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.

Pros:
- Big 90Hz screen
- A mid-range smartphone with 5G
- Capable cameras
- Tempting price
Cons:
- Middleweight Snapdragon processor sometimes chokes on heavier tasks
- Cheap screen protector pre-installed
- Phones this big aren’t for everyone
- Not coming to the US

OnePlus Nord 8+128GB Blue Marble MP 04042 review
What OnePlus has quite expertly done is make a phone that doesn't leave you pining for a greater experience - and you might even be grateful you saved the price difference by opting not to go for an 8 series. Because who really needs a pricey flagship anyway?
Pros:
- Large and flat AMOLED panel
- 30W fast-charging
- Oxygen OS is fast and fluid
- 90Hz refresh rates
- 5G capable
- Great battery life
Cons:
- Plasticky edges
- More cameras than there needs to be
- Launch is restricted to a couple of regions

Don’t feel that you need to spend a fortune for your next phone. Don’t feel that you need to go with the most heavily-advertised brand either. The OnePlus Nord is a top quality smartphone. Ignore the price.
