Promising a mix of superior performance, appealing design, and reasonably competitive pricing, the OnePlus Nord 3 5G seems to have a lot going for it. You can of course check out our full review of the device for the same. However, no device is perfect and the Nord 3 is no different. In this balanced assessment, we delve into the OnePlus Nord 3 5G's key attributes, offering you three compelling reasons to consider this device, alongside three aspects that might make you pause. This overview will definitely help you make a much more informed choice about the product. Three Reasons to Buy OnePlus Nord 3 5G Impressive Display Impressive Display OnePlus Nord 3 5G boasts a vibrant 6.74-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution. With a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, the viewing experience is smooth and pleasing. Also, the panel can hit a peak brightness of 1,450 nits, which enhances visibility in different light conditions, and supports HDR10+ for richer colours and contrast. Power-Packed Performance Under the hood, the Nord 3 houses the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, a robust processor from last year that is capable of handling intensive tasks with ease. It allows BGMI to run smoothly at 60fps, while maintaining HDR graphics, that will certainly appease avid mobile gaming fans. Add to that up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and the Nord 3 will not disappoint in delivering a seamless performance. Premium Design Premium Design OnePlus Nord 3 5G is not just about power and performance, it also looks the part. The phone flaunts a premium Gorilla Glass back with matte finish that gives it a sleek and high-end appearance. Additionally, the phone is quite robust, featuring a solid Dragontrail glass protection for the display. There’s also the handy alert-slider on the right which is highly utility-driven and unique in the segment. Three reasons not to buy the OnePlus Nord 3 5G Lackluster ultra-wide and macro camera Three reasons not to buy the OnePlus Nord 3 5G Despite boasting an impressive primary camera, the OnePlus Nord 3 5G falls short in its secondary camera offerings. The 8MP ultra-wide sensor produces images that lack a bit of detail and have distortion around the edges. Furthermore, the colour reproduction is not always accurate, leading to a noticeable disparity when switching between the main and the ultra-wide lens. The 2MP macro camera is another weak point. With just a 2MP resolution, the level of detail captured is minimal, and images often turn out blurry. Low light images lack detailing Lack Detailing While the OnePlus Nord 3 5G excels in daylight photography, it struggles significantly under low-light conditions. The camera's performance dips noticeably when the lighting is less than optimal. Despite the presence of a dedicated Night mode, the images tend to lack sharpness and detail, and there's noticeable noise creeping into the frame. No tangible IP rating No Tangible IP Rating Another potential drawback of the OnePlus Nord 3 5G is its lack of a proper IP rating. Many of the competing smartphones, including those from iQOO and POCO, come with at least some form of an IP rating. This gives users a peace of mind when they are using their device near water or in dusty conditions. Since the OnePlus Nord 3 does not have a tangible IP rating the device can be vulnerable to such elements.
