So I recently picked up the Nord 2 after swearing off of OnePlus phones following my 8T not receiving notifications properly (returned it) and the Oppo merger was scaring me off a little but I decided to take a risk and try the Nord 2 after MUCH deliberating between it and the POCO F3. And I can happily say I am very happy.
Coming from the S20 FE I haven't noticed any real difference in performance aside from the 90hz screen which I'm now used to. The phone is snappy, the ColorOS integration is actually really well done and I'm happy with it, way more than I would have been with MIUI. I'm really interested to how Android 12 is going to look on this thing and I'm happy to get at least to Android 13 before this thing isn't supported anymore.
Overall? For £400 I'm very happy. I'm happy to answer any queries people have about the device.
I guess you aren't rooted?

Never had a Nord (yet) but I have had three OnePlus phones - 6, 7-Pro, 8T and they all have functioned quite well for me. I know many people say they're never going to buy a OnePlus phone again for various reasons, and reading these statements can have an effect on us readers causing us to reevaluate our decisions. While I hope that using a Chinese phone will not be detrimental to my data, I have also owned a Huawei phone that I gave to my sister - Mate 10 - and she is still using it without any issues. I also had a ZTE Axon 7 which I truly loved and wish I could find an equivalent even now. So I guess what I'm saying is that OnePlus does make good phones...in my opinion...and I am actively watching to see what the Nord N20 brings to the table here in the US! If it checks off enough boxes then I just may buy my 4th OnePlus phone!
Don't let others negative opinions sway your decision. Research the facts and then you will hopefully get a good phone that meets your needs.
I've had a OP3T, a 5 (which is up to day still GF's daily driver), a 7 pro (which I am currency de-googling with E/OS) and now the Nord 2.
I love OP in general and the Nord 2 in particular as well (not too big, not top heavy as the 7 pro, fast as hell, nice vibrations, not too heavy, all good).
BBut for me rooting is the most important. And hell what a disaster this particular phone is to root. After a year still TWRP able to make Nandroids and almost no development going in.
That last thing wonders me most. Even the OP1 still gets new roms coming out. But the Nord 2.... A few spin offs that's it. And that sucks.

I can get both for around the same price range, and I actually like the notch, so that does not bother me. If I do go ahead and buy the s9 plus it will be the US variant meaning no custom ROMs or nothing while the oneplus 6 will definitely have all of that and more. But the s9 plus will probably have a better camera as it does every year. What do you guys think? In a dilemma of sorts right now....
note 9 incoming
You're going to get skewed results by posting this in the S9+ forum...
I have had the last few OnePlus devices and decided to move back to the S9+. The build quality is a huge reason but also on the S9 I find I can just leave it alone and use it and be happy, with the OnePlus there were always stupid little inconsistencies that led me to messing with different ROMs and kernels trying to fix it, the camera was absolutely trash on all of them so far, not just hardware but software too. I felt like I was fighting against both the 3 and 5 rather than just enjoying the experience like I am the S9.
+1Bump
Anyone else?
I was prepared to get the OP6 until I saw a few design changes. The first was going from metal to glass. I much prefer metal as it's sturdier.
The real deciding factor was the notch, however. I hate this notch fad. Petty? Maybe, but it's an ugly distraction of a design feature to me. So it was the S9+ for me. So far I'm quite happy with it.
LG G7 or LG V40.
LG for life.
i had a oneplus 3t and a oneplus 5. both of them were underdeveloped and had bugs similar to what you would see with a custom ROM. i like the fact that oneplus lets you unlock and root without consequence, but i need a good stock ROM to default to, and a little OIS wouldn't hurt. OOS is buggy as hell and it exemplifies the oneplus name. when they say they are adding new features i pucker a bit. when sammy says they added new features, i get all squirmy with glee.
i actually don't like samsung a lot, but they do have the best product out there.
I'd say the Oneplus 6, but rumors say it will include the same camera/sensor as the 5T. If you value mobile photography at all, the S9 is the (far) better option.
To be brutally honest here if you can get a Oneplus phone for around the same price as a Galaxy s phone of the same year. That Onplus is Wayyyyy overpriced and therefore not worth it. The only way for the Onplus to compete with a premium tier phone is with a considerable mark down. At least 200$ less or else it`s not worth it.
Right now on craigslist, I can buy a sealed s9 plus for 600 and s9 for 500
They teasers were commenting on the camera being better, don't think they will use the same sensor.
If you get the Exynos version you'd also be getting the faster CPU
Welcome Fellow XDAers!! Since there is much hype around the Nord, I think there will be much more stuff for the Nord Coming our way . So, I have decided to make this Mega Thread to provide a convenient place for all the stuff coming our way, along with some basics of how to do things.

Not sure if this thread makes sense. The categories are the same as the Nord forum ones.
I will soon be posting the basics of correctly flashing and plus, this saves you from the occasional ranting threads.
I will keep on adding more content as and when I get time
So I get 5 people on xda (including me) have gotten their nord?
I'm still thinking if I'll switch from my op7 (non-T) to the Nord or if some family member will get it... 90hz is nice by the way but does not make the phone really different from the 7 for me.
Since my 7 is full-stock I'm thinking of keeping the nord just for playing, hacking, gaming....
To the other owners:
Do you like your phone so far?
Is it an improvement to your prior phone?
Is it your first phone?

I had the Oneplus 5 prior to the Nord, so it's definitely an upgrade. Until now I like the phone, haven't tried everything yet. But the 90Hz display is great. I'm a bit disappointed that there is no wifi 6. In addition to that, 5G doesn't work with dual sim yet, that needs to be fixed asap.

Well, this is my first good phone
I am going to be switching from a phone with 2gigs of ram and one of the first 4g compatible mediatek SoC to the nord
I think it will be a huge improvement for me at least.
Plus, OnePlus has a great developer community (I intend to help porting a few things too)
That is a huge plus for me, I like tinkering with my hardware.

Got the Nord and OP7pro as well. Still, the OP7 feels a bit snappier. But I like the size of the Nord. Easier to handle and a lot lighter. Cameras have been more or less the same as the OP7pro up untill now from what I could see. The front facing cameras are actually really good. Strange that we can't record 4k 60fps on the main sensor.
REALLY waiting for UAG or Spigen to release some good cases. Got a bit scared after seeing the video from Jerryrigeverything to be honest.
I guess when support and development on XDA picks up, we could tweak some software and hardware to make it a more complete phone. Like dual speaker mods, better camera processing and some more optimizations.
But all in all, it's been a great experience so far. And I've changed to the Nord as my daily driver. (Still have my OP7pro on me at all times).

funny thing, i'm using a OP7T PRO and i'm thinking of buying the Nord instead.
The OP7T PRO is awesome but it's big and heavy, i've always used big screen phones but i'm getting to the point where i don't want them anymore.
Nord's camera is good, i've seen comparisons with OP7T and it's almost the same so that's ok with me.
It's lighter, a bit smaller, not the best but still a good processor which should be good for battery compared to PRO.
as a make quite some familie selfies i really like the Nord's wide angle front cam, to bad it make a big punch hole but compromises needs to be made.
How does the single speakers hold up to the double stereo speakers on your 7 PRO?

Actually think that the speaker on the Nord sounds a bit better. Sound is a bit more clear and less muffled. That is, until you listen in landscape and really hear how much better a stereo setup is.

I agree, nothing beats a dual stereo setup.
But the difference can be minimal if the single speaker is of good quality.
I don't remember which device but yesterday i saw a review of the Nord compared to a device with dual stereo and the Nord surprisingly sounded better.
And things can be better when we get a stereo mod

I'm loving the phone so far, it's a big upgrade from my huawei p10 (lost the bootlader unlock code for that too so I'm glad I can finally root again). Better camera, display, it's faster etc. Big success imo.

I switched from OP 7T to Nord - much happier with the size - don't miss the performance as I don't game.
Speaker sound quality is not as good I would say.
Also, after a week I do get the feeling the battery is not lasting as long as the 7T - maybe I still using the Nord more than usual - but I don't think so...
Only problem is that the Nord got into a boot loop after a week and I had to hard reset to get it back and spend hours re-installng etc.

Please bring UNBRICK TOOL for ONEPLUS NORD
after unlocking and locking bootloader im getting corrupt device message and cant boot into OS
please help
So I am considering getting a Oneplus Nord 2 which I figured just came out this month, right?
I myself have a 7T 128Gb which I really love. Only thing is its head heavyness due to the camera.
My wife just wants a better cam than her Huawei P90 lite and more storage space. Other than that I think she is not such a nerd like me
Anyways: I have been shocked about the fact that there are som many new Oneplus phones out there these days! And reading through all the specs man, I gotta tell you it kills me. It just doesn't tell my anything.
So my question would be: Is the Nord 2 a great buy for 399 € if my wife needs a very nice cam and lots of space? She would also need a safe case, she drops her phones A LOT!
I read some beef here about Oneplus quality and all...
Thanks for your thoughts!
One plus nord 2 came out in july last year...
And if you consider buying it: just... just don't. It's full of bugs and stock camera sucks big time. You might get better results with gcam but still... unacceptable.
Performance and battery life is good though...

Unless you really consider the price aspect, then yes, the Nord 2 can be a nice choice, but you might have to work on it a little to install a custom ROM and fine tune a few things up before being able to get the best of it.
One the other hand, I might suggest getting a OnePlus 9 Pro (its price is decreasing quite often since the OnePlus 10 Pro release) if you want a really nice camera setup and overall specs.
And if you want to split the pear in half, maybe considering a OnePlus Nord 2T 5G in its 12Go RAM/256Go ROM configuration could be the best affordable choice (529€, else, the base storage/RAM capacity is at 429€, but you'll get a better camera setup than the Nord 2).
Hi there! Just a quick question about what phone I should get next. I've been with OnePlus for a long time, first using a OnePlus 5T then a OnePlus 7T and now a OnePlus Nord. While I think the brand has slowly moved away from what I originally chose it for, cheaper price point for flagship specs, I am still happy with the phones and would get another one. I just smashed my OnePlus Nord and since I've already had it repaired before and I've had it since it launched, I was looking at getting a new phone. I really really liked the One Plus Nord, possibly my favorite of the bunch, so I was thinking of getting the OnePlus Nord 2. I wanted to ask first, what are people's opinions and user experience with the Nord 2, is it worth it?
Honestly, best consumerism practice states to never have "brand loyalty" and instead consider all options and pricepoints available to you. Do your research thoroughly, and don't let brands sway your decision too much.
If you are a fan of rooting and modifying your device on the software side the experience isn't great on the nord2 due to it's less common mediatek chipset, complete lack of official stock rom from oneplus, and the ensuing lack of custom roms and mods that this entails. Also the lack of AB partitions meaning OTA updates are inconvenient on this phone if running stock OS rooted.
And even if you're not into aftermarket software or rooting, the quality of the stock OxygenOS is declining. Judging from your previous phones, you should be aware that OxygenOS used to be very highly regarded within the community, but that is becoming less and less the reality in the past year or two, which the community is blaming mostly on the Oppo merger and ColorOS influences, with their latest OxygenOS 12 rollout being fraught with bugs and almost unuseable at times, without an option to rollback without very advanced knowledge / image files from other xda forum users.
As for performance, battery life, camera performance and the other hardware side consideration, you can look up plenty of data about this from youtube and various reviews around the internetl They're pretty decent but definitely not flagship standards by any means.
So in summary;
Aftermarket software/tweaks/rooting score = F (worst grade possible)
Stock software/Oxygen OS = D (pretty bad, getting worse by the month)
Hardware = B+ (pretty decent)
So basically, worthwhile if you don't plan to root/modify the phone and just want an ordinary phone for daily use, you're getting decent hardware as long as you can pick up the phone for a reasonable price and don't plan to use wireless chargers with it. Do note the phone is around 1 year old now so don't pay premium price for it anymore, phones of this kind of spec and age are only worth considering for a good price point, otherwise the midship phone market is totally saturated with good choices. The Google pixel 6a coming out in a few weeks time is a good example.
Could not agree more with @Zombnombs. I am using the phone for almost a year now and tweaking and rooting this phone is a nightmare. at the moment iam on a broken OS / firmware, so i cannot update the phone anymore (As OTA update refuses to work). Very dissappointed in that regard as i was used to easily tweak OP phones in the past. Oneplus is not the same company anymore as it was in 2014 :/
This phone is good for the average Joe. does everything you want a smartphone to do, and is pretty fast, takes decent pictures, but i think there are better options out there now.
Is there a decent Android phone in less than $600 / 600€ ?
Nord 2 5G is one of them. Once figured how to root without bootloop ( no TWRP) do great the job.
I am not happy with some stupid OnePlus decisions but in general the phone performs well.
Don't find oxygen so bad. My other driver is lineage os and feel the same comfortability.
Yeah, OTA update on rooted is pain and mtk is not my favorite SoC, but the overall experience is great.
Almost a year on customized & rooted.
If someone suggest better phone in this price segment will consider the change.
Particularly I cannot find one.
Best.
Edit:
After few days of research and looking on OPPO, Realme, OnePlus, Motorola, Samsung, (Xiaomi - no), didn't liked one more than mine DN2103. Will keep it, hopefully with oxygen 11.3.
I'm new to OnePlus and the 11R looks promising with those specs and design. I want to know if it is good with all the user experience and software wise.
No one replied but I had a discussion with my friend who is a tech and it seems the phone is good for that price range so I bought the phone!
Yes, OnePlus 11R is great for the price. If you're chasing synthetic numbers (Geekbench scores/Antutu scores, get iQOO phones instead). The real world performance of the phone is phenomenal. No issues at all. Even gaming (around an hour of Genshin, stable 58-60 fps on highest settings). The phone does heat up a fair bit though, but no stutters that I noticed.
Camera is 8/10. Screen is 9/10. Battery 8.5/10. Sound 8.5/10. No lags/stutters at all. Software is like 7/10. You might run into an age-old issue with oneplus devices with 5GHz networks that is fixed when you disable accidental touch prevention.

OnePlus has made a mess of Oxygen OS. I hope they fix it. I'm leaning towards iQOO and Vivo phones currently.
Samsung flagship will remain my primary device, atleast for the foreseeable future.

OnePlus makes good phones (hardware), and so do pretty much every other brand. What made OnePlus different and very special was their software, Oxygen OS. The company now has a bad team working for them ever since Carl Pei left, and the team has successfully removed the 'oxygen' from their OS, and suffocating the user experience as a result of it.
I have the OnePlus 8T and some of the things are super annoying about OOS 12 & 13. Enough to make me look for another phone. I bought the iQOO Neo 6 and the software experience is much better (although it has its own share of bugs too, but they are less annoying though). The hardware is just as capable, and cameras are good too for the price.
I hope OnePlus fixes the (super) annoying things about OOS 12 & 13.
I just got 1+ Ace 2(11R) which running ColorOS 13 (China ver). The software works pretty well. There are only a few bloatware and I got rid of it easily. The only thing annoys me is it doesn't have google services inside the OS. Although I can install Play Store and GG apps quite easily, it's still lack of basic GG syncronization for example: wifi settings, autofill id an password for apps,... Otherwise, build quality, camera, chipset, battery life,...are very good p/p. Looking forward for a stable Oxygen OS 13 for it!
