Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
The OnePlus Nord N100 is an inexpensive smartphone that certainly looks high-quality. The color-accurate 90 Hz display, the long battery life, stereo speakers, a decent camera, and fast storage are definitely a good offer at a price of less than 200 Euros. However, when it comes to its low-cost smartphones, OnePlus even drops some of its previously sacred certainties, which could definitely upset fans of the brand.

The N100 handles basic tasks such as web browsing and streaming Netflix with ease. There's an ever-so-slight lag when opening apps or using the keyboard, but it's not at all bothersome. Like the G Play, the N100 packs a 5,000mAh battery for plenty of on-screen time. The rear camera module has a 13MP wide-angle lens and 2MP depth and macro sensors.
