Had a lot of fun with this one :D Are you upgrading or are you gonna skip this one? 📱

[sydbailey]

Wish they'd drop the 2 useless cameras and improved another aspect of the phone

To be fair not every smartphone in this price range has a 90 hertz AMOLED screen

“On the surface oneplus nord is just another mid ranger”

That’s all it is imo

[reviewthecheapest]

The phone looks solid. I would like to see a comparison with the Samsung's mid-rangers.

The title kinda makes me laugh a bit because in North America, at least in the tech bubble, it would be top 3 best midrangers.

Degoo seems like a scam tbh. There's no way they can offer that much storage and *not* look through your stuff.

Also, look at their trust pilot reviews. Absolutely horrible.

Don't go with thunderdrive either, their reviews are just as bad.

Basically this
Without the software it's just a boring midranger with atmost average hardware with plastic frame and an " okay " camera.
But oxygen OS in itself is something.

[kyhfin]

Can you indicate which firmware version you tested as it seems other review videos have much better photos (from the main and front camera)?

[arjunp.b]

Oxygen OS all the way. The prime reason to go for the Nord. And it looks pretty cool. Way better than others in the price range.

Finally someone said it. It's just a mid ranger. Im tired of everyone blowing it up like it's the best thing in the world. It's very similar to other similar BBK products from oppo and realme.

are all keys metal now? i had oneplus 7 pro that volume keys fell off by itself cuz they plastic

[Firecross]

What about the screen tint problem at low level of brightness? 7T has it, model 8 too.

[jayeshseth]

whenever someone says Camera is bad
me: just slap a gcam to it

[winjr]

Seems a bit expensive for the specs.
But having a clean OS like OxygenOS is much better than the bloatware made by Xiaomi.
I had a Mi Mix 2 for a year. Altough the hardware was good, the OS and Bloatware were awful. I swore to never buy a Xiomi phone ever again.

[ankitgondalia]

Finally someone reviewed the phone the right way. It's nothing but just an overhyped phone. Nothing ground breaking. Just a generic mid range phone with OOS

[keirenstanden]

Would this be an upgrade from the Huawei p20 pro?

[arvindsingh]

Whn the display tint issue will be fixed ?

[jayduncan]

One plus has promised two years of software support for the Nord.
