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it comes with a three-time old Media Tech Helio G35 chipset which is an outdated processor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 M04

The Samsung Galaxy M04 smartphone boasts a sleek design with a light green color option, in addition to dark blue. The phone features a super stylish design with a white band color scheme, giving it a premium look and feel. Weighing 188 grams and measuring 9.1mm in thickness, the phone is both compact and portable. The phone's physical overview is impressive, with a secondary microphone on top, a main speaker, USB Type-C port, and 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom. The device also features a triple card slot that can accommodate two nano SIMs and one micro SD card. On the back, there's a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor with an LED flash. The Samsung Galaxy M04 sports a 6.5-inch HD Plus LCD display, accompanied by a 5MP front camera. The phone runs on One UI Core version 4.1, which is based on Android 12. The device's performance is smooth, and the user interface is intuitive to navigate. In terms of camera capabilities, the Samsung Galaxy M04 takes decent shots in various lighting conditions and modes. Face unlock performance is also impressive, quickly unlocking the phone with a swift gesture. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M04 offers a robust set of features at an affordable price point. While it may not be the most powerful device on the market, its sleek design, smooth performance, and impressive camera capabilities make it a solid choice for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone experience.
