The Nord 2 makes a strong case for itself. The Dimensity 1200-AI chipset is one of the most powerful you’ll find for the price, the understated design remains appealing, and the main camera will outclass most rivals. While Xiaomi and Realme may deliver better value on paper, the OxygenOS software experience still gives OnePlus an undeniable edge.

OnePlus has again produced a phone that offers so much for a handset of its price that you may struggle to believe the specs sheet. It's just a pity that it's still not coming to the United States.

El Nord 2 se justifica solo. El chipset Dimensity 1200-AI es uno de los más potentes que encontrarás a este precio, el sutil diseño sigue siendo atractivo y la cámara principal supera a la mayoría de rivales. Aunque puede que Xiaomi y Realme ofrezcan una mejor relación calidad-precio sobre papel, la experiencia ofrecida por el software OxygenOS toma ventaja indudablemente.

Le Nord 2 a de solides atouts. Tout d’abord son processeur Dimensity 1200-AI est l’un des plus puissants que vous trouverez à ce prix, son design discret mais tout de même attrayant, et son capteur principal qui surclasse la plupart des ses rivaux. Bien que Xiaomi et Realme sont meilleurs sur le papier, l’expérience logicielle OxygenOS offre toujours à OnePlus un avantage indéniable.
