Head to our best cheap phones list and you'll see that OnePlus can be consistently relied upon to deliver top-notch hardware for not much money at all – and that's definitely the case when it comes to the OnePlus Nord 2 at the moment, which is down to less than £160 at Amazon right now.

A quick glance over at CamelCamelCamel reveals that this is the cheapest the handset has ever been since it launched. With 60% off its original retail price of £399, this is the perfect opportunity to get yourself a very decent phone without having to dip into your life savings – and ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2024.
OnePlus Nord 2: was £399, now £159.90 at Amazon
Despite its low price, the OnePlus Nord 2 has plenty to offer. It comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, as well as top-drawer Mediatek Dimensity 1200 processor to keep everything running smoothly. We like the triple-lens rear camera and speedy 65W wired charging too.
The question is why you would spend more on another mid-ranger or a flagship phone when you can get this one so cheaply? For comparison purposes, the Google Pixel 8 Pro has a starting price of £999 – which is over six times more than this OnePlus offer!
If you need any more convincing, check out our OnePlus Nord 2 review, where we described the handset as offering "everything you could need from a phone", with the performance, camera capture quality, and battery life singled out for particular praise.
Of course there are some compromises – the best phones from Apple, Samsung, Google and others are faster, made of better materials, and capable of taking better photos and videos – but the differences aren't necessarily enough to justify such a huge discrepancy in price.
You'll pay just £159.90 for the OnePlus Nord 2 from Amazon right now, and we think you're going to struggle to get a better phone for the same price – and we're including newer models in that assessment.
