OnePlus isn’t among the best-known Android phones on the U.S. market; however, it’s made a name for itself as a reliable option when you’re not looking to pay for one of the big players. The OnePlus Nord N30 5G is a fine example of how the Chinese-based brand has enamored users and caters to a broader range of consumers looking for comparable performance at an appropriate price.
Stocked with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, 128GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM, this 6.5-inch Android device is made for pulling off the basic tasks you need without a hiccup. It’s even powerful enough for gaming, which you may want to take advantage of considering the big, beautiful 2,400-by-1,080 pixel, 240Hz response screen.
Where OnePlus saves some money is in its camera, which is fine for its $300 price tag but won’t win you any awards. The 108MP main lens is great for a budget device, though low-light photography is not its strong point.
You may enjoy the 5,000mAh battery, which should last about 12 hours at moderate use. For a budget phone, it’s not bad, but the lack of wireless charging is certainly disappointing.
