I remember when OnePlus introduced Nord 1. It was the best of the best of the best and unique above all phone then and there...In reality, there was a minimum of 5 competitors with similar pricing(and cheaper). When marketing is so aggressive about something-for me it is such a red flag.

@PhilipAlexanderHassialis Ай бұрын

This. I am not an NFC fan but at this price a 3.5mm would go a long way, esp. since the phone has expandable storage, so it could serve as a great "secondary" phone for the gym/running/whathaveyou, where, at the end, if something happened, 250 quids would be a much easier pill to swallow than a full upper-mid phone price.

It should technically be less of a hassle to replace the battery compared to a "regular" phone that has the back glued on. No teardowns of it yet, but you can see a few screws on the plate covering the battery, so probably not too difficult to deal with. The problem is that the battery will most likely outlive the software support for the phone :D They also do not seem to provide easily available spare parts for any of their phones.
