Just go for it!
First of all, I would like to tell you that I won’t be giving a very technical review like those on youtube videos. I am gonna give a very honest review as a general phone user just like all of you only. This is my first phone for a price above 20k so I thought and researched a lot before buying. I was confused between buying iPhone 12 and Nord 2 I know the price difference is more but still I won’t go for above 50k to buy any phone other than iPhone. But honestly man I think at 30k this 1+ Nord 2 is really astonishing. You don’t need to go for one plus 9 or other higher range phones of one plus or else if you have some extra bucks in the pocket which u just wanna spend.
So I will be telling u the pros and cons of this phone very honestly after 3-4 days of very vigorous usage.
Pros:
1. Very ultra-premium features at this price range of 30k and pretty much-matching features with higher range one plus models.
2. The display is just great.
3. Screen refresh rate you can actually feel to be fast @90Hz.
4. No heating issue in phone or the charger till now.
5. They are giving a back cover with the phone, which is pretty good actually with bumps inside and camera portion which actually saved my phone from a direct fall on a rough floor that too on-screen side..and no scratches at all!!..so the cover’s tested guys😂and it actually feels elegant. So you need not do the hectic work of searching for back covers after buying a phone and infact the scratch guard which they have put on the screen is quite handy. I don’t think u need to put on a temper guard if u handle ur phone well, anyways that’s your choice..for me, I m gonna go with the scratch guard for some weeks or maybe a month n let’s see how it goes..for now about a week it feels to be performing just outstanding.
So I won’t be telling u more features of this phone as u can read’em anywhere in its specifications.
I will tell you some ‘X-Factors of Nord 2. And why you should decide to buy this phone
1. The charging time. I was like what!! When the phone shoots up from 0% to 85% in just about 30mins and up to 100% in around 40-45 mins…So the warp charging is just out of world @65W charger. Never ever saw this on any phone.
2. The stereo speakers. When I played the first song I was just shocked at what I just heard. Yes, it actually feels to be giving a 3D feel of the sound. Actually sound comes out of speakers on the bottom right as well as speakers on top of the screen which are meant to be for calling purposes only on other phones. So this phone just rocked here.
3. The camera just performs outstandingly in low light, dark, or even very dark surroundings.
To check it I went on to my terrace and clicked a picture in the dark which you can see yourself..I have put it here.
4. The phone build really feels premium.
Some of the cons or I won’t say cons..but I don’t really feel them as cons. as u can ignore them over the astonishing features of this phone..but since we can’t go away without mentioning some cons so here are some.
1. They could have provided a little higher battery capacity like those in Samsung phones coz of Such a high-resolution display and refresh rate..but it could have increased the weight of the phone..so it’s pretty much understandable.
Battery backup is somewhat 12-14 hrs which I got on continuous usage..like songs.. attending meetings on teams. Netflix etc. But since it gives so..so..so.. fast charging u just won’t feel it.
2. No earphone jack.If that is a con to u..not for me actually😂
Nothing else serious issue this phone has got me into till now. So that’s it, guys. If I find anything else after prolonged Usage I will honestly put it here.
So I will say if you wanna buy a phone above 50k just don’t..buy this if your budget is ~25k stretch it a lill and buy this Nord 2.

Initial thoughts- A good, practical phone
Received my unit 4hr ago and here is what I think-
1. Feels sturdy and premium in hand.
2. 90hz looks absolutely fine, you won’t miss 120hz
3. In normal usage, the phone did not heat.
4. Charged from 20-100% in just 15-20mins. My mind was blown away.
5. Cameras- I didn’t use it much but a sample image is attached which I took from the primary rear camera. So far it looks good to me.
6. UI is clean but there were a lot of permissions that I had to accept to use the basic things like camera, search in the drawer. It clearly says in the policy that it shares my data. I believe we cannot do much about this.
This is my initial impression, will update accordingly in the future.

My experience after 14 days
I am writing this review after using this Mobile for the last 14days. I know the confusion of a person who is going to spend a big amount of money on mobile. I went through the same phase and I will try to give my honest review about the OnePlus Nord 2 and cover all the aspects of it. I will make sure that after reading this review you will easily make your decision.
1) Camera
rear camera: 5/5
front camera: 4/5
Awesome Rear camera with 50MP main performs super. I have attached images for reference. Focus is very fast and dynamic range is also Plus point.
the front camera is also good to buy note best but I can say that overall it’s good in this price range.
So many users are complaining about colour os code merge into oxygen os but I feel that camera quality is improved due to this. camera features are well organized compared to only oxygen os.
2) software experience: 5/5
It’s an awesome experience for me as I am coming from MIUI ( redmi note 4 ). Clean UI without any bloatware and ads.
3) Performance: 5/5
All applications are working very smoothly. I never encountered any lagging issues till now. I didn’t play heavy games on it so I am not aware of gaming performance. over-all I can say “Phone makkhan ki tarah chalta hy”.
4) charging time: 5/5
super fast charging.
5) Face recognition Speed: 5/5
it’s very very fast similar to charging Speed.
6) Fingerprint sensor Speed: 4/5
7) Battery Life: 4/5
It gives you 6-7 hours screen on time which is good. For me, Full charging Lasts for 1.5 days.
8) Carrier Aggregation and network quality: 5/5
9) Look: 5/5
when you hold it in your hands it looks very premium Mobile. I have grey colour which comes with Matt finish.
10) Ram management: 3/5
This is a bit disappointing part of the OnePlus Nord 2. I think this will improve after the software update so no need to worry.
11) Heating issue
Yes, Mobile is the heating bit when you use it continuously for a long time. But this is a classical OnePlus issue and It can be solved through software updates.
12) Haptic feedback: 5/5
13) Display: 5/5
14) speaker: 5/5
dual speakers with High loudness makes it awesome 😎
conclusion :
If you are a normal user and looking for well balance Phone in all aspects then the OnePlus Nord 2 is made for you in this price range. Just buy it and please don’t forget to thank me later 🙂

Nothing Different from the previous One Plus Phones.
Delivered yesterday and the initial impressions were good. But then when I enrolled in my fingerprint that’s when the issue started. The phone wasn’t able to read the fingerprint at all. No matter how many times I tried it didn’t work. Since the one plus store is very near my place I took the phone over there and they said they had to calibrate the sensor and after that, I haven’t faced any issue as such.
Update after going to the store, still the issue persists technician came and verified the same and the replacements on the way. Hopefully won’t face any issues with that one.

Waste of hard-earned money – buy only if you want to throw your money to buy a bin
In my first review given within 24 hrs, l found it amazing but after 10 days of usage l can say it is full of bugs; l checked my return window it passed on 3rd Aug; l regret to choose one plus over Samsung.. sooner l have to exchange or throw this mobile if bugs not fixed. One plus no never purchase; frustrated with this mobile.

Phone not up to expectation as described, Bugs needs to be fixed
I got OnePlus Nord 2 5G phone delivered yesterday. While setting up the Phone got an update and updated my phone. Some bugs need to be fixed by the OnePlus team. Below are some findings.
1. Charging time of this phone from 21% to 100% took around 16 minutes which is good but at the same time battery is draining too fast after 2 hours battery was 31%. As I am not a heavy user of this phone but still battery drained fast.
2. While installing apps or updating apps I get an error message stating that my storage is full and need to remove unused apps. I purchased 256 GB internal storage and had 217 GB free storage.
3. While I was using the Flipkart app I noticed that after 12 seconds app closes automatically and I need to reopen it again and again after every 12 seconds. This is very annoying.
Please think before you buy this phone.

Wait for updates to feel good about the purchase.
Received this yesterday and the first impression from look and feel was great.
Was waiting for some reviews but will go first on this one, haven’t tried the camera yet and should not as I moved from a Pixel 5 to this one. Purely for sake of google not providing dual apps even with the eSim option.
Things went south
1) The mobile heated up a bit even during data transfer done via the One plus switch App.
2) VLC, the gallery kept crashing. Videos will stop in the middle and close, the gallery will crash while you scroll on pictures.
3) Few things are hard to find, not sure why the camera needs so much permission just to let you open it.
4) Then came an update today morning and it hit the app cloner seems. Even with FB, Insta, and WA on mobile, it’s not able to see it. I even reinstalled those to see if it picks it up.
Seems like a half-baked product with a lack of testing rolled out to market. We are the test users.
The product is overall okay and not my first one plus device. Just a bit of a letdown to start with and will have to wait on how soon these issues are sorted.
– App cloner is showing apps now. However below apps continue to crash
– Camera
– WhatsApp
– youtube
– Spotify
– shuttle. Ruined Android auto as well.
I am sure the list is long, but these are the ones tried today and it’s pathetic.

Very bad and worst experience with OnePlus
Bad experience with this from the moment it was received.
Mobile hangs and slows while the initial startup.
The device not working properly and restarts several times automatically.
App clone not working and I have the apps on my mobile it is mentioned in the app clone but it doesn’t show anything to clone.
Normal WhatsApp chat drive backup not working… My old WhatsApp backups are gone😡😡😡.
Very bad and worst experience with OnePlus.
