The OnePlus Nord 2 hits the smartphone sweet spot

Hotter than papa bear's porridge

Heard the one about the blonde criminal who burgles an unsuspecting family of bears? You know, the one where the golden-locked offender gobbles a temperate bowl of oats? Well the OnePlus Nord 2 is the perfect porridge of the smartphone world: equipped with a 6.43in AMOLED display and a trio of AI-assisted lenses, the 5G flagship killer offers something to suit every breakfast thief. Its MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip is tooled to take on a host of AI-enabled tasks, while the 50MP main camera features a sensor that’s larger by half – meaning better low-light performance, enhanced by a new Nightscape Ultra mode. There’s no wireless charging, but a Warp Charge 65 adapter can zap the 4500mAh cell from flat to full in just half an hour. Ideal if you’re caught short before a walk in the woods. And at £399, the price is just right.
