OnePlus - Nord N10 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - MIDNIGHT ICE

I purchased this phone a few days ago and I gotta say it's amazing! It's not a flagship device by any means but it feels like one. The display is great and I love the customization, and you cannot beat the price. It's snappy considering the specs and come on.. 5G!

This was advertised as an Open-Box item. I've purchased Open-Box before from Best Buy and always has been an amazing experience to get the product you want at a lower price. This was not an Open-Box item. The phone came without the original box which the very term describes "Open" Box, not "without" box. The charger is not the same because I bought one of these for my wife a week ago and the size and shape of the chargers are very different and the cable is generic, same Oneplus color but not original. Overall very dissatisfied with the product that also took an extra day to arrive

I've read so many average to poor reviews from 'techies' that it's downright irritating! This is a 5G capable, mid-range phone at a budget price. I think if your priorities are managed, and don't compare this to a flagship phone, you'll find this phone is quite awesome! I'm writing this review for the 'average' consumer! I am not a gamer, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 processor will have limitations and won't keep up with the flagship processors, so keep that in mind! The PROS of this phone - - 5G, I mean it's in full swing now. I get between 120-150mbps in my area with T-Mobile on this phone. Don't let a $1000 phone fool you. The 5G signal comes through with the same speed as my wife's iPhone 12, which has a much more powerful processor! - 6gb RAM, 128gb storage - plenty for most users, and if not this Oneplus phone actually has a micro-SD slot for expandable storage. - Snappy performance from the QC Snapdragon 690 processor. It won't set records, but it will certainly meet the majority or your needs! I have experienced zero lag. - 90hz refresh rate, and a perfectly acceptable full HD LCD display. No, it's not AMOLED but this is $50 cheaper than the Pixel 4a, and that phone is only 4G LTE. Just pointing it out... - 4300mah battery - the battery on this phone is simply amazing. I am a light-to-moderate user, and I'm getting about 2.5 - 3 days of juice. The other night, I went to bed with 99% and woke up 8 hrs later with 99%...that's a first for me ever, and I've been in the game a long time. - Warp charge 30w charging - Charges the phone from 0%-100% in about 55 minutes. Can't beat that with most phones, let alone one this cheap! - Oneplus software, which IMO is the best for Android phones! - Face unlock, which is fast and works as flawlessly as the rear fingerprint reader - The audio on this phone has surprised me. It has dual speakers, and actually sounds quite good! - Headphone jack, enough said there. The CONS: - Camera performance is inconsistent. Good lighting, it's good but not great ... in poor lighting the lack of OIS shows and images are muddled. To be expected at $300. If the camera is your thing, and you don't care about 5G, Warp Charge or a 90hz display...get a Pixel 4a. I installed the google camera apk, and it improves this dramatically. The wide-angle camera is sufficient, and the other two are simply gimmicky and unnecessary! - No AMOLED display. Ah well, can't have everything for $300. - It's plastic. While it doesn't bother some, it bothers me. Though, I have to say it doesn't feel like a cheap phone. It feels a little hefty and premium. Get a case on it, you'll never know. - The vibration motor, makes this phone feel cheap. Turn it off. Ick! - I think the biggest drawback from most reviews I saw is the one android update to 11, and 2 years of software support. That goes against everything Oneplus has stood for since its inception. While I somewhat agree that's cheapin' out, it's a $300 dollar phone. If you spend $1200 on the S21 Ultra you'll get 3-4 years of support, so do the math. All in all - for the features this phone has - it's a solid offering. If you're on a budget and want a 5G phone, I recommend picking one up. After all, this is still a Oneplus phone!

Get past the obsession with glass everything. The phone feels solid. Well built. I have never cared for wireless charging. Had it, but don't care to. I can easily do without it. The goal is for the battery to charge. It does, with a cable. Fingerprint sensor - fast. Face unlock - fast. Screen, at just 50%, beautiful. No need to have it at 100%. That's just for show on online reviews. Snappy with all apps. Smooth on any site. Great speakers. Super easy to setup. Calls - all clear with no drops. I returned in less than 24 hours a TCL10 Pro that while in my pocket was constantly dropping in and out on calls and music. The Oneplus does not. The TCL10 Pro would not activate with the screen off to me yelling across the room, hey google. With the screen off on the Oneplus, hey google gets instantly activated to respond to anything I ask. The TCL 10 Pro has one speaker. For 299 bucks, the Oneplus Nord N10 5G is an excellent phone.

The LCD display could be brighter but is still completely useable in sunlight. It's 5g capable and since I use T-Mobile network on Mint Mobile, I'm satisfied and not concerned that this phone is not capable of using mmWave spectrum band. For the price, this phone meets all of my needs, and I'm completely satisfied. The Oxygen OS has a few non-intuitive quirks, but is easy to get used to. (Example: Under Wi-Fi & Network data useage, setting an alert of data used is located under the submenu "billing cycle", instead of "data useage"). Battery lasts all day, and then some, even with almost constant use. It has lots of the features and gives plenty of value for your money. I recommend checking the features to make sure it's the right choice for you.

Its an okay phone. Some of its good features include the rear fingerprint scanner. I found that much more reliable than Samsung's. It has a nice large screen, large enough for these old eyes to see it, and you can actually hear the ringtones. Now for the bad, whatever the phone is made of, gives it a slicker than ice characteristic. I placed my phone in a table at the mall and it started slowly sliding to the edge of the table. Fortunately I caught it mid-drop. I tried flipping it face down and got the same results. If I'm on an app and the phone should ring, there is no icon to press or swipe to answer the call. and by the time I get to it, it has gone to voicemail and I'll have to re-call my party. And lastly, the colors aren't as vibrant. They're more of pastel hues. Most of these are minor annoyances and probably need some tweaking on my part to get what I want. All in all it's a good phone, I don't LOVE it but I do like it a lot.

This is a fantastic phone at a great price. Previously I've used a HTC, Samsung and Motorola but this N10 is now my firm favorite. This is not a technical review or comparison, just my view on how it feels and operates. I love it. In the hand it has a soft silky feel, don't know how they achieved that. It's quicker and has more functionality the my previous Moto G5+ with a lot more storage. $303 including tax, delivered to my door, THE NEXT DAY, with FREE SHIPPING. Beat That Bezos.

For $299 you get a great phone. I purchased an open box N10 and I returned because it was unclear when the original warranty had been activated. I had it for a week to test it out. I wasted no time getting a new one. It's fast, reliable, has plentiful storage, and works with T-Mobile 5g. I called one plus and they told me that Android 11 will soon be available. There will not be another update but in a couple of years 'll be buying another phone -or maybe keeping this one. The only annoying thing is that it mutes itself when you press the phone against your face. Not sure what can be do about that. Otherwise, I love my new phone! Believe it or not, I'm not really missing my stolen expensive note 10+.
