OnePlus Nord N10

Product Overview
OnePlus Nord N10 5G is an affordable smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 690 5G platform. Rare for this year, the Nord N10 5G comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as microSD expandability.
Unlike the OnePlus Nord, which features high-end components at a similar price point, the Nord N10 comes with a less compelling feature set: It is equipped with 6GB of LPDDR4x memory and 128GB of UFS2.1 storage, and it only uses an IPS display in replace of an OLED unit.
Nonetheless, the Nord N10 5G still offers 5G connectivity and a four-camera setup, including a 64MP main unit.
Alongside the Nord N10, OnePlus also introduced a bare-bones smartphone, the Nord N100.

Reviewer score 56% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nord 10 5G offers Sub-6 5G connectivity, but not the superfast mmWave that carriers like Verizon have been touting. It has a 64-megapixel main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 5MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. I really wish OnePlus would do away with the macro lens — it's useless. If you're willing to give up 5G support, then it's worth getting the Google Pixel 4a instead.
Pros
- Solid performance for the money
- Solid build quality
- Good battery life
Cons
- No telephoto lens
- No 5G support

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nord N10 5G has been a trusty companion over my week or so of testing. The display, while short of OLED quality, is great at this price. Oxygen OS 10.5.3 is one of the best Android 10 skins around. It adds useful tools without bogging down Google's streamlined OS with extraneous features.
Pros
- Premium design
- Excellent battery life
- Fast charging
- Solid performance
Cons
- Mediocre cameras
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)The OnePlus Nord N10 5G does not come with any IP certification. It's a shame that this back will probably soon be ruined by scratches and covered with fingerprints. As for the 16-megapixel selfie cam, I would say that its performance is par for the course where mid-range smartphones are concerned.
Pros
- 90 Hertz display
- Good battery life
- Decent camera performance
Cons
- No IP certification
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 56% (normalized by Neofiliac)The N10 5G features the new 5G-capable Snapdragon 690. With 6 GB of RAM, the mid-range CPU offers a solid level of system performance. The smartphone feels smooth most of the time, but under high load, the system can become unresponsive. Users can also connect wired headphones to the smartphone via the 3-5mm jack.
Pros
- 90-Hz display
- Good battery life
- Good cameras
Cons
- Mediocre camera performance
- No IP certification

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)On the back of the N10 you'll find a quad camera stack. The primary and ultra-wide lenses perform well in good light. The N10's cameras are not on par with the more expensive Pixel 4a 5G or even the iPhone SE. If you're looking to take the best photos possible, you'll need to pay more for the privilege.
Pros
- Beautiful 90Hz display
- Good battery life
- 90Hz refresh rate
Cons
- No wireless charging
- No headphone jack

Reviewer score 56% (normalized by Neofiliac)The is meant to offer the OnePlus experience at a lower price since the company's flagships have slowly moved out of reach for many fans of the brand. In the States, the N10 comes with a killer price tag: $299. The quality of the display is quite good, the images are sharp, the colors are vivid and it gets plenty bright if you need it to.
Pros
- 90Hz display
- Good battery life
- 90Hz refresh rate
Cons
- Mediocre cameras
- No notification slider
techradar[7]
Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nord N10 5G is a 5G phone, with connectivity to sub-6 5G networks. It's one of the first 5G-capable phones we've tested running the Snapdragon 690 chipset. The camera can shoot 4K video at 30fps and super-slow motion in 240fps at up to 720p. It takes decent but rarely impressive portrait photos.
Pros
- Solid performance
- Good battery life
- Decent cameras
Cons
- No telephoto lens
- No wireless charging

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)The N10 5G is a very cheap 5G phone with a big screen and decent all-around performance. The main camera is just fine in decent lighting — good, even, considering this is a $300 phone. Dual speakers provide stereo sound for videos, but audio quality isn't great. For an above average camera, look at the Google Pixel 4a.
Pros
- Good battery life
- Decent all-around performance
- Good cameras
Cons
- No telephoto camera
- Mediocre low-light camera

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)The latest Nord features a 4,300 mAh battery, which helped power it one of the best results on our battery test that we've seen from a 5G phone. Only the LG V60 ThinQ 5G, Motorola Edge, and Galaxy S20 Plus lasted longer. The Nord N10 5G uses the company's OxygenOS software which is built on top of Android.
Pros
- Fast 5G performance
- Compact design
- Good battery life
Cons
- No in-display fingerprint sensor
- No headphone jack

Reviewer score 50% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nord N10 5G doesn’t feature anything close to the behemoth 6000mAh battery seen in the Moto G9 Power. Instead, it’s powered by a 4300mAh cell. During testing, I found it offered solid battery life and would generally last between one to two day's use from a single charge. The main 64-megapixel sensor works better, and is capable of taking usable photos in regular light. However, the lack of any stabilisation means you’ll need a steady hand while shooting.
Pros
- Bright 90Hz display
- Solid battery life
- Decent cameras
Cons
- Poor low-light camera performance
- Poor battery life
