OnePlus Nord
oneplus nord The budget offering from OnePlus, which comes with a similar software experience to the OnePlus 8 and also has cameras that largely match the flagship series. The good thing for fans is that the company has introduced OnePlus Nord at an aggressive price. OnePlus has kept AMOLED display, Warp Charge fast charging and good battery in this phone. However, compared to the flagship series, the company has made some shortcomings in it, such as its chipset and build quality. OnePlus Nord still has glass on the back, but instead of a metal frame, a plastic frame has been included, which looks like metal.
OnePlus Nord comes equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset. However, the Nord comes with 5G support, which is not a useful feature in India at the moment, but it will not make you feel left out in the future. Its app and gaming performance is good. It captures good photos and videos in daylight and the display comes with HDR 10+ support.
Quality is compromised in low-light and this is the only major weakness of this phone. Battery life is very good and the single speaker performs averagely, but doesn’t disappoint. One impressive feature of the OnePlus is the ability to shoot 4K selfie videos at 60fps, which even the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro can’t do.
