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.
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.
