OnePlus Nord N10 5g Price Review

5

If you’re looking for a 5G phone that delivers a solid feature set and doesn’t break the bank, the Nord N10 5g is a great choice. It offers a fast 90Hz display and 30W charging that aren’t typically found at this price point.

The N10 5g is a good value for the money, but it’s still not without its drawbacks. Those include an average camera and limited plans for Android updates.

Display

The OnePlus Nord N10 5g Price has an impressive list of specifications, including a fast-refresh display and 5G connectivity. It also comes with a curvy design, a headphone jack, and a fingerprint sensor that works quickly.

The 6.49-inch IPS display has a resolution of 2,400 by 1,080 pixels (406ppi). It’s slightly less punchy than an AMOLED screen, but it’s still bright and sharp and the 90Hz refresh rate made scrolling through feeds and apps feel zippy.

OnePlus’ OxygenOS is clean, responsive, and easy to use. It’s based on Android 10 and has a lot of customization options to customize its look and feel. It’s not a huge departure from the Android experience on Google’s Pixel phones, but it does have some interesting features that make it stand out.

Camera

The OnePlus Nord N10 5g Price is a bit of an oddball, with the design combining elements from a range of the company’s other mobiles. It also brings the return of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, which we’ve not seen on a OnePlus phone since early 2018.

The camera is a bit mixed, with the 64MP f/1.79 main shooter on the back capable of pixel-binning (combining four pixels’ worth of data into one to iron out noise, shake, and other issues) into 16MP stills by default. However, it does have a dedicated option to capture at full resolution if you want.

The camera is well-suited for taking photos in daylight, but the results are hit or miss at night. In general, the N10 5g’s photo quality is on par with a mid-range smartphone, although the bokeh on portrait shots can look a little clunky.

Battery

The Nord N10 5g Price is a budget-end mid-range smartphone that offers plenty of perks from the company’s flagship line. These include a 90Hz display, fast 30W charging, and enviable battery life.

OnePlus also ships the Nord N10 5g with OxygenOS, a version of Android 10 based on OnePlus’ own overlay. It has a few caveats, though, like multitasking that lags when you have more than a few apps open at once.

But otherwise, the performance is smooth and responsive. In Adobe Rush video editing tests, it was able to convert a 4K video in just over two minutes and 11 seconds.

Its 4,300mAh battery isn’t the biggest in its class – that title goes to the Pixel 4a 5G – but it will still last a day on a single charge. OnePlus’ optimized charging feature tracks when you’re using the phone and limits how much of it is charged in the short term. This helps prolong the life of the battery and ensures you have power on hand in case of an emergency.

Performance

If you’re a fan of OnePlus’s snappy hardware at a budget price, the Nord N10 5g is a great value pick. It has a nice screen, a capable camera, and clean OxygenOS software.

The 6.49-inch display on the Nord N10 5g is one of its big draws, boasting a faster 90Hz refresh rate than most phones at this price point, meaning smoother animations and transitions. However, the LCD panel doesn’t hit the same peak brightness levels as competing OLED models.

The N10 5g’s camera also performs reasonably well, taking crisp shots with a bright and detailed background. However, the night mode struggles to keep subjects sharp and it often fails to apply depth effects around them.
