One of the best phones from oneplus in the last few years and a strong choice over a flagship with their ridiculous prices these days

The next Dimensity chipset will be OVER 9000

Been a long time since OnePlus release a good midrange phone, im definitely getting this one!

[LaraSuperFan]

Just out of curiosity, why do they bother putting a macro camera if it's always such low quality? I've seen it on so many phones recently. Who would even want to take photos in that quality? Or does it serve some other purpose? Genuinely curious

OnePlus is finally back making pretty good midrange phone 💯 The Nord 3 is quite powerful for its price point

LoL. is this 5:32 video shot really from Bulgaria, Sofia? my dentist is 2 shops to the left from that arms market. :D

Just bought the phone yesterday, had the 6 7 pro and the last was the 9 pro... now I have the nord 3 and it's simply amazing!!!!

[fhshuvo]

Which will be better overall (OnePlus 10T 8+128) or (OnePlus Nord 3 16+256)

Im replacing oneplus 3t to nord 3, this is what I call flagship killer, bought oneplus 3t for 400€ now buying nord 3 for 500€ after 7 years, nearly same price+inflation.

Looks good, too bad they are not selling this in the USA. I'm a current OnePlus user (N20 5G), and would consider this as an upgrade. I guess the N30 is supposed to be the equivalent for this region ?

[dr.fitprofessor]

Obviously, this is a lot of phone for the money. The mediatek dimensity 9000 chipset is a flagship level processor. If I didn't already have a oneplus 11 this would be pretty tempting.

[jzgamingstuff]

Ordered already.. went from Nord, Nord 2, 2T now Nord 3 not too pricey so can change every year

[marcohoehener]

You should include software update frequency in your reviews. That is so often the problem with midrange phones.

[sage_mode_]

Very decent and solid device. And especially the 16gb RAM in 500 bucks offer sounds a very good option!

[hayyanalmemsani]

I wish i remembered this one existed before buying my a54

[ant]

I have oneplus 9 right now. Should I upgrade to Nord 3? Or would it be too similar to what I already have?

[sjstu]

So good to see this. Finally the Nord can challenge Pixel and Nothing at the midrange.

[ralphbercero]

Can throttling issue be fixed through an update?

[ErikVanRent]

Silly question, so no 4k stabilization, but can you shoot video in 2k resolution? If so, is there stabilization on that?

[darkkrad]

Just bought this one on release day. I think it's the best bang for buck phone OnePlus has released in the last 5 years. I love my phone.
