OnePlus Nord N30 Review: What's The Catch?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- The OnePlus Nord N30 has some impressive specs on paper like a 108MP camera, 6.72-inch display & 5,000mAh battery. It also has often-forgotten features like a headphone jack, expandable storage & still comes bundled with a charger in the box. With a price tag of $300, you can’t help but wonder - ‘What’s the catch?’

Would you buy this over a midrange Pixel, Galaxy, or iPhone?
Not if I was intoxicated. A Chinese phone???
I would prefer the longevity of apple google or Samsung vs OnePlus. $300 is a compelling price tag , but I always look at software and hardware support
Some of the Pixel 6a highlights include an OLED display with HDR capabilities, though capped at a 60Hz refresh rate. There is also an IP67 ingress protection rating to enjoy and stereo speakers. While not a chart-topper itself, the Google Tensor chip is quite potent within this price range. You also arguably get a more versatile camera setup with the Pixel 6a, including a 12MP, OIS-enabled main cam and a 12MP ultrawide, 4K video recording in toll. It's just really hard to beat the current value proposition of the Pixel 6a.
I rather get an s10 plus over this.
Xin chào
Headphone jack,charger in the box,expandable storage take my money One Plus!!
That’s so 2014

😎👍
Appreciate the video, lots of useful information about the phone! I especially like the battery usage tests.
And great music video choice (Tori Kelly) :)

Agreed. The 6a is a great value. I have an N30 and the 6a before that. You have to take into account the 6a's awful battery life, garbage modem and it also gets extremely hot doing anything. Other than that, it's a decent device. I like my N30 better though.
Interesting phone, I’m now on iPhone since few years and I’m thinking to switch for and Android phone ….. the one that I really like is the pixel 7a 🤔🤔🤔 but I’m a little bit lost with all this models (I’m gone watch your pixel review )
Great video as usual thanks
Thanks for a great review Thao. :)
Love the video as always but for that price,I'd still go with a used Galaxy S21 or add afew bucks n get a used S22,still awesome phone for those that insists on brand-new handsets
I am an iphone guy, got my first Iphone 3 as high school graduate, Never have used anything other than iphone, I bought this budget phone for my niece as a birthday gift, she is 13 , I got iphone 14 pro max, but i was blown away when i was setting this phone for my niece , for $299 its better than the iphone SE, Only if this phone had 4k 60 , it would blow the pixel, she had this phone for about 3 1/2 weeks now, she already got 2 updates plus initial update . Love this budget phone
I’d go for the SE still simply for the longevity and software support. I’d be surprised if this gets more than one major android update
yup. it only gets one android update
Pixel 6a
Right now its $199 with activation at best buy. It also comes with a $30 best buy gift card. The 50w charger by itself is probably another $25 that you would have to pay for. This thing is a steal. I was on the fence about getting it but at this price its really a no brainer.
thanks alot for your comment. i was going to purchase from amazon for $299 but saw your post and indeed best buy has a great deal on a great phone
Were you able to review Poco F5 5G?
MicroSD slot, a headphone jack and a power brick in the box. The fact that this $300 phone has all those but way more expensive phones don't, really depresses me.
@thao where can i contact you?
Do reviews for xiaomi phones as well.... ❤❤❤❤
nice video Thao
Can wait to get one
I just bought fast chargers from Amazon the moto charged pretty quick now
If I were seeking a smartphone in this price range this would probably be my choice. However, I feel it is important to mention that this is in fact a budget phone and not a mid-range device. Hence, the LCD display and the Snapdragon 695. Frankly, I think if they had equipped it with an OLED panel and the Snapdragon 7 generation 1 chipset it could have been marketed as a mid-range device. Still, let's not lose sight of the fact that this is a solid device for the money.
So far. after a week with this phone the biggest annoyance for me is that it keeps asking for the pin after every 10 uses. Very annoying.+
Y'all need to check out the doogee s100
According to some sites this has a 30fps 1080p camera. Also the international version of this phone has a 67w charging and an extra year of software updates. I wouldn’t get either. Nord CE 3 is the phone consider when it will be out.
This phone can charge at 67watts but they include the 55watt charger because in north America according to them it charges better at 55watts
Có biết tiếng việt ko Thao , review tiếng việt nhieu view and sub lắm
I’m buying this as a backup phone. For the money wow.
If something is slower than a54 u run
I like the headphone jack, sd card slot and side fingerprint reader.. who do they think they are, Sony? lol
Do you know if this phone has eSim and gorilla glass?
Lol
No eSim and I believe it's Gorilla Glass 4 or 5 on the display.
@@Thao thanks Thao! Always enjoy your reviews 😁
@Thao, Good to know it has no e-sim, I bought my sony xperia 1 iv because it has a physical sim card since I only want a physical sim card, the headphones jack, micro sd card slot and a charger in the box. My samsung galaxy z fold 4 screen is no longer responding to touch input once I dropped the phone even with a case so having an e-sim would be useless in this regard since you need to be able to have touch input with an e-sim. There is long black line in the middle of the inside display of my samsung galaxy z fold 4. It cost $547.99 plus tax at ubreakifix to replace the screen when I spoke with the representative over the phone. Physical sim cards are easier to deal when something like this happens to a phone. My z fold 4 slipped out of my hands with the inside display opened while I was using the phone and it fell on the wooden floor in my room. If the brotect tempered glass screen protector brand came out with a tempered glass screen protector for the z fold 4, it would have been able to protect the inside display. I have the brotect tempered glass screen protector for my pixel 4a 5g and I use the brotect tempered glass screen protector for the samsung galaxy s10 5g on my sony xperia 1 iv even though the screen protector was designed for the samsung galaxy s10 5g. Parts of the display is still exposed on my sony phone and I dropped the phone multiple times even with a case and the temepered glass screen protector and there is no damage on the tempered glass screen protector. I ordered the samsung galaxy s10 5g from germany years ago when I used to have the s10 5g and I took the s10 5g screen protector and put it on my sony phone and it fits with parts of the screen still exposed. The tempered glass screen protector came with a pack of 3 from brotect from germany and I'm still using the same first temepered glass screen protector while the 2 remaining temepered glass screen protectors are still in the box. The back of 3 tempered glass screen protector was less than $20. I found the brotect tempered glass screen protector for my pixel 4a 5g on amazon and a battery case for my pixel 4a 5g on amazon. I'm still using the same tempered glass screen protector for my pixel 4a 5g when I dropped my pixel 4a 5g multiple times on its screen with no damage at all on the tempered glass screen protector. The tempered glass screen protector is a wet install screen protector so you can reapply the same screen protector multiple times if you mess up and there is no adhesive on the back since it just automatically sticks to the screen of the display. The brotect tempered glass screen protector protect the screen for my pixel 4a 5g and sony xperia 1 iv. The brotect tempered glass screen protector is flexible and made of real glass but feels like plastic. The only time the tempered glass screen shattered is when flex the screen protector to a certain degree but other than that I have no issues with tempered glass screen protector. There is matte screen version for the steam deck from brotect on amazon but shipping takes awhile, however there are some mix reviews. Some say the tempered glass screen protector fits the steam deck and some say that the screen protector does not fit the steam deck so it's a gamble. I dropped my pixel 4a 5g and sony xperia 1 iv with the brotect tempered glass screen protector and there is no damage at all on both of my phones and I dropped both of phones directly on there screens in contrete and even in the parking lot. Were you able to get 5g on nord 30? I have the pixel 4a 5g and I'm leaning towards the one plus nord n30 as a replacement for my pixel 4a 5g. Having a mediocre camera is perfectly fine with me since taking pictures is my lowest priority for a phone and 1 year of software updates is perfect for my use case. I use my phone for watching tv, movies, music and playing games. As long as the pictures are not too dark and ok looking and not too blurry looking.
Poco is the best in low to mid budget range. I use Poco X4 with custom ROM and it feels like pixel except the camera of course
I've had both the Moto g power 5g 2023 and this phone they are exactly the same .. so as ND the Moto is 199. Oh plus you can get the Moto in white and with 256 gbs storage out of the box .. I like the Moto at this point
does not work with Android Auto
I wonder how many buyers actually care about cameras that much. I don't care at all, since most I use camera is for scanning documents
I actually like the cameras they perform very well
@@manda_maee I'm surprised i said that 6 months ago💀💀. now i take a lots of photos. and yeah the camera are decent. not bad at all
Capacitive finger print scanners in the power button SUCK for people who hold the phone in their left hand (like ME!).
Why not use one of the fingers on your left hand, and stop commenting.
I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max now.. I'm buying this as my 2nd phone. mind you I've owned a one plus 11 and iPhone 13 Pro and was chilling until I sold both.
Something feels off with the clip, sound and quality
Question: is it unlock phone?
yeah it is
I think you would like the new Motorola Edge+ (2023). Flagship specs, amazing value, fast charging and overall good cameras. Is it on your review queue?
Sounds interesting, I'll pick one up to test it out!
@@Thaoit's solid I got one
@Thao while you are doing that, check out the motorola razr+. I know you like your flip phones.
I just ordered this phone for my 76 year old Brother. He could care less about gaming, photos or social media. He just use it as a phone with occasional RUclips video viewing and likes loud speakers. If you buy it for the right reasons makes sense.
The volume mode that goes to 200% i have only ever been able to do when the device is not Bluetoothed to a device.
I 99% of the time use a BT device that allows me to send my phones info to my work truck. But because its a BT device the N30 will not go to 200% volume. Tho on my work truck it is needed. Because so many channels send their videos at 25% volume and with the sound all the way up, when working there is so much extraneous noise that you just cant hear what they are saying.
And agreed. If your sick of Apple
And everyone else. Samsung?! Google?! Yes try OnePlus. Most of their devices I own are mud to upper end devices and work very well. I wanted to know if their budget phones were any good. Sooooo. I bought the N30. For my usage, there is no performance difference between it and the OP11. Seriously. I do not game. I don’t even use these devices to make phone calls. The service I use is used for data only, so everything is a app used.
I gps, text, web search, weather, half dozen other apps which do not stress the processor.
Same as 90+ percent of the population of the country. The N30 does everything I need in short order.
💙
LCD is a deal breaker for me. Sorry.
Headphones jack is key them 1000 dollars phone aint cutting it with no headphones jack
I can barely see the difference in pictures I guess I'm not too bright that way
Deja Vu all over again. Do I have to sit in in a window seal in the sun to keep it from turning yellow like the first POS OnePlus?
I picked this one because Samsung wouldn't cover my insurance claim because I didn't have my Knox service activated.its a solid phone ,it gets the job done
Why no music??
My daughter is 3 years old and wants a phone this phone will fit her needs 😂
I love the way this device looks. But all OP phones are Teflon slick so everything gets a case on it.
I think all the options you are looking for are going to be on the Nord 3. That is the midrange phone.
The N30 is more a entry level. Probably the only thing lower in standard that im aware of is the Nord N300. But that can only be had from T-Mobile. If you open a new line of service.
WTF is up with this phone? What good is the print reader if the phone is going to force you to enter your pin every 6 wakes or so? I've been a huge fan of oneplus since 2016, but this pin sht is ridiculous
Oneplus and many other Chinese companies are offering what seem to be pretty decent phones. Not only the lower tier but flagships as well. I am hesitant to purchase their products because of securities issues. Am I justified in this? I don't know! Let's not be naive; all phone manufacturers collect data in one way or another. But what got me thinking about this is that not long ago, one of these Chinese companies was caught with its pants down sending data from their phones to a server in China. Are these only rumours or verified facts? It remains to be determined. When testing a new phone like this one, do you transfer your daily drivers integrally to the test phone? Or are you just using the bare minimum? I know it's out of the scope of this video, but I feel it's a legitimate question.
Maybe I just should've bought this instead of the oneplus 11 and I'd still have an extra $400 in my wallet.... Oh well 🤷
Motorola vs OnePlus Nord N30
I can never be tired of Samsung. Samsung all the way!
given that they dropped the headphone jack, SD card slot, and charger, I am tired of samsung
@@KING_8 you have got a point though
I rather get the Galaxy Note 8 plus over this one
Love Chinese phone
Wow, you looks so much older now
1 year from now this phone will be forgotten along with many other new phones
Yep they come out with a new phone all the time
IPhone cheaper than a Samsung? Never would have thought
Mmm mmm mm 😋
The design of the back cameras look so much better their their current flagship. I seriously think the 11 is so ugly
Lucky 333 number subscribes
Realme gt neo 3t better 💪
One update will ruin the motherboard/screen. Not worth it.
Wrong
@@Cenlalowell one plus has that reputation, check out the screen/motherboard issues post software updates
Pixel all the way, everyday. Iphone SE is pure garbage and a joke of a "phone" and OP is mediocre lately. Not what it was a few years ago. No more flagship killer.
This is a $300 mid-range phone and you're complaining that it's not performing like a higher price Pixel or Samsung. Garbage review.
I will stick to Samsung phone 👍😎❤️
Why?
boring communist phones 💤
Dang if only Nord was readily available to the South African market 😢😍😍😍😍🤌🏾
