OnePlus Nord Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus Nord - cold calculation

The Chinese company Vanplas wants, if not global dominance in the smartphone market, then certainly an increase in the number of buyers. Expensive flagship phones are not affordable for everyone, so the release of mid-range devices to expand the audience is a logical action for the manufacturer. The hero of today's review became the first representative of the brand's new inexpensive line.

The appearance of the novelty is not much inferior to the developer's flagships. Stylish body contours of metal and glass, the strict, but at the same time incredibly beautiful design quartet PV modules integrated in the upper left corner of the frameless display dual front-facing camera and a sub-screen fingerprint reader combined into the actual eye-catching design. The 6.44-inch AMOLED panel has everything you need to please millions. A high resolution of 2400x1080 pixels, brilliant brightness and contrast settings, Gorilla Glass 5, an image refresh rate of 90 hertz and DC Dimming technology to suppress the harmful PWM effect on the eyes, make it just a pleasure to work with a phablet.

The technical characteristics are not top-notch, but very productive. The latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor with support for 5G networks is combined with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and an Adreno 620 video accelerator. The bundle makes it possible to enjoy resource-intensive games without any problems at maximum graphics settings, although the highest number of frames per second will not be achieved in all demanding projects. Internal storage allocated 128 / 256GB of UFS 2.1 format.

The main 48-, 8-, 5- and 2-megapixel modules, led by the Sony IMX586 sensor, are also very good thanks to optical stabilization. Of course, a number of users will lack a telephoto lens, but in other scenarios, cameras will not upset with detail and color rendition. Selfie fans will be deeply delighted with 32- and 8-megapixel front cameras. The battery capacity is 4115mAh , there is a fast charging function. The battery will be enough for one and a half to two days of active use of the gadget. The already huge list of advantages is replenished with contactless payments ( NFC ), an excellent proprietary OxygenOS shell. Of the shortcomings, we note only the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. As a result, the device intends to be a bestseller that will be remembered for a long time.
