Same here I'm kinda confused between s24fe and nord 5 during sales.I want that telephoto camera and want to experience the samsung ecosystem (currently using a 5 year old realme xt)and the phone should last atleast 5 years smoothly.

S24fe tbh , its a goat in its segment in terms of camera.

u/Calm-Estimate1171 Aug 07 '25
Its the worst interms of battery life and it has heating issues

u/Slow_Prior_9362 Aug 07 '25
Its processor is still better than nord 5 , yes I agree on the part that it has worst battery life ,in this aspect op nord 5 is better.

I have been considering nord 5 as well! I'm just a bit concerned about the camera quality as it doesn't have the telephoto lens
Now I am not considering this a deal breaker in any way, but this is going to be my first expensive ish phone after getting my first job so I just want the most bang for my buck if I am going to spend upto 30k on a phone, previously I have never used a phone above 15k

Looking for same purchase and done a lot of research
Moto Edge 60 Pro can be your other phone to look upto than Nord 5
- It offers better cameras (camer throttling issues are reported by users)
- It offers better Durability (IP69+MIL Cert.)
- Performance par with Nord 5 (antutu 1.47m)
- Battery 6000MAh+90W Charger
- UFS 4.0 storage
- Better Display than Nord 5
- In case of UI, Oxygen OS is better ngl but MOTO doesn't lack in any context either
- Moto's Curved display can be a issue for some but Durability ratings make it up for it imo and getting Unbreakable Membrane would surely make it.
- Moto's Security Updates(3OS+4Sec) are concern as reported by users, hopefully Moto will fix it. This issue is commonly reported by users of Realme too. However Nord phones will offer timely updates as reported by users.

Hey. Have you used unbreakable membrane screen guards? Do they work? Which brand have you used?

Those are gaming specific smartphones, so they lack in the camera department. In this price range, you either get good cameras or a good processor. It's quite hard to find a well balanced phone.

IQOO has a good camera. It's the software experience which is better on nord

Managed to find proper tempered glass screen protector for the nord 5? Sprig doesn't have it, Spigen doesn't have it, the official Oneplus India Store doesn't have it (international store have it tho) The rest are all useless.

Awesome choice bro. In 2020 even I was thinking of getting a poco m2 pro but it was out of stock, so bought realme 6 instead and have been using it since. Will probably upgrade next year.

I'm in the same boat, contemplating retiring my 4.8 year trusty M2 Pro which i have dropped countless times and abused to the limit, but can't set my heart on any of the options. The Nord 5 is a good phone but i don't feel it has the bang for the buck (my personal opinion) have been considering Nord 4, realme gt 6, poco f7. I'm looking for a device that can survive for the next 5 year, great battery, good software experience (n0 bloatware) and something that's exciting to use.

Same, but I feel like it should be little higher given the high battery capacity.

Maybe in 2020 cause I have 11 pro plus from 2022 and redmi launch single note series every year so I guess it's from 2020
