Limited Time Bonus: Pre-Order OnePlus Nord N30 5G and Receive Free Nord Buds 2

Introducing the OnePlus Nord N30 5G, a mid-range smartphone from the prominent Chinese technology giant that promises an enticing blend of features at an attractive price point. The standout offerings include a remarkable 108-megapixel primary camera and a captivating 120 Hz 1080p+ display, spanning a generous 6.72 inches.

The brand-new OnePlus Nord N30 5G boasts a contemporary design with sleek, flat edges and relatively slim screen bezels, although they aren’t uniformly narrow on all sides. Display-wise, OnePlus has incorporated a stunning 6.72-inch IPS panel, capable of delivering a fast 120 Hz refresh rate. The panel also boasts a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz, ensuring smooth and responsive interactions, while the resolution stands at an impressive 2,400 x 1,080 pixels.

For capturing selfies, users can rely on the device’s 16-megapixel f/2.4 front-facing camera, neatly housed within a central punch-hole cutout. On the rear, the smartphone features a dual-camera setup, comprising a high-resolution 108-megapixel f/1.7 main camera with a 6P lens and a Samsung sensor. Accompanying it are 2-megapixel depth and macro cameras, providing users with versatile photography options. Video recording capabilities, however, are limited to 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second, or 720p slow motion with a maximum of 120 fps. Nevertheless, the smartphone does support portrait mode, night mode, and timelapse recordings.

Powering the OnePlus Nord N30 5G is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G, a capable mid-range chipset featuring two powerful ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz, along with six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores operating at 1.7 GHz. The device is equipped with a sizable 5,000 mAh battery that supports fast charging via USB-C, offering a minimum of 50 watts. It runs on Android 13, incorporating the user-friendly OxygenOS interface that OnePlus is known for. Notably, the smartphone includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a convenient 3.5mm headphone jack, though it lacks an NFC chip.

Keen observers may have already noticed that these specifications sound familiar. They align with the technical specifications of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, a smartphone that has already been released in the UK and reviewed by us, priced at £299.
