Hardware is nice and all, but how is the software? The 2020 Nord 10 I had was way too eager to kill any background processes, and had a very bad bug consuming all storage space.
I assume the bootloader will be unlockable, being a OnePlus?

Haven't they been backing away from that recently?
What did they think?
256 GB of UFS 3.1 flash is standard in this price range, but the one found here is actually a downgrade from its predecessor, which had faster UFS 4.0 storage. OnePlus has also cut corners on the RAM, offering only 8 GB instead of the 12 GB housed inside the previous generation's OnePlus Nord 4.
LOL. Smaller battery, too. What exactly is an upgrade from the previous version? They went from a SD 7+ Gen 3 to an 8s Gen 3, which is barely an upgrade at all.
I'm sure the price comparisons will vary based on country, but I've seen the OnePlus 13R below $500 pretty routinely on oneplus.com this year. Right now it's $550 but if I remember right, it was cheaper at launch and a few times since.

Didn't you read the headline? It has a premium feel. I know when I buy products, the first thing I look for is what kind of feeling it gives me. Bonus points if that feeling is an abstract concept.
I know you are being sarcastic, but that is pretty much how many people buy phones and cars. It's a gas guzzler with barely 20MPG, requires premium gasoline, is unreliable and can only be serviced at specific dealerships for a top dollar? But it has a premium feel
The entire luxury market would not exist otherwise.
