Pros and Cons

OnePlus Nord 3

Strengths

The specs look great here so could this be the OnePlus Flagship killer we've been waiting for
A flagship-grade display with a high refresh rate and HDR10+ support makes it feel like a premium phone
The battery life is good, with an endurance rating of 103 hours in our tests
Fast charging is super fast, with a bundled 80W charger that can charge the phone from 0 to 98% in half an hour
The camera setup is decent, with a 50MP main cam and support for 4K video recording at 60fps
The interface of the Nord 3 is oneplus's Oxygen OS 13.1 on top of Android 13, which provides a smooth user experience
The phone runs smoothly and heavy gaming and multitasking are no problem here
The camera app is well-designed, with features like night mode and portrait mode working quite well

Weaknesses

There's no support for high frame rate gaming, which might be a letdown for some users
The macro camera is hardly praiseworthy, with limited detail and visible noise
The front-facing cam is only 16MP, which is not impressive compared to other phones in this price range
There's no electronic stabilization in 4K video recording, which might make it harder to capture smooth footage
Low light photos from the ultra-wide camera could use a boost in exposure
The phone's thermal performance was mixed during our CPU stress test
The design of the Nord 3 is similar to previous OnePlus phones, with no significant change
There's limited flexibility in terms of storage and RAM options

realme 14 Pro

Strengths

The color changing design is quite interesting, even if it's a gimmick over time. It feels much better than last year's Real Mi 13 Pro Plus or Xiaomi's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus for that matter.
It has a solid premium and robust design, military standard A10 Edge compliant, shock resistant, and has all kinds of IP ratings like IP66, IP68, and ip69, which is a first in Realme's mid-range phone.
The display on this thing is nice too, with good color reproduction, touch response, and everything else. It has high PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, works well, and the higher 1.5k resolution makes everything look sharp and RIS.
It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery that easily gets over eight hours of screen on time with this phone, so 1.5 days of battery life plus it charges pretty fast like within 55 minutes with its 8wat charger.
The camera performance is decent, with good color reproduction and sharpness in images. The primary lens does a fantastic job during nighttime too, with nice details and exposure management.

Weaknesses

It's not the most balanced mid-range phone mainly because of its average performance and a lack of a good Ultra wide lens.
The ultra-wide camera has an average resolution (8 megapixel) that results in average ultra-wide angle images during daytime as well as night, and you cannot shoot 4K videos with it.
You have to settle for 1080p video recording when switching from the primary camera to the ultra-wide camera.
The Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset doesn't support 4K 60 FPS recording, so the max you can shoot from the main and front camera is 4K 30 FPS with quality issues like movement wble.
It's not perfect for every aspect, it has some flaws like average performance, ultra-wide lens issues and lack of better chipset which could have made it a king among mid-range phones.
