I can't begin to explain how pleased I am with this device.
Everything but everything is snappy, the display is gorgeous minus a slight issue (I have a minor defect in terms of colours on the bottom part of the screen, but I have had similar issues with AMOLED panels before) and the 90Hz refresh rate makes the phone feel so much more fluid, charging is very fast though, for the first time in a phone (for me) it's not needed as it gets through to the end of the day easily (I tend to leave things like Bluetooth on, use the screen a lot).
The cameras are both amazing and a disappointment; the main sensor is great, and while you might get a better photo from something like a google pixel, this is good enough for any situation I've thrown at it.
The Ultra-wide is great for fitting a lot in, but don't expect to make out much detail. It's good for group photos, but things like landscape photos are far too soft (think blurry, but still in focus if that makes sense).
The depth sensor I don't really see the point - it's supposed to help with portrait mode shots, but software edge detection from a single camera is as good now, so seems like wasted hardware.
The macro camera is, to put it bluntly, awful. They've tried doing software updates to fix the main complaints (no detail, lack of colour) and while they have fixed the lack of colour, the detail cannot be fixed as 2MP is not enough. That isn't to say you won't find use out of the macro camera, you might find a use case, however I prefer to just zoom in on the main sensor for a clearer photo.
I don't take selfies, so I'll leave it to others to describe those.
The frame is plastic, not metal (though it does look like it) and the back is glass - this still makes it feel like a modern, pricier phone. There are some concerns surrounding structural integrity (bend tests), however I don't think anyone would be likely to put that much pressure on their phone unless they were trying to snap it.
The speaker is loud, however it is only a single, bottom firing, and at high volumes sounds quite tinny.
I think whether you go for this phone depends on what you are looking for - if it's camera, a powerhouse for performance, or a 2 day battery life, this probably isn't the phone for you; it may be adequate for you but you might find yourself wishing for something more
If you want a cheap(ish - compared to today's flagships), adequate performing, high refresh rate AMOLED display, 5G capable, fast charging, flagship-looking, everyday phone, you're in the right spot.

Great screen, Great battery, Poor service...
Screen is great! P3 display makes most of a difference when watching movies & gaming.90hz is so nice coming from a 60hz S10+Unfortunately the one I have keeps over heating after doing light stuff like personal hotspot and downloading. Files/games when setting the phone up for the first time. [Since updates I haven't had any overheating doing light stuff but maybe that's due to the the heatwave going away].When this does happen everything on the NORD is extremely slow. The volume buttons take 1-1.5 secs to rejester a long press. The screen goes way below 60hzs. Also the 30w warp charging has so far from my experience has just been as fast as my 15w S10+. Taken a good 40mins to get to 50. Not what I expected for 30w charging? This has now been fixed due to sofware or the the heatwave. updates However apart from this when web browsing and watching movies etc. It's a good option for the average person. Also this NORD phone can game but just so you know that it will probably over heat so when this happens the phone screen will dim down a little bit. When I mean it over heats I mean that I will get a notification saying on the line off the phone is too hot and some stuff will be restricted till the phone cools down. As I use my phone as a WiFi modem all the time for personal hotspot the NORD hoverheats slot of the time especially on a hot day at around 27c+. again probs due to th heat wave UK had 31c plus for a week when i was doing my testing. Hopefully this helps you out. Also i've noticed that at my work I don't have very little service and i'm on EE network. I'm unfortunately unable to play music sometimes or call on the OnePlus NORD. So i put the sim card in my S10+ and i could call, text, and load facebook and sometimes youtube with only a little delay. that makes me believe that the NORD over estimates the service it has evern though its a 5g phone. my sim is 4g. I did my test running YouTube from 100% to 0% on 50% brightness and 50% volume i got an accurate time of around 14h 57mins. 30W charging most days gets a full charge in 1hr. so I advise NOT plugging it in overnight with the 30W charger. Plug it in with a 5W cable and 5W wall plug if you charge over night. What i do is wake up in the morning and just do all the stuff i need to do then before you know it its on 75%. I did drop the phone and it was on concrete and i has the case on the down side as the frame is made of plastic the shock just made a dent in the phone and the case as you can see in the pics.
