Pros and Cons

OnePlus Nord N20 SE

Strengths

uconnect's design is really good which is exactly what Oppo is known for
it has a standard 5000 battery with 33w charging
with such a low powered processor and HD screen you can anticipate veritably good battery life from this phone
OnePlus still has an excellent brand image in the eyes of general consumers

Weaknesses

the Nord n20sc doesn't make any sense at this price, it's ridiculously priced
it comes with a three-time old Media Tech Helio G35 chipset which is an outdated processor
HD display refreshes at just 60 HC which is slower than the competition
the binary camera setup has no Ultra wide lines and produces average results
camera performance is always emotional, especially in selfies and videography
it's analogous to what my verdict for oppo's Budget a series phones has always been: don't ever buy them
there are much better products at analogous prices out there with Superior specs in nearly all aspects
the phone feels sluggish, it doesn't indeed feel like you're using a OnePlus phone

OnePlus Nord N20 SE

The OnePlus Nord N20 SE is the brand's most budget-friendly offering yet, priced at an astonishing Rs 14,999 in India. However, beneath its stylish design lies a phone that fails to impress. With a three-year-old MediaTek Helio G35 chipset, HD display, and binary camera setup, this phone seems like an oversold rebrand of the Oppo A74G. At this price point, it's hard not to compare it unfavorably to other budget options from brands like Redmi, Galaxy, and Realme, which offer superior specs for a similar price.

Samsung Galaxy A04

The Samsung Galaxy A04 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a large display, good battery life, and decent performance. The device features a 5,000mAh battery, which should last for a full day or even multiple days with moderate use. Unfortunately, the phone does not support 5G connectivity, limiting it to 4G LTE speeds. One of the standout features of the A04 is its display, which is only 720p but still looks crisp and clear on its large canvas. The device also gets very loud, making it suitable for watching videos or listening to music. However, the phone's performance is a major letdown, with slow processing speeds that make everyday tasks feel sluggish. The A04 also lacks features like NFC, which means users cannot take advantage of mobile contactless payments. The phone's build quality feels surprisingly premium, considering its low-end status. However, it does pick up fingerprints easily due to its glossy back. The device is made entirely of plastic, except for the glass display. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A04 may not be the most exciting or powerful smartphone on the market, but it could be a viable option for those who want a budget-friendly phone with a large display and good battery life. Its slow performance and lack of features are significant drawbacks, but its price point might make it an attractive choice for some users.
