I was looking for a new cell phone that doesn't cost 1,000 euros, but is "future-proof" (5G, sufficiently fast, sufficient storage, etc.) and that could take decent pictures. With three little rascals in the house, it's so easy to pick up the phone and snap a photo of a memorable moment.
Well, I am very satisfied with this phone:
The ease of use of the OP's operating system is great (my previous one was also an OP, that helps, of course, but it's just an intuitive system, works smoothly and logically)
The device is fast enough: I haven't had a single moment that I had a delay, a glitch or anything...
It takes very nice pictures. I'm from the OP 5t and it just took pictures, but not great pictures. Even poor photos in dark lighting. With the Nord 2, the photos in all conditions (outdoors or indoors, light or dark, etc.) are simply very good. The AI also helps with that.
With 5G, 128 GB (which is enough for me with cloud applications etc., because I don't install tons of apps) storage and 8 GB memory, the device will last a long time (I don't want a new phone every year. My I would still have had 5t if I hadn't accidentally dropped this one).
The battery lasts a day with intensive use. My 5t lasted a lot longer with the same use (twice as long), towards the end I had to charge daily, but I don't think this is different with other devices.
Absolute added value is the warp charge. The device is fully charged from 10% to 100% in about half an hour. That's a convenience!
Consequently, a top device in this price range. For people like me who have reasonably high expectations, but don't want to pay 800 to 1,000 euros for a device, but still a device that lasts for a while, this is recommended in my opinion.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is an absolute must if you don't want to lose any ribs for a smartphone with very smooth performance. It is not a real high-end phone, but it is very close to it. Especially if you consider the price, you couldn't be better off. Navigating between and in apps is very smooth, there is no more waiting. The battery life is sufficient to get through the day and thanks to the included 65w charger, charging is incredibly fast. You have to pay attention to unplug the device in time if you don't want to fully charge (as I usually do). An almost empty battery is almost completely full in half an hour. The amoled screen gives beautiful, clear colors, even in a lot of light. The AI software in the photo app recognizes different situations, so that the photos you take usually turn out well, even in low light. I have noticed that in portrait mode your subject is occasionally a bit too delineated in relation to the background, but this is a bit of a bummer: The Nord 2 takes excellent photos and, not unimportant: this also goes very smoothly. With my previous device, the Nokia 8.1, I had to wait a long time before I could take a picture. Now it's just a quick push of the on/off button twice and you're there. Finally, the Nord 2 is not too big for me, unlike many new smartphones. For the price-conscious yet demanding user, this is an absolute must.

The matte gray version is not a fingerprint magnet, even though the back is made of glass. The general feel in the hand is good, size is more than good for me. Still fits in a pocket unlike other phones. The overall operation is very fast and fluid. Fingerprint sensor works fast.
