OnePlus is displaying off a brand new low-end smartphone, the OnePlus Nord N300 5G. This is a $228 telephone you may get at T-Mobile beginning November 3. The highlights embody a surprisingly good-looking design for this value level, 33 W charging, and a 90 Hz show.
First up: specs. The SoC is a MediaTek Dimensity 810. That means a 6 nm chip with two 2.4 GHz Cortex A76 cores, six 2 GHz, Cortex A55 cores, and an ARM Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. There’s 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 5000 mAh battery. The show is a 6.56-inch, 1,612×720, 90 Hz “HD+” show. A 90 Hz show on a telephone this low cost sounds spectacular, however this telephone’s predecessor, the Nord N200, did not have the ability to reliably ship 90 frames per second to the 1080p show, making it a little bit of a waste. The downgrade to 720p (and possibly a barely sooner SoC) means OnePlus may really hit 90 FPS this 12 months, nevertheless it’s not clear the decision drop will likely be value that.
33 W charging means it will cost sooner than an $1,100 iPhone. There’s a aspect fingerprint reader within the energy button, and also you get a microSD slot, NFC, and a headphone jack. For cameras, you get one rear 48MP primary digital camera and a just-for-looks 2MP “depth” digital camera. The entrance digital camera is 8MP. The telephone ships with Android 13, and OnePlus’ standard replace timeline for these low cost telephones is one main replace and three years of semi-regular safety updates.
Low-end smartphones are often styled to be as generic and forgettable as attainable, however the N300 comes with surprisingly attractiveness. The entire telephone is squared-off like an iPhone 4, with straight sides and chamfered edges. The digital camera block is handsome, too, with extra chamfered edges, sq. sides, and a two-tone shade scheme. It’s much more design work than you’d usually get at this value level. We’re nonetheless not enormous followers of the teardrop entrance digital camera, nevertheless it’s a price range telephone.
