""The Nord 6 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. This is easily the most powerful chip available in this price range and by a country mile.""
True, but there are cheaper phones with the same hardware combo, I think the final phone price matters more to the end user, than the chip price.
Check 2 of them compared here:- https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=13951&idPhone2=13904&idPhone3=14558

Seriously, Nord 4 camera design...? Looks awful, the same with oneplus 13 and all other before that. The only reason I had never looked to any oneplus phones before.

This website is slowly becoming trash.
Now can't even make battery test for one of the most popular mid rangers in the future.
Bye bye GSMArena.

This looks like a generic Oppo phone and has poor speakers, extremely unreliable white balance from the main camera, and a downgraded selfie camera. Who knows what the haptics are like, as they're never discussed in reviews.

As someone who is currently using a nord 5 I would say that don't touch these third grade phones with a barge pole. The only thing they offer is a huge battery so that you can remain glued to the screen and overlook all the basics of a device. Third class cameras, poor displays (calibration), poor vibration, a god awful skin that oxygen os and what not.

for further review data, i think you guys should include how many Wh a phone charged in 15/30/1hr (you can just use a logging usb-c adapter, plenty of those on aliexpress). i genuinely think it would add a lot to the review, instead of just "63% at 30mins" since that just makes big batteries look bad.

Why does GSMArena skip the battery test that matters a lot, especially when you had the phone in for a review over the entire weekend? You must realise that people look for Battery endurance as an important factor to make a purchase decision. It indeed will trump most of the flagships, but we all know that every flagship phone any company is making is disposable; long battery capacity will not burn the charging cycles as compared to phones that need charging daily.

I don't understand what OnePlus is doing anymore. They had a 1/2" sensor on the Nord, then they upgraded to a 1/1.56" on the Nord 2 and Nord 3. The Nord 4 went back to a 1/1.95" sensor, then OnePlus upgraded to a 1/1.56" sensor with last year's Nord 5. This time, we're back to a 1/1.95" sensor on the Nord 6. What will they do next year, I wonder?

Would be nice to see a higher res UW camera in the future. Also, 217 g is a bit too heavy. A 7500 mAh battery would have been enough, I dare say. Would trade those 1500 mAh for a 13 MP UW and an 8 MP 3x tele. Would probably make for the perfect phone.
