What owners report

  • “[...] 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've purchased the device just 5 days before, and just a day after purchasing I've updated the device. And the update was near around 1.5 gb total and a day after updating the device, the device get's on factory reset by itself in pocket without my permission and while screen is aslo secured with password.
