OnePlus Nord 2T 5G (UK) - 8GB RAM 128GB SIM Free Smartphone with 50MP AI Triple Camera and 80W SUPERVOOC Fast Charging - 2 Year Warranty - Grey Shadow

Bought this to tide me over till the end of the year when I'm out of contract and can upgrade to a newer flagship, was at the end of my tether with my old phone. Pros - Great Camera, on par with many flagships I've used in the past. Excellent low light and HDR performance. Average 4k video recording but good full hd. Great system performance, no lag, no heat and very quick. Amazing charging speed, literally increases a percentage every 15 seconds on the vooc charger. Good screen, not the brightest or highest refreshrate, but very high quality 90hz FHD Ram Boost, can use some storage to boost the ram from 8gb to 13gb if you want Great front facing camera. Excellent 'all day' battery life, getting about 6 hours Screen on time over 15 hours use. Rarely have to charge in the day. Cons - Some bugs which I'm sure OnePlus will fix, but they are quite annoying, for example, sometimes the phone cannot pick up any 4g/5g data, you have to manually turn off the data and back on. Also when in a low light environment the selfie cam seems to always default to light up the screen mode, even if you turn it off. Also sometimes the bluetooth disconnects from my car and needs manually reconnecting. Not major issues but hopefully they are ironed out as it's a fantastic phone.

Lets put this into context, I have been part of Samsung's universe since 2016 and in truth it was great, software was smooth, the experience was easy and the phones were all really solid and reliable. So when I was called in to handover my A52 to my son who was limping along with an older Samsung I straightaway went to look for another Samsung but in truth I was only willing to spend circa £400 for an upgrade and the A53 was just like buying the same phone as the A52 so I bravely looked afield and trawled the internet for reviews like a sad sack. Anyway I found that a very trustworthy brit YouTube channel regarded the Nord 2T very highlight I with much trepidation grabbed one from Amazon. Right well it arrived and the finish is superb, an all glass phone (GG5 no less) that has a better camera than the A52 and is pretty seamless to use, in fact it is lightening quick. Superb to use, no lag and very smooth. The handset is still 2020's large but it is both shorter and shallower than the A52 and easy to hold, I can even get it in a pocket. The face recognition is lightening quick, (be careful tho, security is compromised) and the OS is really slick... HOWEVER the OS in my honest view is not quite as smooth as Samsung's, it feels a bit pared back which i guess allows things to move much more quickly combined with a really strong processor so my mate at YouTube seems to say. I have to admit there are bits of the OS that just feel nicer with Samsung but comparing between the brands, this Oxygen OS thingy is just so very quick and like a Pixel so I am told. Fingerprint is miles better than the Samsung I had and I love having a physical switch to turn of notifications, I would have to recommend that you get a case and a screen protector as it will no doubt crack without one. Saying that the range of cases is not great, the Spigen one recommended was poor so I found a nice one from OnePlus themselves which fits perfectly and keeps things small but protected. Look its great, I really am impressed as i came into the Nord 2T with lower expectation but its such a nice phone with a really zippy OS and a great look and feel to the handset that I have to say this was a good move. Usually keep phones for 1 or 2 years so lets see how things go...

Nice little phone for the black Friday price. Wouldn't pay full price for it. No mem card slot but can upload using usb storage. No macra camera which ud expect. Over all quite impressed. Compared to my p30 pro that I've had 3 yrs, I'm happy with it as a 2nd phone. What I've used of the camera I'm really impressed with the quality of the 10x zoom. Nice and crisp image. Yet to use it outside but all looks good using it at home. Finger print reader seems OK even with my dry cracked hands, face regognition is OK, bit annoying that u have to scroll screen up to unlock. Doesn't just open when I look at it like my Huawei. But does prevent it unlocking every time a car comes towards me at night when my phones in its holder. If ur looking for a nice phone that does pretty much anything I'd deffo buy it at the reduced price

My Moto 6 has been on it's last legs a while so I finally made a decision to go with the Nord 2T. I had admired the Nord 2 which my son had so this was an easy decision to go for this later, upgraded but slightly cheaper edition. I have to say I am really impressed with this phone. Screen resolution is great, it is very fast and responsive and the UI is simple and intuitive. The battery life is really good but even better it charges up so quickly on the 80w charger. I will charge it for 30 minutes and it last a day! The camera is good too. Overall: I highly recommend this phone. The positive reviews are well justified. It is a good value mid range work horse. If like me you are reluctant to make a decision on your new phone (there's always the promise of a new model next month!), then I say go for this, you won't be disappointed.

Acquired this item just after new years during a sale and when the product was much lower in value. The base model was £298 to £320, with the option of the ear buds bundle i acquired it for £347. Which for a mid range phone is absolute bang for value. But the phone is currently at £400+ which seems to be stretching it. at that point you may as well opt for a "Google Pixel 6A" which is ranked as the best value for a mid range phone. But Enough of the value for quality and performance. Does it preform well.... Yes! Bellow i will list everything great about the phone. - The Nord 2T sports a hefty quad core mediatek dimensity 1300 CPU, With an ARM Mali-G77 MC9 GPU. You will always find the phone responsive in every circumstances, Offers above average performance when gaming however might have issues on certain open world games. - The Nord 2T Sports a brilliant 8GB of ram for a mid range phone with an option to expand memory capacity by an additional 2-3-5GB within the operation system itself. This converts 2-3-5GB from your internal storage capacity to be used as RAM for the phone to take advantage of. For those of you that are a serious hoarder of apps being on in the background. this is a dream feature for a mid range phone! - Fingerprint scanner allows you to save multiple fingerprints if you like unlocking your phone with different fingers. - SUPERCHARGING.... im not joking here when i say that this phone can charge dam quick which is great and concerning at the same time. For a battery perspective charging this quick is concerning as it will degrade the battery incredibly quickly. But on the other hand it means if you need the phone charged in a flash it will fully charge a dead phone from 0 to 100% in under 30mins. in order to preserve battery life if you do decide to acquire this phone i would recommend at every step to enable all charging features so as it does not degrade the battery as quickly. - Camera quality is top note. offers ultra wide photography as well as probably one of the best low light/night time video recording and photo taking processing. Doesn't oversaturate it as much as you would think but proves that in low light conditions its brilliant. My overall recommendation is if you can grab this bellow £360. its 100% one the money, anything more youre looking at compromising value for money which there is far greater options available bellow the current price point of the phone which is at £403, But this is just my advise. But at current value i dont see why it would be worth it considering the One Plus Nord 10t just launched and is sitting at £463, which provides far superior processing, and GPU capabilities ontop of a better battery and the same expandability with your RAM, Youre looking at an average 34% increase in performance for an additional £60

I've had a OnePlus 7T since 2019 and it was time for an upgrade as I wanted 5G and the fast charging appealed. The OnePlus 7T was a £500+ spend but I couldn't justify that this time so I opted for the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G as it got great reviews. I'm not disappointed - it's really fast and the Oxygen/Android 12 combo works really well on the 2T, it's smooth and responsive. I don't play games on my phone so I can't rate it for gaming but for regular heavy day to day use -Youtube, Social Media, scrolling it's fantastic. Plus it really does charge the battery from 0 to 99% in about 30 minutes! The screen is lovely and the build quality is really good. I wasn't totally sure of the green at first but I like it now. Very pleased and I definitely recommend this phone.

I've had the phone a few days now and here are my first impressions. As a videographer and occasional photographer I value certain things in my phone and whilst this handset is by no means the creme de la creme of smartphones but I think it deserves a lot of praise for what it does well. These days I'm not able to afford the flagships with their top end camera systems, but this is one of those handsets that makes you ask if you really need to anymore. The last "flagship I used was the Huawei P20 Pro. In fact I'm going to be mentally comparing quality of that handset to the main camera here in the Nord 2T. The other 2 lenses are poor and there to make up numbers, but a few years ago even our flagships packed one good camera and we were mostly happy. Today it's surprising how good phones are at capturing sharp video and images. The lightness of this handset is appreciated and there are times when it's simply not convenient to use a dedicated camcorder or my old DSLR (I'm yet to justify the jump to a superior mirrorless system). Comparing my old P20 Pro, a phone lauded for it's cameras in 2018, I have to say I'm really impressed. Autofocus on the Nord 2T is sharp, fast and accurate, the p20 would seratch for focus as soon as there was lots of movement in the frame when videoing, resulting in lots of out of focus, unuseable footage. Details are good and low light performance seems bettrr in my limited testing. Yes, there are better cameras, but for the price, this is a great little handset. I'd personally like more controls, the ability to disable OIS when my phone is mounted on my gimbal, but this phone shoots way better video than my older P20 Pro, a weakness of that handset. Still Images seem sharp, maybe overshsrpened, detailed but over processed as is the norm for Chinese phones who seem to prefer images that pop over those more natural. I quite like the look though. Low light performance of the main 50MP camera is strong for the price and better than my older handset. At 50MP, a 2x digital zoom (crop) is still a decent image and surprisingly usable . I don't zoom my images normally, preferring to crop in post, but I'd have no qualms here shooting at 2x for online use as images are detailed and sharp. The pnone itself is really nice to use. Yes, I'd prefer a more stock android as certain changes the OxygenOS 12 has made are not as good as the original Google implementation. Settings menus especially are overcomplicated and certain elements of the Material You design language does appear lost in this and every other Chinese translation I've seen. That said, I'm used to Chinese UIs by now and they tend to add lots, even if the first thing I do is put either Nova or Lawnchair launcher on them for a more stock skin. What I don't like is the default to the iPhone style home screens. We Android users like our app drawer, we don't want the chaos of multiple homescreens of randomly placed icons greeting us after a backup from our accounts onto our new handset. It takes time to clean up this mess but once done, this, is as simple to use as any other in day to day usage. The interface is snappy, the battery simply good, not amazing. It'll easily last most users a full 24 hours and when it doesn't, charging on the boxed 80w charger is simply lightning. 0% to full in about 30 mins. It doesn't get too hot, I've had no real hiccups in my first few days with it. The odd stutter but generally, apps load quicklyand everything seems as fast as any top end phone I remember using. The handset design is a mixed bag There is something a little disconcerting about the cross eyed, off centre camera alignment, the design itself possible works, though the camera bump is pretty massive and you certainly can't lay this thing at all flat until you put it in the supplied case and even then it isn't flat, but I like aspects of the design. The shadow grey frosted glass back may not pick up fingerprints, but it's a slippery and whilst feeling quality I don't think I'll be pulling this out to look at it as I did with the P20 Pro or even my old Oppo Find x2 Neo I used as my daily handset until recently. It's not the most attractive handset I've owned in all honesty but I bought this for function over form and it feels sturdy and premium, works well and was a great price. The biggest area where I am not impressed is the quality of the built in stereo speakers. With bluetooth 5.2 and aptX I'm unlikely to have to worry too much but I was disappointed in all honesty as these were a step back not only on the previous Huawei Handsets I'd owned (Mate 9 was brilliant), but worse than the Find X2 Neo which I loved (except for it's mediocre camera performance).. If you need to use them they are there, but they're pretty terrible, bassless and prone to distort at high volumes when playing music. Watching streaming services they sounded better, but they're lacklustre at best and when pushed sound exactly like the cost cutting, cheaply made speakers they are. Brightness of the screen is the only other criticism. I'm yet to use it on a bright sunny day, but outdoors it's not the brightest. I do hope I don't regret this when filming my partners American football practices on sunny days but it's just not very bright. Everything else, indoors I'm happy with the HDR 10+ screen. It's everything you expect from an AMOLED screen and the 90Hz makes the android experience smoother, I just wish it got brighter outdoors. To conclude, the Oneplus Nord 2T is a good handset for the money. Its not going to win prizes in a beauty contest and isn't flawless but you can't expect flawless in the midrange. It's got a good main camera (I didn't review the other 2 lenses as they are pretty pointless) and everything else is as good as it should be with the odd niggle, but overall this handset is a rapid little performer than makes using it a breeze and a pleasure.

I got this for £317 which I think was good vaIue. I chose this as its obvious competitors had deficiencies which were a problem for me: Nothing Phone - poor battery life Galaxy A54 - No esim, higher price £450 Pixel 6a - Small screen, handicapped compared to other Pixels The Oneplus does everything well and a lot faster than my Honor 8x. Camera seems a lot better. I am not sure there is much that I am missing compared to the flagship phones. I don't see you can far wrong with the Oneplus or the money. Ideally, I would like a bigger screen and waterproofing but this is not really available at this price point all things being equal.
