[...] i have been thinking about getting a pinephone (with a keyboard) but that would have been twice my budget, and after i saw a friend with that having trouble getting the keyboard working, i passed on it. before i had a fairphone 3, which i had received as a gift, but its performance was worse than the $150 phone i had before that. now however i got a very good deal (slightly over my budget) on a refurbished 3 year old oneplus nord that new would have cost $400. [...] not only is it much faster, the battery lasts longer too. i can now understand why people like to spend money on a high end phone. [...] i even got a second hand openmoko very cheap because the owner was unsatisfied with it. [...] there should be software that is snapping fast even on these phones. [...]
[...] Here and there i can play some but its not like i would have 20 games on my phone. Battery is great too, i mean for me. [...] One time i didnt charge it for 3 day straight. Cameras are great for the price. Only the macro camera is the trash so it would just stay there and you would use main camera for the stuff you would normaly use the macro camera. [...] But the other cameras are good. [...] Wait for the oneplus Nord 2 because it have a little better camera and the procesor. Its not that much but to get a better for the same price, why not😀
I shatter the screen on my phone...which wasn't exactly a great phone to begin with, but was good enough for me. (Free OnePlus Nord N10). [...]
This is the worst Oneplus phone I have ever used, camera lags a lot, previously I was using Nord 2, it was a much better phone. [...] Unintentional pressing keep changing my sound profile.
[...] ...I have been facing a Bluetooth issue since buying the phone even after all updates (10.5.8 version currently). Whenever I am connected to 2.4 GHz wifi and try using my Bluetooth earphones and switch between some apps or try making a voice call, bluetooth earphones keep disconnecting every 2 mins. Can you please confirm if this is an issue you are facing too or is it only my unit which is faulty ? [...]

[...] I've purchased the device just 5 days before, and just a day after purchasing I've updated the device.

I have had it for a few weeks now and can confirm it is amazing and the blue really does lift your mood when you look at it. I couldn't recommend a better phone under 500 dollars/pounds and it is only £379.99 for the base which I have which is great and it is a battery king, 50 minutes charge can get 1-2 days of charge with 90hz screen on and mid-high brightness and is easy to use indoors and outdoors and the camera is adequate but be ware that the macro and depth censor is just rubbish and a marketing trick, but it does make the phone look better opposed to if it only had 2 on the back. It is also great to see the £50 fast charger coming in the box.
I don't have pink tint issue but had a slight green tint issue. But after 10.5.7 update there was battery draining issue, pink tint issue which i did not have before update.the green tint which i had slightly are now worse.it's like after 10.5.7 update the device is worse. I got new issue after the update
Watching this on my Nord 5. I’ve been using it for around 1 year and 2 months since I bought it at launch.
after 5 years my phone case has broken and there's no longer any clear backed cases available for my OnePlus Nord. Phone is still perfect for my needs I'm just going to have to buy a regular solid coloured case and get out my paint markers :3
I got a OnePlus Nord Something-or-other three ago and it's held up great. Battery still lasts two days on a charge. At the time, it was one the only phones with a headphone jack, but I don't know if they still have them.
I'm using a 5 year old OnePlus Nord that needs to be replaced and all of a sudden I see I have no options but Samsung, Motorola and Google. Not sure what I'll do. Does Asus still make a phone?
Hiii So I made a oopsie and accidentally cracked my Oneplus 5T Phone, think I've had it for like close to 5+ years now so I think this may call for a upgrade? Its a bit minor ik but the 5Ts going to turn into a OnePlus Nord
yeah, i'd like to know that too. i have a oneplus nord running /e/OS and i am quite happy with it. in fact it's probably the best phone i had so far performance wise (i got it refurbished at a very good price which may have something to do with that though)
[...] I settled on the Oneplus Nord N10 5G so I searched Gumtree. Nord N10 5G: is changed to: road nw10 5g, WTF oneplus Nord N10 5G: is changed to: oneplus nord 110 5g, WTF It didnt search for my phone, it just changed what i typed. [...]
I read it on my OnePlus Nord using Firefox with an adblocker. I experienced none of what you did. Maybe you should try a decent browser on a decent phone.
[...] Edit: I have a OnePlus nord n30 5G that released with Android 13. [...]
bro i have that same phone as my secondary device and i use the same light blue silicon case. my only problem is that the updates for this device feel like oneplus has been ignoring it.
I got amoled screen burn issue image double prints inside display like image retention in my oneplus nord 5 12 256 I don't even play games so I got display changed in warranty
My phone's battery isn't lasting long anymore so I'm looking up new ones What in the world is OnePlus Nord? Xiaomi T? Nothing A?

i pee on "amazing camera" this phone have front and back camera? yes ok,camera is good
Oxygen Os is Overrated. If you really want stock android go for Pixel. This phone is overrated. Nothing spectacular with this phone to be honest. I had this and cant say anything good about this device.
With exchange offer i got this phone for around $320 and for that price this phone is definitely a steal
My one plus Nord says... Be an idiot and buy overpriced childish phones..
The camera on Oneplus phones are usually their main weakness, especially for the Nord. But I don't mind it because if the excellent OS. I'm happy using the Nord.
I have read various comments about AUTOMATIC FACTORY RESET of Oneplus Nord. Why is this happening? Any fix to it available yet?

I updated to the latest 10.5.7 and still the disconnection issue is persisting.is there any fix? This happens only over Wi-Fi @2.4ghz Anyone having this problem or Solution to this problem feel free to reply
I don't know why oneplus didnt had their own phone dialer and messaging app..
[...] It is showing error and display blinks at that time. [...]
I'm getting battery drain issue I think.. overnight it takes 10% but usual use is not as draining..

I am still facing disconnection issues while using my one plus wireless Z
I have one issue with my OnePlus Nord 5. The battery consistently drops quickly at certain levels—for example, it jumps from 73% to 70% and from 37% to 35% every time. [...]
I wish it had just 2 good cameras. One in front and one in the back.
I am facing some network connectivity issues with this device....i got the OnePlus nord in the first sale itself...and this phone is a beast but it has some network connectivity issues....if someone has any idea about it please help
I don't think I understand what allowed means in this context because on my OnePlus Nord phone, I have an app called GPS Test which shows me that I have so many GPS, so many GLONASS, and so many Galileo in view. That app may simply be reporting the presence of signals, but the geolocation functions and APIs may not actually use those signals in their calculations. And if they are actually processing the signals, then they are breaking FCC regulations: Legally they could get their FCC certification pulled and not be allowed to be sold in the US if they are doing that.
I don't think I understand what allowed means in this context because on my OnePlus Nord phone, I have an app called GPS Test which shows me that I have so many GPS, so many GLONASS, and so many Galileo in view. Strange thing is there is no Chinese GNSS in view. (I was on a short trip to Bali recently and iirc I did see Chinese GNSS on the app while there so I think the app and phone hardware is capable of picking up Chinese GNSS?).
i am using beta update in nord so how i will get stable ota update
