The phone's SuperVOOC 65W fast charging can charge the battery from empty in just over half an hour.
The camera output has improved due to the Mediatek Dimension's camera smart feature.
The phone's connectivity is great with full 5g support and Wi-Fi 6.
The phone's display responsiveness was wonderful with no issues during gaming or video streaming.

Weaknesses

Gentian Impact struggled a fair bit on the default lore detail settings, experiencing frame rate drops.
The camera modes can't be accessed by pulling up like on previous OnePluses, which is a shame.
There's no 60fps option for video recording.
The phone's rear camera uses the same sensor tech as the original Nord CE, despite claims of improved performance.
The phone doesn't support 5G in all regions or countries (assumed based on 'great to see you've got full 5g support' statement).
