Phone Critic, 19 Mar 2026Why didn't they put a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 inside
8s Gen 4 is trash ah that everlasting battle for 5 more frames per second each year in games.
gen 3, gen 5... who cares.. they will not be good enough lol, they will throttle no matter the fps count but hey.. here we are.. lol.
but it was never about phones in the first place.
it's about people. all people are different and all these ultra nerds are trying to say their universal truth and what phone is better and what not... c'mon guys.. you are not fooling anyone.. you can't know what is the best phone for someone else.... you just can't. but here we are... lmao..
it's pretty clear majority of people coming here are trying to find a way to confront someone. that's is. they are not here to share opinions or experiences...

Aghaith , 22 Mar 2026The fact that the phone comes with only 256GB storage is a deal breaker.Still twice as much as the new Samsung series offers

The U... moreBro, you must be either kidding or mighty speculating with this list. Most phones are not even speculated with this chipset at all.
Vivo X500 is the only probable which may be a fact, that too debatably may not be a midranger, but a junior flagship, much like Galaxy S25 (the smallest one) is in front of S25 Ultra.

Nord 5 had 512 gb storage for the 12gb ram version so shame that Oneplus is not giving us the option for higher storage.
They could add micro sd card slot to it and most people would be happy with 256gb thought.
Best thing what could happen with this storage price increases is that if oems would give us micro sd card slots even for mid range&high end&flagship phones!
Honestly i am tempted buying Sony phones which have micro sd card slot even in their flagships but sadly Sony is so bad with updates and there is no desktop mode on their phones and cameras are not very good at point and shoot(although they have become much better now than few years back).
It is bizarre why no oem is bringing back micro sd card slots on their flagship phones, i bet if Oneplus, Honor, Samsung etc would add micro sd card slot for their flagship phone they would see decent jump in sales.
If someone asks why some people need so much storage on a phone answer is Gamenative which allows playing pc games on Android phones.
Hanny2000, 20 Mar 2026Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 AnTuTu score is quite similar to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. ๐คThey like rebranding shit instead of calling it what it is
Anonymous, 20 Mar 2026No bro, the 15r has 8 gen 5 (3nm) while the nord 6 has 8s gen 4 (4nm)... which is exactly what he's saying. Your reply appears to arise from a confusion.
His point is when you already got a SD8G5 from Oneplus, in form of 15R, then why ask for the same chipset from another phone (Nord 6), that too an upper-midranger (at best)?
The Android Freak, 20 Mar 2026OnePlus 15R is having that chipset. No bro, the 15r has 8 gen 5 (3nm) while the nord 6 has 8s gen 4 (4nm)
I don't mind the Snapdragon 8s Gen4 at all, coz its the cost benefit we're getting.
I just wish they would merge Nord CE6+Nord 6, and just give us microSD slot in Nord 6. Unless it's Qualcomm who's stopping them from this, considering how Nord CE5 with microSD slot had Dimensity.
ithehappy, 19 Mar 2026bought nord 5 on hype. cant wait to ditch it. bunch of overpriced substandard garbage. I'm sure you'd be taken lot more seriously if you were to give details as to how a 4.4 stars rated phone was garbage for you.
For example, the possible reasons could be overheating or lagging, insufficient battery life, UI/ skin clutter, inadequate cameras, loudspeaker's low quality, etc.
Otherwise, most will dismiss your comment thinking you don't have the device.
Phone Critic, 19 Mar 2026Why didn't they put a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 inside 8s Gen 4 is trash OnePlus 15R is having that chipset.
Just one change should have made to this and it would have been killer choice. LYT 700 for main.
