OnePlus Nord 2 Smartphone Reviews

OnePlus Nord 2 Review-Now, after using both the one plus nine Pro, and the regular one plus nine for a good while this year. It was definitely an interesting experience. Switching to their budget phone last. It really did. Give me an insight into what sacrifices you notice coming from those Flagship phones, but also the various features that feel almost identical. And so the first aspect that feels very much. The same is the design. We've got glass on the back and on the front, the buttons are very cliquey and tactile.

That alerts lot of feels just as taut as the more premium phones and we also have that single hole punch, the selfie camera sitting at the top left of the display, the design of the camera module has. Now been updated to match the rest of the lineup as well. I've got to say in the hand. It honestly feels pretty much identical to. The really premium feeling y plus 9, the only real difference is that the chin is slightly bigger on the Nord to, in comparison to the one plus nine, but the other bezels are all very slim and quickly forgotten. About the chin after an hour or two of using the phone. Now on the other hand, where the 1 plus 9 and 9 Pro have 120, hertz displays the nor to only has a nine Hertz power. But I use the word only fairly liberally here because 90 Hertz is still a very nice to have it. In fact, I didn't really notice the switch when I first started using this far. I did however notice the slightly slower refresh rate display after prolonged use when I for one reason or another needed to temporarily use a fund with a 120 hertz power.

But again, if you like most people and this phone will be the one and only found you're using, then you're going to really enjoy this display then back to similarities with more premium phones. And what's really impressive. Is that both the haptics and the in display fingerprint sensors from the more expensive phones? Feel pretty much identical on this file coming from using the ZTE axon 30, which has just about the worst tactics. You can find on any modern phone. And it was truly a joy to experience. Since the really tight clicky haptics on the Nord to the fingerprint sensor is also pretty fast. Although it's still positioned. It's slightly too low on the display for my liking and for some reason, 1 plus also makes it virtually impossible to register. The same thing for it, twice for improved speed and accuracy, which is definitely a bit of not. Now, in terms of battery life. This is one area that I thought was fairly weak with both the 1 plus 9 and 9 Pro with a nod to. I've actually experienced

 Really impressive battery life, most days. I'm ending with anywhere between 50 to 60 percent of battery left. And with lot is Odyssey, Reagan octopus, this phone to poo full days of use with the 1 plus 9, and 9 Pro. I would never risk not charging them overnight. So this is a point to the north to over those more expensive fats. A large part of this improved battery performance is thanks to that slightly slower up, refresh rate display, but also no doubt. Thanks to the less beefiest specs inside. I'd took where the 1 plus 9 and 9 Pro house top-of-the-line. Snapdragon Triple H chipsets inside the Nord to instead utilizes a mediatek, chip set the dye immensity 1200 AI, to be precise. Now a few years back, anytime, a device utilized a mediatek chipset. I could immediately tell that the performance was like last are in comparison to phones using Snapdragon chip sets. But mediatek chipsets have obviously come a long way in the last few years because I've been pretty satisfied with the performance.

Obvious fun. Now, is it Flagship level performance? Absolutely. Not. In fact, I'll probably say that performance. He's basically the 1K area. The differentiates this phone from its more premium counterparts. But then again those more expensive devices are just about some of the fastest phones you can find right now. So it's a pretty tough capacity look by and large this phone performs pretty well. And more importantly, very reliable. There have been no major hiccups with the software side of things. And so again, An coming from the axon 30, which was having issues with rare management and not sending text messages. Sometimes. It's been nice to have a phone that just works. But then the last piece of the puzzle is the camera experience, a like a lot of phones. I've reviewed this year and Main camera on this phone is actually pretty decent as long as you give it. Plenty of light. It can capture detailed images with pretty solid dynamic range. And for the most part, I've enjoyed my experience with it that again, like most budget phones as soon as the sun sets a bit or you step.

Inside where there's a little less light than even. The main camera will start to struggle. And unfortunately, using nightscape doesn't Help much either. The ultra-wide lens is also not nearly as reliable as the main sensor. Even in fantastic conditions. You can really see a drop image Clarity and dynamic range when comparing the images to the ones taken with the Badlands, but look always prefer having a slightly subpart ultra-wide lens then nothing at all. What I would prefer they left out though is this 2 mega pixel monochrome sensor 1 plus this thing is useless. It's you know, so get rid of it. And so would I recommend this fun. Yes, but that all depends on the price of it where you live. So you here in Australia, it actually sits right between the Nord Cee and the regular 1 plus 9 in terms of price. It's actually close enough to the price of the 1 plus 9. That I personally suggest spending a little more than picking up that phone. It's dead. The North Sea is also a decent bit cheaper as well and you don't lose out on much compared to the nor to except perhaps in the build and design department. But price aside either way, I do really

Like this fine, it feels surprisingly close nearly. Every way to one house is much more expensive devices. And that is a win in my books. Let me know what you think about one plus one or two down in the comments below and if you're interested in seeing what I think one plus needs to change to improve their entire phone line of going formad.
