 The OnePlus Nord is one of the most-anticipated smartphones of the year. Even if you’re not a tech enthusiast, you probably must have heard of it, all thanks to the hype created by the company. The plot got even thicker when its price was announced — was it the new best smartphone under Rs 30,000 in India?

Nord is an all-new series from OnePlus that is meant to give users a premium software and hardware experience at an affordable price. In many ways, it marks OnePlus return to the segment where it started its journey years ago. For its first tango with a mid-ranger, OnePlus seems to tick the right boxes, and even manages to be the cheapest in the market for some of these additions.

The OnePlus Nord is not a compromised phone at any angle. It offers extremely satisfying performance in all the major aspects of the phone and more often than not, it comes out as a winner. 

In India, it goes against popular offerings such as the Realme X3 and the Redmi K20 Pro, smartphones which were the price champions for their time. However, OnePlus’s software-first approach shows that not all Android battles can be won via brute force.

 Positives:

     1)  OxygenOS software

     2)  Swift user experience

     3)  Good main camera

     4)  Quick charging

     5)  High quality 90Hz AMOLED display


  Negatives:

      1)  Poor supplementary cameras

      2)   No wireless charging

      3)   No microSD slot

      4)  12GB option is a tough sell

      5)  Struggles with certain 3D games


   Rating :

      1)  Battery :  7

      2)  Display :  8

      3)  Camera :  6

      4)  Performance:  7

      5)  Software: 9

      6)  Design: 8


   Bottom Line:

    The OnePlus Nord is a compact smartphone that offers the smoothest smartphone experience at this price, even with the compromises OnePlus had to make to lower the price.

  - written by Rupan Ghosh, ECE 3rd Year, KGEC   PCB is short for a printed circuit board, which is an important part of today's electronic equipment. Basically, a PCB comprises tons of active and passive components and these parts are connected with traces on the circuit board. Therefore, this technique allows the development of huge circuits on small boards.  These circuit boards offer a lot of advantage. Therefore, they are an ideal choice for the producers of different types of equipment, instruments and electronic components. Let's take a look at some major advantages of printed circuit boards.   1. Compact Size   Simple PCB can host a large number of tiny components. These components are interconnected with the help of copper tracks rather than regular wires. As a result, it is possible to connect hundreds of components without worrying about the size of the circuit board.   Generally, these components are small. Therefore, connecting these components with each
