What features do you think the next OnePlus flagship will have? How do you sell a $900 phone alongside the Nord?

Would like to see a comparison One Plus Nord vs old year's flagship phones.

Dave: "Before you buy the OnePlus Nord" Me: "Buy the teal spray paint for cable"

Dave2Teal: "Before you buy the OnePlus Nord" me: **already bought it** **sweats profusely**

"It makes other phones weirdly overpriced." Well...we all already knew the flagships are overpriced.

Every reviewer: Pls stop putting like 69 useless cameras and just give us one decent camera Every budget phone manufacturer: *No, I don’t think I will*

And the best thing: Its a phone that's actually available in Europe for once.

he is an absolute genius, he literally saw the flaw in the cameras in these phone line ups and correctly predicted that One Plus would have to do something crazy with the cameras in the future One Plus 9 series and as time proves One Plus did a collab with Hasselblad made it the defining feature to sell the whole One Plus 9 series! Honestly the best reviewer ever

2:22 my god, this is Chloe~

"I would look somewhere else" - he said that with such a heavy heart. Dave really likes his one plus.

In India, there are 4 kind of mobile shoppers: 1. Who wants just the bare bone smartphone, so will get one for less than ₹10k. 2. Wants a decent one without shelling Their whole month's salary, will get one for about ₹15k. 3. Flagship lovers who can afford anything, will buy ₹60k-₹100k flagship from Their favorite brand. 4. The most tech-concious, value minded People who prefer flagship grade specs for a cheaper price with many compromises compared to a true flagship, will buy SD 800 series device for ₹20k-₹30k (true flagship killers). Where is Nord's place? 1. It isn't cheap for ₹10k buy. 2. Specs are like a sub ₹20k device but costs ₹25k+. 3. Isn't a flagship. 4. Doesn't have SD 800 series to justify ₹25k. Only OP Fanboys who can't afford OP flagships will want to buy Nord.

2:50 Yay! Lofi music girl!

4:22 that night mode pic😯 Mic drop moment for rest of 📷 📱

Felt good when he used his “teal” cable lol

love how honest the camera review is. i really doubt that it's exactly like the 8's camera

Dave is such a sweet guy - honestly, I wish I was into tech more to watch more of his videos, but I only need them when I need to buy new stuff lol

Dave: It looks less premium... Users: Who cares? Most of us put it in the case after buying it.

This review peaked when Michael was about to kiss Oscar.

4:23 good god look at that night shot

Your review was far better than many in your category. Thank you Dave

Dave: This is a phone that is very easy to like JerryRigEverything : This is a phone that is easy to bend

OK ENOUGH Nord let's talk about that night shot on the pixel 3A 🤯

2:22 someone actually Using light mode on reddit :O

I would love to see you take the Gcam ports into consideration. I got my 8 a week ago and for normal photos and especially Night Mode, the Pixel camera app makes a huge difference.

Dave mentioning the 9 and 9 Pro OnePlus 8T: *Am I a joke to you?*

Dave Lee's signature intro is "Ok,Let's talk about...."

4:23 that extra words caught me off guard 😂😂

Awesome review Dave! You had me wanting it in the first half, then the second half had me checking back into reality! Such a unique experience. 😊

Why do I continue to watch videos of OnePlus Nord if it not available in the US?!

_"OMFG look at that Night Sight"_ ~Dave2D

Dave: many people are crowning it as the best android phone of the year at this price Pixel 4a: hold my camera for a sec

if photography is really valuable to you - get a proper camera. even an old Sony a6000 will make a top tier flagship phone camera look like a joke.

They started as a company who offered flagship killer's at 500$ and now. They are producing medium spec phones at 400$ and premium's at 700 to 800$. In short: *you have become the very thing you have swore to destroy*

"What's next?" Maybe a phone with a headphonejack in the sub 500 dollar category??

Once I experienced stereo speakers on my S10e, I can't go back to mono anymore

Dave : No issues structurally Jerryrigeverything : Hold my beer

"OMFG LOOK AT THAT NIGHT SIGHT" That cracked me up hahahaha

If you're thinking about getting this phone, you're far better off buying a used Oneplus 7 Pro which is around the same price but far more premium

I don't understand the obsession with extreme specs. I just want a reliable phone that will last 3 years without a problem. Good battery, screen and a decent single camera is all I need

I think the differentiating factor for the OnePlus 9/9Pro is going to be the CPU. They will probably improve the camera system as well but, the CPU is going to be the main thing. Next year should be the beginning of SoCs using the new ARM X1 cores, that should bring a huge leverage in term of single threaded performance. (this should narrow the gap with Apple CPUs). The only worrying thing, is that the X1 cores are noticeably bigger than the A76/77 cores, meaning more expensive, which in turn is probably going to mean more expensive phones.

There has been so much KZfaqr hype over this phone that it even caused JerryRigEverything to stop being objective about its durability. Crazy.

Everytime Dave says " I got some things to talk about this" I am reminded of my PTM meetings😂

When I was going to buy this, I heard a good amount of my friends telling me the cameras aren't really that good. But if you aren't like some photo nerd or someone who pixel peeps a lot, the Nord's main camera does take good reliable photos. The ultrawide is alright, I mean I purely for the wider view (As I said, I don't pay too much attention to photos so what I'm saying is that it's usable). The macro tho, omg it's a piece of shit. I think the video makes it look better than it is coz it looks so fckin bad, very clearly a space filler. The depth sensor is supposed to help in portrait (I do get decent portraits but Idk if the depth sensor actually contributes). The selfie cameras on this tho, are super underrated, they're one of the best ones I've seen, and surprisingly able to record 4k 60FPS video on the front. there is OIS on the main camera that helps a lot. Basically what I wanna say is if you ignore the macro and the sub-par ultrawide, the main and the selfie cameras are really good.

I purchased one and I am happy with the performance, so far so good. I believe mobile phones falling in the same price bracket should be compared but most of the guys try to compare every mobile with a flagship device. Strange.

Damn...last time i was this early, Oneplus was still making flagship killers!

Dave, just give us that Teal wallpaper, PLEASE!!!

4:00 I would have used a better wide-angle camera instead of depth sensor and micro camera

Nord proves that balance is everything 💫

First half of the video: oh I’m definitely buying this!! Second half: aw dang, I need a really good camera. Great review still, thanks for this!!

Me: i like this phone Dave talks about the camera Me: SKKRT HOLD UP

Get your hands on the XPERIA 1 II! That would be amazing 🙌

OnePlus 9 will obviously have 10 cameras... Triple speakers...4 screens and diamond glass! 💁🏻‍♂️

One plus 8 has become that awkward middle child now

How does Dave say exactly what he means to say precisely on the fly like that. I'm sure he has a script or outline or something but it just flows out of this guy. Awesome as usual Dave!

Why did I get this recommended to me after buying it

Do a "best charging speed/charger rating" for best battery health pliss

I think you forgot to mention that there's no headphone jack.

OnePlus Nord = Average Mid-range Phone Poco F2 Pro = Almost a Flagship killer I'll take the F2 Pro any day...

The processor for sure is going to make a difference

It's a bit late IDK wheather you'll read this comment or not but the thing I don't get is that on a midrange phone... They'll stuff literally 6 cameras and yet they say they don't have "Space" for headphone jack! Just get rid of the macro or the redundant secondary front camera but NO! They are willing to use the space for sub par cameras which provide little to no quality of life improvement to the phone but they won't put in headphone jack on this. Not to mention the weak haptics too. Things like this really rub me the wrong way towards a company no matter how good the product is in other departments.

4:22 really OMFG That is a night mode

I miss the intros.

I think a lot of reviewers make the mistake of not converting the price correctly. The Nord costs 399€ (it was for sale for 379€ already) AFTER tax and everything. For example if you wanna do the same thing with the iPhone SE 2020 you would have to take the EU price and convert it: 470€ ~ 550$, not 399$. So the NORD is even cheaper if it was sold in the US and i would be nice if you could mention it. So a 400€ is more like a 350$ phone in the US (before tax)

Dave is a great reviewer! He deserves an honorary PhD degree.

I feel like Oneplus is paying youtubers. I just get a strange feeling about it all...The phone is decent for its specs, but you can find 855 phones for the same price. The cameras on this phone are not great, the plastic build can be broken (JerryRigEverything), poor speaker, no micro sd card expandable storage, no wireless charging, no headphone jack, no ip 68, etc, etc. Edit: Lg g8 is on sale for $400 (snapdragon 855, 6gb ram, expandable storage)

Oneplus 8 and Oneplus Nord effectively made people forget about last years' great phone and made them think OnePlus Nord is the best value phone in 2020 (no hate, I do understand that support and OS is a pretty big thing). Examples would be K20 Pro, Realme X2 Pro, iPhone 11, S10+, and even their own older OnePlus 7T/7 Pro/7T Pro are forgotten because of this phone's hype.

the flagship killer is finally killing its own flagship

How are they gonna do it? IDK maybe by including all the features that they dropped from this? Wireless charging, top tier processor, waterproofing, better camera, better screen, Better storage than UFS 2.1. a stronger and better body with metal frame. There are tons of things.

1:42 JerryRigEverything: "Well..."

“Garbage” lmao. I wonder if Carl Pei watched these vids, would he go “Yep. I know :)” Or “Cmon bro, why you do me like this ):”

I'm thinking of getting this despite the bad camera. However, I'm also tempted to wait for Pixel 4a (provided it's in the same price range). Quite a dilemma

1. Faster chipset (8xx vs 7xx) 2. Better speakers (Dual front-facing vs Mono) 3. Much better haptics/vibration motor 4. Premium build quality (Metal vs Plastic) Basically, the finer details that are cheaped out on the Nord, that don't necessarily contribute to "speed"

This was secretly him praising it for the color

Damn OnePlus really payed every KZfaqr, no one compared it to the actual rivals instead they compare it to the OP 8 and iPhones. About the nord, i would have been happy if they have given only the main 48mp and 16mp wide.. he is low-key warning us not to get this phone, if your camera centric person.

This or the Galaxy A71?

Doesn't the Poco F2 Pro beat it in every way other than the screen refresh rate?

We need a comparison between Realme X2 Pro VS. Oneplus Nord VS. Xiaomi Mi 9 T Pro. All in the same price range all with different compromisses, but it will be interesting to watch.

2:51 Dave's a lover of lofi💯💯 Also that channel is low-key good with contents and bg arts Channel name - ChilledCow

I still don't get it why KZfaqrs say it's price going for 399€ in Europe but in Portugal which is way poorer it's going to cost 419€ I don't get it

The same way Apple sells the iPhone Pro vs the iPhone. OnePlus is doing the same thing basically. The Nord lets them entice people in, and the "pro" models lets them make more money by up-selling to more features/specs. The hardcore OnePlus customers from day one will stick with the "pro" models themselves, while recommending the Nord to their friends. Tech reviewers, such as yourself, will point out what a great deal the Nord is compared to the "pro" models, and cement the business strategy.

1:57 *Teal charging cable has entered the chat*

*Overrated phone dave. You know it.*

What a lovely launcher, theme & icon, I'll be very grateful for their name

Watching the video from my op Nord and I'm loving it !!

Eeeeh last year's flagships are still a good choice and for 500 dollars an 855 is way better according to me

Suscribed to /Chloe? I see you are a man of culture, Dave!

How much money did oneplus pay you?

Hi, may I know what launcher and icon packs r u using? That looks good. Good review btw

This guy is such a liar... that phone only got to 99%

Ma man Dave forgot bout the 8t and the 8t pro which is prolly comin soon✌️

Out of all the tech videos out there, i trust your judgement a lot. I finalised and bought 2months ago, the 2019 Predator Helios 300 on sale, after watching your reviews, for work and gaming purposes. Now, I am planning to buy this Nord phone(64gb variant) ONLY for the camera to take videos of my rock climbing, slacklining and photos in my treks. I've been in adventures for like 6-7yrs and when i looked back, i hardly have any good photos/videos because i don't have a good camera. i am using budget phones (currently Mi A2, previously moto g4, moto g1) , well because i don't have the budget, but first time i thought of going over my budget to get a good phone (Nord) to take good videos and photos. Now, do you think i should go for Nord this year or save more money for another 1 yr and get one plus 8 pro? i may get some sale offers as well on 8pro next yr. I always buy 1 or 2yr old models since they practically cost half. I'm not in a hurry now due to covid, can't go on adventure trips in india. Next year i'm planning to do lot of these trips and would like to film them a little professionally. Or Since i'm upgrading from Mi A2, Nord is good enough?

Bought it yesterday so now It's good time to watch this video.

2:53 ah, I see Dave you are a man of culture as well

"It is what it is" -D2D, 2020

Watching this video with my OnePlus Nord, amazing experience for the price

I hope that the biggest differences between the 9 and the next nord-like are just camera and processor. I would love an all metal/glass build on the next nord-like device, plastic just isn't very appealing to me.

the nord is just an average midrange phone with a 90Hz screen.

Why no love for the LG V60 Dave???? Its the most underrated phone of the year!

Camera, refresh rate, battery, screen tech, the new 5nm chip... Are all things I believe the 9 will have.... Possibly under display camera

Nord is perfect for someone like me. I don't do much gaming on phone( at all tbh) and camera isn't my top priority either. I like to use specific devices for those purpose and use the smartphone as a phone. What I care most about in a smartphone are- 1. battery 2 . Display 3. Speaker. Nord delivers the first two. Would have been so nice if they at least given a workable stereo speaker considering the fact it doesn't have a headphone jack. But 2/3 in this price point isn't bad enough. As he says all it is perhaps the best phone under $500. And for the most that is what will matter. And once we get the gcam port for nord, the camera will be twice as better.
