OnePlus Nord 5G 128GB
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
The OnePlus Nord is a mid-range smartphone that, for the price, offers some really great things. You get a decent camera and other flagship features bundled up in a great looking smartphone for under £400 but the problem is, they're not the only company doing this any more so it's hard for the Nord...
Pros:
- Excellent price
- Good range of camera features
- Flagship features at a better price
- The smartphone looks great
- Side switch to mute phone
Cons:
- Battery life isn't 'wow'
- No wireless charging
- Zoom isn't great
- No headphone jack
- No IP rating

OnePlus Nord is light and robust with perhaps the market's best screen compared to the price.
Pros:
- Light and robust phone with perhaps the market's best screen for the price. Excellent front camera with ultra-wide angle, lightning fast 5G, fast charging and good battery life
Cons:
- Anonymous and semi-boring design, no built-in stereo speakers, ultra-wide angle night mode does not work, and performance is not overwhelming.
