The OnePlus Nord N30 5G touts an impressive list of specs and features for just $300. But is it actually worth your time? We used the budget phone to find out.
OnePlus Nord N30 5G MSRP $299.99 Score Details DT Recommended Product “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.” Pros Cons You have $300 to spend, and you need a new smartphone. What’s a person to do? If you ask OnePlus, it thinks you should buy its new Nord N30 5G.
Also surprising are the dual stereo speakers. They’re loud, have a decent amount of depth, and even sound a bit better than the $800 Motorola Edge Plus . It’s a small detail, but one I really appreciate.I also appreciate two features we rarely see on smartphones today: a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot for expandable storage . The OnePlus Nord N30 5G has them both, and although I personally don’t use either one that much, it’s a big deal for people who do want those things.
That’s especially true of the 120Hz refresh rate. 120Hz screens are commonplace on much more expensive phones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Google Pixel 7 Pro, but getting one on a $300 smartphone is a treat. And it looks great on the Nord N30. Scrolling through apps and menus is buttery smooth, and it adds an overall sense of speed to the phone that I genuinely wasn’t expecting. The refresh rate is also adaptive, so it can scale back when you don’t need all that speed .
Previous Next 1 of 8 Having a 108MP camera sounds impressive on paper, but in reality, it’s actually quite disappointing. Photos taken with the 108MP main camera often look terribly bland, with no character to speak of. It takes photos, but not particularly good ones. A lot of this is due to the lack of OIS. Even in a brightly-lit setting, it’s far too easy to get blurry, out-of-focus shots with the Nord N30. And when the lights go down, expect to see a lot of noise and a lot of blur.
Keeping the phone powered up is a 5,000mAh battery, and in my testing, it’s enough for about a day and a half of use per charge — sometimes two days with lighter use. A typical day with the Nord N30 5G goes like this: I start using the phone at 8:00 a.m. with 100% battery, and after racking up 3 hours and 30 minutes of screen-on time, I get to about 10:40 or 11:00 p.m. with more than 40% battery remaining.
OxygenOS 13 has come a long way since the horrid days of its initial beta, and although it’s still not my personal favorite Android interface, it works well on the Nord N30. OxygenOS 13 is smooth, responsive, and offers ample features to keep you busy.
