OnePlus Nord: 6 reasons not to buy

1. Headphone Jack

I think many people will not buy OnePlus Nord due to the absence of this single feature. OnePlus Nord comes in the mid-range segment and in this segment, the company can't expect people will buy their separate Bluetooth buds.

Especially in India, many people can't afford 2000-3000 rs Bluetooth earphones. Add on to it if anyone wants to play a game like PUBG Mobile which requires live sound, Bluetooth headphone can't provide accurate sound.

You can attach type C headphones but what if someone wants to use headphones while charging then it will not be possible.


2. Memory card
OnePlus should have at least given memory card support to the Nord series as after sometimes it becomes hard to store new files.

Especially in the 64GB variant, in month usage it will become problematic if you can't expand your storage.

3. Plastic body

OnePlus earlier was mentioned we are releasing the Premium Midrange phone but they didn't give headphone jack, memory card support, and also not given metal body.

Due to the plastic body, it feels a cheap phone when we hold in hand. In a similar price range, you can easily find many phones with a metal body, so OnePlus should have given a metal body that could have added more protection with a good feel in hand.

4. RAM type

Many devices are launched with new and better RAM type LPDDR5 which is the fastest and it could improve the live performance of the phone.

But in OnePlus Nors have old RAM type LPDDR4X RAM which is slower, OnePlus at least should have added a new storage type to give their customers smooth and fast performance.

5. Storage type

All storage variant of OnePlus Nord comes with UFS 2.1 storage type. 

Where there are many phones which come with new storage type 3.0 and 3.1 storage type which are better, efficient, and faster.

If UFS 3.0 was added to OnePlus it could have given better performance while performing any task.

6. Better competitor

There are many better options than OnePlus in the present market you can buy them easily with the better features, 
For example Redmi K20 Pro & Realme X3 is the best option and competitor to OnePlus, So before buying OnePlus Nord check out these phones. 

Final Verdict:

I think many of you by reading this article may feel like OnePlus Nord not that good. 

But we would like clear one thing that OnePlus Nord is an awesome phone to buy in this segment, and before you buy it you should be aware of our list of its disadvantages thus you can decide if you wanted that feature or not that's it.
