Omission of absence of gorilla glass or any other toughened glass shows the bias of this review. I had almost purchased this phone not knowing this, but had to postpone the purchase because of some problems. Luckily i found one unbiased reviewer mention it. I still cant believe how can such a basic thing be absent from a decent midrange phone and how do many "reviewers" are hiding it.

    I don't think poco optimise it well for there phones and there updates are slow as hell to come out.

      I would even throw the mi 11 lite 5g into the mix as an alternative phone to the nord.

            Wish I had waited for this before buying a Poco X3 , what a pile crap MUI is. Have never used any OS so unfinished and buggy.

              Why this phone lost hdr10+ please tell me

                Poor camera performance, no OIS, year old chip, no gorilla glass, no stereo speakers, no HDR10 (this is a *big* deal), lazy design iteration, zero innovation, chunky bottom bezel, misplaced and oversized camera punch hole... The list goes on. Oh, and of course no alert slider so it's not a OnePlus at all, but a lazily rebadged Oppo.

                Overpriced. Lazy. And definitely does not do justice to the OnePlus legacy.

                  At some time even entry level phone used to come with metal unibody and now we are getting plastic phone from entry level to flagship ☹️☹️

                    Not a good VFM phone in India...
                    Similarly priced as global variant.. For specs in India could be priced lower...

                    Should have been removed 5G tag!!!

The competition might feel better sure but at least OxygenOS has no ads in their apps, no bloatware. It's just way better software wise compared to Xiaomi and Samsung.

                          Poco F3 is what you want, you don't want this over an F3 trust me.

                            Mad to buy this over an Poco F3

                              I cannot begin to conceive how this phone merits anything more than 3*** at the price being asked. Or how it manages to get a recommendation vs any of the competition. At say €239 (-69 from list price) it might be worth a look, but even then it's still outpaced by most competitors.

                              Poor camera performance, year old chip, no stereo speakers, no HDR10 (this is a *big* deal), lazy design iteration, zero innovation, chunky bottom bezel, misplaced and oversized camera punch hole... The list goes on. Oh, and of course no alert slider so it's not a OnePlus at all, but a lazily rebadged Oppo. Sure battery life is fairly good, but in real world usage not a difference most people would notice vs its many competitors.

                              Overpriced. Lazy. And definitely does not do justice to the OnePlus legacy.

                                  The display on this phone is very much much worse than the display on the poco f3 or the redmi note 10 pro, they are uncomparable

                                    If you are looking for camera OnePlus is never a competitive

                                      Mario, 14 Jun 2021And no one words about screen protection in review. Is that... moreThat's the surprise in name of cutting down they didnt provide gorilla glass protection plus its plastic body
                                      Most of the Tech influencers are not covering or trying to avoid these 2 points. The one who talked are not getting the mobile for review so you can imagine who it works..
