You couldn't be more off the mark my friend. Nord's design and optimizations are absolutely magnificent! I am so highly impressed with the job the, Architect, Development Crew, and Manufacturers did, that after just getting one of their lower-end models; the Nord One Plus, only $200; less than a week ago, I already want to see MORE, MORE, MORE from the Nord team! I honestly think this phone dusted out the Galaxy S21 Ultra while speeding right past it. And for $1,000 cheaper. Can't beat that!

        Akashraj, 07 Jul 2021You should check out the source article. Op almost never us... moreAre they really needed tho? I'd argue no. Would be nice if users had control over this tho. Like some sort of "App Power Manager" where you could select what apps use what cores in 3 tiers of exclusion. X1 core, regular performance cores and low power cores. So you could just exclude apps from using X1 or you could exclude them from using even regular performance ones and force it to run on low power cores only. For example if it's a background app thta just syncs stuff or whatever. Or even more cool, being able to force apps to use only performance cores no matter what. But such control on stock ROM is probably just wishful thinking.

          I use OnePlus since OnePlus 3 and I know that OnePlus phones are much faster than Samsung or HTC I got before. I'm talking about real world (not just some tests)

                    I wonder if other companies do this, hence Samsungs usually have much lower scores compared to other android manufacturers.

                          I cant believe people pay $1000 for a performance of $300 midrange phone. It's made in China after all. A $50 fake Rolex look almost 95% of a $50k Rolex until you open and inspect inside.

                                I'm using the s21 256GB Version. I can say I'm regret to have bought it. The battery life on my phone is below average or horrible. I have to charge my phone 2 times a day in order to get through the day with moderate. usage. The performance is not bad. But you got to make sure you buy a portable charger. I used to have a Huawei P30 and the battery lasted all day I mean 11 hours and still have about 40% left with same usage.

                                    Its a feature, guys, not cheating. A lot of apps do not even require all the cores or even the big cores to run. What's wrong with a little better saving tweak there
