Editor Rating
3.8/5

As the name suggests, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G is the second-generation entry-level smart device launched by the popular Chinese brand, bringing affordable 5G connectivity to a more budget-conscious audience. The device features a similar design as the previous model but is more refined, thanks to the premium glass back panel that retains the frosted matte finish that is starting to become a signature of the brand. You also get a major upgrade in terms of performance, thanks to a new Dimensity 1200 processor, which can be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Bottom Line

OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a great mid-range smartphone that is available at an affordable price but still delivers a lot of value when it comes to raw performance, software optimization, and image quality. The only real downgrade is the lack of any wireless charging capabilities.
