All three phones share the same MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC under the hood. This means that users will get great day-to-day performance. For gaming, it would be interesting to see how the OnePlus Nord 2 performs considering it has worked closely with MediaTek to optimise the overall performance. The Realme X7 Max (Review) offers a great gaming experience. If you are a Battlegrounds Mobile India player, you get the option to play the game in 90FPS on this one. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is missing on the other two phones.
Our Poco F3 GT review is in the works, but our first impressions make us want to recommend this one for the gamer in you. The performance is not just smooth but what adds up is the trigger buttons that are customisable. More on this in our review dropping soon.
In terms of display, the Nord 2 lags behind. It gets a 90Hz display compared to 120Hz AMOLED on the Poco F3 GT and the Realme X7 Max. All three phones pack a solid battery pack with fast charging support.
OnePlus Nord 2 runs Oxygen OS 11.3 out of the box and is assured to get 2 years of software upgrades and three years of security - something the competition has not promised. It also gets the same 50MP Sony IMX766 camera found on the flagship OnePlus 9 (Review) series.
All in all, the three smartphones under Rs 30,000 offer great value for money, at least on paper. It all boils down to your preferences and requirements. If you want a 3.5mm headphone jack, the Realme X7 Max is a clear winner. Poco F3 GT offers a premium design with customisable Maglev triggers as an add-on. OnePlus Nord 2, lastly, bets with great hardware coupled with the readability of Oxygen OS 11.
