OnePlus Nord Review
Made available in glossy colours of Blue Marble and Grey Onyx, the OnePlus Nord provides great value for money. The phone has a clean UI, a good battery life and can multitask. While the gadget feels strong, a plastic edge and an all-glass body might not say that out loud . The phone does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack because of which you will have to rely on the Type-C port for connecting headphones. It also lacks options to expand the internal storage and the IP rating for dust and water resistance. With its bright colors, amazing viewing angles and great clarity, you can watch movies and videos to your heart’s content. When it comes to the cameras, the phone does a good job but is it great ? Not really. This is because of the secondary sensors not being good enough to take pictures under low lighting even though the primary camera works decently. If you are looking forward to making vlogs, then this phone might not be an ideal choice as it is not accompanied by support for external mics. The OnePlus Nord is not good for playing heavy games and you might experience some lags that might get you vexed. If you are chasing after a good OnePlus experience without breaking your pocket, then go for this one.
