    Here we go. Let the debates begin!

    Thus my point is that it's shame to OnePlus, same as misleading marketing regarding premium materials and bloatware free os, when you add butthurting Dailyhunt as pre-installed app.

    @malidan finally the thread is here :D

    If anyone puts that much pressure on a smartphone they deserve it to crack; however, I'm more interested in what happens in the long-term after continued heat and pressure from being in a back pocket.

    Frankly didn't think oneplus would be playing all those tricks. But since Op6 launch, oneplus is trying to add more device like Pro, 5G, now nord and this is their biggest mistake.

    I don't know why is oneplus playing with it's reputation built since oneplus one. It's main motto was to provide high specs phone with affordable rate.

    But slowly and surely oneplus has changed the motto from customer centric to money minting. Really disappointed.

    Dropped.
    Shocked.
    Shook.
    Sunburned.
    Sand papered.
    Artificially sweated on for 3 days.


    We take quality seriously. And safe to say, we do a lot of weird stuff to do it. But in the end, it’s worth the pain to make sure our phones measure up.

    I guess nobody thought of bending it, knowing that Jerry would once he got his hands on it. :confused:;)

    I can't help but notice how Jerry went really soft on that. He never says things like "durability is just one aspect" or "a hard case is a must" or "remember, durability isn't everything". he usually says things like "it's going to the shelf of shame" or something more edgy.


    "Extra protection is always a good thing" really jack :rolleyes:

    He literally puts the same amount of pressure on every smartphone and you'll be surprised to see that almost all of 'em survives and the ones which doesn't never gets the same amount of sympathy from him. So for me, that was the only surprising thing that came out of that video.

    Top 2 Google results:
    (From) £459 on Mi website
    £484.99 on Amazon

    Maybe there are cheaper places to pick up the Mi Note 10, but I'm not spending my evening searching.

    Amazon?

    Screenshot_20200727_215905.jpg This is £149 cheaper and I can get it for cheaper than this.
    When you are ready £312.🤭🤭
    I fail to see the point of this line of chat when the Nord is strong a a lunch time snack.
    The Poco F2 8/256 is out there for £400 whilst the top Nord is £430( the cheapest I've seen) crazy.

    I'm not so concerned about the frame crack, but I'm looking to see proper drop tests.
    Since the way the internal display cracks while the external glass is still intact really brings me bad memories.

    Last phone cracked internal panel in similar way with a stupid 40cm flat fall. :|

    The choice to use plastic frame but glass back is a really bad decision.

    I had already smartphones with plastic frame. Plastic frame is the worst.
    2 (all) of my Samsung Galaxy S3s had cracks on the frame.
    The crack on 1 phone was due to 30cm drop. On the second one? I have no idea why. I never dropped the second one.

    If you had to cut cost, use metal frame and plastic back. Plastic back will get scratched easily but the phones overall integrity is a lot better.

    Removing one of the cameras like the one for macro to cut the production price would be also fine for the phone's price.

    There is also one more unnecessary cost, which can be easily cut down: 5G support.
    By the time 5G is really usable a.k.a. became mainstream. Vast majority of Nord users should be already on their way looking for new phones.

    All new phones after Oneplus 3/3T seem to have relatively big trade-offs. On 7 and 8 line-ups, high price is the only big trade-off, which is still ok tho'.
    Plastic frame on the Nord is the worst decision 1+ ever took in my eyes.

    He doesn't even mentioned about missing headphones jack, two ugly front camera, 4 useless back cameras, gimmicky 5G once in his video which he do in all his videos.

    He looks more afraid of OnePlus than MKBHD :D:p
