OnePlus Nord N10 5G Review | After Months of Use! By Kevin Riazi

Welcome back everyone, I'm finally bringing you that OnePlus word n10 5g review priced very affordably. The n105g is a 5g enabled phone, it's in the mid-range price category, and it's got a lot of going for it. It is a strong and competitive offering, but how does it truly stack up against the overwhelming amount of other mid-range devices like the galaxy, a series and the Google Pixel devices? I'll answer that and much more as I go through my long-term experiences with the n105g in my review on the hardware side, this phone almost has it all for the basics, there's a hole, punch, cutout display, fingerprint scanner, headphone jack and the micro SD card slot. There's a quad lens, rear camera setup, featuring a 64, megapixel main lens, and on the front we have a six and a half inch 90 hertz display the word n10 5g actually feels very nice in the hand. It's easy to use with one hand- and the only gripe I have about the plastic build- is how it inhibits the device's haptics. The vibration motors, don't replicate what I think to be is a premium feeling.

So I just turned off the haptics, and it's no longer a nuisance. On a more positive note, I cannot understate how beautiful the midnight ice color is. It offers a moderately subdued yet premium. Look when it reflects light at the right angle. I have unfortunately dropped my Anton 5g backside down on the hardwood flooring a couple of times these past few months, but as you can see, it still looks pristine on the inside of the word n10 5g.

We have six gigabytes of ram 128 gigabytes of UFS, 2.1, speed, storage, no complaints about the storage speed. Given the price point it is adequate and for the processor we have the Qualcomm snapdragon 690. This is an outscore chipset, and it incorporates two big cry 560 cores and six little cry 560 cores on the graphics side. There's an arena 619l GPU also included, is NFC for contactless payments, which is nice, there's support for Bluetooth, 5.1, 802.11, ac, Wi-Fi and, of course, 5g. All of this is powered up by a 4300 William hour battery.

Let's talk about the performance of the word n10 that snapdragon 690 struggles in the most demanding game titles. When I put it to max settings, though, when bumped down to medium, my favorite games become enjoyable on this chipset, less demanding, 3d games or 2d games won't be taxing on the battery either and, with this dual speaker, setup you'll enjoy every minute of that gaming. With my extended use of this device, this much has become apparent if you're coming to this phone from an older OnePlus flagship like the OnePlus, 5 or 6 you're, going to be disappointed with how little of an overall upgrade the speed would be. If you were upgrading phones for better battery life. Now that I can understand, even with these specs on the antenna and the 90 hertz display, I'm still able to make it through an entire day without needing to charge the phone I get around 5 hours to 6 hours and 10 minutes of screen on time.

The six and a half inch display is an IPS LCD panel. It has an aspect ratio of 20 by 9, with a FHD plus resolution of 1080 by 2400. This gives it a pixel density of 406 PPI. As mentioned, the display panel boasts a high refresh rate of 90 hertz. This is refreshing to see trickle down to a more affordable device from OnePlus.

The overall advantage of the additional fluidity can be felt during many tasks. I use the phone, for this can be the case of scrolling through a social media feed playing a game with a high refresh rate support, or even just navigating through the OS. The dual speakers I mentioned do get loud, and the audio quality is good for the price. In my opinion, the left side of the phone has the volume rockers and the opposite side has the power button. OnePlus has removed the alert slider a feature that was a staple since the original OnePlus one to sort of make up for that omission and to keep their fans happy.

OnePlus has packed this with a headphone jack and the micro SD card slot features that we're not used to seeing on flagships anymore. This slot can expand the phone's storage capacity up to 640 gigabytes. If the onboard 128 is not enough, it wouldn't have been a proper OnePlus release without some form of fast charging and this device thankfully, continues that legacy by offering warp charge 30t included in the box, we have the warp charge, adapter, USB, cable, sim tool and the instructive paperwork. The phone has very slim bezels, there's a hole, punch cut out on the front and aesthetically speaking, something I noticed about this was that there is a bit of a backlight bleed going on around the hole, punch, cutout camera. This attention to detail should not go unnoticed, as it is a prevalent issue with multiple Samsung phones that I've already checked out in practice.

The front-facing selfie camera works pretty well. I was relieved to see that OnePlus software processing didn't overdo the skin smoothing. This was a nice change to see in comparison to Samsung's continuation of pushing their beauty modes to the extreme. This 16 megapixel front camera sensor does a stellar job at capturing detail as well. OnePlus has equipped it with four rear lenses, two of which can better be classified as specialty feature lenses.

You have the main 64 megapixel camera and eight megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 2 megapixel macro lens and another 2 megapixel lens. That is a monochrome lens. I was impressed with the photos coming out of the main camera at the standard focal length. The colors and the capture dynamic range are standout aspects. The main camera also doubles as the telephoto lens.

The ultrawide lens can produce clean images in a well-lit setting OnePlus stock camera app inside of oxygen. Os includes a wealth of settings such as the ultrawide, HDR portrait and nights cape modes, raw image shooting as well as pro mode now. The simulated portable effect on this phone is entirely done through software, and it's nothing to write home about. On the other hand, one thing and one feature I really did find myself enjoying- was the pro mode in the camera settings. The main lens uses electronic stabilization, but the implementation in its current form, is poor.

There's a noticeable jitter when recording 4k video, and it's unfortunate because it detracts from the otherwise clean output at up to 30 frames per second. There is still hope that they can remedy this with a software update. The way we've seen OnePlus and some other manufacturers do in the past. Slow motion mode also makes an appearance offering 1080p video at 120 frames per second or 240 frames per second at 720p. Below that quad camera array is the fingerprint scanner.

I find it to be placed well where I can easily reach it on my index finger, but there is nothing positive to say about the actual performance of it at all. In terms of speed, it's uh not terrible when it works, but the accuracy is just abysmal. It's even further behind the galaxy a11 and the galaxy a12 that I reviewed, thankfully, the n105g does have support for the face registered unlock and the software you can enable this and, if you're, not a huge fan of the fingerprint scanner. This I mean personally is my preferred authentication method. If you don't want either biometric, then you can just set them off, because they're not mandatory to set up on a bit of a disappointing note.

OnePlus is only committing to one major software update for this phone, bringing it from oxygen, OS 10 to oxygen, OS 11, and when you look at the competition in the mid-range market, that really doesn't cut it for a phone of this price. If you can overlook this con of these software updates, there are strong pros to justify this purchase. At this time, OnePlus has managed to create a relatively affordable package with niceties such as speedy, fast charging, a 90hz display and 5g when I purchased my n10 on a pre-order OnePlus, also packaged and shipped it with free earbuds too. What do you think about this attempt at cracking the mid-range smartphone market from OnePlus? In my opinion, they did a lot of right, but not committing to more software updates kind of kills the whole aspect of future-proofing your phone, and while it is a good deal right now a year down the line, I'm definitely not going to be saying the same thing. I'm kind of on a roll with these uploads this week so far, and if you want to see the upcoming videos, that are, I mean really coming soon make sure you're subscribed with the notification bell turned on, thanks.

My friends bye for now.
