OnePlus Nord 2 5G (UK) - 8GB RAM 128GB SIM Free Smartphone with Triple Camera and 65W Warp Charge - 2 Year Warranty - Grey Sierra

Not Surprising its another hit from oneplus punching way above the mid range market at an afordable price , is it a flagship killler? Probably not but it's definitely biteing at there ankles , Truley impressed I'd originally bought the 9 pro from John Lewis and wasn't very impressed with all the hassleblad collaboration tosh and the curved edge screen was annoying as hell and a week after buying they announced the Nord 2 and at half the price with pretty much solid spec I quickly retuned the 9 pro for a refund and ordered a Nord 2 not only did I pocket half my money back I still ended up with pretty much as good device Solid build , grate screen smooth performance , quality Audio , 65w charging Solid OS , Camera that's actually Good and will only get better with updates and so far solid battery life , not sure what the other reviewer is on but battery is grate if charging 4 times a day then clearly spending to much time glued to your phone or its fualty and needs replacing , not to mention it takes time for the ROM to settle and to learn your patterns so will improve over time , nice to have the alert slider implemented as well and 90hz display is the sweet spot and helps battery life over a 120hz display , sorry I'm banging on !! So I'm off to waste my saved £400 squid on some other tech tack , Best Bang for buck really , yer you could go Xiaomi , Realme etc but with heavy clunky phones and poor OS and displays I've encountered befor are be stickng with this As Good as a flagship without the pric

If you know what features you do or do not need on a phone, and you think this may fit the bill - it will. I paid £299 for the 8GB / 128GB version. I wouldn't pay more for the 12 / 256 as the 8GB is plenty fast. Almost flagship quick processor. A good camera for the price, although I'm comparing it to a pixel 4 where the camera is exceptional, so a little unfair. Good all day battery life and mega quick recharging - 0 to 100% in 30 mins, but you have to use the included charger AND the cable. Colour is grey but with a blue tinge, maybe this is what Sierra means.... Screen is lovely to use....don't use the Samsung internet browser, as this isn't compatible with a smooth 90HZ refresh rate that this phone has. Fast and responsive 2D face recognition and fingerprint reader. The glass back feels more like plastic, but I still like it. Overall the phone is stylish and in my opinion looks better than the mid range product it is. Screen brightness could be better in direct sunlight but it's perfectly useable...... No IP rating, but it does have OIS on the camera. And a bit heavier than I would like. But if you're as geeky as I am you probably already know these things! Comparing this to my ageing "top spec at the time" Pixel 4, I'm impressed and prepared to miss out on the features I really want for this price.

The Nord 2 is a fantastic phone for it's price. For a mid range phone it is priced very well. The Oxygen OS is slick, customizable and easy to use. The phone itself (8GB Ram) is plenty fast enough for most users. Fingerprint is fast, facial recognition is fast, charging is genuinely fast. Like silly fast. Like you almost feel bad how fast it charges. However, the phone does have some drawbacks. The main camera (50mp) is good, don't get me wrong. But, it does come with some flaws. The 50mp lens is just that. No optical (this is advertised) but it also cannot digital zoom. You cannot change any settings (AI etc) on the 50mp lens, just focus/Auto focus. It does take good pictures but it will not be the default when you open up the camera app. If you're in a rush trying to take a picture of something, you will have to manually change it to the 50mp lens every time you open the camera app (unless you keep it open constantly in the background). So you are stuck with the 8mp digital zoom lens which is okay but I want my 50mp lens to atleast have a digital zoom. Coming from a OnePlus 6 with notification LED, I really did not realize how good a feature that LED is. I miss it a ridiculous amount which is hilarious and saddening at the same time. Downloaded an app for the always on display to mimic but it just isn't the same and does drain battery. Overall, a really good phone. More phone than most people need these days. It isn't a "flagship killer" but it definitely is worth the money, especially when there is an offer on. And also as an FYI, the phone does come with its own clear OnePlus case (actually a decent case, see myself using it until it's properly worn out) in the box which isn't advertised. Would be nice to know this before ordering a seperate case to just end up returning after opening the box.

I bought this phone as a replacement for a Redmi Note 10 Pro that was stolen. I've been using it for about three weeks. I have done little tweaking other than changing the theme, so my review is based on how the phone is 'out of the box.' There are plenty of thorough technical reviews on the web, so these are just my real-world experiences. I've got to say I love this phone. It's definitely a step up from the Redmi Note 10 Pro, even though the screen is a little smaller and isn't 120 Hz. The display on the Nord 2 is also AMOLED and looks great. The camera takes much better pictures than the Redmi. They are crisp and sharp even though I've left all the settings at default. The sound is also significantly louder than the Redmi; in fact, it's louder than most phones. I have no problems listening to podcasts in the shower - OnePlus doesn't claim that it's waterproof, though, so don't actually take it in the shower! I found the Redmi Note 10 Pro would go 'strange' on me every few days. The screen image would be too big for the screen, and the only way to fix it was to reset the phone—no problems with the OneNote. I have not had to reset it a single time. I have two SIM cards in the phone (BT and Lycamobile), and they both work fine together. I live in an area without 5G, so I can't comment on that. Occasionally I have travelled into an area that is supposed to have some 5G, but I haven't seen the icons change from 4G to 5G. That said, I wasn't paying much attention. If 5G is important to you, see what other reviewers say. I paired the phone with a 32nd Classic Series 2.0 - Real Leather Book Wallet Flip Case Cover For OnePlus Nord 2 5G. It fits perfectly and looks great. Together they have a solid, reassuringly heavy feel in the hand. And finally, battery life is excellent. At the end of the day, I still have 60-70% charge left, so I'm sure it could easily last two days. Even better is the 'warp' charging. In the evenings, I can top up that 30-40% to take it up to 100% in 5-10 minutes. Even a full charge takes half an hour or less. It's very impressive. You do need their charger and cable though. I tried charging it with their charger and a longer, good-quality cable, and charging was back to average speeds. I don't have any complaints at all with this phone. I love it. If I were unlucky enough to lose this one as well, I'd buy another Nord 2. Buy with confidence!

The phone has a slight drain increase on the battery from initial purchase, but I've both played a lot of game hours and charged the device frequently. If left alone or infrequently used you'll get a day or so out of the phone. It runs most things I've tried really smoothly and doesn't seem to hitch running playstation emulators, so that says something. CoD mobile, PUBG, Soul Knight, Dead Cells no issues, frames were consistent even in particle heavy sections. Sound quality is really good, really loud but it doesn't compress or overdrive the speaker so it cracks. Screen quality is really nice, pretty much what you get from 1+, Samsung, hauwei etc Only con is how sensitive the screen dimming is. The cameras I've tested a little but not my usual use of a phone. They're really good however fairly saturated, but I'm happy they focused on core components and less on giant cameras with this model. I recommend getting this phone because A: it's cheap as a mf and B: it is as good if not better in some regards than its higher end competition. Which has always been the case with 1+ One pro/con is that the screen is a little over sensitive. It will swipe on touches for example, but it barely happens on keyboard so it must be just sensitive to minute changes. Coincidentally I set a speedrun top 10 time on this phone, so the sensitivity helped in some regard to game movement. Review flex

After running with the Huawei P30 for a year and a half I thought about OnePlus when it next came time to upgrade. I then started to look at their phones and research OxygenOS and liked what I saw. I then discovered the Nord series - midrange handsets with near flagship level features/specs and started investing more time into it. I found out the latest Nord model would release. So after weeks of mulling it over and directly comparing the P30 against the Nord 2 I decided to take the plunge. I took delivery of the phone the next day and set about unboxing and setting it up. I was like a kid at Christmas. The phone came in a nice looking black box with simple blue lines down the side and the OnePlus Nord branding imprinted on the front. When you shine light on the Nord lettering and look from a certain angle you can see a multi-colour reflection. I then unboxed the phone which came with a screen protector preinstalled and a clear rubber case (when you set the phone down on a flat surface with the case on and turn on the torch the entire thing lights up around the edges and looks pretty snazzy) Also included is the 65w charger, red USB-C cable, SIM removal tool, documents and a very nice letter from OnePlus. Holding the phone in my hand without the case, I have to say it feels amazing, it's a really comfy phone to hold and unlike any phone I've held before, because of the materials it's made from. It's kind of hard to explain but it just feels nice in the hand. It's almost like a silky smooth texture with very slight roughness for grip. Anyway, I powered on and set up the phone, logged in with my Google details, ran all the system software updates and installed all my apps. I then went to settings to do some tinkering and customise the OS to a look and feel of my liking. Everything is easy to find in the settings and there's a respectable amount of things to customise for the OS (colours, AOD, fonts, wallpapers, horizon light for notifications etc) As for OxygenOS itself I like it - very fresh, clean and simple. And it'll only get better once 12.0 releases. It's currently 4 April 2022 as I'm writing this and I'm still waiting for 12.0 so hopefully it'll be here soon. A Theme store and more new features will be getting added, as far as I'm aware. Just search OxygenOS 12 to see the new additions. The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset is as good as any on-par Qualcomm Snapdragon and can handle graphic intensive games like COD Mobile with ease - No overheating. No lag. Nothing of the sort that I've noticed. The MediaTek is a solid performing chipset and the glue that holds everything together. Great levels of performance with no noticeable frame drops or dips during gameplay or in general daily usage. As for the refresh rate the Nord 2 might only have 90Hz capability and not the 120Hz of some flagship models but it's obviously better than 60Hz and is pretty much the sweet spot, as battery life would suffer under 120Hz. You can have it in either 90Hz or 60Hz mode but sometimes the phone will switch between modes depending on the scenario. I leave it on 90Hz for the most part and it's fine. The FHD+ Fluid AMOLED display with HDR10+ makes for impressive viewing - sharp looking details, vibrant & true to life colours which pop nicely (you can change vividness in settings) and overall just a nice, big, bright, crystal clear viewing experience - games, TV series, movies and YouTube all look amazing! The 4500mAh battery with 65w charging is a godsend and will get you out of a jam, for example if you're short on time. I've put the Nord 2 on charge at around 15%, gone away then come back about 25 minutes later and it's already at 100%. They weren't lying about the charging speed. Awesome camera, too! Shots with the built-in Sony IMX766 Exmor sensor look sharp with nice accurate colour and detail, however some shots do look washed out. Night shots look decent but not the best and can look overprocessed and grainy due to the AI scene recongition mode. I'll admit I've been spoiled by the P30's Leica AG camera though (one of the best smartphone cameras ever produced) so the experience might be different for you depending on what phone you're coming from. As for Audio, I do miss the baked in DolbyAtmos audio from the P30 which gave rich, detailed and crystal clear sound across the board with several scenario based modes to choose from, despite only having the one loudspeaker. The Nord 2 has arguably worse audio on balance but it does have the benefit of two loudspeakers which does claw back some of that loss. All in all, there is more than enough with the Nord 2 to warrant it as a truly worthy near-flagship upgrade from whichever device you're using now, like me with the P30 for example (I know, the standard P30 isn't a flagship) Nord 2 is a very capable device and has something for everyone with its impressive spec sheet and range of apps and features. I've had the 8GB RAM model for 7 months now and its still hitting the high notes like the day I got it. I can imagine the 12GB RAM variant is basically Nord 2 on roids. I fully recommend you to get this phone, you won't be sorry! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I might come back with edits from time to time.

I got this for less than 160 quid. And it's brand new! I have actually been using a Nord 2T for the last couple of years very happily. This is the slightly older version but is very very similar, so I knew what to expect. It's a back up phone for me that I have some specific occasions that I use it when out and about. It has a double SIM slot. Charging is very fast but not quite as fast as the 2T. The only issue I have ever had with the Nord 2 is that very occasionally it won't connect via Bluetooth to certain things. No obvious reason and then one day it will. I would say for a very modest price this does most everything I need from a phone. It's not the best at anything (except perhaps speed of charging) but it is really competent at everything I ask of it. One drawback of getting this older model is that you have to upgrade the OS from oxygen 9. No big deal but I had to do it several times to get from OS 9 to OS 13. I wonder if it will eventually catch up with the 2T which is on OS 14 for a few months now. Overall if you are looking for a decent phone at a very modest price then I recommend this for the sort of money I paid.

I have used Oneplus for 10 years now after dropping apple. I have used the 6, 9 and now the Nord 2. No problems at all, the fast charger is marvelous and the interface intuitive. Camera is great for general snaps and the screen quality is super sharp. I use the old 6+ as a dedicated music player without problems and she's getting on for 10 years old now.

Aktuell kann ich nur positives berichten. Es werden immer wieder Updates von OnePlus bereitgestellt und der Touchscreen sowie die Bildschärfe sind wirklich super. Dazu was ich bis jetzt noch nicht erlebt hatte ist, dass das OnePlus ausgeliefert wird mit von vorneherein aufgebrachten Schutzfolie und es ist ein Silikon Case in der Verpackung mit vorhanden. Wirklich super.

Muy buen móvil, llevo años con One Plus y así seguiré, el mes pasado me he comprado el 12 y brutal
