5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent value after price drop to 20k
Reviewed in India on 8 June 2024
I have purchased this product for 20k without any card discounts in june 2024. And the entire review will be relative to that price point.
Box contents include a good quality silicone case, 80 watt charger with red colour cable, red club card(though I found it to be useless), oneplus & nord branding stickers alongwith the smartphone.
I will start with the cons first which is the battery backup, that feels slightly less, idle drain is a bit fast as well but it ain't a deal breaker. The phone heats up a bit as well in long sessions.
For everything else this smartphone is the best choice under 20k without any doubts.
It has a fantastic 1.5k, 120hz adequately bright & responsive 10 bit amoled display.
The performance is top notch considering the price as it has dimensity 9000 which is similar to 8+gen 1 and it also has very fast lpddr5 Ram and ufs 3.1 storage. No phone under 20k is even close to this beast.
The charging is pretty fast as well with the 80 watt charger, reaches about 85-90% from 1% in just 30 mins. I use it for WhatsApp, shopping apps, banking/trading apps and YouTube And the battery provides about 6.30-7.00 hrs SOT and lasts for about a day before it dies with 50% wifi and 50% 5g single sim usage. I use black theme, 60hz refresh rate, with low volume on loud speakers and have good 5g signal strength most of the time.
The stereo speakers alongwith Dolby Atmos are above average in terms of quality & loudness.
I haven't tested the cameras extensively but they seem to be above average.
The build quality is premium as well with glad build and thin bezels
The software is good too with minimum bloatware and 0 ads, its fluid and majorly bug free with a couple of useful features. You will get updates till Android 16.
Overall highly recommended.
