The OnePlus Nord has been from poco presented on the international scene and has already acquired the approval of all those who have tried it in preview. The device after years represents a return to the mid-range of the market by the Asian brand and this has tickled the curiosity of the well-known JerryRigEverything who has seen fit to put it to the test in its extreme tests ..
Thanks to the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, the OnePlus Nord screen has a scratch resistance of level 7 on a scale of 10. This is a very good result and the optical fingerprint reader, despite the stress it is subjected to, continues to function precisely.
OnePlus Nord in the hands of JerryRigEverything does not pass the endurance test
However, OnePlus Nord is not as successful in the other tests, for example the profiles of the smartphone are very easy to scratch, even if the youtuber has gone heavy with a utility knife. This happens because the profiles are made of plastic and not aluminum, as OnePlus wants us to believe by adopting a glossy finish.
The rear and the camera module were not directly subjected to the scratch test, but they had no problems with the cutter.The OnePlus Nord screen resists the direct heat of a lighter for 25 seconds before being damaged, a not bad result but still not so amazing.
The series problem comes in the smartphone flex test, in which OnePlus Nord does not come out with its head held high, deforming and breaking easily by levering with your hands. Of course this is an extreme test, no one would ever dream of folding their smartphone but it must also be said that many competing models have greater resistance. The JerryRigEverything test therefore ends as it cannot continue.
In short, OnePlus Nord seems to be a smartphone with good technical qualities but perhaps "fragile" compared to the competition and the justifications of being faced with a cheap device does not hold up, also because we are always paying out almost 400 euros and the compromise of having a device in our hands with materials poco resistant is not what is expected.
