One Plus says the Nord is "pretty much everything you could ask for". That's a big call but this 5G phone certainly delivers plenty of fantastic features.

Nice to look at and scroll through

The Nord has an impressive 6.44-inch Fluid AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate that allows for smoother scrolling and sharper swiping.  

Great shots back and front

The Nord is already receiving acclaim for the excellent shots from its camera set up: 48 + 8 +5 + 2MP rear cameras, with 32 + 8MP front cameras. What stands out are the 48MP primary sensor which comes with optical image stabilisation (OIS) to eliminate blur and shake, while the 32MP primary front camera includes advanced image processing smart features for clear and detailed selfies. 

Bright, brighter, brightest

A noteworthy feature of the Nord is the 2,048 levels of automatic brightness for smoother brightness transitions and enhanced eye comfort.  This is evident whether you're checking social media or browsing a web page.

Faster than before

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G Mobile Platform that powers the Nord improves CPU speeds and delivers 30% faster graphic rendering than its predecessor. The 8GB of RAM is more than enough to run all your favourite apps at once, and in seamless style. 

Charging at warp speed

Warp Charge 30T can refill Nord from 0 to 70% in just half an hour and, as an important bonus, it will even keep your phone cool during heavy use.

OnePlus Nord 8+128GB Blue Marble MP 04042 review

OnePlus got started with affordable so-called “flagship killers” like the OnePlus One and OnePlus 3. But over the years, its phones have become more expensive (as have most phones, to be fair).
Pros:
  • Build quality Plastic frame aside, this feels just like a OnePlus phone should — it’s well made and likely to be durable over time
  • Display Smooth 90Hz AMOLED panel with a good-enough 1080p resolution and decent brightness levels. It’s also flat, which means no accidental touches or tinted sides.
Cons:
  • Design It’s not unattractive, but it’s certainly a step down from the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro — you just can’t beat those matte glass finishes and centered camera modules
  • Cameras (again) Sensor crop zoom is terrible past 2x.

OnePlus Nord 8+128GB Blue Marble MP 04042 review

So… it's time to draw the proverbial line in the sand. Is the OnePlus Nord good enough? And is it a "flagship killer"? To the first question, the answer is a big yes, and for the second one, I think it’s not quite there.
Pros:
  • Very aggressive price
  • outstanding value for the money
  • Gorgeous AMOLED screen
  • Fast performance
  • 90Hz support
  • Very fast charging (30W)
Cons:
  • Colors in photos are a bit muted
  • lack a bit in liveliness
  • No telephoto camera
  • macro lens is a gimmick
  • No headphone jack
  • no expandable storage
  • Loudspeaker quality is average
  • No wireless charging

OnePlus Nord 8+128GB Blue Marble MP 04042 review

The OnePlus Nord is, on paper and after my test, one of the most beautiful phones made by a brand. OnePlus has understood what was missing from its catalog: a more accessible model.
Pros:
  • AMOLED 90 Hz screen
  • Great quad-camera performance
  • Powerful Snapdragon 765G processor
  • Fluid Oxygen OS experience
  • Value-for-money
Cons:
  • Dated and flashy design
  • No telephoto lens
  • No wireless charging
  • No IP certification

OnePlus Nord 8+128GB Blue Marble MP 04042 review

The OnePlus Nord is a very good phone full stop – and an absolute bargain at only £379. It looks the part. The screen is great. The rear main camera is great and the battery life is very good.
