One Plus should learn how to work with updates from them. Moto Edge 20 series will kill One Plus Nord 2 for sure.But it should launch fast.

I had two of them and both of them were running with custom roms and I was happy with it. But price to performance ratio and the reason I bought it was Oxygen OS. That is not the case anymore. Realme UI works like charm on Realme X2 Pro and happy with it. One month ago got Realme UI 2 and it's better than ever. Battery life is still amazing after two years. And I will rock it for another year. Better camera than One Plus 7T.

        Just FIX YOUR POLLS ON CHROME ANDROID...This is a mobile orientated site where people can't vote for polls on a mobile.

              Woohoo, 25 Jul 2021100% agree with you mate! The X7 Max is simply a better de... moreIt's available at 25K with card discount(256GB Model) which is killer deal in my opinion.

                - hi-end triple cameras with large sensors, possible with fancy periscope/gimbal telephoto lens
                - best in class screens with 144Hz, 1440p, high touch sampling rate
                - wireless charging
                - gimmicks like pen support, monitor docks, ceramic/leather backs

                  I need to have a test with one to make my opinion, but I will not buy it from the site i try a local store

                    Dont compare Xiaomi and Poco cheap phones with this. If you want something stable and reliable look no further than OP. Use alot of phones at work and these with Samsung and Apple are the most reliable. Xiaomi , LG , Sony ect cause way too many issues.

Mui is very buggy , to the point of wanting to throw it in the trash can, I used to have a OP 5T for three years with no issues and the OS was very good too.

                        Acorns, 26 Jul 2021I'm more than happy with my X3 NFC with 4g and I agree... moreHere in the philippines, you could count on your fingers the area that we have 5g, and some of them doesn't offer a "true" 5g speeds like 25 mbps to 75 mbps max. Heck, im currently living in an area , where 4g is still shady..haha. only got fiber wifi services just only 2 years ago. im guessing another 5-7 years for 5g here.

                          Nord 1 was mediocre.

                            Anonymous, 26 Jul 20213.5 mm jack I can understand but what's the deal about... moreWe need to have 2 things ideally:-
                            •3.5mm HP Jack
                            •Either mSD slot (or) USB 3.0 for fast file transfers to/from laptop/PC.
                            We know that most phones have 128+GB but in order to utilise it fully you need the 2nd point I mentioned.
                            Guess what we already had all this in previous Samsung S/Note phones & even mid-rangers like Oppo Reno 2 (Oppo is the only one giving USB 3.0 in their Reno line so it's still alright after they removed the mSD slot)

                              Anonymous, 26 Jul 20213.5 mm jack I can understand but what's the deal about... moreLol, microSD card slot makes totally easy file transfer on the move. If you put everything inside the internal storage, you have to transfer the files to a USB or to a laptop using a cable. I don't have to worry any of that with microSD card. Also, let's not forget how apps keeps on growing in size and also how much storage taken for video recording.

                                Acorns, 26 Jul 2021I'm more than happy with my X3 NFC with 4g and I agree... more5G will come to UK after 2025. I am talking about proper nationwide 5G. Not half baked 5G which most of the countries have now. Half baked 5G will result into battery draining. In 2025,you get good Poco branded phone with multiple 5G band phone in your country. 4G/4G+ is enough for now for most of the countries. We don't need 5G till 2025. Operators should give more and more data on 4G to get returns on 4G investment and put that money into 5G expansion as everybody is removing Huawei equipment which was best in terms of 4G and Nokia+Ericsson is costly affair. It will result into proper 5G launch on perfect timing.

Why everybody is behind 5G s... moreI'm more than happy with my X3 NFC with 4g and I agree 4g is plenty fast enough and I'm in UK in a city with 5g coverage. I don't change my phone's every 5 minutes like some people but when I do decide to get a new handset the point of my comment was that I like the Poco X3 range because they have IPS LCD screens not amoled and 5g is purely for future proofing when it becomes the established norm like 4g is now. Also it's a similar story with chips, the 732g chip in this phone is plenty fast enough for me and the 888 would literally be overkill for what I need in a phone. When you don't swap and change phones all the time it's just nice to know certain features are there for when you need them and 5g will become the norm but 4g will be fine for next 2-3 years easily. Peace ✌️
