Hey Chaps! Would you buy a OnePlus phone??
I always wanted to buy it because of value but they’re trying to mess things up these days
No
If they lunch in the Philippines for under ₱24,990 under $500
No they fallen a bit too much
nop
I think that 90hz is the sweet spot. You get smooth and nice handling while getting better battery life, it may be insignificant but a few percentages is a difference between making that call or not.
Just use LTPO
Imagine 90hz and ltpo even better battery. Honestly difference is miniscule.
@@suntzu1409 big brain moment
Good point
Nah 120 and there's a noticeable difference when you go from 90 to 120
Waiting for your pixel 6a review.Lovely video btw,the Nord 2t is a solid midrange phone🙂.I would also love you to do a longterm review of the s22 ultra.
Hi,
I came across your TV reviews, which is better for gaming?The LG G1 OLED evo or to get it with out evo for gaming?
If you look closely at the 2T’s camera bump, you’ll notice that the camera layout is the same, they just relocated the flash and slapped a new design on it.
I think if someone is interested in both 5G and mobile gaming - then this new Nord addition with the Dimensity 1300 support could be a feasible choice worthy of being considered.
Is it 120 hz?
Hey techchap the Dimensity 1200 - AI is also a 6nm chipset the only difference between the Dimensity 1200 - AI and Dimensity 1300 is the Mediatek's Hyperengine gaming technology software feature is upgraded from 3.0 to 5.0
I think it will be worth buying it! The Dimensity 1300 is a nice addition to it!
Thank you for mentioning the Nord CE 2 Lite. I was contemplating between that and this phone. Now I know what I'm gonna get for sure. 😁
Just to many oneplus phones now days I had some of the early ones and did really love them back in the day
I think the fast charging sells it for me over the a53 or any of the pixels. Too many times i find myself on my way out and seeing my battery is low. Nice to charge like 30% in 5-10 minutes.
Is that processor is realizable like snapdragons???
Way too many phones one plus... I don't even know which is positioned against which, and design language is inconsistent.
OnePlus is turning into their sister company oppo. Never settle no longer exists
Yeah idk anymore, they can't even make a strong performing one?
That's smaller ideally.
The dimensity 1200 is 6nm not 7nm. The processors are exactly the same. It score more because of a different performance profile. Turn on the performance mode in both phones and you will get the same results.
2T is better
Weird phone but not a bad price for specs. Love the backdrop of the video Tom. You’ve worked hard at it and put thought in. It shows and looks fantastic. Keep doing your thing, and don’t be scared to fire more of your own opinion in there!
Why weird?
@@mrcgeraldes because of the cameras
between realme gt series and oneplus nord series, which one have better software experience, and software update?
Looking to get a new phone, got the oneplus 6 2018ish and looking at CE, CE Lite, Nord CE, Nord 2, 10T, the 11, I'm just totally lost. I wish they had a page on their website just dedicated to explaining wtf it all means haha
Which is a better buy nord 2t or moto edge 30 both 256 gb versions,i can'r decide for days?Thanks
I have the 1st OnePlus Nord (8GB/128GB). I have the new Nothing Phone(1) in my hands but I could upgrade to this OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. I just donno :) I have been using the Nothing Phone(1) for a few days and based on this very short time I have mixed feelings. It's unique, no questions there. The camera and battery might be a little dissapointment to what I'd expect, however I don't need or expect anything high-end. I never thought I'd care about fast charge - and well the nothing phone is not speedy :) but it has wireless and reverse wireless charging. What do you or your viewers recommend, I am curious about thoughts.
What camera are you using to record this video?
I think oppo took over one plus completely to pull them down since oneplus were selling better than their main oppo's flagship.
i was also thinking the same!
And it looks like realme is turning into what oneplus was.
Doesn't really matter though. OnePlus, Oppo, Realme & VIVO are all brands from the same parent company (BBK Electronics).
I wait oppo Reno 8 Pro plus
@@dradvyrk6162 still real me doesn't sound promising for a long run
this phone is pretty fast considering the price of it compare to the samsung a53 which is almost similarly priced but one thing holding me back is the back camera design
Which one has better camera?
Thumbnail , well edited 👌🏽
The dual ambient light sensor sounds promising. I wish more phones would implement that
It's true. Sometimes when I'm watching a movie in the dark on my galaxy A51 it doesn't put it to minimum brightness, bc the screen itself lights up a lot...
I have an iphone X now. Is the nord 2t a good entry entry back to android again?
Please help, I have a huawei mate20 pro and I want to change to oneplus nord 2 or nord 2t or do I keep the huawei mate20 pro
OnePlus is doing as much anti-oneplus as they can possibly do. Instead of well designed phones they are releasing rebranded realme phones (nord 2t, ce2, 10r). Not updating devices properly or on time. Switching to Colour OS instead of Oxygen OS. Releasing shit ton of phones (they were in such a hurry that didn't even bother to include alert slider on the new 10r). I mean how can the leadership allow all this to happen to a company which was literally the highest selling premium brand in India. Enthusiast loved OnePluses for their speed reliability design features convenience.
I have a question... is camera on this phone better than on Huawei P30? tnx
Just arrived yesterday for me, I love it. Great phone with great specs and price! The 80 watt charger charges the phone in less than 20 minutes full ,👍
How's it? I'm thinking to buy it.
@@deepworld7 its great! did u get it?
Great video, thank you! 👍
Compare this to the Samsung A52s. It has a better chip than the a53. A52s still has 3 updates left even though it’s older. Although the dim 1300 is probably faster than the 778g but most tasks are optimised more for snapdragon. Great review btw!
But we all have to agreed here that snapdragon 778G and Dimensity 1300 is better then Exynos 1280
@@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh Definitely. That's the risk with mediatech. Some stuff might not be well optimised with it. That was my experience with a kyrin 970 in the past. I'm using an A52s and it does feel like all apps work well with it. My only complaint is for some reason using Google Chrome causes a lot of heating up at the moment using high battery use. Might try reinstalling it, clearing cache and using alternative browsers.
@@paultasker7788 oh i stop using chrome very long time ago both PC and android, its the most heaviest browser and battery consuming app ever made, plus even you force close on the phone it reopen again on android, but kirin 970 is still better then older exynos 990 or older
@@paultasker7788 overall you have to experiment or research on which chip set and which phone is best for gaming, camera's and battery life, in my humble opinion i have fallen in love with XiaoMi RedMi k40 5G model which in a heart beat i'll recommend that phone to everyone
@@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh there's plenty of choice. Never even heard of that phone. You're right. Although it's subjective. I've read reviews and then find I disagree once I get the device. So need to look at sample photos too with regards to the camera. Anything at this price point is pretty good nowadays though.
im still using the OnePlus 5T for about 6 years now and its still a beast no slow down battery life is good and this is my gaming and browsing daily driver.. i played rpgs like ragnarok enternal love, ragnarok X next generation and ragnarok origin since the game launch until now. ( 3yrs and counting). 6ram 64rom OxygenOS version 9.0.6.
Looking forward to nord 3 and 10r reviews ✌🏻
I forgot how nice ur vids are tech chapper :)
@All Please help me between Oneplus Nord 2T or Oneplus 9..
I can only buy 1 phone.. its for day to day use.. like whatapps calls etc
Does front cam have EIS & wide angle?
I love your studio with your fine speech delivery and video quality. From Bangladesh 🥰
Is there a bug on this phone ? in that when the Bluetooth is switched on the icon is not visible.
These are some cool specs in this OnePlus and mediatek smartphone
Between the Nord 2T & the Nord 2:
1. Which phone in practice (not just specs) produces natural (not oversaturated), sharp, low noise, better dynamic range, good low light/night mode photos and great video stabilisation for its main and selfie cameras?
2. Are both phones considered splashproof and safe for minor liquid exposure to water or rain? (for accidents)
Disappointed with Samsung coz of slow performing phones. Had Xiaomi but pushes slow updates.
Please help me choose. Many Thanks.
For point 2. The phones dom't have official IP ratings but I've seen tests and the Nord survived splashes well enough.
@@frosthammer917 Which phones have Dolby Atmos audio?
So im actually considering this over the A53 mainly due to the performance. I have seen people complain about lagging on their A53. I can imagine 3 years of Android updates will tank it, as usual.
would recommend to check the the likelihood of combusting as well
this model is notorious for exploding
If the software support was better I would maybe consider it
This or Samsung galaxy A73?? Which do you recommend??
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍
Should i bought 2t or wait for nord 3?? Please suggest
Tom, where is your full 10 Pro review squire?
Wich better in camera oneplus nord 2t or poco f4 5g ??
I love OnePlus stuff, and I have an OnePlus phone, a OnePlus watch, and OnePlus headphones 😅
Would it be worth upgrading from iphone 8 to the nord 2T?
Yeah, I was a long term iPhone user but decided to switch. Best choice ever
2T also Excellent Design 💗
Cool review thanks
So what's better, this or Oppo Reno 8 lite?
Nice clearly video superb
In my country, Nord 2 is much cheaper at the moment. Not worth buying it just yet, needs a bit of time to break in to the market.
Stupid question: What is a good site that sells this model?
I picked up the 256GB model of this handset for the steal price of £369.
A real shame this phone doesn't have a micro SD card slot to upgrade the storage (like the lower priced CE model). OnePlus have really missed a trick here to stand out over their competitors in this price range. Still a great phone for the money, though.
Nobody uses SD cards , grow up.
You can buy external hard-drive, and upload content there trough your computer, if you need more space
@@onraj9mm I'm using SD cards, grow up
@@onraj9mm speak for yourself.
Where does your storage space go? If its pictures and videos then I understand but I can easily survive with 30gb
Waiting for your Xperia 1 vi review
Maybe oneplus is much low of camera but samsung a53 have 25w fast charging and you didn't recived in the box oneplus nord 2T come whit 80w turbo charging silicone case , this is definitely a big plus for me
Of all things in the video,,, Your cat is amazing 😍😍😍
Is this a good upgrade from pixel 4a?
Anyone knows when Oneplus Nord 3 releases?
One plus ace raceing edition make a video
Seems like OnePlus will ship new android version to their new phone, and the old one will be stuck on the previous version after receiving it.
What are you talking about? The 2 major updates are always guaranteed
2 major updates but I have yet to see Android 12 update notification on my device. I doubt it will roll better than Android 11 was.
It will probably be stable when Android 13 launches.
@@dradvyrk6162 it's in beta,so it will arrive at some point .
The A52s is currently a great deal at less than 300. That's got better CPU than the A53. The Nord 2T is quicker still. Camera wise I didn't really like the Nord 2. I had original Nord before the A53 and that worked well with Gcam. But when I tried that on a Nord 2 I got poor results. Gcam doesn't work great with mediatech chips. However I feel default OnePlus camera is too contrasty losing detail in shadows. A52s is good here. Definitely better. The galaxy A52S/A53 has a nicer screen (better colours and 120hz) but the one plus is better built. But since I have a case on my phone makes little difference. That new vibrate motor on OnePlus Nord 2 is very nice. A huge improvement on the terrible one in original Nord. Even Samsung is not that good but it's good enough to feel it in your pocket which is what you need. The Samsung feels lighter to use. I'm happy with my A52s. OnePlus Nord 2T biggest advantage is the fast charging speed.
i just returned my nord 2 to the store, nice smartphone, but the cam... something in the HDR was wrong! really strange looking photos. i from now on just trust Snapdragon ISP (image signal processor) Iphone ISP, or my favourite google pixel (Tensor) Mediatek? never again
@@nivea878 That's the same problem I had. Massive contrast and dark colours were often rendered black. An issue too with 1st Snapdragon Nord but using Gcam on that fixed it completely. On the 2 Gcam looked the same. Gcam wasn't designed for mediatech chips.
This software looks so much worse compared to the older oxygen os
Bro, cheap samsungs like a53 get same 2 yrars android and 3rd security!!!
I have a question I'm curious what you think about! Instead of buying the Nord 2T, why not buy the oneplus 9 pro? I see the 9 pro costs around £500 for the 256gb, 8gb ram version and the Nord 2T 256gb, 12 ram version costs £469 which is very close. Isn't 9 pro a better option? Also, I think 9 pro will be supported for 3 years and Nord 2T for 2 years, so in the end they will have the same android version even though 9 pro is 1 year older..
In my country tye nord 2t is much cheaper
Coming from a Galaxy s9+ this will surely be a good upgrade for me :D
I Will buy it tomorrow… mandag… i love it🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
The A53 is for sure tempting, but if I trade in my old oneplus 5 the 2T will come out to ~£290. Also my wireless earbuds just died so the free oneplus buds Z2 you get will actually save me even more money :P
Edit: Ended up getting a used S20 Ultra for the same price, zero regrets 👌
Used 7Ts can be had for that price in decent shape. I'd much rather have one of those.
@@veganpotterthevegan Hmm idk, the s20 ultra outclasses the 7T in a lot of specs. I also just wanted to distance myself from OnePlus tbh, at least till they return to their roots (still hoping!).
@@Wolfie_96 I think they're still close to their roots. I could have bought a 10 Pro for $200 less than my S22 Ultra. My 7t was about $300 cheaper than the best Samsung. I'm pretty ok with that Gao changing a bit. I really do miss thy operating system of my 7t though. And the face recognition and fingerprint sensor is nowhere near as good as my old phone. The fingerprint sensor works 1 out of 20 times with a screen protector on it😑 My 7t rarely needed an additional finger press
I'm buying it, because it literally has everything I wish for in a smartphone. A fast and reliable processor, a long lasting battery, and decent audio quality. I am gonna miss the headphone jack though.
I think I'm gonna get it too. I was gonna get the Nord 2, but even though this is more expensive (I'm going to purchase it from amazon and its 470 pounds and the Nord 2 is 365 pounds, I think). I think it's just worth getting this version, but if I'm honest I'm still seriously torn.
@@imel3ment4l10 if money is a serious issue and you don't play heavy games than just go for the og, it's not that different, I want the 2t cause of the longevity though (androud 12, smaller chip)
@@nikipavlin8032 that's the thing I do play mobile games as a time passer, Apex Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and a few others. My phone is currently 6GB Ram so either 12/8GB Ram is an upgrade but in terms of software and specs I don't know which is best considering they're so similar. I ain't getting one anytime soon, maybe during the summer, so I definitely have plenty of time for a decision.
@@imel3ment4l10 if you have time than maybe wait for the pixel 6a, it has better performance than these 2, or wait for the Poco f4, which comes out soon I hope and is going to be a great allrounder at a budget
This phone doesn't have anything that other phones don't already have 😪
They should have provided a proper 10 bit display with 120 hz atleast
Yep!
even with stabilization video sucks or on the tripod?
If we want to buy 2t why don’t we just buy realme neo 3?
Excellent design Nord 2T
Does the camera have OIS?
Yes
Looks solid. Lots of One+ haters will whine about this and that, but it offers another choice in that price range, and in the US that will be welcome, as last year’s One+ mega-growth showed with One+ mid-range devices. I would easily take the Dimensity over the Exynos and although the A53 probably has better cameras, the main one on the Nord 2T does a reasonable job (mostly). The two updates will take you three years into the future, which is the average length these phones are kept so I do not see that as a downside. 90Hz I am beginning to see as a sensible solution for optimising battery and performance and the $1000 Magic 4 Pro now even has a 90Hz option to balance these metrics. The problem with 120Hz is the next step down is to 60Hz so no middle ground so that means constantly moving between 60 and 120Hz to get better battery.
In a Samsung dominated world, the crowd will just go with Samsung ad infinitum as they will, but the Nord 2T will give those that like to switch it up a chance to have a change and I suspect this will do really well.
you whining like samsung completely controlled the whole f in world, so why the hell ppl keeps talking about Apple? Lol there is no brand that is absolute dominant in this damn world.
Oneplus failed so hard they had to be absorbed by big bro oppo and to where they use a oppo Ui in some countries 😅 you just sound salty af
@@mattmasi303 One+ are doing well with rapid growth in the US and solid sales in a number of countries. They are fighting in a tough segment where many have failed (LG) and the merger with OPPO was to protect it from the ups and downs of margins being eroded due to price cutting as Android OEMs fight for their survival. It means they can share tech and save money, ergo cheaper phones, the OP10 Pro a sign of that at around £800 retail (£700 or less at resellers). One+ was the first to be a “flagship killer” b it we are flooded with these now and there is simply not much money in that sector, so change or die and they have re-evaluated and will let others fight in that flagship-killer arena. You are thinking from a purely personal un-objective view whilst One+ is trying to be a business that can be around for years to come.
@@mattmasi303 they didnt fail, their growth rate was hindered after Carl left. Hope they get to their best cause one plus used to be better than vivo, Oppo too
OnePlus is just a memory of the past. It's pure oppo these days.
Cheaper, how ?
the Nord2T anouncement mail from oneplus i got, had the EXACT same price as the Nord 2, if not slightly more expensive in my currency.
So thats a blatent lie. i am happy i picked up a S21FE 8G/256 at same price on a sale tho. Much better specs at that price.
Got this phone today. One of the best for its price.
Water proof h kya mobile
I specifically got the Nord CE 2 lite because of the LCD screen. Can't stand that PWM.
I prefer the Blue colour on the other Nord Smartphones.
The CE range is crap.
Love this one. Might stick with my more expensive Pixel 7 though
without a doubt i will go with this phone instead a31 a51 etc
I'm trying to decide between Nord 2t and 8t. Both are currently 399€ in my local shops.
8t 2022 flagship Snapdragon 865, yeah no compromises
I want Nord 2t mobile ..how
Worth getting now?
For mid range cameras, Samsung 20 FE, Xiaomi 12 Lite , Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G Plus or the Xiaomi Mi 11 5G NE Lite. For a budget phone with great cameras, you still can't beat the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. For gamers, still hard to beat the POCO F3 or the Samsung A52s as they are also good all around phones with good cameras. Just my humble opinion.
Realy fast phone But be careful, its fraggiel . But no bloatware and a delight to use ( clean Android )
im very curious to know whether buying the oneplus 9 would just be a better deal than both of these, because it is pretty much better in every way except for that fact that it does not have ois and maybe a few other things and for the same price, the 9 pro might just a better deal overall because you get water resistance, better cameras and all those good things although it is a bit more expensive, but at the same time you could just buy the s21 or s21fe for cheaper and they are pretty good all rounders
Do not get one 9 plus, 2 years after purchase it already has visible green vertical lines
I will wait for Nord 3
should i upgrade from the nord 1? or should i wait for the nord 3?
you should wait
@@mattymurdo4134 thanks
Bought it for 270$, pretty happy so far
Is this snapdragon?
Not.
I thought he was shirtless in the intro. Nope, just a color matched shirt lol
I can't be the only one who saw the thumbnail and thought it was going to be about the pipeline.
Best phone in Android!. I bought it today.
From the back, it looks like the phone is wearing gassing! 🤣
