My last one was 10 pro and battery is essentially dead after 2.5 years of usage. [...] Case is made of some really good material, which feels very premium, but runs son fckn hot that you can't hold it in your hands anymore, this is especially true during hot summers, and it got only worse with the last major OS update. This is a heat dissipation issue caused by the materials used, large battery, and hi performance CPU cores so I don't think my case was any special than the others. I see that the OnePlus 15 follows the same route, and although it has good reviews, and they claim they solved the battery heat dissipation and detoriation issues with some new kind of cells, it seems that it still runs hot according to some reviews I've seen on the yt. Before that I had OnePlus 7 and more budget friendly Nord, and they were much better than 10 Pro, although 7 shared similar type of issues as 10 Pro. Nord is a bit different because case is not premium, and the battery is not so large, and the CPU is not premium nor the supercharging as well. However, it doesn't run hot and battery after few years of usage is still able to give you a full day without the problem. I'm pretty convinced that all their flagships with hi performance CPUs, premium case, large battery, and fast charging suffer from the same issues. [...]
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)
The OnePlus Nord 5 is flipping the script on selfie cameras with an impressive 50MP front sensor — yes, the SAME tech you usually find on rear cams! 🙌 Expect sharper group selfies & stunning 4K@60fps videos. I got the exclusive scoop here: www.trustedreviews.com/news/exclusi...

[...] But the main issue with Android is that their mid/low end (think the Samsung Galaxy A series, the OnePlus Nords, the Motorola Gs etc.) are very inefficient when it comes to single core compute performance compared to iPhones, and it gets worse once you factor in power efficiency. The high end Android flagships running the Snapdragons elites (especially post Oryon acquisition) have no problems matching if not exceeding Apple hardware performance in terms of raw power but they are much more power hungry. [...] Maybe in another year or two once RAM prices have fallen enough and mobile manufacturers build a lot more matmul and memory circuits into their SoCs instead of a tiny mostly useless "NPU/tensor processor" that doesn't have enough RAM to run anything useful. [...] If you want a good example of production mobile ML, take a look at FUTO keyboard's transformer model for their keystroke prediction/autocorrect which operates in near real-time. I would say right now 100M-300M params is about the maximum you can do if you want any reasonable level of performance on your "ave
Hey, im a nord user... 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. [...] Help the nord users soon otherwise OnePlus get the very big loss in terms of loosing customers.... [...]
[...] so the nord (and all the other chinese brands) with their 8MP garbage is a no deal for me. samsung are the only ones who build in 12MP ultrawides in midrangers under 500 bucks. [...] better qualitiy display, better battery sd card, headphone jack - better choice.
Recently upgraded to a Pixel 8 from a different aarch64 phone (OnePlus Nord N100) and discovered that I can't run 32-bit apps anymore :(
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?
I have read various comments about AUTOMATIC FACTORY RESET of Oneplus Nord. Why is this happening? Any fix to it available yet?
My one plus Nord says... Be an idiot and buy overpriced childish phones..
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
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?
[...] No, my nord isn't charging faster while using it 3. You should talk more about camera in a review
It’s not about hard/easy, it’s the supported devices. I spend very little on phones (current one is a OnePlus Nord, which I bought for 250€) as I don’t like to use them.
[...] You mean like when the US (plus allies) sabotaged the Nord Stream pipeline? [...]
I see it as obvious that the Nord Stream pipeline was not blown up without US permission at the very least. (And the media's insistence that it was probably Russia which blew up their own pipeline convinced me beyond doubt that they see loyalty to the war effort as trumping any obligation to the truth). Of course there are going to be sabotage actions the other way too.
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.
[...] The US was against the Nord Stream from the beginning because we felt it could deepen ties between Germany and Russia, unilaterally sanctioned companies involved in it, and of course Biden publicly alluded to threats of blowing it up: "If Russia invades ... then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. [...]
[...] 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. [...]
What music player you are using? I just had my oneplus nord and i just found out ghst that they dont have their own music player app. Thanks
