The OnePlus Nord is a very good phone full stop – and an absolute bargain at only £379. It looks the part. The screen is great. The rear main camera is great and the battery life is very good.

The OnePlus Nord is one of OnePlus' strongest launches ever, just because it offers so much for such a low price. Like the OnePlus 7 Pro launch last year, the Nord is one of those phones that is just so miles ahead of its Android competition, it will probably compare favorably to mid-range phones...

A 90Hz display, at this price range, is an absolutely killer feature; A flat, distortion-free display, just like every content, app, and website creator intended; A modern, slim bezel design that is indistinguishable from a flagship smartphone.

OnePlus doesn't do monthly security updates. It'll be more like every other month; No always-on display; Facebook crapware; Shipping six mediocre cameras instead of two good cameras.

OnePlus Nord Software And User Experience We really like OnePlus’ take on Android 10. OxygenOS 10.5 (as it’s called) is quick, smooth, and always a pleasure to use. Most importantly, it’s almost stock.

Really nice 90Hz display; Good enough cameras w/ OIS; Excellent performance; Stock Android; Great value

Plastic mid-frame; really?; Not sold in the US; No wireless charging; No headphone jack

OnePlus got started with affordable so-called “flagship killers” like the OnePlus One and OnePlus 3. But over the years, its phones have become more expensive (as have most phones, to be fair).

Build quality Plastic frame aside, this feels just like a OnePlus phone should — it’s well made and likely to be durable over time; Display Smooth 90Hz AMOLED panel with a good-enough 1080p resolution and decent brightness levels. It’s also flat, which means no accidental touches or tinted sides.

Design It’s not unattractive, but it’s certainly a step down from the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro — you just can’t beat those matte glass finishes and centered camera modules; Cameras (again) Sensor crop zoom is terrible past 2x.

On paper, OnePlus is doing everything right with its first midrange smartphone in years. The Nord looks the business, packs a rich, flagship-grade design and combines a tried and tested rear-camera set-up with a dual-selfie camera - cue the youth appeal.

Simple; premium design; Low-cost 5G; Best-in-class screen

No telephoto camera; Underwhelming ultra-wide shots; Poor macro camera; No wireless charging

OnePlus Nord marks the return of OnePlus phones to a more affordable price point after years of the company jacking up prices on its normal flagship line to Samsung Galaxy levels. It’s a welcomed move by a company who does a lot right with an Android phone, they just can’t seem to stop pricing...

The OnePlus Nord is priced Rs 24,999 onwards and is available in three variants and you get the choice of Blue Marble and Gray Onyx colour options.

We’re at a point where 5G capabilities in mid-range devices aren’t new anymore but are always nice to keep, just in case. For PHP 21,990 , the OnePlus Nord is currently on top of my recommendations list for 5G-ready mid-rangers available today.

The OnePlus Nord is a smooth, attractive phone that shows what we're missing in the US when it comes to affordable 5G handsets.

Affordable; Gorgeous build; Excellent front-facing cameras; Fast and smooth performance

Doesn't work well on US networks

If you’re not familiar with OnePlus then it’s a brand worth taking seriously, especially if you’re in the marke...
