Discussion OnePlus Nord Series

Realme X50m, but with an 90Hz AMOLED Display & OxygenOS. That's how they're keeping the cost low. Using most things from its sister companies and spending as low as they can on R&D. Similar to what Apple did with the new iPhone SE. They took the already existing design of iPhone 8, hence spent less on R&D and were able to price it aggressively.

I think they have worked a lot on the design aspects. So, we cannot call it a rebrand. Also, for me it does not look like RealMe X50m.

I am not saying it's a straight up rebrand like Poco Smartphones. They won't do that. They made a few changes here and there. Like adding the alert slider for example. And they swapped the 120Hz LCD for 90Hz AMOLED Display.

I agree with you. Volume buttons are also different. But, the back and front also looks completely different. Also, the device looks narrower to me.
