OnePlus Nord is the brand’s first-ever mid-range handset after the OnePlus X from 2015. It is also the most hyped device of 2020. Further, it is also probably the only smartphone released this year to get 5 system updates with various bug fixes within a month of its release. Despite that, certain users are reporting Bluetooth connectivity issue on their units.
Due to its immense popularity, OnePlus Nord is criticized for its plastic frame, which made it fail the JerryRigEverything durability test. Many users are also reporting display tint issue on their units. Now, adding to that list, another set of users are experiencing problems with Bluetooth.
According to users on OnePlus Community, Reddit, and Twitter, the Bluetooth on OnePlus Nord drops connection within a few minutes of pairing. Thus, users can neither listen to music nor have proper calls on their wireless earphones.
One of the users even pointed out (via PiunikaWeb) that he is facing the issue only when his phone is connected to 2.4GHz WiFi. Whereas, on 5GHz WFi, Bluetooth works as usual.
It is worth noting that OnePlus Nord is not the only smartphone from the company to be plagued by Bluetooth issue. A few users of OnePlus 5/5T and OnePlus 6 also faced similar issues a couple of years back.
The brand is yet to acknowledge the issue. Only then, we will know if it can be fixed via software update or affected users will get a free repair service/replacement unit.
