OnePlus Nord N30 5G review: the best $300 smartphone in 2023?

Announced at the beginning of June, the OnePlus Nord N30 5G drives a hard bargain on paper. You get a 120Hz display, a huge 5,000mAh battery, fast 50W wired charging, plus features like expandable storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack — all for just $300....

Nice in-hand feel Headphone jack and expandable storage 120Hz display looks great Good, reliable performance 50W charger in the box

Bland, smudge-prone design Very poor camera quality Only promised a single OS update

The Nord N30 5G doesn't have a great camera or a good update policy, but for just $300, it's one of the better phones you can get at this price.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G review

The Nord N30 5G is the latest entry in the Nord N line but is far from an unfamiliar device. The Nord N30 5G is actually the US device name for the...

Thin, attractive design and sturdy build quality.

No OnePlus alert slider.

However, having said all that, we still don't think the Nord N30 5G is a disappointment. Seeing how the US market has limited options in this price range, the Nord N30 does have a fairly decent market standing. We wouldn't recommend you actively go out...

OnePlus Nord N30 5G Review

OnePlus launches Android phones for less money than many competitors. The $299 OnePlus Nord N30 5G comes with features you don't expect to see on a budget phone, such as rapid charging, a high-resolution camera, and a speedy screen. It's in a...

High-resolution camera Good performance 120Hz display

Middling battery life No IP rating

Anyone in the market for a $300 smartphone should shortlist the OnePlus Nord N30 5G. It packs a fantastic camera, solid real-world performance, and a nice, bright display.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G Review: A $300 Phone Overachiever

The OnePlus Nord N30 5G makes quite the first impression. OnePlus has stacked its $300 phone with features you simply don't see at this price. The phone's 108-megapixel main camera is the headline feature as far as the spec list is concerned, but the...

Truly fast charging Large 120Hz refresh rate screen NFC for contactless payments

Mixed photography Short software update timeline

Overall the OnePlus N30's camera system performs well compared to other new phones in the $200 to $300 price range. But with the Pixel 6A's price often dipping into that range, it's now a competitive option that the OnePlus has to contend with, and the...

Review: OnePlus Nord N30 5G

Yet another decent $300 Android phone that doesn't break the mold.

Two-day battery life. Good performance. Nice 120-Hz screen. Loud stereo speakers. Includes a headphone jack, microSD slot, and NFC for contactless payments. Speedy charging. Works on all major US carriers. Three years of security updates.

Cameras don't impress. Will get only one OS update. Screen downgrade from its predecessor. Weak haptics.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G review: midrange performance, budget phone problems

The OnePlus Nord N30 5G is a good budget phone, even if it's not quite the phone I wanted it to be.

Great performance from Snapdragon 695 chipset ; Battery goes at least a day, often longer ; Fast charging for a quick emergency boost

Uneven camera performance ; Screen lacks contrast, can be hard to see in direct sunlight ; Only scheduled for one OS upgrade

That said, if the Pixel 6A isn’t quite within reach or T-Mobile is offering you a free N30, I think it’s a fine option. It’s a lot of phone for the money — even if it’s not quite everything it could be.

OnePlus Nord N30 5G Review: Somehow Lesser Than Its Predecessors - SlashGear

The OnePlus Nord N30 5G seems like it should be a decent deal for its price, but with a few key drawbacks, it may not end up fulfilling its promises.

The screen is nice and large ; Decent chipset ; All day battery life

Worse biometrics than its predecessor ; Cameras aren't great ; The audio isn't what it claims to be

OnePlus Nord N30 5G Review: A $300 Phone Overachiever

There simply aren't any other $300 phones with 50-watt charging, but the 108-megapixel camera doesn't perform any miracles.

Truly fast charging ; Large 120Hz refresh rate screen ; NFC for contactless payments

Mixed photography ; Short software update timeline

OnePlus Nord N30 5G review: The best phone for less than $300

The OnePlus Nord N30 5G delivers a lot of value for less than $300, thanks to its long-lasting battery and big 120Hz display. If you're on a limited budget, this phone deserves your consideration.

Still, the Nord N30 delivers in other ways, chiefly its superb battery and expansive display that also supports a fast-refresh rate. If you'd rather have a long-lasting device than a more consistent camera phone, the Nord N30 is an excellent choice...
