I bought the phone because of the battery size, 80w fast charger (bought separately with a 30% discount as part of early deal) and the headphone jack - all features that hit the mark with me. It may not be the most super duper up to date spec wise but I'm not a gamer so do not need it to be. It will certainly meet the needs of the vast majority of people for everyday use. I am a heavy youtube/news websites user so the screen, resolution etc look good to me. I got it E307 all in including the free ear buds which I seen were no longer available closer to the end of the promotion period. I also see a lot of criticisms seem to be based on comparing with the India market specs and pricing however the European version is higher specs with NFC etc that are not on the Indian version.
Yeah op is best when it comes to using phones in really long term, myself using og Nord still 6hr sot, oxy os left. 7yr update policy ain't got shit on one plus
I have this arriving today in blue. But... Just seen the review for the CMF Phone 1 and that has 4k and a much better processor and is £70 cheaper. Not to mention the customization options. Nord may well be heading back.
awesome vid brother, love the grey color! one question though are the haptics like your average generic Android or are they clicky/tappy like the higher ends?
The specs of this phone is VERY similar against oppo Reno 2Z, which is from 2019 and also has a headphone jack in it. The only difference is the battery and the slightly bump in camera megapixel and the upgradable memory card, which can also be seen in the oppo reno 2z. Very interesting price point, but for that kind of money now in 2024, you can get better specs on the smartphone market secondhand wise if you buy smart enough...
Great vid as always, I have a screen brightness question. Max peak is one thing but what about real life outdoor usage on a sunny day? I have a s20 ultra 5G which is a good phone but I dislike the brighness.
Thank you for your pro review, I am still indecisive between galaxy a55 and norde ce 4 lite. I really appreciate the 3.5mm earphone jack and overall experince that I am having with nord ce 2 lite. But i dont lile the 2 os updates. Samsung offers 4 os updates, but at the same time, I dont k ow how galacy a55 will keepup with the softwar updates and maintain performance.
I bought this phone as a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S10E, it's the first time ever i bought a entry level phone, for my usage, mostly WhatsApp, insta and RUclips, it's crazy to still pay 500+ for a Phone. Got it for 300€, with free buds, case and the fast charger. Edit: it's going back, way to big for my hands man, sweet spot for phones really is 5.8-6.1 inches.
@@FlashTVOfficial Agree i prefer if possible always snapdragon over mediatek due to it having more stable connectivity less lag in games. And even longer battery life. But thats just my own experience
keeping eyes on the next one...sorry was late lol but yer looks ok for price and if yer can get money off and buds at laurnch...no reason not too...if wanting a e ertry level phone

do you mind to give an update?
I dont get why people are complaining about a budget phone?
Youe right. I own a one plus ce 2 5G and one plus nord ce 3 lite the lime color❤
because the're spoiled brats that don't know wtf they want
@@DanielBradler so true! they dont appreciate these decent mid ranged phones
@@MrAzzywazzy yeah fr
Exactly, especially with the specs you're getting, that mega blue is sick though
Proud owner of a OnePlus 6. Bought it in 2018 and still works perfectly. OnePlus knows how to make phones.

I am still rocking the 6t. I somtimes have a couple of issues, but thinking about what my phone has to go through, I am still extremely happy
The catch is the old SoC...cant think of sticking 3 iterations of the line-up with the same power.
Watching this on the og Nord
What about security updates? You didn't mention it!

@what gear - how did you find the ergonomics of the phone? Is it too wide? Difficult to handle?
I actually don't mind the size and weight. It's not bad
Dose it support 120 fps for all app found in oxgen 14 os
How are the haptics of OnePlus Nord ce4
Are they same as 12r
They're not bad. I've got no complaints. I didn't get to try the 12R so I can't tell ya.
Nah bro for sure they ain't like 12r
awesome vid brother, love the grey color! one question though are the haptics like your average generic Android or are they clicky/tappy like the higher ends?
sooo what is the catch?
I think what most people consider to be the catch is the slightly older Snapdragon chip
@@WhatGear yeaahh correct its a 12 k smartphone chip placed in 20 k smartphone

@@daniellikahong where can I find a good second hand
When would you receive it if you order it now? Straight away or would it take a week or two?
In Ireland for me it says it would arrive 10th July
Nord Ce 2 lite and Nord Ce 3 lite both got Snapdragon 695 chip. I'm surprised OnePlus still use it on this one.
Maybe they bought too many

Well Oneplus 12 have high brightness
Does it have fm radio app? The one with the 3.5mm jack?
I'll have to check for you

The Snapdragon 695 Chip was released at 26.10.2021 ... 3 Year old chip in a mid-range smartphone? WTF
Isn't it a budget phone? Who cares lol
Its 250 euro phone what you expect🤣
It still holds good tbh. No lag and runs everyday stuff perfectly and is battery friendly.
@@brother7238 Where I live it's 150 now or even less, got it as new for 179.

Does this phone have built in FM radio? Someone please tell me..
Probably not, its been a long time that Phones sold in europe had that

Thank u very much
Looks like this phone must be the top 4 phones
Is it better overall phone than Redmi note 13 & Samsung A25;
It's slower, but beside speed it holds up or wins on every other category.
I think that I just found my new phone!
I'm looking at this over an S21 Fe Refurb. I can get a 30 month guarantee with the S21, I'm torn.
Apparently software is annoying and camera is bad on nord 3?
I quite like the software. I've not run into anything that's bothered me
Its 200 quid in India
Sound right....we get ripped off for everything over here 😞
@@WhatGear sad 😢
Disappointed with SD695 !
Yeh...it's a old one.
Haha the c4
Plastic explosive 🧨 😂
Sd 695 ?
Yep
wallpaper star wars? like
I am early. But this phone got alot of bad reviews sadly.
I think maybe people forget that it is very much an entry level model...
@@WhatGear the specs are horrible even for the budget price.. a snapdragon 695 in 2024 is hilarious
keeping eyes on the next one...sorry was late lol
but yer looks ok for price and if yer can get money off and buds at laurnch...no reason not too...if wanting a e ertry level phone
£250 wirh the buds is definitely a fantastic deal
watching this video on the oneplus nord 3
Nice! How's it holding up?
@@WhatGear amazingly
New SD and I'd of had it.
this is just a ce 3 with worse camera and slightly faster charging
