Pros and Cons

OnePlus Nord 2T

Strengths

The OnePlus Nord 2T packs a Mediatech Dimensity 1300 chipset, which offers excellent performance in the ballpark of other upper mid-range phones.
The main camera's 12.5 megapixel photos are great with plenty of resolve detail, low noise, solid dynamic range, and good contrast.
The color rendition is likable too, Auto HDR can sometimes lend an overprocessed look though.
Selfies come from the 32 megapixel front-facing cam and have plenty of resolve detail, good exposure, and a realistic look.
Videos can be taken with the main Cam and up to 4K resolution at 30 FPS, looking great with plenty of detail and nice processing.
The interface of the Nord 2T is OnePlus's Oxygen OS 12.1 on top of Android 12, which is clutter-free and very fluid.

OnePlus Nord 2T

The OnePlus Nord 2T marks the latest installment in the company's mid-range lineup, promising to bridge the gap until the next full-fledged upgrade arrives. As a mid-cycle refresh model, it boasts several upgrades over its predecessor, including a new Mediatek Dimensity 1300 chipset and a more powerful 80W Super VOOC charging system. With these improvements, it's essential to determine how well the Nord 2T stacks up against its predecessors and whether it continues the value-packed trend of its fellow Nords. In this review, we'll delve into the phone's features, performance, and cameras to see if it's worth considering.

vivo Y300 Pro

The Vivo Y300 Pro stands out with its massive 6,500mAh battery, making it an attractive option for those seeking long-lasting power without added bulk. Despite its large capacity, the phone's thickness and weight are comparable to regular flagship devices, thanks to Vivo's innovative battery packaging and reduced motherboard size. In our testing, the phone performed exceptionally well, lasting 5 hours in a heavy endurance test with minimal battery drop. Video watching consumed just 4% of the battery, allowing for up to 20 hours of continuous playback. Gaming performance was also impressive, with Honor of Kings playable at 90 FPS for up to 11 hours. The Vivo Y300 Pro supports fast charging, reaching 100% in just 48 minutes. Its battery can be charged up to 1,700 times and still retain over 80% capacity. The phone's design is sleek, with a 6.7-inch OLED display featuring rounded corners and a slight curve for comfortable handling. The Y300 Pro also boasts an IR remote control and IP65 waterproof rating, making it practical for everyday use. With up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage, the phone performs well in daily tasks and can handle demanding games like Honor of Kings at 90 FPS. However, camera quality is below average, with no optical image stabilization. The Vivo Y300 Pro starts at CNY 799 (around $253 USD) for its base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. This phone is ideal for those prioritizing battery life, multimedia use, and casual gaming. While it may have some drawbacks, the Y300 Pro's impressive battery performance makes it a compelling option for those seeking a long-lasting device without added bulk.
