      It's using same main camera sensor, as 9 Pro uses on it's ultrawide camera, so in a way it's a flagship camera sensor as well. And it's using different isp, since it has MediaTek chip, instead of Snapdragon.

    Another great video, Tom! I had to pop in and say I'll never understand you Brits constantly complaining about the weather and not doing anything about it. I understand that your parents aren't used to heatwaves but by this point you should be because they are not going away so you should just get an air con. It's a total lifesaver. We constantly get 40+ temperatures during the summer (if only we weren't landlocked...) and even though my parents grew up thinking 30 degrees was something unheard of, we all have them now and couldn't imagine our lives without them.

    I remember owning a 3T, which was the fastest phone I'd ever used and I loved the "mute switch."
    Kind of like having an iPhone, but with a decent Android long press option keyboard. Still not available on iOS.
    But, I found it too big, at the time, but this looks really tasty.
    Pity they're no longer doing that funky OEM case!

  •  3 роки тому

    Oh! I sat and slow watched this until I did hear 2 Mp mono B/W, is that something you can use or is it just for the camera (AI) to get reference for the dynamic range or contrast?

  • @RicoResolves
    @RicoResolves 3 роки тому

    Back in the day, I owned a Jiayu G3S phone from China. It was one of the first China phones you could get (if I'm not mistaken) and pre Xiaomi. It ran on a mediatek chip just like this Nord does. However, the GPS on Mediatek chips was insanely bad. Can you tell us anything about that? How does it track your movement, your car etc? Does it ever go bonkers and just follows the satelite that it's picking up a signal from rather than sticking to your car?

    Can you make a real-world usage comparison between Nord 2 and A52 5G? Especially the cameras, because they have a similar price range?
    And also because most people are ready to pay for software that Oneplus provides, but they call Samsung overpriced even when they have excellent software support for the A-series.
    I'm not taking any sides here, I'm just looking for a phone that's worth the money I pay and is also good for productivity.

    I got the OnePlus Nord last year and it's probably the last OP phone I'll ever buy. Software updates made the phone slower and the battery life got significantly worse; with so many devices they have to support, I doubt they'll become better at optimising the software.

    The short charging time is a big plus. My husband won't consider buying the same phone because wireless charging isn't an option.
    Having never owned any of the top brands or a flag ship phone, I can't compare and right now I'm glad I can't, because I can't afford better.

    Hey Tom, what's the name of that fan you've got on your desk? Is it any good? I've been looking for a decent desk fan in these sweltering conditions 😅

      It's not great! Looks good, the wife bought it but it doesn't do much!

      @@Thetechchap Ah that's disappointing! Also, is your Dyson Hot + Cold air purifier any good? I want something that purifies the air but also acts as a heater and fan! Is the fan function actually good or is it just one of those weak fans? Hope you're doing well in the hot weather chap

    The OIS on the Nord 2 is almost enough to make it worth the price on its own
