OnePlus is exhibiting off a brand new low-end smartphone, the OnePlus Nord N300 5G. This is a $228 cellphone you may get at T-Mobile beginning November 3. The highlights embrace a surprisingly good-looking design for this worth level, 33 W charging, and a 90 Hz show.

First up: specs. The SoC is a MediaTek Dimensity 810. That means a 6 nm chip with two 2.4 GHz Cortex A76 cores, six 2 GHz, Cortex A55 cores, and an ARM Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. There’s 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 5000 mAh battery. The show is a 6.56-inch, 1,612×720, 90 Hz “HD+” show. A 90 Hz show on a cellphone this low cost sounds spectacular, however this cellphone’s predecessor, the Nord N200, did not have the ability to reliably ship 90 frames per second to the 1080p show, making it a little bit of a waste. The downgrade to 720p (and possibly a barely sooner SoC) means OnePlus may really hit 90 FPS this 12 months, however it’s not clear the decision drop shall be value that.

33 W charging means this can cost sooner than an $1,100 iPhone. There’s a facet fingerprint reader within the energy button, and also you get a microSD slot, NFC, and a headphone jack. For cameras, you get one rear 48MP foremost digicam and a just-for-looks 2MP “depth” digicam. The entrance digicam is 8MP. The cellphone ships with Android 13, and OnePlus’ traditional replace timeline for these low cost telephones is one main replace and three years of semi-regular safety updates.

Low-end smartphones are normally styled to be as generic and forgettable as potential, however the N300 comes with surprisingly attractiveness. The complete cellphone is squared-off like an iPhone 4, with straight sides and chamfered edges. The digicam block is handsome, too, with extra chamfered edges, sq. sides, and a two-tone coloration scheme. It’s much more design work than you’d usually get at this worth level. We’re nonetheless not enormous followers of the teardrop entrance digicam, however it’s a finances cellphone.
