Update:
I no longer close myself out of apps (except just now, bc this phone has a twisted sense of humor). Like any new setup, it just took a little getting used to. For example, I added a screen protector, not realizing it came with one already on it. I don't expect to upgrade for quite a while, but when I do, I probably won't even bother looking at other brands. OnePlus is the way to go - the Nord n30 feels and acts like a much more expensive device than it is.
Original:
I had never heard of the OnePlus brand until recently, but they seem to have a very good reputation. The Nord n30 kept topping the list of best lower-cost phones, so I took a chance and I'm so glad. My old phone was glitching a lot, basically acting like it was on the verge of total failure. I wanted to get something of reasonable quality, and fortunately, Amazon lets you pay in installments with no interest. That makes a big difference when money is tight, and at the holidays in particular.
It's thin and light, and the screen is about as big as it can get without being ridiculous. That's perfect if you're 40+ and don't see as well anymore. The downside is that if you happen to have small hands, it may take some getting used to - it's just the slightest bit of a reach. The display is bright and beautiful, and it's super quick with no lagging. If you watch videos or listen to music you'll notice that the sound quality is amazing, particularly with earphones.
I take a lot of photos, so the camera was important too. This one is very nice and I've gotten some excellent pics of the cat (and really, what else are cameras for?). I tested it on notoriously difficult holiday lights at night, and it did very well. Looking forward to landscapes and snow scenes. And more cat. The only thing that bugs me is I keep accidentally minimizing apps by swiping too close to the bottom where the functions are. That's something you have to acclimate to, but hopefully I'll get there soon.
Overall this is an excellent choice if you want a high quality phone that doesn't cost half a month's rent.

Better than my Samsung
The best phone you never knew about. Why is it the major carriers have us choose between Samsung or I-phone? Because it's all a scam. This phone cost me $220.00 It comes with a $70 brick charger and a protective case. It's unlocked. I read all the reviews and watched every video. The real life reality.. it's as good & even better than 2 of my Samsungs. I paired it with mint mobile & ditched at&t. $220.00 for the phone & $180 for 12 months of no commitment service from mint aka T-Mobile. That's about what I was paying for 3 months with at&t in addition to the 3 year commitment and the notorious "disappearing trade" scam from the big 3.
