It was almost cartoony like with very heavy color saturation. Now I know to look for a different screen type like this Nord offers.
PWM sensitivity effects about ten percent of the population and the rest think you are insane. I've had to return brand new high end tv's for the same reason. You have to look far and wide for screens that don't have horrible PWM. Do some youtube research on it. There are quite a few videos on the subject. @@longdongbongchong
Same bro Samsung and google are baiscly the only popular android brands and they are overrated. So its nice to see oneplus get more popular their phones are so underrated
Do you have any hiccups with app loading? I got an N20 and thinking about upgrading. My N20 sometimes pauses and then closes apps when I try to open them.
@@BillyRayCoolAF No my n30 is perfect. No hiccups or lags at all, I highly recommend switching to the n30. Even if it's a small upgrade its way faster than the n20.
I got a chance to play with this. And I like it. For the price and features, the Nord series pretty much brings back what One Plus originally stood for when they started. Flagship performance for an affordable price, even though it doesn't use a flagship processor. Not to mention, micro sd expansion, a physical finger print scanner combined with the power switch, a headphone jack, and fast charging, which also makes up for the lack of wireless charging, which I personally can live with out. It may not use an OLED, but that can prevent pulse width modulation and contribute longer battery life.
I have this phone & really enjoy it. I've had flagship phones & budget phones over the years. But this a much better phone than the $300 asking price. I do miss LG phones was a big fan of the Stylo series phones.
I loved my stylos! I had 1, 4, and 6. I'm still somewhat devastated they're gone! That's why I'm looking at this; I'm still searching for my LG equivalent. 😂 Do you still like this phone?
I think OnePlus is a great choice for the US market, especially when there are only 4 other OEM phones and they are expensive. I had my first oneplus 6 for 4 years and now my kids are using it. I was able to upgrade to my OnePlus 9 pro last year from best buy at the huge black Friday discount
It kills me every time I hear someone say you will be wiping the back or you'll never keep it clean or its slick as Teflon. Have none of y'all ever heard of a case. There are cases made that are not meant to protect but just keep fingerprints and dirt etc off the device. I have what i consider two OP flagship phones. 10Pro and 11. The 10t is no slouch, nor are the Nord3 or Nord N 30. Just different levels for different needs and budgets. You also say that the n30 is going on 2 Years olds which is not true. The snapdragon chip was released almost 2 years ago. But the phone was released in June 2023. Even with a near two year old chip is works very well.
What a lame take. The guy is doing a review on the phone. You have a problem with him talking about the physical characteristics of it? I guess critical thinking isn't your strong suit?
i wished they'd release the more premium lineup of the nord series like the nord 3 or nord ce 3 in the USA, i really feel like it would help people from having to choose budget(ish) phones or flagship phones, and getting the premium midrange-like standard set by the s20 fe, and would be really popular.
Wider availability for the Nord CE 3 would be highly appreciated. It's a pretty interesting device, with the upper midrange Snapdragon processor, an ultrawide lens, and expandable storage.
@@mark_uI can't believe people aren't more considered about audio output. The camera fetish is strangely obsessive.. I read Sony has best speaker & audio,then One Nord. I never really knew of this brand. Any recommendations for a great ,loud stereo experience?
Yeah OnePlus would take over the US market if they were allowed to! They are stuck to Metro and T-Mobile and are always skipped when you go there! They either show you the cheapest or most expensive! These usually get skipped unless the person knows about them, or that's all they have left!
I dont wish for OLED displays in-fact, I wish there were more flagship devices with an LCD IPS panels - I am PWM sensitive and I cannot use any OLED devices without having terrible migraines for days. Great review though.
I got this to replace a moto G stylus 5G and I am thus far very happy with its performance. Got the OnePlus sandstone-textured bumper case for it both to prevent scratches and fingerprints on the shiny chromatic grey finish, and to make the phone easier to keep a grip on. Between the charger, thick red cable and the smiley-face SIM tool, nice package. Agree that the camera is lackluster, but overall performance is crisp and responsive, and OxygenOS is nicely free of bloatware unlike say, Samsung. Good phone for
You said you had a Motorola 5G stylus. I have no idea what's going on with Motorola phones but the amount of bloat wear is insane. On top of that there's at least 20 apps just for the Moto phone. Somehow over the years of upgrading phones, I have 400 something system apps including doubles. I was just wondering if anybody had these issues also?
Yeah. Got tne N30. My LG G8x was ready to retire with my battery in bad shape. Also no updates of any kind. Including security. This is about as close to the LG phones were with a lot of features. Cannot use the Samsung A series phones with the Meditak processors. Very good budget phone. Got mine for $234.00 a few weeks ago. I always use Nova Launcher on any phone i get and it is fast. The 8 gb ram is what allows this. Will get Android 14 and 3 years of security updates. Alright with me for less that $250. And with a snapdragon processor.
Oneplus does have a nice opportunity to step up and fill LG's missing space, but they don't appear to be trying very hard. Motorola is trying, but failing, for the most part. Only the Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 is worth writing home about this year. Pixel phones are overpriced and glitchy. The Pixel 7A should be $399. I wish LG would come back and innovate and bring back creativity to the increasingly boring smartphone market!
God do I miss LG smartphones,I wish I could've gotten the LG X Power smartphone instead of the LG X Charge smartphone but I am straight with Motorola now,Most Motorola smartphones might be terrible & garbage but they are very good smartphones in my eye's,just waiting for my payments to come out of my roku streaming apps so I can retire my Moto G Power 2021 smartphone and upgrade to the Moto G Stylus 5g 2023 smartphone
@@Terranwilliamson1745 I agree! I have the last one they made, the LG V60 Fold. It is hands down the best smart phone I've ever owned! Or was. I dropped it and i didn't have it in its protective double screen so the back shattered and came off exposing everything. The battery is swollen and I can't make or answer calls because the speaker got wet and no one can hear me. LG phones can really take alot of damage before not working. I was never going to get any other smart phone again except LG. I have to get another phone tomorrow.. I can't afford a big payment but I'm not excited about any phone they have now. WHYYYY LG!? WHY!? Come back to us! 😢
I have had the N10 since it came out in 2020 and aside from taking it everywhere and the outside of my case and screen protector showing where and tear the phone still runs beautifully I don't even really not much lag on anything I need on a regular basis. I mostly only only looking to upgrade now because I just heard about the new N30 and I'm like hm maybe I'll upgrade. Upgrade and keep my N10 as a back up phone you can never have to many of those.
This is actually what I want from a phone as an Apple user, I never liked the lack of headphone jacks and I always love SD card compatibility with androids compared to Apple. I might genuinely buy this when I get a new phone
Agreed. I am a stickler for the headphone jack and SD card slot and it is a shame samsung has been doing away with these features. I have been looking into the Moto Stylus too, which seems like a solid cell phone. Too bad there are not a whole lot of other brands in the US. The US cell phone market seems very rigged!
I'm considering buying this phone. My current phone on its last legs is a Nokia 7.1 which was in the same price range and has performed excellently the last 5 years. You say you don't expect to use this for 4 or 5 years because it's not flagship, but I probably will. Love all the features that most phones ignore (3.5mm jack, etc.) as well as lack of bloatware, that's what I love about my Nokia 7.1. But new Nokia offerings are meh, so I've looked and found this to be a serious candidate. I would buy the Pixel 6a were it not for the lack of headphone jack (huge dealbreaker).
I went from samsung to the oneplus 12 a few months ago and im so glad I did. I also discovered recenly that if I leave it in airplane mode with other connections turned off (wifi and bluetooth), the phone pretty much doesn't lose power, particularly when it's locked. Mine has stayed at 100% for over 9 hours multiple times. (I've been on vacation in a different country, that's why I've had all the connections turned off).
This phone is great. The performance in the SD695 is still very fast on day to day tasks. As long as you dont game, its perfect in efficiency and regular performance. The cameras, charging, and design is also great
Thinking of going from a iPhone 13 Pro Max to the n30.. my late android was a one plus n30 and I just want something that has sd cards, aux ans usb c with a decent camera.
the only thing missing on this device, is a water-repellant coating, a rating like that on the Motorola phones, and probably durability too. will have to see. great phone though.
I currently have a Galaxy a52, had for about years, was in the $500 range when I got it. Definitely a significant upgrade from the $120-$200 phones I typically would buy before. I had a Nord N10 for a few months when it came out a few years back, it was $300, but it was stolen and I just went back to a slight older phone for a few months till I got the a52. I see the a54 in the $450 range and compared to the a52, it seems very incremental. A couple slight tweaks but with a smaller screen for some reason? Now I see the n30 in the $260 range and it seems to be similar to the a52/a54, a few of the specs seem like the As are slightly better yet other specs seems to say the N30 has a slight edge. At the end of the day, all things roughly equal, the n30 does seem to have a small edge. For $200 less, you get a roughly equal or perhaps a tiny bit better phone. At this point are you just paying more for the Samsung name, just paying for something that looks and feels more premium? Or is the Samsung going to hold up more over the long run? A year or year and a half from now will the N30 still be running strong or will its performance atrophy quickly? I mean after 2 years or so the a52 is still running probably 75 or 80% of how it ran brand new. The burn in on the amoled screen is definitely real and at this point it is still only somewhat annoying, not to the point where it's inhibiting use.
I have the Samsung A52. Love the phone. Free with T-Mobile. Nord N30 specs better in a lot of categories except one major item for me. No IP rating. It is not waterproof. Deal breaker for me. Otherwise I would buy it as a budget phone. Motorola customer service is horrible and outsourced, but have decent budget phones when on sale only, with more selections. I own Motorola, Apple, and Samsung. LG was my favorite for personal reasons. Need a upgrade to get more bandwidths for my area on 5g. My A52 T-Mobile only uses 2,66,71 bands. Google Pixel 6 and higher uses all bandwidths for all carriers. 5g, 4g. I just don't like Google phones for the price. Motorola depends on the phone.
Thank you for the review. I just set my N30 up last night to replace a Galaxy s21+ that kept shutting down cuz it said it was overheating. Was going to get the Moto but last minute decided on the N30. Not familiar with everything yet but so far really love the lack of bloatware and the fast charging
I like this handset - it was my burner phone while I had to send in my Google Pixel 6 for accidental damage service. It a great phone to have as a spare. The camera app is ok, but throwing in the GCam from the Pixel will improve photo taking (mostly works).
I currently own a Pixel 7 AND a Motorola Edge 2021. I got the pixel from a family member who didn't like it. After using it for about 6 months, I too didn't care for it. I switched back to the Edge, but am deciding on my next phone. Would the Nord N30 be a good phone to go to?
You really hate Motorola I see. I have the stylus 5g 2023 and I am loving it so far. Very speedy. Battery last all day. Motorola is very good. One android update is horrible but that's okay cause the phone does what I need it to do.
I had the n10 5g a couple years back, it was a banger. The n30 is also a banger. The n30 and the tcl stylus are the best out for cheaper devices that look good and don't make you feel guilty for buying. I'm actually typing on a 2019 Alcatel 3v, my all time favorite "old dog" it's not fast or powerful, but damnit does she turn right on every time and make that phone call. Plus the 3v has an absolutely tablet sized display so watching your video was very 😎
hey. how would you compare the camera to the N30 compared to the camera on the N10? i loved my n10 but it was stolen and now I want to replace it, but I am thinking a more modern model. the camera is super important to me
Photography is all about capturing light. It comes down to sensor size. Cameras will try to game it with smaller pixels/sensor size while upping the resolution to appear impressive or nowadays use AI processing to "improve" the raw image. But reality is only truly captured with larger sensors. Larger sensor will do better in lower light and wider dynamic range (in high contrast). That said, N30 sounds great with high 108MP resolution, but it's only 0.64 micron rear cam (will be tough in low light and high contrast scenes; use a tripod). It's front cam is a much better 1 micron, making it a better cam as a selfie cam. My old Microsoft (Nokia) Lumia 640 XL shot great images especially in its day with 1.15 micron @12MP, Zeiss lens. Still use it to this day. iPhone 14 has 1.7 micron @12MP, while iPhone 15 only has weak 0.8 micron @48MP (lots of AI). Just bought the N30 and will try it out and live with it. Flagships just cost way too much. And I'm no longer into photography anymore anyway. Decent will work now.
NORD is a TOP NOTCH company based in Germany! I know, because I am an automation technician and work with their electrical engineers in Germany. Nord may be new to the phone game but they make industrial electronics and have been in business for 78 years. Cannot go wrong with NORD.....
@@marleneperry6972 The engineering is out of Germany but the phone is manufactured in China. Motorola was the last phone made in the USA and that ended roughly 6yrs ago. It got outsourced to China, along with many, many other manufacturing industries during the so called “Trade War”. China use to make subpar products across the board, so i definitely understand your apprehensive stance, but times have changed. They now have the ability to competitively produce top tier quality electronics, optics & other technical products. China has caught up with the modern world manufacturing. Nearly 70% of smart phones are made in china an the other 30% are spread across other Asian countries, from India, Vietnam, etc, to South Korea. The world has been rapidly changing in the 21st century……
Nice but you got this after the Color OS merge , maybe don't know about you but some of Old One plus lovers won't liek it , It's not bad , I also have a new one plus ( nord ce 3 ) , but since you mention clean os , their old os was much clean, I had a crush on them since their flagship killer era + " never settle " . I really don't appreciate that quote on their new phones after what they have become but hey :)) be a fan of product , not of company.
I love this phone, but what is the deal with the camera? It's the worst camera I've ever had on an Android. The color is constantly shifting because there is no White Balance lock. I also have not found a way to fix it with a video color correction app. I really hope One Plus addresses this in a future software update, as the camera resolution itself is good. If the colors weren't shifting all over the place, it would be perfect.
I'm buying this one tomorrow until I can afford a flagship OnePlus or a ROG phone One of my favourite part is the charging of this phone I download lots of movies PC games on my phone and pass them to my laptop and that drains the battery faster than normal use so a 50 watt charging phone is great for me
One plus has always been a top tier performing phone now with the camera improvements I’ll take this phone over most gaming is next level the battery next level software just as good as any new phone being released today phones a monster hands down.
Thank you for this wonderful review. You've helped me decided in picking this phone. I've been looking for ways to punish Samsung for taking away the SD card and the headphone jack. This is looking like a nice alternative to my current 6 year old Samsung note series
Can you make a OnePlus Nord N300 review? You made an N30 vs N300 comparison, but no N300 review? Can you also make a Nord 3 and a Nord CE 3 review as well please?
Seems near perfect, but it seems too big. That's the one thing stopping me from buying it instantly. I'm active and always want to have it in my pocket while being athletic and stuff.
Hey good review it looks like a decent phone but I think the one negative with this phone as I think it’s only getting one android update so I think 14 and it’s done… I would like to have seen two updates
Yeah I purchased one of these and I've loved it so far but the reason I purchased it was because it was a little cheaper than like one of their flagships and I wanted to really like try out the company because I have a OnePlus 7 pro with the pop-up selfie camera but I never actually used it as a phone itself I just used to take pictures and stuff cuz the camera was great, so I bought this one just to kind of try out one plus and I've loved it so far so after mine's updated to 14 and they're not coming out with any and I decide that it's about time to get a new one that I'm just going to upgrade to one of their flagships😂
@@Jsv_1021O4 oh wow. I had the OnePlus 7 pro back when it first came out. It's probably the coolest phone ever with that pop up front camera. I sold mine but I kind of wish I hadn't. Do you still have the OnePlus7? I was very tempted to get the Nord n30 because of the price , the SD card and the headphone jack. How are you liking the software on it? Cuz it seems like it's more of a colorless now?
@@jejunamjaThe OnePlus 7 Pro was absolutely awesome 😎. Pop up selfie camera and because of that it had like zero notches . I had one and loved it. Now I'm using a OnePlus 10t
The chip in this is literally 2 years older than the chipset in the Motorola G Stylus 5g! I am shocked that Moto released a phone almost better in every aspect! The Moto just starts at 6gigs of RAM instead of 8 but with the Snapdragon 6 gen 1 chipset 6gigs goes further!
What service does everyone have for this phone? Does mint mobile or Verizon work for it? I have heard no and yes. I had xoami but have to get a new phone bc it finally stopped working with simple mobile, sucks bc I love redmi phones
how does this compare to the moto g stylus 2022? i downgraded from a oneplus 7t after i busted the display. i felt a noticeble downgrade in camera quality, responsiveness, and input accuracy. and the finger print censer is just kinda shit. would the nord n30 feel like a step up from the moto g stylus, or would you say it's on par?
I legit bought this phone cuz of the camera only it has a 108mp main camera. I also got mine for a good deal. But yes the camera was not what I was wanting. So this is going to be a back up phone, and I am just going to get a Google pro max 8
The Moto g stylus has the Snapdragon gen 1 and 120 hertz with the same 128 gigs and screen for free at metro! Also has 4k recording!!!!!! Don't get this over the Moto I'm telling you and I love OnePlus
The g stylus camera definitely seems better from my testing so far. Just got the g stylus metro deal but I have to wait 6 months before it unlocks to be able to use on my T-Mobile postpaid plan.
@@selfless-esteem unfortunately the g stylus 2023 camera is better than n30 as far as low light. The n30 is better in all other aspects as I use it over the g stylus
I've had the Nord N20 for almost 3 years now and it's been a fantastic phone for the price. I've used the heck out of it and definitely got my money's worth. It's finally started to have some issues with powering off on its own and connecting phone calls. I LOVE the fast charging and nice charger base and cord that One Plus provides with their new phones. I just bought the N30 off ebay for $190, so based off the video and reviews here I'm going to like the N30 just as much as I've liked the N20. Great value for the price.
Does anyone know if these work for Verizon in the US? I have the Oneplus 8T and it is still holding up, even against the newest 10T/11Pro models. But I want to get the N30's for my parents.
I just got my 12r last weekend, $600 but it's basically a flagship 11 with worse cameras lol. With bluetooth, heavy gaming, youtube, everything else I'm throwing at it. It's consistently getting about 10+ hours of screen on time. Just recommended the Nord 30 to a friend. He's got the a53 right now which seems to be almost a stalemate between the two, but I think OnePlus is always top in each class. The 12 beats the S24 ultra in almost every category. 1+4 Life 🎉
Moto Edge 30 Fusion, $290 directly from Motorola. Way better phone, processor, display, everything. With 68w Fast charger in box and a case, with Moto 600 ANC earbuds. This Nord doesn't even come close so that Moto hate is outright false.
This phone doesn’t compete with Samsungs A series phones at all. Samsung A series phones provide significant software updates. This phone comes with outdated software straight out of the box and likely won’t receive anything further and if by some miracle it does, it will be outdated then as well.
Wow I mean thank you 🙏 one plus I just bought this Day one I loved it all around good phone added another line cause I liked it so much and for everyone reading this far It plays Diablo Immortal!! Yes it runs smooth 30 fps ! For $269 wow ! And everything you need it's Mario equivalent to super smash all around good pick 🎉
@@jejunamja yeah, thanks, that's what I thought, in my humble opinion, security updates are more important if we want to use a phone for 3-5 years, hopefully they will release more information regarding this. 🙏
I use my phone to listen to music via the usb c cable running into a DAC, then into a small headphone amp. I can't seem to get this phone to recognize the usb for this? any help as to what settings under usb routing might help this? or if there is an additional program that i can download.
"It's all plastic, witch I guess is a compromise for this price point." **THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!** All glass phones are insainly overrated! If you ask me, they're a burden. In price hike and durability. Honestly, I saw this phone with it's shiny back and said "awww... it's glass back." Then @2:03, when you confirmed it was plastic back, I got super exsited. This phone just shot to the top of the list of phones I'm considering buying.
Yeah, and that's another thing. They're making these phones so thin now, and for what!? You need a protective case if you want your phone to last. I wish they'd stop nickel and diming us, and make phones more durable out the gate so we won't have to buy so many accessories.
I own a OnePlus 7 pro just recently dropped it and changed the screen the phones is amazing and I don't want to "upgrade" but this phone looks awesome but don't want to spend took much and I love the charging speeds of OnePlus and charger included in the box.
As they say. To each their own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I still am very fond of my iPhone 7 and 7+. If your current phone does everything and more that you ask of it. Why replace it?
One month in using it and am very happy. Only drawback is the camera isn't as good as Samsung Galaxy phones but the price.. I think I'll go with the new 500$ phone they are releasing
because you guys (tech reviewers) keep saying that anything other than golden toilet paper is "budget", this is the only choice I have in the US!!!! Our choices have gone down and it's such a shame!

You also say that the n30 is going on 2 Years olds which is not true.

Even with a near two year old chip is works very well.

Between the charger, thick red cable and the smiley-face SIM tool, nice package. Agree that the camera is lackluster, but overall performance is crisp and responsive, and OxygenOS is nicely free of bloatware unlike say, Samsung. Good phone for
You said you had a Motorola 5G stylus. I have no idea what's going on with Motorola phones but the amount of bloat wear is insane. On top of that there's at least 20 apps just for the Moto phone. Somehow over the years of upgrading phones, I have 400 something system apps including doubles. I was just wondering if anybody had these issues also?
Yeah. Got tne N30. My LG G8x was ready to retire with my battery in bad shape. Also no updates of any kind. Including security. This is about as close to the LG phones were with a lot of features. Cannot use the Samsung A series phones with the Meditak processors.
Very good budget phone. Got mine for $234.00 a few weeks ago. I always use Nova Launcher on any phone i get and it is fast. The 8 gb ram is what allows this. Will get Android 14 and 3 years of security updates. Alright with me for less that $250. And with a snapdragon processor.
Oneplus does have a nice opportunity to step up and fill LG's missing space, but they don't appear to be trying very hard. Motorola is trying, but failing, for the most part. Only the Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 is worth writing home about this year. Pixel phones are overpriced and glitchy. The Pixel 7A should be $399. I wish LG would come back and innovate and bring back creativity to the increasingly boring smartphone market!
God do I miss LG smartphones,I wish I could've gotten the LG X Power smartphone instead of the LG X Charge smartphone but I am straight with Motorola now,Most Motorola smartphones might be terrible & garbage but they are very good smartphones in my eye's,just waiting for my payments to come out of my roku streaming apps so I can retire my Moto G Power 2021 smartphone and upgrade to the Moto G Stylus 5g 2023 smartphone
Lol bet you've never held a Pixel phone in your hand before 😂
@@whysoserious4464 That is true, however I have watched many reviewers talk about it.
@@Terranwilliamson1745 I agree! I have the last one they made, the LG V60 Fold. It is hands down the best smart phone I've ever owned! Or was. I dropped it and i didn't have it in its protective double screen so the back shattered and came off exposing everything. The battery is swollen and I can't make or answer calls because the speaker got wet and no one can hear me. LG phones can really take alot of damage before not working. I was never going to get any other smart phone again except LG. I have to get another phone tomorrow.. I can't afford a big payment but I'm not excited about any phone they have now. WHYYYY LG!? WHY!? Come back to us! 😢
LG phones man... I remember... Never forget my second ever smartphone
The freaking battery is amazing on this phone. Ive been watching RUclips for the past 2 hours and its only gone down 13%
I have had the N10 since it came out in 2020 and aside from taking it everywhere and the outside of my case and screen protector showing where and tear the phone still runs beautifully I don't even really not much lag on anything I need on a regular basis. I mostly only only looking to upgrade now because I just heard about the new N30 and I'm like hm maybe I'll upgrade. Upgrade and keep my N10 as a back up phone you can never have to many of those.
Did you get the n30??
Thank you for the review, have you tried the GPS when driving, lots of phones having GPS issue now?
Wondering the same.
I purchased the phone and I have no issues with the GPS. I live in Dallas Texas not sure if that makes a difference.
This is actually what I want from a phone as an Apple user, I never liked the lack of headphone jacks and I always love SD card compatibility with androids compared to Apple. I might genuinely buy this when I get a new phone
Agreed. I am a stickler for the headphone jack and SD card slot and it is a shame samsung has been doing away with these features. I have been looking into the Moto Stylus too, which seems like a solid cell phone.
Too bad there are not a whole lot of other brands in the US. The US cell phone market seems very rigged!
I'm considering buying this phone. My current phone on its last legs is a Nokia 7.1 which was in the same price range and has performed excellently the last 5 years. You say you don't expect to use this for 4 or 5 years because it's not flagship, but I probably will. Love all the features that most phones ignore (3.5mm jack, etc.) as well as lack of bloatware, that's what I love about my Nokia 7.1. But new Nokia offerings are meh, so I've looked and found this to be a serious candidate. I would buy the Pixel 6a were it not for the lack of headphone jack (huge dealbreaker).
I went from samsung to the oneplus 12 a few months ago and im so glad I did.
I also discovered recenly that if I leave it in airplane mode with other connections turned off (wifi and bluetooth), the phone pretty much doesn't lose power, particularly when it's locked. Mine has stayed at 100% for over 9 hours multiple times. (I've been on vacation in a different country, that's why I've had all the connections turned off).
This phone is great. The performance in the SD695 is still very fast on day to day tasks. As long as you dont game, its perfect in efficiency and regular performance. The cameras, charging, and design is also great
Thinking of going from a iPhone 13 Pro Max to the n30.. my late android was a one plus n30 and I just want something that has sd cards, aux ans usb c with a decent camera.
Just did! And I like the phone so far yes downgraded but in a way the pro and cons balance out also have $300 extra in my pocket
A new Nord 30 SE is rumored to launch. Specs look pretty solid for the price! Dimensity 6020 + 8GB RAM seems like a good combo for smooth performance.
I got this phone for 150 usd from best buy and I bought 4 of these and gave to my parents and inlaws...what a bang for buck
All I care about is the best audio to listen to my music. High volume,speaker strength etc! Any recommendations?
@pamspencer5733 invest 100 on phone and invest 300 on headphones
I just got my OnePlus n30 and I am loving it thanks for your video 😊
I got one..never had a problem with it. It's 2024 now and I currently use the Samsung A35.
Just ordered mine from Metro for $20 with the 40 dollar plan I'm excited to get it. In total I paid 61 which is a steal !!
now it's $50 + $65 monthly plan so that's $115 total
Nice review. Are there any Android phones you recommend which have a screen less than 6 inches?
the only thing missing on this device, is a water-repellant coating, a rating like that on the Motorola phones, and probably durability too. will have to see. great phone though.
I dropped mine in the toilet, immediately put it in rice and the next day it worked like new. I thought it was water resistant , it's not
Just got this yesterday... Pretty good for the price. The sound is really good, and charges fast
It's a beautiful smartphone, but unfortunately, here in Brazil, it costs two minimum wages. I'm tears.
I currently have a Galaxy a52, had for about years, was in the $500 range when I got it. Definitely a significant upgrade from the $120-$200 phones I typically would buy before. I had a Nord N10 for a few months when it came out a few years back, it was $300, but it was stolen and I just went back to a slight older phone for a few months till I got the a52.
I see the a54 in the $450 range and compared to the a52, it seems very incremental. A couple slight tweaks but with a smaller screen for some reason?
Now I see the n30 in the $260 range and it seems to be similar to the a52/a54, a few of the specs seem like the As are slightly better yet other specs seems to say the N30 has a slight edge. At the end of the day, all things roughly equal, the n30 does seem to have a small edge. For $200 less, you get a roughly equal or perhaps a tiny bit better phone.
At this point are you just paying more for the Samsung name, just paying for something that looks and feels more premium? Or is the Samsung going to hold up more over the long run? A year or year and a half from now will the N30 still be running strong or will its performance atrophy quickly? I mean after 2 years or so the a52 is still running probably 75 or 80% of how it ran brand new. The burn in on the amoled screen is definitely real and at this point it is still only somewhat annoying, not to the point where it's inhibiting use.
I just walked out the store with this phone, service, case and screen protector for 180 with 30 off my next phone bill after rebate
I have Samsung A12 for 4-5 years now... it was the cheapest smartphone when I got it and it still running... I lost it on the ground ao may times 😂
I have the Samsung A52. Love the phone. Free with T-Mobile. Nord N30 specs better in a lot of categories except one major item for me. No IP rating. It is not waterproof. Deal breaker for me. Otherwise I would buy it as a budget phone. Motorola customer service is horrible and outsourced, but have decent budget phones when on sale only, with more selections. I own Motorola, Apple, and Samsung. LG was my favorite for personal reasons. Need a upgrade to get more bandwidths for my area on 5g. My A52 T-Mobile only uses 2,66,71 bands. Google Pixel 6 and higher uses all bandwidths for all carriers. 5g, 4g. I just don't like Google phones for the price. Motorola depends on the phone.
Thank you for the review. I just set my N30 up last night to replace a Galaxy s21+ that kept shutting down cuz it said it was overheating. Was going to get the Moto but last minute decided on the N30.
Not familiar with everything yet but so far really love the lack of bloatware and the fast charging
I like this handset - it was my burner phone while I had to send in my Google Pixel 6 for accidental damage service. It a great phone to have as a spare. The camera app is ok, but throwing in the GCam from the Pixel will improve photo taking (mostly works).
This phone is definitely a great value! Good job, OnePlus! And great review, Wade!
Went from n10, n20 and now n30, added a 512gb microsd card and im loving it.
I'll call it the best mid range/budget phone under $300 bucks in my opinion
This or pixel 6a ?
Have you ever tried a Blu phone? Check out a video on the Blu Bold N3. For the same price as this it has tons of features.
I currently own a Pixel 7 AND a Motorola Edge 2021. I got the pixel from a family member who didn't like it. After using it for about 6 months, I too didn't care for it. I switched back to the Edge, but am deciding on my next phone. Would the Nord N30 be a good phone to go to?
You really hate Motorola I see. I have the stylus 5g 2023 and I am loving it so far. Very speedy. Battery last all day. Motorola is very good. One android update is horrible but that's okay cause the phone does what I need it to do.
Any spyware worries with this phone? Would you use your banking apps on it?
I had the n10 5g a couple years back, it was a banger. The n30 is also a banger. The n30 and the tcl stylus are the best out for cheaper devices that look good and don't make you feel guilty for buying. I'm actually typing on a 2019 Alcatel 3v, my all time favorite "old dog" it's not fast or powerful, but damnit does she turn right on every time and make that phone call. Plus the 3v has an absolutely tablet sized display so watching your video was very 😎
hey. how would you compare the camera to the N30 compared to the camera on the N10? i loved my n10 but it was stolen and now I want to replace it, but I am thinking a more modern model. the camera is super important to me
Photography is all about capturing light. It comes down to sensor size. Cameras will try to game it with smaller pixels/sensor size while upping the resolution to appear impressive or nowadays use AI processing to "improve" the raw image. But reality is only truly captured with larger sensors. Larger sensor will do better in lower light and wider dynamic range (in high contrast).
That said, N30 sounds great with high 108MP resolution, but it's only 0.64 micron rear cam (will be tough in low light and high contrast scenes; use a tripod). It's front cam is a much better 1 micron, making it a better cam as a selfie cam. My old Microsoft (Nokia) Lumia 640 XL shot great images especially in its day with 1.15 micron @12MP, Zeiss lens. Still use it to this day. iPhone 14 has 1.7 micron @12MP, while iPhone 15 only has weak 0.8 micron @48MP (lots of AI).
Just bought the N30 and will try it out and live with it. Flagships just cost way too much. And I'm no longer into photography anymore anyway. Decent will work now.
NORD is a TOP NOTCH company based in Germany! I know, because I am an automation technician and work with their electrical engineers in Germany. Nord may be new to the phone game but they make industrial electronics and have been in business for 78 years.
Cannot go wrong with NORD.....
that's good, didn't want a phone from China, made in china ...just saying...
@@marleneperry6972 The engineering is out of Germany but the phone is manufactured in China.
Motorola was the last phone made in the USA and that ended roughly 6yrs ago. It got outsourced to China, along with many, many other manufacturing industries during the so called “Trade War”. China use to make subpar products across the board, so i definitely understand your apprehensive stance, but times have changed. They now have the ability to competitively produce top tier quality electronics, optics & other technical products. China has caught up with the modern world manufacturing. Nearly 70% of smart phones are made in china an the other 30% are spread across other Asian countries, from India, Vietnam, etc, to South Korea. The world has been rapidly changing in the 21st century……
Nord is the name of the phone, not the name of the company. It looks like oneplus is a chinese based company.
Nice but you got this after the Color OS merge , maybe don't know about you but some of Old One plus lovers won't liek it , It's not bad , I also have a new one plus ( nord ce 3 ) , but since you mention clean os , their old os was much clean, I had a crush on them since their flagship killer era + " never settle " . I really don't appreciate that quote on their new phones after what they have become but hey :)) be a fan of product , not of company.
The dual-sim and SD expansion should be standard across the OnePlus lineup.
this will be a good upgrade for my dad since he has the OnePlus 6T
I love this phone, but what is the deal with the camera? It's the worst camera I've ever had on an Android. The color is constantly shifting because there is no White Balance lock. I also have not found a way to fix it with a video color correction app. I really hope One Plus addresses this in a future software update, as the camera resolution itself is good. If the colors weren't shifting all over the place, it would be perfect.
Have they ?
I'm buying this one tomorrow until I can afford a flagship OnePlus or a ROG phone
One of my favourite part is the charging of this phone I download lots of movies PC games on my phone and pass them to my laptop and that drains the battery faster than normal use so a 50 watt charging phone is great for me
I Still Have My N30 But I Also Have The Moto Stylus 2024 I Just Got Factory Unlocked & Its Slightly Better Upgrade
One plus has always been a top tier performing phone now with the camera improvements I’ll take this phone over most gaming is next level the battery next level software just as good as any new phone being released today phones a monster hands down.
I wish OnePlus would release more phones for us US folks
Thank you for this wonderful review. You've helped me decided in picking this phone. I've been looking for ways to punish Samsung for taking away the SD card and the headphone jack. This is looking like a nice alternative to my current 6 year old Samsung note series
Me too, my friend. Samsung has left us behind and it is a shame what has happened to their cell phone lineup. We need LG back!
Could they not have put a 6 gen 1 in it? Also slightly put off by your camera review, great video as always

A54 is much better
@@pneuma6421 why, is it because it cost me or what
Hey good review it looks like a decent phone but I think the one negative with this phone as I think it’s only getting one android update so I think 14 and it’s done… I would like to have seen two updates
Yeah I purchased one of these and I've loved it so far but the reason I purchased it was because it was a little cheaper than like one of their flagships and I wanted to really like try out the company because I have a OnePlus 7 pro with the pop-up selfie camera but I never actually used it as a phone itself I just used to take pictures and stuff cuz the camera was great, so I bought this one just to kind of try out one plus and I've loved it so far so after mine's updated to 14 and they're not coming out with any and I decide that it's about time to get a new one that I'm just going to upgrade to one of their flagships😂
@@Jsv_1021O4 oh wow. I had the OnePlus 7 pro back when it first came out. It's probably the coolest phone ever with that pop up front camera. I sold mine but I kind of wish I hadn't. Do you still have the OnePlus7?
I was very tempted to get the Nord n30 because of the price , the SD card and the headphone jack. How are you liking the software on it? Cuz it seems like it's more of a colorless now?
@@jejunamjaThe OnePlus 7 Pro was absolutely awesome 😎. Pop up selfie camera and because of that it had like zero notches . I had one and loved it. Now I'm using a OnePlus 10t
Just ordered one as an extra line for $60. Great reviews. I'm not about taking videos or too many pics.
I want to load my own choice of apps. Can all the apps that come with it be removed and individual preferences be loaded?
The chip in this is literally 2 years older than the chipset in the Motorola G Stylus 5g! I am shocked that Moto released a phone almost better in every aspect! The Moto just starts at 6gigs of RAM instead of 8 but with the Snapdragon 6 gen 1 chipset 6gigs goes further!
Bro if you're willing to settle for a moto that's a you problem.
I found the Motorola employee
What service does everyone have for this phone? Does mint mobile or Verizon work for it? I have heard no and yes. I had xoami but have to get a new phone bc it finally stopped working with simple mobile, sucks bc I love redmi phones
I’d argue that nobody knows about them because carrier stores never have them on the shelves, if they have them at all
I have the phone wade and I downloaded pixel camera and works without problems
With my iPhone’s current cracked front and back glass (I always use a case too, shoulda just barebacked), plastic is music to my ears.
So between this and the new motto g play which one would you recommend
Get the moto stylus 2023 or 2024
Thank you for your great video I have now put in my order for this amazing phone 😊
how does this compare to the moto g stylus 2022? i downgraded from a oneplus 7t after i busted the display. i felt a noticeble downgrade in camera quality, responsiveness, and input accuracy. and the finger print censer is just kinda shit. would the nord n30 feel like a step up from the moto g stylus, or would you say it's on par?
why you're Asking someone he will never reply to you
Why you don't Ask Google
@@mountanarivera4450 who pissed in your cereal?
I legit bought this phone cuz of the camera only it has a 108mp main camera. I also got mine for a good deal. But yes the camera was not what I was wanting. So this is going to be a back up phone, and I am just going to get a Google pro max 8
The Moto g stylus has the Snapdragon gen 1 and 120 hertz with the same 128 gigs and screen for free at metro! Also has 4k recording!!!!!! Don't get this over the Moto I'm telling you and I love OnePlus
The g stylus camera definitely seems better from my testing so far. Just got the g stylus metro deal but I have to wait 6 months before it unlocks to be able to use on my T-Mobile postpaid plan.
Moto g cameras are TERRIBLE
@@selfless-esteem unfortunately the g stylus 2023 camera is better than n30 as far as low light. The n30 is better in all other aspects as I use it over the g stylus
I've had the Nord N20 for almost 3 years now and it's been a fantastic phone for the price. I've used the heck out of it and definitely got my money's worth. It's finally started to have some issues with powering off on its own and connecting phone calls. I LOVE the fast charging and nice charger base and cord that One Plus provides with their new phones. I just bought the N30 off ebay for $190, so based off the video and reviews here I'm going to like the N30 just as much as I've liked the N20. Great value for the price.
Does anyone know if these work for Verizon in the US? I have the Oneplus 8T and it is still holding up, even against the newest 10T/11Pro models. But I want to get the N30's for my parents.
it was helpful thanx how do i turn on the 120 refresh rate?
Watching this from my N30 rn .. my only problem which I'm tryna figure, is It don't do double app feature being it's a dual sim
I love the N30 it has the 8 GB ram instead of a 6 GB ram that you get from the A
54. I know I'm going to like it way better than the A54
I'm thinking about trading in my pixel 7 for this. Thoughts? Does it offer support for micro SD?
It has SD card slot yes. SIM and SD slots
@@HelloThere-ez6rb for real? I called Best buy and they said it didn't.
I just got my 12r last weekend, $600 but it's basically a flagship 11 with worse cameras lol. With bluetooth, heavy gaming, youtube, everything else I'm throwing at it. It's consistently getting about 10+ hours of screen on time. Just recommended the Nord 30 to a friend. He's got the a53 right now which seems to be almost a stalemate between the two, but I think OnePlus is always top in each class. The 12 beats the S24 ultra in almost every category. 1+4 Life 🎉
Moto Edge 30 Fusion, $290 directly from Motorola. Way better phone, processor, display, everything. With 68w Fast charger in box and a case, with Moto 600 ANC earbuds. This Nord doesn't even come close so that Moto hate is outright false.
I wish this phone had NFC. Edit: apparently it does, it's just not mentioned on OnePlus's website on the spec list on their website SMH
I can't wait to own one myself next month
This phone doesn’t compete with Samsungs A series phones at all. Samsung A series phones provide significant software updates. This phone comes with outdated software straight out of the box and likely won’t receive anything further and if by some miracle it does, it will be outdated then as well.
Wow I mean thank you 🙏 one plus I just bought this Day one I loved it all around good phone added another line cause I liked it so much and for everyone reading this far It plays Diablo Immortal!! Yes it runs smooth 30 fps ! For $269 wow ! And everything you need it's Mario equivalent to super smash all around good pick 🎉

Bought one last week.. Exc phone. Like it more than my galaxy S20
"It's all plastic, witch I guess is a compromise for this price point." **THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!**
All glass phones are insainly overrated! If you ask me, they're a burden. In price hike and durability.
Honestly, I saw this phone with it's shiny back and said "awww... it's glass back." Then @2:03, when you confirmed it was plastic back, I got super exsited.
This phone just shot to the top of the list of phones I'm considering buying.
Agreed. You're going to put a case on it anyway. Why pay premium for glass back? Plastic is lighter too.
Yeah, and that's another thing. They're making these phones so thin now, and for what!? You need a protective case if you want your phone to last. I wish they'd stop nickel and diming us, and make phones more durable out the gate so we won't have to buy so many accessories.
I own a OnePlus 7 pro just recently dropped it and changed the screen the phones is amazing and I don't want to "upgrade" but this phone looks awesome but don't want to spend took much and I love the charging speeds of OnePlus and charger included in the box.
There’s other phones out there other than Samsung and Apple. Flash sale ends this Friday.
haha thast funny. i got the nord n30 5g the day it came out on tmobile. i have zero complaints.

EXTRA VOLUME BOOSTER DOES WONDERS FOR ONEPLUS PHONES

As they say. To each their own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I still am very fond of my iPhone 7 and 7+.
If your current phone does everything and more that you ask of it. Why replace it?
Great phone but since the update my double tap to put on the phone and to take it off is malfunctioning.
sold. Ill try any company that still has a sd slot
One month in using it and am very happy. Only drawback is the camera isn't as good as Samsung Galaxy phones but the price.. I think I'll go with the new 500$ phone they are releasing
N Series phones are decent, but the software expierence on them sucks. So much bloatware and adds built in.
because you guys (tech reviewers) keep saying that anything other than golden toilet paper is "budget", this is the only choice I have in the US!!!!
Our choices have gone down and it's such a shame!
