I'm confused between two phones under 30k:
1. Oneplus Nord 5
Pros:
a) Bigger storage 256GB as base varient
b) Bigger battery 6800mAH
c) Fast charging (80W) + Brick included
Cons:
a) Pretty average cameras
b) IP65 protection
2. Samsung S24 FE
Pros:
a) Good Cameras
b) IP68 protection
c) Best AI tools
d) Smooth UI
Cons:
a) Average battery 4700mAH - but it's good optimization makes it better
b) Slow charging support 25W + Brick missing
c) Dearer by 1-2k
Few points I haven't considered as those are irrelevant for my use case or very trivial:
- Nord 5 gives better gaming performance
- Nord 5 has 10bit display vs Samsung 8bit display
- Nord 5 has better optimized 5G modem - for good 5G connectivity (irrelevant as phone will mostly stay at home)
Based on my personal choices I'm more inclined towards Samsung S24 FE.
Would love to hear you guy's opinion...
