This is the first time we are hearing about a special edition variant for the OnePlus Nord, so details surrounding it are slim at the moment. The teaser image posted by the company suggests we might just be getting the OnePlus Nord in a sandstone finish, similar to what we saw with the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition. The Special Edition variant will likely be announced during the OnePlus 8T launch event, which is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST on October 14th.

The OnePlus Nord currently comes in Gray Onyx and Blue Marble colour options with a glass back finish. The upcoming OnePlus Nord Special Edition variant could replace the rear glass panel with a sandstone finish or it could be glass in a new limited edition colour option, but we can only speculate at the moment.
