OnePlus NORD (5G) 12GB RAM 256GB SIM-Free Smartphone With Quad Camera, Dual SIM - Blue Marble [UK Version]

I've had the (grey) Nord for a couple of weeks now, having previously owned Samsungs for about 10 years. My previous phone was the excellent Samsung Note 8. I actually intended to buy a Pixel 4a but the Nord happened to be beside it in the shop so I had a play with both phones. Within five minutes I had changed my mind and came home and ordered the Nord from Amazon (I didn't need the £10 sim the shop insisted I buy). The Nord is a great phone. Samsung S series quality, without the price. I really don't understand the negative comments about the phone from some people. The build quality is as good as any phone, flagship or otherwise. The screen is superb. The fast refresh rate makes my old Note 8 (which has an 8 series processor) feel sluggish. The battery lasts all day, unless you've got phone issues (I'm getting 10 hours screen on time). The Warp charging is amazing (70% in 30 minutes - so fast that I can't shower and dress with it on charge because I try not to fully charge it every day). The wifi connects in places that no previous phone every worked. The operating system is fast and intuitive. It takes two sim cards if and when we can every travel again (or you want personal and business numbers in the same handset). You can customise it to death. It plays games well. Telephone calls are crystal clear. My Samsung Buds work better with it than they ever did with my Samsung Note. What's not to like? It's a steal at the price. 5/5

Coming from a damaged Samsung note 10 plus 5g I had to get repaired I bought this as temporary phone. But saying that this phone is top notch, price of this phone is just a big bonus the camera is very good it's not as good as my samsung but it's not that far of it's a shame you can't switch between the ultra wide and normal camera when video recording, the other grumble I have is the Bluetooth from phone to my car cuts off and I have to click on the connection to get it to work again, also my ring doorbell doesn't send notifications from my. Phone to my Fitbit which isn't great but not bad considering the price, battery life is really good getting 4/5 sometimes more screen on time, phone call quality is great. The face unlock and finger print sensor is very good the face unlock is lightning fast much better than my note 10 plus 5g, The 90hz refresh rate is also amazing coming from my note 10 plus 5g , I'm actually going to selly note 10 now and stick with the one plus nord as I like it so much and can't stand 60hz now

Look, if you can see through the Apple hype you will know that a solid £600 (at least) of every iPhone is hot air and perception. Sure iPhone is a perfectly good phone - but it's over priced and that really the end of it. If you don't worship at the cult of Apple, you can pick up an Android bargain and save yourself a fortune. This phone leaves me hard pushed to contemplate what on earth Apple could offer me that would persuade me to part with another £600-£900. Don't be silly - look at the spec sheet - this phone is fast, reliable, charges quickly, has a great battery life, beautiful screen, tons of storage - SD card compatible (thank you iPhone) - USB C compatible, comes with the fast charger in the box and it sets up in minutes. Great camera too. My money means something to me, so I'm not going to throw it away. This is a really good phone. Bargain.

Almost 1 year in to Nord ownership and it's been "okay". Just okay really, nothing mind blowing but then what phone really offers mind blowing these days.. For the most part the phone has been good, it's been reliable. The Dual Sim works great, the camera is good, battery life is great. Mine lives in a Spigen case and it's survived a few drops. Software wise has mostly been good. Android 11 has seen a few annoying bugs, such as Android Auto sometimes taking minutes to connect to the car. WiFi tends to turn itself off when the phone is locked. Notifications have been a little flaky too but this seems better than it was. However at the moment I have no plans to replace the phone as I can live with its little issues, it'll likely last me until at least 2 years of ownership before I look for something else (2 years is my rough replacement schedule either way).

Things I wanted for my next phone were: - Good Camera - Good Battery - Fair Screen for watching the odd YouTube vid on. Coming from the Galaxy S9 to this phone, it certainly delivers all this and more. The Battery is huge 4100mAh with my daily use can easily get a good Day & half out of it. Probably two days if i wasn't using it every 5 minutes. The Battery charges so fast i barely even remember the last time i charged the thing, 10 / 15 minutes its good for the day. The camera was good, recent software update from OnePlus polished the camera quality a huge bit. I've side loaded Gcam (Google Camera) software which makes the camera great. Its fast, snappy and responsive. The entire experience OnePlus delivers on this phone is superior. I think far superior to Samsung devices. Its the subtle tweaks / enhancements they make to the native google experience which make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. 10/10 will recommend to anybody in 2020. I'll never go back to a Samsung device for aslong as they keep shipping the rubbish Exynos chips to EU customers. SnapDragon is and will always be King.

After last update 5G became unavailable. Many people complained about it too. It is not clear if and when the manufacturer will resolve the issue.

I replaced my phone finally for the first time in years and it was a really great update! The color is beautiful, the storage is great, and it works well.

Très bonne qualité !!!

IN2003 Model, works in Australia. Great phone, better than Samsung A51. Smooth, fast and all that I love OnePlus for. I still have a working OnePlus 2. Had USB C two years before Samsung. Great company, great phones.

I love this phone easy setup and cool to use love the camera
