OnePlus Nord N10 5G Review - Why I WOULDN'T Buy It. By ASBYT

Hi guys it's asset and if you thought the naming of smartphones were starting to get really confusing well buckle up, because here we have the brand new OnePlus word n10 5g smartphone phone calling device slab of tech. All jokes aside here we have a new player in the new word branding line from OnePlus, but while the n105g might be great for some of you, I wouldn't buy it for reasons you'll see, but before we get to all of that, we first have to consider the price the word line of phones was brought in from OnePlus this year, probably because many of us felt that OnePlus who started their business, providing great phones at affordable prices or flagship killers had kind of lost their way with the continued improvement in quality, the flagship prices kind of started to creep up as well, so OnePlus decided to split the focus into two main categories: the sort of flagship premium range, the OnePlus sort of numbered series and the more affordable word series and the word n10 5g definitely hits that price point it's going to retail for starting from around 329 pounds. I believe. But what do we get for that, and is it worth it? Well, we have a 6.49 inch, full HD, plus lcd with a 90 hertz refresh rate. It's not the brightest or smoothest or even sharpest display OnePlus have ever created, but it's fairly decent CDs tend to get a bit of a bad rep in recent times, mainly due to the introduction of OLED technology or AMOLED technology in smartphones. But while I prefer AMOLED for great contrasts and viewing angles, the average person probably won't really care or know what type they've got one tip and this tips for free.

If you do have an lcd, try turning the theme and the apps to dark mode, because the actual discoloration around the edges and around the punch, hole cutouts, for example, is a lot less noticeable and that tips for free just make sure you hit that subscribe button and drop a like gorilla, glass, 3 here and a plastic frame, and it doesn't feel or sound the most premium. But it's not terrible, and it's fairly in keeping with other OnePlus devices with the logo and the text in familiar places with the rear mounted fingerprint scanner just above it. It's pretty fast and reliable, but by OnePlus is exceptionally high standards in unlocking speed. It does leave a little to be desired. Face unlock, however, is rapid, as ever, if not the most secure now.

One thing you will notice is that the chin is slightly chunky by today's smartphone display standards, and it's definitely a sacrifice. You will be making not opting for a more expensive device in the OnePlus catalog. Now most budget phones also sacrifice somewhat in the camera department and with the n10 5g that is kind of true, but also kind of not as you'll see, we have a 64 megapixel primary snapper, an 8 megapixel ultra-wide, a 2 megapixel macro and a 2 megapixel monochrome camera for black and white photos yeah now we know a lot of these manufacturers are producing this kind of camera setup on smartphones, with the sort of macro lens, for example, and the color filter sensors, because well mainly it's cheap to manufacture. They know the quality of these additional lenses isn't great, as shown in this case, with the macro and pretty random monochrome lens, whose job a normal social media filter could do just as well, but in their eyes, if they add all these additional lenses, it makes the consumer feel like they're, getting more value for money and that's kind of true here and in addition to this, and this actually helps OnePlus cause here. Smartphone cameras have got so good in the last few years that even in budget phones such as this primary shots and ultra-wide angle, shots tend to look pretty great across the board and I think, if I put a primary shot from the n10 5g and the primary shot from the OnePlus 8 pro, for example, their flagship phone you're not really going to notice too much of a difference, if I'm being completely honest shots from the primary and ultra-wide lenses.

Here, look perfect great details and dynamic range and really nice, vibrant colors, and you have that 64 megapixel mode. If you want that added detail, portrait shots can sometimes be a little indifferent and will certainly not match up to the likes of the pixel 5, for example, but that's not uncommon and again, if you use Twitter and Instagram etc. Like I do any photos uploaded there from the n10 will look absolutely fine great, in fact, in most cases, so for most of you with its 4k video capabilities as well, will be more than enough as it will be in the battery department as well.4 300, my cell is certainly not too shabby, and you have warp charge 30t, which was flagship technology only last year and will charge your phone from around bought to 60 or 70 in around half an hour. So that's pretty cool again at this price point, and this theme continues through the bulk of the internals, with six gigabytes of ram 128 gigabytes of internal storage. That can be expanded by a further 512 gigabytes, using that micro, SD card slot and the inclusion of the eight nanometer 5g capable 600 series Qualcomm chip, the snapdragon 690.

, this chipset upgraded from the 675, and it provides fairly similar real world use to the 765g that we see on the more expensive, OnePlus word, not quite as good in some cases, but not a million miles away. The idea of the 690 is to bring 5g capabilities to the budget to mid-ranges, and it certainly has achieved it here. I've briefly used it for some light gaming, and it will run absolutely fine. Will it crush those massive heavy titles with high frame rates etc. ? Probably not, but will most of them be playable? Yes, on top of this, we've got stereo speakers.

We've got a headphone jack so for 329 pounds it's a pretty confetti compelling was the word I was going for there in case you didn't know now you do. We've got a pretty compelling phone here indeed, so why do I not recommend buying it? Well, the answer is a simple one. With these attributes at this price point, it kind of puts the n10 5g in an awkward middle ground between great quality and great affordability, and if I feel neither nails one nor the other and unfortunately, for the n10 within the word range. OnePlus also offer two other smartphones and one of them hits quality and the other one hits affordability better. I feel than the n10 for only 50 pounds more.

You can get the OnePlus word and for that you're, getting a near flagship phone, better AMOLED display better chipset, better all-round camera system, better build quality and a more premium look and feel the difference in quality between the two feels quite a lot, and we're only paying 50 pounds more and if you're sat there saying well, 50 pounds is quite a lot of money to me and I still want an OnePlus phone, but I'm on a pretty tight budget. Then I would look at the n100, which is only 170 pounds. Yes, it has an inferior chip, less storage, less ram, but the same oxygen OS software, which runs over the top of android 10 a bigger battery and the price drop-off is significant. It's far cheaper, so the n10 for me is in a really difficult market position. If you want a really cheap phone, that does the basics.

Okay, then I think the n10 is too expensive. But if you want to spend that sort of money, I would personally recommend saving that extra 50 pounds and getting the OnePlus word, which I think is a far better phone overall. Let me know what you think in the comment section below. Do you like the n10? Do you prefer spending the extra money and getting the word, or even more and getting the OnePlus 8t, for example? Or would you go with the one plus n 100 at 179 pounds, or would you go with something completely different from another brand around this sort of price point, as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts drop a like on the video if you enjoyed it subscribe, if you love everything, tech, breaking tech, news, unboxing reviews, I love you leave I'll, see you in the next one.
