OnePlus Nord 2T vs iQOO Neo 6 vs Poco F4 5G: Comparison of Prices in India, Specifications, and Features

OnePlus Nord 2T vs iQOO Neo 6 vs Poco F4 5G: Design

With the Nord 2T's design and finish, OnePlus appears to have returned to its roots. The sandpaper-like texture has been softened for a comfortable grip, and the overall form factor is slightly smaller than the other two phones mentioned here. Nord 2T has an 8.2mm thickness and weighs 190 grams.

The frame is made of plastic, but the massive camera lenses at the back of the phone are difficult to ignore. OnePlus hasn't changed the design significantly, which is fine with us.

When it comes to the Poco F4 5G, it has glass finishing on both sides, which gives it a premium feel. The Poco F4 5G weighs 195 grams but is easy to use thanks to its 7.7mm thickness. It also has an IP53 rating for dust and splash resistance. The camera module on the back of the phone, which has three cameras, adds to the uniformity of the phone's design.

The iQoo Neo 6 weighs the same as the Nord 2T, but its 8.5mm thickness makes it slightly unwieldy. The back panel and side frame are both finished in plastic by iQoo. Unlike the Poco F4 5G, the iQoo Neo 6 does not have an IP rating. The phone's back panel is also busy, owing primarily to the camera module, while the rest of the space is uniform.

OnePlus Nord 2T vs iQOO Neo 6 vs Poco F4 5G: Verdict 

The OnePlus Nord 2T is a capable device in the market, but when compared to the Poco F4 5G and the iQOO Neo 6, its shortcomings become clear. The screen quality is good, but at this price, the 90Hz refresh rate over 120Hz quality makes it less appealing to gamers.

In addition, the hardware does not match the consistency of the Snapdragon 870, which has become everyone's favorite these days. The cameras have remained unchanged, but the charging speed has increased.

The OnePlus Nord 2T excels on most fronts, but heavy users should consider the Poco F4 5G or the iQOO Neo 6 depending on their needs.
