OnePlusNord 2T 5G (UK) - 12GB RAM 256GB SIM Free Smartphone with 50MP AI Triple Camera and 80W SUPERVOOC Fast Charging - Grey Shadow [UK version]

I bought this phone to replace an aging but well served Nokia 8. I was totally bamboozled by the plethora of internet reviews about the " best mid priced smartphone" but had got it down to a choice of two. So I decided to keep to a strict budget. Therefore, based on the price, operating system, features and my simple usage I plumbed for this. The Oneplus Nord 2T.The phone promptly arrived and a lot of it's features, given good words by Amazon customers reviews, were proven to be very accurate.The operating system is Android 12 and the One plus UI overlay is pretty none intrusive over the general order of things. The battery lasted impressively considering the amount of use for installing, configuring and generally setting everything up. I would say I'm an average user and the battery lasted generally 2 days. I think this is good seeing as it is a modern phone and has a lot to do. Charging time was a remarkable step up but I'm of the " make a brew whilst it's charging" frame of mind so it's no biggie ( it is fast taking 0 to charged in roughly half an hour).The screen is very good indeed and has loads of settings that I'm still getting used to. The clarity of it struck me most - and contrary to what anyone says - 90Hz refresh rate is fab considering the size of the screen.The camera has loads of settings too but I'm very impressed with what I have seen so far.The phone itself comes with a case, screen protector already fitted and is a very sleek modern design. I opted to buy an extra cover and some tempered glass screen protectors as I know it may come across a set of keys in my pocket!! I particularly like the on screen finger print reader - as it actually works !! I took a tip from a previous reviewer and used my middle finger to set it up, due to cuts and knocks on my index finger and thumb.All in all I would say that if you would like a reasonably cheap phone ( by today's standards) with a load of neat features, dead easy to use, looks and feels great with a nifty bit of camera to boot - then you won't go far wrong with one of these. By the way - don't fuss over lack of IP rating - as you're not that daft to bury it in sand or go swimming with it - are you?!!

I'm a bit of a dinosaur but found this pretty quick and easy to setup and use. The fingerprint recognition is excellent, battery life has been better than expected, and transfer of contacts etc from old phone to new went well. I've added a laminated glass screen protector and bumper as I use it outdoors quite a lot. So far it's been very good..

I had a OnePlus previously which lasted over 7 years after surviving 2 hot wash full cycles and being dropped numerous times. After 3 months this phone has lived up to expectations. Battery is extremely good at the moment. Great value. Easy to transfer all contacts and photographs. Great phone.

Unfortunately, I ordered this a while back and the screen did not respond to touches. The battery drain was also at 1% per minute. The speakers were really muffled. I had turned off all the background apps, ads, trackers etc because that's what I always do with my phones. Anyway tried to return but Amazon were very difficult telling me since the box had been opened they could not resell it. After eventually sending back, Anazon did not give me back the full refund (40 pounds in credit) was withheld. So if you want to buy it, be cautious, very cautious.

Really nice phone. Easy to set up. Very top quality. Nice sound. Very happy.
