User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

I purchased the Nord from it's inception. I was not in the position to purchase a flagship phone but wanted to buy a top line mid range mobile phone. To this end I researched just about any and everything that could be of use to me. To the point I almost lost sight of what I wanted so pre-purchased the OnePlus Nord. I had not had a OnePlus before but liked Carl Pei's enthusiasm and what I hoped was forward thinking. Basically I wanted a phone I could trust that would give me 5G in the UK.
The day of the augmented launch arrived. I had my package from OnePlus and happily opened each box. Even better when I realised OnePlus had seen fit to give me a free set of OnePlus Buds in the same lurid green as my new phone!!. All continued well, the phone worked well, better than any I'd had before, the buds were marvellous, I still use them as my principal set of wireless buds whenever I'm not using my headphones. I still use the Nord and it has served me well in all but the ONE REASON i had researched and even written to OnePlus prior to launch.
Not to go on about it but I have a serious illness so I just wanted to find out what 5G was like, I'm still waiting to find out what 5G will be like. I downloaded all necessary updates, wrote umpteen messages to Community, Customer Support etc. In the end I gave up. I've enjoyed my years with it as a 4G phone lol.

      This phone is the shit after 3 years still charges fast, still lasts full day. It's better than most mid range phones of today.

          Tehtarik, 16 Apr 2023Im still using this phone i love it no issues still strong ... moreDon't upgrade to OS12, it's fine & smooth to use OS11, i rolled back to OS11 from OS12, many problems I have faced with OS12.

          Only one thing missing with OS11 is 5G connectivity.

                    I've had this phone for about a year, it got submerged in water and I needed to get it replaced (same phone received).
                    SEVERAL problems already seen after getting my phone replaced, all being the issues I had with my prior phone.
                    The settings either changed by themselves or would not saved to what I changed them to, which btw I ended up losing pictures and information from my last phone because the settings didn't stick!
                    I'll open up photos, and it won't load... PHOTOS. Game apps, Chrome, etc. I understand they sometimes don't work but photos!?! I opened up Facebook and it opened just find.
                    I've had to restart my phone multiple times because the keyboard would get stuck on my screen even after turning off the screen and turning it back on. I'll open up other apps, click the home button and it won't go away I actually have to restart it.

                    How is it that I'm having the same issues with a new phone? At first I thought maybe it was an issue with the physical phone itself, but I didn't add anything but photos and Facebook and boom.. same issues so starting to thing it's the system or brand of phone.

                    The brightness on the phone changes randomly, I'll be in the same room, same spot, haven't moved and the brightness goes down as if I haven't touched my screen in a while.
                    My screen will randomly go black. Volume button won't work at times. I'll hit the power button to turn off my screen and it'll spaz out turning on and off, I pressed it once just to turn the screen off.. the button isn't stuck or anything so wtf?

                    I'll take pictures and it's been taking forever just to snap the picture OR it won't even save the first picture I took!

                    This phone sucks! Only reason I got it was because it was an "upgrade" option, I wish I never took it because my old phone (the one before the one that got submerged) was actually better than this crap.

                    I've had people say it may need an update, no. After each update it just gets worse, like what are you adding to these "updates" to make the phones work even worse than before?! This is ridiculous.

                      Pretty cool for the Nord having a codename for a late great Swedish EDM composer

Charging is great as you said but the battery has started to show signs of degradation for me. Barely though.

                              Bought it at launch date still going strong in 2023, i really like the longevity of this phone, battery is good, charging is fast. Such a shame that it won't get Android 13 update.

                                Dominican, 26 Mar 2023Do not buy this brand of @#$%, they are the last to update ... moreThe Oxygen Updater app from Google Play can grab official updates more quickly than it may show up through the normal update process, but there's only a few months left before the official updates will stop anyway.

                                LineageOS 20 (based on Android 13) is now available for the Nord though, so that could be switched to instead for anyone who already has this phone, but users should make sure they're already on the latest OxygenOS 12 release before switching as that firmware level is needed for the WiFi/Network to work properly.

                                This information is only intended for those who already own it, as I have no desire (or the knowedge) to make any recommendations on whether someone should or shouldn't buy one.

                                  I've used it for almost 3 years, upgraded from OnePlus 6 and the disappointment was almost immediate. The build quality was worse, the plastic frame felt much cheaper and the vibration motor was also very lacklustre.

                                  Kudos to the display, it was good.

                                  Battery was good initially but fell off a cliff around the 2 year mark. It started to struggle staying alive for a full day and often had to bring a charger along for the day. Speaking of charging, it was fast and honestly great, got to 50% within at 15min.

                                  It actually survived quite a few drops, ive dropped it to the floor and concrete and for the most part it held up shockingly fine, although it did meet its match after falling on its corner off of a table and then had a display failure after i dropped it onto the concrete around chest height.

                                  Camera was alright, although the zoom lens was basically worthless. Front facing wide lens came in handy exactly once, and for that one time i was very greatfull for it, despite its lacklustre quality. Normal selfie lens was also fine, got the job done and was good enough.
                                  Also as time went on launching the camera app became slower and slower. I had a bug where it would apply a horrifying filter after snapping a photo, the quality was awful and i had to in the moment just take a screenshot of the viewfinder because the quality was so much better on that. I think after a restart it got fixed (also restarts take bloody forever)

                                  Software. This is the reason im not just disappointed but actively angry at this phone and at OnePlus, Each android update made it worse and worse, buggy and buggier. Android 12 was the breaking point where i wanted to ditch it, gmail, banking app, text messages all stopped sending me notifications, the amount of emails i missed because of this damned update. The shelf function also got worse and worse each update, a lot of the time it would just remove widgets like my calendar.

                                  This phone made me dislike OnePlus, a phone brand i have loved so far. I wont be buying from them again any time soon. I am really going to miss the alert slider and the old light weight OxygenOS.

                                      Do not buy this brand of @#$%, they are the last to update them after one spends so much money on it, in my experience it is not worth it.

                                        Worst budget phone I've ever owned! Camera quality is poor but worst is the Bluetooth, so weak that audio devices even at arm length don't work well. Operating system is very slow switching on and off although runs moderately well for social medias. WiFi calling doesn't work properly.
