The OnePlus Nord N200 is in a weird state right now having been semi-announced by T-Mobile last week, but not being up on OnePlus' own website. However, if you were more concerned with OnePlus' update policy for the new device, especially given the iffy history the Nord line has had with that, we now have an official confirmation from the company that the Nord N200 will only get one major Android update.

This policy is identical to the one that OnePlus got some flack for last year when the Nord N10 and N100 made their debut with the same measly one update promise. Maybe the Nord N200's $239 price will make all of this easier to swallow if you're interested in the device.
