Like the phone that came before it, the OnePlus Nord 2T takes fantastic shots, especially considering its price. One area that hasn’t changed much is the camera system because if something isn’t broken, why fix it? You can expect the same 50MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP monochrome lens with a 32MP front camera - that’s actually the same selfie snapper as on the OnePlus 10 Pro.
While it won’t quite match up to the likes of the OnePlus 10 Pro in terms of quality, it really isn’t miles off either, it will be perfectly fine for most people. It’s a pleasure to stream video on and I was able to edit the occasional photo on it too because the on-screen content seems to come across pretty accurately. Sporting a 6.43-inch FHD AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, the OnePlus Nord 2T looks sharp, bright and colourful. Along the bottom edge, there’s also a downwards firing speaker and a SIM card tray.
Built into it, there’s a USB-C charging port, a power button and a volume rocker as well as the beloved alert slider which gives you a quick way to switch between its vibrate, silent and loud modes. The metalised plastic side rails are a great way to save on cost without affecting the look of the phone. Unfortunately, there’s no official IP rating here so the OnePlus Nord 2T can’t claim to be waterproof or dustproof. They’re easy enough to wipe away though, and the phone comes with a protective case included in the box which will solve that problem anyway. Gorilla Glass 5 covers the front and back so the phone feels durable but it does pick up light fingerprint marks here and there. You can’t deny that OnePlus makes some good looking handsets and this phone is a fantastic example of that. I got my hands on the latter and its shiny reflective back is definitely eye-catching and looks a lot more luxurious than it actually is.
