OnePlus Nord N20 5G Update: OnePlus is known for releasing premium devices at a flagship price. They also stepped in mid-range devices too, which made them a premium in that range too. The OnePlus Nord 20 5G is one such device. But this device is just US-specific and under the hood, it is similar to Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G.
What does OnePlus Nord N20 5G offers?
Box content: Box of OnePlus devices is full of content. It has the device itself, along with lots of documentation. There is a 33W SuperVOOC charger and a USB-A to USB-C charging port. The quality of the charging port is much better than other smartphones.
Device design: OnePlus Nord 20 5G on the rear has a plain design. The device is boxy and isn’t curved. The sides are plain and even the rear design is plain. It is similar to Samsung’s S22 ultra but only has a triple camera setup.
The right side of the device has a power button and the left has a volume controller. There is no alert slider, like older OnePlus devices. It was a nice feature though.
Display: The display size of the OnePlus Nord 20 5G is 6.4 inches, AMOLED panel. The Refresh Rate is only 60Hz, unlike other devices which offer 90Hz or 120Hz Refresh Rates. Regardless of that, the display is very premium and is the best in the segment.
The bezels are very thin, but the chin is a little broad. The display is a punch hole. The multimedia experience on this display should be great because it has 1080 X 2400 resolution and pixel density is also great.
Specifications and UI: OnePlus has a fitted Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor. It is a great processor at this price range and is tuned with 6GB RAM + 128GB storage. The benchmark scores are better not the best than the competitors.
Although the processor has been optimized well with the Oxygen OS. Also, the OnePlus offers the cleanest UI. It comes with Android 11 out of the box, and an old version of Oxygen OS which is a little disappointing.
Although, there are no bloatware in the device and the experience is smooth. The company has not mentioned the future Android updates.
Camera: The camera isn’t a very big highlight of the OnePlus Nord N20 5G. It has a triple camera setup, with a 64MP primary camera with 2MP depth and 2MP macro. The primary camera clicks better pictures, but there is no ultra-wide camera.
The camera can shoot only 1080p at 60FPS videos and without stabilization. Being a midrange device company should have offered 4K at 30FPS, as the competitors have it. The front camera resolution is 16MP.
Battery: The battery backup of the OnePlus Nord N20 5G is 4500mAh, which can be charged with a SuperVOOC 33W fast charger. As the processor is also the latest, it must give a decent backup.
Other features: As the name suggests, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G has 5G support along with Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Dual VoLTE 4G and 5.1, and NFC too.
Conclusion: OnePlus Nord N20 5G is a great device, with great performance on offer. OnePlus has done a lot of cost-cutting such as no WiFi 6 support and a great camera, to be able to fit it at a mid-range price.
