One of the best budget phones you can buy – with a stunner of a screen
If you want one of the best cheap phones but you also don't want to miss out on fast charging, decent performance and a good camera, then the OnePlus Nord 2T will absolutely be worth considering.
Gone are the days of making huge sacrifices because of a tight budget.
You can't deny that OnePlus makes some good looking handsets. Gorilla Glass 5 covers the front and back of the OnePlus Nord 2T so it feels durable, although it does pick up light fingerprint marks here and there.
The metallised plastic side rails are a great way to save on cost without affecting the look of the phone.
Unfortunately, there's no official IP rating here so it can't claim to be waterproof or dustproof.
Sporting a 6.43-inch FHD AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, the Nord 2T looks sharp, bright and colourful.
While it won't quite match up to the likes of the OnePlus 10 Pro, it really isn't miles off either and will be perfectly fine for most people.
A 90Hz refresh rate means the phone feels very smooth to use, every scroll and swipe is effortless. Although it won't be quite as silky as phones that boast a 120Hz refresh rate, the difference isn't dramatic.
You can expect the same 50MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP monochrome lens with a 32MP front camera as the phone that came before it.
Photos came out looking sharp, bright and with a fair amount of detail.
It's only when you look very closely that you notice slight blurring of the fine lines. Still, for a mid-range phone, the camera system is impressive.
