-[* black] Although the OnePlus Nord does not have an IP rating, it does use rubber connector gaskets found in the IP68-certified OnePlus 8 Pro, so it ''may ''have inherited some water and dust resistance.

-[* black] Remove two Phillips screws and the motherboard lifts out revealing some thermal paste on the back.
- [* icon_note] The thermal paste is applied onto the graphite foil covering the chips which on their own have thermal paste applied to them. On the opposite site the paste transfers the heat towards a copper element running from the motherboard down along the display behind the cables—even desert temperatures can’t stop us.
