Battle of Susa

The Battle of Susa was a battle involving Assyrians and Elamites. The Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, had grown tired of the Elamites' attacks on the Mesopotamians, and he decided to destroy Susa as punishment.
In 647 BC, the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal leveled the city during a war in which the people of Susa apparently participated on the other side. A tablet unearthed in 1854 by Austen Henry Layard in Nineveh reveals Ashurbanipal as an "avenger", seeking retribution for the humiliations the Elamites had inflicted on the Mesopotamians over the centuries. Ashurbanipal dictates Assyrian retribution after his successful siege of Susa:

Camera app.
There are many modes available, such as Portrait Mode, which makes the background blurry, Cine Aspect Ratio to record video in 21:9 (cinematic) aspect ratio, and Nightscape Mode, which is similar to other smartphones in its price range, which lets the user take brighter pictures at low light environments. There is a 2x zoom icon that, when pressed, zooms the images in by 2x (digital zoom), and if flicked, will reveal a wheel that scrolls up to 10x. The 2x zoom images look good outdoors; else, the image will be dark and have noise. The 10x zoom images have decent detail in outdoor lighting. There are problems with the time it takes to switch from one camera to another, and that Nightscape Mode doesn't work in the ultrawide camera. Android Authority reported that the denoising processing ruined all pictures captured with the phone. The OnePlus Nord tends to make skins brighter, smoother, and more yellow, which is common for OnePlus devices.

Reception.
The OnePlus Nord received positive pre-release reviews from CNET reviewer Andrew Hoyle, citing the good specifications, 5G capability, and the affordability. They criticized the phone's lack of IP rating.
TechRadar reviewer John McCann recommended the phone to those who want a flagship-like experience but at affordable prices, affordable 5G phone, and want flexibility when taking images. They discouraged purchase by those who want water resistance, get many notifications, and want a long-lasting phone that lasts two days without a charge.
GSMArena rated the phone positive from initial impressions with the phone because of the flagship-like design and build, good screen, good performance, and bloatware-free OS. They criticized the lack of space for the notification bar, lack of IP rating, and lack of a headphone jack.
OnePlus Nord received positive reviews from Tom's Guide reviewer Richard Priday, citing its many cameras, 90 Hz display, great design for a mid-range phone, and excellent battery life. They criticized the macro camera, the average performance, the lack of wireless charging, and the fact that OnePlus Nord won't be coming to the United States.
The Verge reviewer Jon Porter recommended the phone to the vast majority of customers, with some minor caveats, like the mono, downward-firing, low bass, speaker, and the 90 Hz refresh rate screen not being fully utilized because of the not-quite-flagship processor.
In India, Beebom recommended the phone to every customer except those who play resource-demanding games, citing its all-round specs, good display, design, and the main rear and front (both primary and ultrawide) cameras. He experienced issues with noise in the macro camera.
