I barely found negative impressions from users of this phone, mostly very positive minus bugs (but that's One plus). Only contender against this phone is A52S. Whatever you take, you will not regret, best to see live both phones and decide (I personally chose A52s). Cannot compare any Xiaomi in this price/hardware range with this phone (or A52), because they have so much problems with hardware and software. Yes, I know you're happy with your Xiaomi, I just didn't want to play roullete or card what will be wrong with phone and let be realistic - quality went down with so many different hardware in one phone, many phone models released and software which is just getting worse and worse.

USB also disconnecting after several minutes In the car using Auto Android with navigation. Then it switch to bluetooth and does not reconnect to USB. Very frustrating when the navigation dissapaer. OnePlus does nothing with the issue.

Most of the time spent on a smartphone is just scrolling. If the device supports, then high refresh rate gaming is also another exciting possibility. So it's not a gimmick.

My OnePlus Nord 2 often looses access to camera while calling. So I can't place a video call for long or sometimes not at all. After doing all the troubleshooting as directed by the OnePlus experts the problem is still there.

Is there really so much difference between 120Hz and 90Hz or even 60Hz refresh rate? Considering the fact that most of the video content is at 30fps to 60fps high refresh rate displays are just a gimmick. Funny how people say they can see display flickering at 60Hz. Do you see your home lights flicker at 50 or 60Hz as well?

I bought a Nord 2 so I might just share my experience -
1.the amoled screen is nice and bright enough that you won't have any problem regarding brightness but it should have been 120hz as it's competitors have 120 hz but you won't really feel that much of a difference in normal day to day usage and the phone feels really smooth even with a 90hz display.
2.speakers are pretty good,not flagship level but far better than mid range phones.
3.UI- I'm someone who came from miui so this new oxygen+coloros felt pretty good as it had 0 bloatware and worked without any lags or bugs (atleast for me ) when I'm doing normal day to day stuff like calling, whatsapp,web browsing,Camera,YouTube and some other stuff.
4.the main camera sensor is pretty good imo during day and a complete unrivaled beast in mid range category in night performance and ois makes a huge difference in camera and video performance which many mid range phones don't have and the ultrawide is just average or probably below average it will just do the job can't tell much about front camera as I don't really use it that much but from what I have seen it looks pretty good.
5.the processor is dimensity 1200 which is better than a sd 860 and pretty similar to sd 870 but games are more optimised for snapdragon processors but I doesn't really matter as all the games and apps that I used ran pretty smooth and great without any problems and I don't think I would be having any problem using this phone for upto 4 years .
6.the build quality is pretty good
7.the best part about the phone imo is the battery and the charging speed due to which I haven't worried about battery running out ever since I bought the phone I easily get 7hrs+ screen on time because I keep always in display off and all the notifications are turned off too and I have gotten as high as 10hrs from this phone and the cherry on the top is the 65w fast charging and it's is just too damn fast like I just got to pee and my phone gets 2-3 hours of screen on time in just a few minutes.
P.s -the physical slider is just really really helpful and convenient and more companies should provide a physical slider.

So my point was that, even if such a thing only happens a few times in several thousands, it still poses as a big safety risk and can end up in a fatal accident. So it is absolutely essential that such a thing does not happen at all, rather than it getting ignored for being a very tiny number in entire population

"I have Poco F3 and it has bugs in MIUI, some apps, proximity sensor is horible, occasional battery drain, etc. Nord 2 can't be worse than that"
Certainly didn't sound like you have Nord 2 when you made that comment. Suddenly, after a few hours you got a Nord 2 too? Wow, how convenient! I think you better heed your own advice about "don't give a **** of fanboy" and stop being a fanboy yourself.

Compared to F3, looks & feels like flagship. And camera is far better, almost on par with S21.
I don't give a **** about fanboys' rant about Oxygen/Color/Realme UI, there are zero issues in UI or apps and it's nice and simple, yet full of options/customizations.

Until now there are 6 cases and all cases are isolated to Indian (why India ?) market from probably many many millions of sold NOr 2 phones all around world.

Just wait till a phone explodes in your pocket. Perhaps then you will understand what it is like. Go ask the person who got hurt in one of such incidents. Just because that number is "only 2 or 3" in several thousands doesn't mean it's okay and acceptable
Either first get an education or refrain from posting comments which you feel make you look "COOL'.

Ann, 01 Feb 2022Lol!!

During the day, it's less of a delta with competing devices at around the same price. It produces nice images, but the random oversharpening tendency is a bit baffling, while shots that would benefit from a good HDR algorithm are always slightly disappointing."
In case you didn't read this conclusion in the Camera section, the Nord 2 is above average in night mode only. Daytime photos are unreliable due to random processing and oversharpening. Overall, it is not much better than other phones in the same segment despite the Nord 2 boasting better camera hardware.
