How to create a hype, ask someone with OnePlus and its new novel mid-range phone Nord. Those who already had a flagship level OnePlus phone were also asked to ask, “Do I sell it and take it to Nord?” Thousands of people had pre-booking before the launch of the phone. There was not much difference in the popularity of OnePlus among the anti-China sentiment in the country. But is the OnePlus Nord really such a banged up phone, which should not be seen before buying, or not?
Short answer – no. There was a lot of talk about the specialty of OnePlus Nord. 90Hz AMOLED display, big battery, fast charging, quad rear camera, dual front-facing camera and oxygen OS. We have been hearing all these things since a few months ago. But no one is telling what is the problem in OnePlus Nord or why it should not be bought.
Oneplus Nord, from competition
OnePlus Nord is a mid-range phone. that’s so true. But compare with other phones in the market, then it is not cheaper than any angle. The phone starts at Rs. 24,999 only. In itte, at one time, phones with flagship processors used to come. In the premium segment, humans do not measure money and specification as much as budget and mid-range. And when the measurement is done, the truth under the hype will also be seen.
Mid-range phone for Rs 25,000
Remember Redmi’s K20 Pro? The same one that came with the Snapdragon 855 processor. Still get 24,999 rupees. The recently launched ‘Reality X3’ is also of 24,999. And this phone has a flagship Snapdragon 855+ chip. On the other hand, OnePlus Nord is being sold at the same rate with a mid-range processor.
The Snapdragon 765G processor is very good for a mid-range phone. But Snapdragon’s 800-series processor fills the front water. It does not matter whether the rest of the features are good or not. Even after spending 25,000 rupees, if the phone does not have a flagship chip and PUBG mobile does not run at the extreme frame rate, then all is useless. Either the phone would have a flagship level chip or the price would have been reduced by two to three thousand rupees.
Headphone jack
The OnePlus Nord was launched with the no-wired OnePlus Budge. How will they sell now? When the phone does not have a normal headphone port. And this is why the audio jack is missing in OnePlus Nord. So those who buy good headphones, sell them, because ‘Nord is Different’. Buy either headphones with USB ports or wired earphones.
UFS 2.1:
UFS means that universal flash storage is a system of storing data in any phone or camera. UFS is the speed of writing data in a way. You can understand this as your handwriting. At present, UFS 3.0 technology is coming in good phones, but UFS 2.1 has been given in OnePlus Nord. OnePlus 7 smartphone of 2019 itself has UFS 3.0 and after that onePlus 7T series also came and OnePlus 8 series also.
Speaker
From AMOLED display to camera with 90Hz refresh rate, everything OnePlus did well by calling it premium feature – premium feature. But one premium feature was completely lost. And that is the audio experience of the phone. First thing, the phone has only one speaker instead of stereo sound. The second thing is that even the only speaker does not support Dolby Atmos. This was not expected from OnePlus.
