OnePlus Nord N200 5G Unboxing, Hands On & First Impressions! By TechDaily

What's going on guys, my name is wade with tech daily. In this video we are checking out the OnePlus word n200 5g. Now this phone has actually been out for about a month or so, but I wanted to make sure I featured it because I think this is a pretty interesting new option for those of you looking for a really affordable, 5g capable device if you're located outside the US, you're likely already familiar with the OnePlus word series, basically OnePlus budget devices, but here in the US this phone is now available through T-Mobile and metro as well as factory unlocked, and, I suspect, given its price point, a lot of people will be considering it. I'm going to go over everything you need to know about this device in this video, we'll go ahead and jump right into it here and quickly go through what all comes inside the package first, and then we'll see what the OnePlus word n205g has to offer so peeling off all that plastic wrap and sliding off the lid. The first thing we get is the n200 itself. It comes in just one color, this blue quantum finish, and we'll take a closer look at that in just a second but digging a little deeper inside the package.

Here there are a few more things included inside the first little packet, you'll find an instructional booklet and a word themed card, which also has the sim ejector tool attached to it, and a diagram for inserting your sim card beneath that. You also get an included charger and cable. This isn't the super crazy, fast charger included with OnePlus flagship phones. Instead, you get an 18 watt, plug with a still very nice USB, a to USB c cable with all that stuff out of the way here is the word n205g once again and don't worry that sticker on the back does come off clean and easy. There now, obviously, there's a lot to talk about with this phone, but to start off I want to go over pricing and availability, because I think that's actually the first reason why a lot of people might consider this device now unlocked direct from OnePlus and through places like Amazon.

You can snag this n205g for about 240 dollars, which isn't a bad price to start with through T-Mobile and metro, though here in the US, you can also get this phone for under 220 or even for free, if you're, a new customer and sign up for a plan, so that I think, makes this phone particularly enticing, and if you're interested I'll leave some links down below in the video description to where you can get the n205g at its cheapest current prices so check down there for all the deals and discounts physically. I think the n205g is actually a really good-looking device from both the front and back it's sort of mid-sized. It comes in at just shy of 6.5 inches. That's the screen size, and you can see that up front. We do get a pretty decent screen to body ratio.

There's relatively minimal bezels that modern hole punch camera cut out in the corner that I know a lot of people prefer there's still a bit of a bottom chin, but all in all, I think this is a solid balance of size and design and in the hand, it's also going to be relatively comfortable for most people. I think it's big enough to where you're getting plenty of screen real estate, but not so big, where it's a stretch to reach all the edges and corners around back that blue quantum finish, I think, looks particularly nice on this phone. It's got sort of a dark to light fade and a matte finish with just a subtle shine. It's an all plastic device, though, which makes sense given its price point, there's no IP or water resistant trading either here, but overall, with that nice back cover the polished sides and a decent design. I think this phone still looks and feels pretty nice taking a look around on the left side.

You have your volume buttons and above that is the sim and SD card tray on the right side. You'll see the power button, which also doubles, as the fingerprint sensor down below the headphone jack is still there, alongside the USB-C port and single speaker setup and around back the triple lens AI camera setup, which I'll go more in depth with in just a second quickly. Jumping back to the speaker. Setup though, like I said just the one downward firing speaker here, but actually it's quite a bit louder than I expected, which is good, so no real complaints so far and here's an audio sample, so you can get an idea of what it sounds like with the fingerprint sensor. I really like the placement, I think, having the power button sensor setup is convenient and the unlocking speed is fast enough, though it's not necessarily the quickest I've tested, still it's just nice to have it regardless.

In addition to the fingerprint sensor, this phone also has faced unlock, and this is actually really fast. You don't even see the lock screen. Basically, it just jumps right into the home screen, but for as fast as it is, it's also not necessarily the most secure face unlock setup. So you might sacrifice some security for a little more speed, but all in all getting into this phone is both fairly fast and very convenient. Now, in addition to the 5g support.

Obviously there are a couple other things that I think make the n200 stand out from the crowd and one of which is the display. The 6.49-inch screen is an IPS LCD panel coming in at a resolution of 2400 by 1080, which at this size means you're cramming in some 405 pixels per inch, and I wouldn't normally praise a 1080 resolution lcd, but I know some similar 250 devices like Samsung's a32 5g, for example- offer 720 resolution displays, so this phone is at least out of that one to start and overall, the general viewing experience here is pretty decent. It's obviously sharp enough. I think, especially at this size. It's plenty colorful, maybe not as bright as it could be, but that's a minor complaint and if you don't like the default display color profile, you can of course make some adjustments and settings one other thing.

You'll find this n200 5g display is also a 90 hertz high refresh rate panel, and this is really the standout feature for the display. You guys know that a high refresh rate display makes the phone feel quick and snappy ultra responsive, and it wasn't that long ago that this kind of add-on was reserved for a thousand dollar flagship phones. Now we're seeing it on a device like this, which is under 250 bucks and even offered for free through some carriers. So it's a great deal, I think and something a lot of people will appreciate. Nowadays.

High refresh rate is something I know I can't live without and getting it on. A phone at this price is a great deal all in all the display. I think on this phone is one of the standout features inside the n200 5g, I think, consists of sort of mixed bag of specs. That, depending on your smartphone usage, might be the only real point of contention with this phone. On the one hand, you get a really good-sized 5 000 William battery inside it's a bit bigger than average, and I think, if longevity is something you're concerned about, this might very well be a day and a half long smartphone, if you're, not a heavy user.

So that's nice to see OnePlus definitely crammed in a good-sized battery to power the phone and the 18 watt charger will still juice up this device. Plenty quick, too, there's no wireless charging here, but I can look past that the rest of the power features are more than good enough inside. This phone is also powered by the snapdragon 480 5g chipset, four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of storage, and with this it's a one size fits all sort of deal. You can't get any higher configuration. You can't spec this phone up any more beyond throwing in a SD card, which I think you'll definitely want to do, but I know some people maybe wish this phone was a little more powerful.

Here. Are the geek bench scores, so you have a numeric value to sort of compare, but in general I think this phone still feels quick enough out of the box. At least, though it has tripped up a little already, which I'll talk about in a second. It does ship with android, 11 and OnePlus own oxygen, OS 11 add-ons. I've personally always felt that OnePlus does a fantastic job on the software side of things, with speed and optimization, as well as offering useful little tweaks and add-ons.

So the basics are all here, and fans of OnePlus in general get exactly what you'd expect but, like I said, the downside is that from time to time I can feel already that this phone gets tripped up a little even on some simple stuff. It is still very much a budget device after all, but with the performance and specs, there was probably a little more that could have been done with this phone. I'm definitely going to push it a lot harder in my full review, and I'm curious as to how it holds up. But I think if there were but one sort of slight concern with the n205g, it would simply be that capability wise, it's maybe a little under powered, compared to what it could have been now around back with that special triple lens AI camera. The main lens here is a 13 megapixel, f, 2.2, aperture shooter, there's also a 2 megapixel macro lens for up close photography and a 2 megapixel depth sensor to help with portrait shots. The selfie camera is a respectable 16, megapixel shooter.

So all in all, nothing too crazy, though I would have liked to have seen maybe a wide angle here, for example inside the camera app. I do think there are some nice add-ons. You might not necessarily experience with similar 250 devices like night mode, for example, pro controls, a high resolution, shooting mode and obviously the AI helper, which you can turn on or off as needed, but it basically will just attempt to identify the scene and subject you're shooting and make minor enhancements to help the shot. Look better with a couple quick samples here. I think this phone does take a decent shot.

The selfie camera to me looks perfect right off the bat skin tone is exactly right. Color balance is solid, there's a little of smoothing, but not terrible and detail-wise. The regular selfie is maybe a little lacking, but the portrait selfie really brings out much more detail. So that's great to see the rear lens setup also seems pretty good too. Obviously, a totally different color profile.

My skin is a little brighter and more pale. I think, but it's a good-looking shot, nonetheless, with plenty of detail all around, so all in all with the camera setup, at least my first impressions here. I think it's pretty good, and I look forward to putting it to the test for my full review so with the OnePlus word and 205g. Furthermore, I do think this phone has a lot to offer it's a great looking device. Obviously the display with a high refresh rate, is really solid.

It's got a big battery inside seemingly a decent camera. Setup too. It might be lacking on the performance side of things, but I think if you can keep your expectations in check for 250 bucks and especially if you can snag this thing for free there's still a lot to like. But what do you guys think about this phone? Is the n205g something you're considering right now. Let me know in the comments down below I'd love, to know your thoughts.
