The Nord 2 is of a pretty solid build - it has a duo of Gorilla Glass 5 panels and a plastic frame. The internal chassis is made of aluminum and you can see and feel it jutting out at the back enveloping the cameras.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is offered in three different versions - Gray Sierra, Blue Haze, Green Wood - and each of these have a different finish on the rear panel. The Gray Sierra offers a matte back notable for its fingerprint and smudge resistance.
