The OnePlus Nord N100 (no 5G here) is the entry-level offering, it’s price starts at € 200/£ 180 for a phone with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage (UFS 2.1). But again, storage is easily expandable with a cheap microSD card. This phone is based on the Snapdragon 460 chipset, a budget 11nm chip with Cortex-A73 derived cores and an Adreno 610.
The N100 has a 6.52” IPS LCD with 720 x
1,600 px resolution (and standard refresh rate). The display is again guarded
by Gorilla Glass 3. Like the N10, this one has stereo speakers and a
rear-mounted fingerprint reader.
OnePlus decided to focus on a longer
battery life for this model, its power cell has 5,000 mAh capacity, at the
expense of charging speed, which goes up to only 18W (given the extra capacity,
Warp would have been nice). On the plus side, a 3.5 mm jack is present on this
model as well.
This phone is equipped with a 13MP main
camera, so photography is fairly basic. It’s technically a triple camera,
though 67% of that is a dedicated macro lens and a depth sensor (both 2 MP).
Video recording is capped at 1080p/30 fps for both front and back camera. The
front camera has an 8 MP sensor.
Both the Nord N100 and the N10 are
launching with OxygenOS 10.5. It’s still based on Android 10, but features the
latest proprietary enhancements from OnePlus. The phones are coming to Europe
early next month and will go on the other side of the pond soon.
