India Today
The new OnePlus phone is a good all-rounder phone that offers almost all the features that a user might be looking for in Rs 30,000 segment in India. Here's how it compares against the iQOO Neo 6 and Samsung Galaxy A52s.
The OnePlus Nord 2T has been launched in India under Rs 30,000, which is already filled with some of the good options from different brands. These include the Samsung Galaxy A52s and the iQOO Neo 6. The new OnePlus phone is an all-rounder phone that offers almost all the features that a user might be looking for in Rs 30,000 segment. But, how does it compare against some of the popular phones in the same segment? Read on to find out.
The newly launched OnePlus Nord 2T comes with a starting price of Rs 28,999 in India. For the same price, the company will be giving the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration. The base variant of the Samsung Galaxy A52s is selling in India for Rs 28,571. The mentioned price is for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage model. The iQOO Neo 6 will cost you Rs 29,999 if you buy the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model.
The Samsung Galaxy A52s has a no-nonsense design. People who don’t like fancy back panels with a gradient finish and prefer a simple, neat design will like this device. OnePlus is offering the same designs on most affordable phones with cosmetic changes. The Nord 2T has two big circles in the rear camera module that is housing three camera sensors. The iQOO Neo 6 is available in two different gradient finishes the blue one is too flashy and the dark one is a bit subtle, which I feel will be a better choice for many. All the three smartphones come with a punch-hole display design and have stereo speakers.
The iQOO Neo 6 has one of the best displays. It features a high-end E4 screen with 120Hz refresh rate. This one has a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD+ panel with a maximum of 800nits of peak brightness, so the screen has good sunlight legibility. The device even has HDR 10+ certification, so one will be able to watch high-quality HDR content.
The Samsung phone packs a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED HDR 10+ display that operates at FHD+ resolution. This one too has support for 800nits of peak brightness. Unlike the two other phones, this one has IP67 water-resistant rating. This means that the device can survive in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Having an IP rating is rare in the Rs 30,000. This is an added bonus and a lot of users will appreciate it.
The OnePlus Nord 2T also offers a good enough HDR10+ display that is about 6.43-inches in size. The AMOLED screen refreshes at 90Hz. The panel has a coating of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for additional protection against accidental damages. However, this one has support for the lowest brightness levels, which means that the screen of this phone will be less visible in harsh sunlight in comparison to iQOO and Samsung.
The OnePlus Nord 2T does have a new MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chip, but users will get performance similar to the original Nord 2 smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy A52s has a Snapdragon 778G chip under the hood. Both the Samsung and OnePlus will offer more or less the same performance experience. So, you don’t have to worry about the performance section. Though, the iQOO Neo 6 features a more powerful Snapdragon 870 SoC. Users will get a better gaming performance with this one, rather than with the other two devices.
