  • The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is priced around €400 in Europe, and that immediately puts it on the fast track to the flagship killer segment. It has the looks, the screen, the performance, the camera, and the battery of a high-end phone, so this sort of aggressive pricing will certainly bring about great popularity as long as they've got the basics right. Check out our video review to learn ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW about the OnePlus Nord 2 5G's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

    I dumped iPhones for OnePlus 3 and 6T. Each was great for two years. The OnePlus 9 is a hot mess I was forced to unload in just 3 months. The phone is unusable in summer or warmer climates, has to be turned off outside. If this Nord runs cooler and within more appropriate parameters there should be a recall of the 9s and this phone should be offered instead. Unfortunately I had to give up on these clowns altogether when they secretly throttled the 9 instead of admitting it was a piece of shit. My Mi 11 Lite is all I need and it was only $319.

    OnePlus Norde 2 5g or Mi 11 lite 5g NE ?
    i can't choose between these two which one to buy, the xiaomi has macro camera that the one plus doesn't and also im worried abotu battery life degrading cause of that insane 66wat charger , also worried about oneplus updates if they are not consistent but the oneplus has a better camera .

      @@danialputra9298 Flagship level processor 3Ghz mediatek dimensity1200 which is monster compared to 778g accordingly gpu much stronger in Nord 2
      Nord 2 has memory ufs 3.1 better than 2.1 on galaxy a52s
      Premium quality design front and back gorilla glass 5 ( a52s is plastic feels like a toy in comparison to nord2, the looks are amazing its like u holding an expensive phone) stereo speakers are much louder and clearer on nord 2
      main camera is a flagship sony imx 766 sensor that is much better in lowlight photograpy than a52s
      video on nord 2 is noticeably more stable dont know if its a bug on a52s or it is how it is.
      smooth os no bloatwear better bluetooth and wifi connectivity 65 wat warp charger battery full in 30mins while lasting whole day and i still have 15-20% left
      Antutu score on my nord 2 is 680 000 while on a52s is barely 500 000 which proves that a52s is a good phone but more on the mid range category but nord 2 more in the upper midrange category but in the end i guess is up to personal preference what phone you like better if u are looking for premium design ,better performance, extremely fast charging while also having great camera Nord 2 is for you. And if great camera with macro mode , water resistance , and lower budget are your priorities go for the a52 but nord 2
