[@corplftw]

kinda hard decision to make as I plan to upgrade from my Oneplus 5T, I know that I don't need the top-performing phone as I don't play mobile games very often but the features I need are mostly on found on the flagship ones (Oneplus 8T or 9) but I'm hesitant to spend that about of cash again like what I did buying the 5T at launch. the trying to consider buying the Nord 2 line but I am not sure about its mediatek chipset after 1 to 2 years comparing to the SD888

[@hmmm5300]

Just 2 weeks after I got my Mi 11 Lite LTE to replace my 3.5 yo Nokia 8 :/ It seems like a nice package. The Mi 11 is doing great, the better camera and chipset of the Nord 2 aren't what I'm after. It's Oxygen OS. I'm not an AOSP elitist and I actually like many aspects of MIUI but man does it feel half-baked :c

From where did you get that pricing?

[@saisiddardha4033]

first of all forget about the one plus 6gb varient as they have planned it to launch in october and will be sold in seconds. So One plus starts at 30k and realme at 23.5k . if you are looking for more value for the money spent then go for Realme x7 max and I sugguest you to buy oneplus only if you are fan. when it comes to performance realme x7 and oneplus nord both have the same processors but if you look at the benchmarks the realme's scores are high compared to the nord and the nord's camera is better than the realme's .If you are looking for a mobile with great processor and a pretty good camera arround 30k then I suggest you iqoo7.

I dumped iPhones for OnePlus 3 and 6T. Each was great for two years. The OnePlus 9 is a hot mess I was forced to unload in just 3 months. The phone is unusable in summer or warmer climates, has to be turned off outside. If this Nord runs cooler and within more appropriate parameters there should be a recall of the 9s and this phone should be offered instead. Unfortunately I had to give up on these clowns altogether when they secretly throttled the 9 instead of admitting it was a piece of shit. My Mi 11 Lite is all I need and it was only $319.
