We asked, you told us: The OnePlus Nord is, indeed, hot
August 17, 2025
After what feels like decades of trickled teasers and leaks, theOnePlus Nordfinally broke cover this month. While the company’s exuberant pre-launch efforts havecome under scrutiny, there’s no denying that the phone is a tantalizing prospect on paper.
Balancing affordability with features has always been a tough cocktail for companies building modern mid-rangers. But is it hot, or not?
We asked you ifyou’d swipe righton the OnePlus Nord, and this is what you had to say.
OnePlus Nord: Hot or Not?
If we used a temperature scale, the OnePlus Nord would’ve set this poll on fire. Of the nearly 29,000 votes cast, just under 70% of you believe that the OnePlus Nord is “Hot.” That’s a decidedly clear victory for the company’s new mid-ranger.
It’s pretty clear why so many praise this device. It hits the mark on some key and trending specifications, including a display with a90Hz refresh rate, a total of six cameras, up to 256GB of storage, and a dizzying amount of RAM in some guises. TheSnapdragon 765Galso strikes a good compromise between performance and price, perfect for a£379device. Despite this, buyers also get a phone that canoutperformthe OnePlus 7T Pro in certain instances.

However, the Nord isn’t exactly a cheap phone. The 28.9% of you who voted “Not” berate the phone’s lack of an IP rating, wireless charging, and a headphone port. Its questionableselfie camera performanceand reportedscreen tinting issuesdon’t help its case either.
The lack of a wideUS releaseis likely another bitter pill to swallow for potential buyers, but this is largely a mark on OnePlus than the device itself. Arguably, the Nord also has a lopsided specs sheet, especially if you value battery capacity over the RAM or camera numbers.
