2-minute Review [Positives]	Top-notch build quality, minimalistic/elegant design, and even more premium looks now, with a modern 18:9 minimal-bezel display Continues to have the very handy mute switch, in the tradition of earlier OnePlus phones One of the new additions this time is Face Unlock - a la iPhone X - it works super fast (though not quite as reliably as the iPhone X), and is another area where OP went the extra mile to make one of Google's stock feature better - it's a useful, time-saving method to unlock your phone The fingerprint reader, which used to be below the display, now sits on the back, below the camera - and it works well Very good, and this time larger AMOLED display with great color rendition, and an excellent in-built Kindle-like "reading mode" The larger display (6 inches instead of 5.5) is clearly the most envy-inciting difference between the OnePlus 5 and 5T, offering a better experience for watching videos and also simply a larger canvas to do the regular phone stuff too - and because the bezels are thinner, the 5T's physical size remains relatively the same - managing to fit in a 6-inch display within the dimensions of a one-handed phone OxygenOS continues to be an excellent blend of stock Android and light but useful touches in all the right places - it is, without doubt, one of the best Android UIs around There is also an option to make "parallel" apps on the phone if you have two different accounts for apps like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter Performance is blazing fast all round, and same as OnePlus 5 - matching and sometimes even beating other Snapdragon 835 powerhouses like the Galaxy S8, Sony Xperia XZ Premium, and even the newer Pixel 2 XL Very good dual camera setup, like the OnePlus 5 - overall it's pleasing color rendering and good dynamic range - the portrait mode is pretty nice too - on the whole the camera is fast and reliable The one major change from the OnePlus 5 is that OnePlus swapped out the 20-megapixel telephoto lens on its dual camera, replacing it with a lens for low light - resulting in better low light pictures at the expense of optical zoom - which is a good trade-off because most users will prefer having better low-light capabilities at the end of the day, over optical zoom Front facing camera is pretty good too, and so is 4K video recording (with good stabilisation) Good loudspeaker - a bit richer and full-bodied compared to OnePlus 5 Very solid battery life - similar to the OnePlus 5 - will last the day easily OnePlus's proprietary dash charging technology continues to provide industry leading fast charging speeds, and continues to work even when you are using your phone On the whole, once again leaving aside the camera, which is good but not comparable to the best in business (Google Pixel 2), the OP5T matches other premium flagships in all other areas - and delivers this at a fraction of the price - continuing OnePlus's tradition of offering great performance at excellent value for money And with improvements in some key areas (especially the screen and the looks), the OnePlus 5T also replaces its sibling as the new best phone to buy in this price range	Elegant and attractive looks - the Nord has the same design language as OnePlus flagships, and the in-hand feel is excellent Front design is similar to some of the Oppo and Realme phones with its dual punch-hole selfie camera The flat panel makes it significantly easier to use the phone with single hand The in-display fingerprint sensor as well as the face unlock works very well, and all it needs is a quick tap to unlock the phone Bright, crisp 6.44-inch Super AMOLED display - the 90Hz display on the Nord is just as vibrant and fluid as the OnePlus 8 with punchy colours and excellent viewing angles The brightness levels are more than enough for any situation indoors while being enough for direct under-the-sun use The OxygenOS is delight to have at this price, it is one of the most thoughtful, simple and clean Android skins which arguably offers the best user experience at this price point Snappy and fluid performance from the new Snapdragon 765G - in regular use there's hardly any difference between the Nord and OnePlus 8, it feels as fast and responsive as it's more expensive sibling - heavy games like PUBG mobile and Asphalt 9 run at their highest setting without any issue or lag Good camera setup for the price - a 48MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide camera, 5MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro The primary camera is the same as the one on the OnePlus 8 and captures good detail and colours are really punchy and vibrant The ultra-wide camera captures does a good job with colours and HDR with expected weaker details than the primary camera The macro camera works decently well when there is a good amount of ambient light around the subject The portrait lens also does a decent job, creates good bokeh and brings out nice portrait shots Low-light photos turn out decent, given strong enough light sources around - for darker scenes, OnePlus offers a dedicated Night mode which can be quite effective in brightening up photos Very good dual selfie cameras, a 32MP primary and an 8MP ultra-wide - the primary camera captures very good details, skin tones look good, and HDR is handled well The ultra-wide front camera is a thoughtful addition which captures a lot wider scene for all your groupies Overall, OnePlus has accumulated a great set of cameras for the price, they need some more tuning which OnePlus is known to provide with future updates Very good battery life from the 4115 mAh battery - it can easily accommodate for a day and half worth of usage with light to moderate use at 90 Hz, switching to 60 Hz improves the battery even futher Very good fast charging with the provided 30W charger in the box - it is able to take the battery to around 93 per cent in an hour, which is fairly quick The OnePlus Nord ticks all the right boxes - you get a 90Hz AMOLED display, robust hardware, good set of cameras at the back and front, unmatched software experience, and 30W fast charging - OnePlus did a fantastic job distilling the essence of its flagships into the Nord, and the result is one of the best mid-range phones in 2020
2-minute Review [Negatives]	The phone still misses out on water and dust resistance, that is there in other (yes, more expensive) flagships The phone's face unlock doesn't authorize payments like the iPhone X, and is not that consistent in challenging light The phone's display is pretty good but doesn't pack the same punch as the (again, admittedly higher priced) premium Android flagships The camera is also excellent for the price, and a little bit better than the OnePlus 5, but it is a notch below the level of the best Android camera phones like the Pixel 2 - the Pixel 2's camera outpaces the OnePlus 5T in clarity and focus, low-light (due to the camera's OIS/EIS setup), and portrait mode despite only having one lens - though of course the Pixel 2 is also much more expensive If you already have a OnePlus 5, then the changes other than the screen are not that big, so you can easily skip the OnePlus 5T	The Nord has a plastic mid-frame which definitely affects its premium positioning
