Title: Verdict after 4 months: Affordable, reliable, and easy to use.
Review: I bought this phone in August and have been using it daily for 4 months now.In short, the Nord N30 5G meets all of my needs, and I’m very impressed with the quality.I chose this phone after reading reviews on a tech blog website, comparing phones from OnePlus and various other brands. My two biggest criteria were: 1. Low cost, and 2. Long battery life. I don’t care much about high camera quality or screen quality, or running high-spec games. I really just needed a phone that could handle running important apps like GPS/navigation, phone calling, and internet browsing for a long time during a long workday — without overheating or draining the whole battery quickly. I just had way less stress all around with this new phone when using it for work or leisure.Positives:Everything positive I read online was indeed true. The CPU chip seems good — The apps I use the most load quickly, and don’t cause each other to crash when running at the same time. This is especially important when you must use bloated or optimized apps. The overall battery life is huge, and the battery recharges VERY quickly with the high-speed red cable. There’s a lot of internal storage by default, so I won’t have to worry about external memory for a while. The screen seems bright enough and high-resolution enough for me. When I use the camera, the pictures usually come out clear despite unsteady hands. Sound quality is great. User controls make sense, though I had to get used to a few new swipe motions. It’s working just fine on my local Verizon network. Physical buttons for power and volume, wired headphones port.Concerns:This phone is heavier than any of my previous phones, so that takes some getting used to. There are various system options for changing how notifications and notification sounds work for the whole system or for individual apps, but the sub-menus all look similar and I have difficulty understanding which settings are taking priority. Finally, the physical volume and power buttons are positioned perfectly across from each other so you can click them to take a photo or screenshot — however, this means it’s very easy to accidentally do that when just trying to pick the phone up or pull it out of your pocket.In conclusion, I highly recommend this phone if you need a new work phone and you’re trying to make ends meet.

Title: I really love this phone
Review: I’m done with overpriced “flagship” phones by Samsung and Pixel and their planned obsolescence issues. I’ve been using smartphones since 2012 and they used to easily last me 3 to 5 years – like they’d have to physically break or drown in the toilet to stop working entirely. Now I’m lucky if their phones don’t completely brick in less than 2 years from some ridiculous, super common problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place. How do you get *worse* at making hella expensive phones? /rantI did a ton of research on this phone, and the brand in general, so after my most recent Pixel (I still haven’t forgiven them for that camera “update”) died, I ordered this phone. This is my first experience owning a OnePlus phone and it’s absolutely lovely.It’s sleek, it comes with a scratch resistant screen protector already applied, and it’s unlocked so I was able to just put my SIM card in the slot and go (and it has a 2nd SIM card slot).The camera is noticeably better than the last several phones I’ve owned, but I’ve read that some people aren’t happy with it. It’s 5,000% better than my most recent phone, but YMMV.The phone’s user interface is simple, functional, and intuitive. It’s an android phone so if you’ve ever owned one, you’ll acclimate to this phone quickly. If you’re picky about your phone experience, you can always install a launcher and icon pack that you prefer. It’s also compatible with Gboard.I have small girl hands but this phone has not been overly difficult for me to use after I put a pop socket on the back. It’s about the same size as an older Samsung Note, like the S8, but lighter and slimmer.Overall, I am very happy with this phone. I’m glad I finally took the plunge and bought it. The one thing I’m concerned about is a lack of regular future android updates. So is it the greatest phone of all time? Probably not, but it’s awesome and much cheaper than the ones I wasted so much money on over the years.

Review: Schwer enttäuscht. Dieses Gerät ist extrem fragil und ist nach einem einzigen Sturz aus Kniehöhe, sitzend auf einem Bahnsteig restlos kaputt gegangen. Ich habe es kaum einen Monat besessen. Der Reparaturservice konnte es auch nicht wiederherstellen. Nicht nur die Batterie, auch die Hauptplatine ist bei dem Sturz aus 50cm komplett kaputt gegangen.Ersatzteile sind nicht zu beschaffen, da sie mit enorm hohen Kosten verbunden sind. Der Hersteller hat keine Niederlassungen in Deutschland, so kann ich also auch nicht von der Garantie Gebrauch machen. Die Webseite ist *sehr* benutzerunfreundlich und weist Kunden ohne das genau richtige Modell ab.Niemals dieses Handy kaufen, wenn man sich ein ansatzweise robustes Gerät wünscht.Die “Stereo”-Lautsprecher funktionieren außerdem fehlerhaft. Der untere Lautsprecher ist wesentlich lauter als der obere. Man muss über Accessibility Options die Balance auf den linken Kopfhörer verschieben, um ansatzweise einen ausgeglichenen Stereo Sound zu erreichen. Dies führt aber dazu, dass einige Höhen besonders laut sind.
