I have been using it personally since its launch. I would definitely say that if you don't really mind not having a camera-centered phone, it's a great smartphone that includes the aesthetic of a premium metal phone with an above average performance for it's price. Nothing 2a is a great alternative but it runs on mediatek which is decent but in my opinion , in terms of a great look and performance, these two phones are on the league of the new mid range flagships of this age. I also believe that since Snapdragon 7 plus 3 is a new processor, we can expect future updates to optimise it further.

Is the camera really bad?
@drownedsoulinbound22862 ай бұрын
@@AryanBisht-bv6xx Its decent. I don't personally use it much for camera at all. The main camera is really natural toned and the macro is good. Selfie is as good as what you could expect from any 16 mp phone but if you only want it for camera there are other options and even nothing 2a is not as good for camera either. This is a perfectly balanced phone with high performance great sound and insane haptics so it's upto you if you want something for brand and quality, one plus and nothing would be great or else realme or a Samsung A series would be better for camera centred device. Then again for Samsung you sacrifice performance and Realme has a less brand value and misses out on the premium side of BBK phones.

@@drownedsoulinbound2286 I wouldn't call Samsung A-series camera centred phones. Cameras are ok e.g. in A55, but I'd say Nord 4 can compete with those easily. Sure, Nord 4's ultrawide might not be the best in midrange (maybe not even close), but it works just fine for casual wide angle shots.

I have mine for 2 days now and am really impressed. It's my first Oneplus and I love their OS and features. Charging is mind-blowingly darn fast and the battery does a good job. I had to check and renew all the settings etc and used it several hours intensively. You easily come through the day. For ME PERSONALLY the camera is good enough for that price point. Ofc it's a bit blurry sometimes especially on zooming but it's (if you don't zoom TOO much) pretty nicely detailed. Haptics are awesome. One thing I miss from my Poco X3 Pro is the fingerprint sensor on the Power button or like on the back as my BQ Aquaris had it. But I hope I get used to it. Overall 8/10 for me and the best at this price point (a bit over 500€ bought directly at Oneplus with some sales)

Alternatively, if you have a bit more money, a flip phone like the Motorola Razr Plus 2024 (Razr 50 Ultra outside America) folds up small, but opens up big.
