It's a very good phone. I'm not missing oled as much as I thought I would. The screen still gets very bright and the charging is insane.
I have op 7 pro and that's the only reason I don't pull the trigger on this phone love the charging speed and my op7 just cracked the screen. Need something new love the brand overall. This phone is all long battery life and great for usage endurance I hear. But the screen quality, the oled panel I dig on my op7 pro
I just picked that up. it's marvelous. It's Pros far outweigh the Cons. One thing I didn't like really was it didn't have the Call/Text feature together to make is simple for us, but that is a software issue.
There's always going to be some things to nitpick over, but that's practically with every Device out there, so if you are okay with OnePlus's Oxygen OS? then the Nord N30 5G will suit your needs.
I'm just glad we have choices as Consumers (the more on shelves to choose from? the better).
8 Gigs of RAM does makes a huge difference (so does a 50 Watt wall charger - included, you hear that Samsung? lol!)
If you're ok with how OnePlus updates software / security patches for the Nord line? then enjoy a solid Device at a competitive price. 😊
Look carefully only the 9 series under consideration that too if any discounts or offers
The biggest annoyance for me is the lack of vibration / haptic adjustment. Even with it on I can barely tell it vibrates. And the only adjustment is you either have it on or off. At least on the unlocked version I got from Oneplus. I am hoping they eventually patch in an update to that.
I have this phone and it's such a good phone for most people. Like the specs on it are great and someone who has used the iPhone 14 Pro Max and tons of other flagship devices, this doesn't feel bad to use at all. Only place I struggle with owning it is the camera. it's so inconsistent and requires me to do a lot of editing to get a usable, postable photo but other than that this thing is awesome.
This is exactly what I wanted to see/hear. It's currently $150 at Best buy. For a basic email/text/UA-cam user, seems like a perfect phone for super cheap.
$150?? I call BS
It's back to $150 again this week if you activate it today at Best Buy
@@dubya2621they ain't lying
$150 today with activation with Verizon, Google, or ATT. All no for me, however.
$249 without so still a bargain
Yep the biggest con is the using the same 695 processor as last year. I know that the pixel six is around the same price but if you’re into watching media on your phone and not having your phone be a the camera, I think the one plus is a better deal.
Sounds fine to me i need to downgrade my phone I'm getting sick and tired of having no headphone jack and sd card.
Is there a problem with dropped calls?
I'm still rocking my N20 and even with android 12, I still love it...
Camera is trash on the n20 ..but to each is own.. respect.
@@dirtydirty5857 as long as I can send my chicks some dick pics.. it's all good...
@@dirtydirty5857just use a different camera app the system one is funky.
I partially agree with having 120hz over and OLED, however i think they could've opted in for a 90hz OLED , that wouldve been the perfect middle ground
I get what your saying but lcd screens last longer and don't cause in screen burns like oled screen do
@@matthewmcabee7328 it's 2023 OLED screens don't burn in, it's a mature technology. I've owned over 20 different smartphones with OLEDs over the past 4 years and not once did I have burn in. Even have OLED LG TV and not once did I get it.
@@LTEAndroid These are IPS though. Big difference from the standard LCD. From what I've read IPS is actually more color accurate than even AMOLED. People just really love the brightness and vibrancy of OLED. I guess our brains are literally wired to respond more to that, so it makes sense.
@@I_am_Dad_Son I have the N30 and N20 the N20s screen is much better because of the OLED. At the end of the day even if it's IPS the colors will always be slightly more washed out vs OLED displays
@@LTEAndroidIt's like the post plasma TV area. That everyone would talk about the burn after it was resolved for years.
Love the SD card fast charging big battery nice ram. Wish it was little smaller
Is the volume loud through headphones/earbuds ?
How is it with android auto? Any lag does it get hot my Samsung galaxy a53 5g gets hot and lags
New user jus got phone primarily for bigger battery over 9 and to save that one for camera usage. Only complaint is the USB c port doesn't function as a video out like the 9 does so can't connect to tv otherwise a great light phone that def operates fast . Any solution to said problem would be cool prob a hardware issue thow.
Which 9 does this?
I got the n20 I just upgraded from ao2
Watching video on my oneplus pro. Was thinking of switching to this. But, i don't think its worth it. Even the 9 pros or 10 pros. I still have 8 gs of ram and 256 gbs of storage. The newer models only have 128, which is weird to me. It's like they new what they made with the 7 pro and was like, "okay, that phone was too good... let's bring it down now..."
The ringer on my S10 arbitrary shuts off from time to time. It may have something to do with when it connects with the car through Bluetooth, but I really don't know. I hope the N 30 doesn't do that. Also, isn't AMOLED display easier to see in bright sunlight?
Yes it is.
Does it have touch screen issues like my N200?
Is the price worth it. Especially with the buds? Or should I join and get it through Metro?
It's worth it with the buds.
@@TechRight I'm thinking getting it through Metro $129 out the door compared to $299
@@nategohawks1535 if you need a new service I'd say that's a good deal too. Just beware of the hidden charges.
Got mine for free from Metro
@@simpleme5719 free how you do that?
So this or the previous N20 at a cheaper price?
Does ot have fadt charging?
I stated that in the last n30 video you upload no new chipset That's a big deal and some people disagree, well for the people who disagree let me ask you this would you buy a s24 with the same exact specs as the s23 for the launch price as the s23 you would absolutely not because you're literally buying the same phone twice. That's a waste of money just like apple did with the 14 plus that was literally a cash grab phone great video as always
Watch the whole video. I bring that up in the cons as well. Also, this isn't the same exact phone as last year. This has a higher refresh rate, higher charging capacity battery and charger, 500 more mah battery, 2 GB more ram, android 13 out of box instead of 11, better camera.
the N30 seems like a worthy update to the N20. I won't grump over the choice of Qualcomm Snapdragon unless OnePlus were charging more in price for it). Just know that it's OnePlus Oxygen OS not stock Android.
Yeah I'm okay with them reusing the same chipset but they should at least lower the MSRP or offer some noticeable features elsewhere to make up for the difference. Is that chipset cost a lot less to buy in both now than it did a year ago.
All of that said, the difference in processing power is only going to be noticeable to a very small percentage of people but I just think the point is from a profit margin perspective, if they're going to use the same chipset then there should be a break on the MSRP
Normally I encourage people just to grab a used flagship from a couple years ago. You could get a Pixel 6 pro or s21 ultra for 300 bucks. But the headphone jack in the SD card give me a little more interest in this one. You might cross shop it with something like an LG V60.
That's what I'm debating now. Best buy has this for 150 which is the price of a s21 FE refurbished. Not sure which I'll grab for my son yet
LG don't make phones any more
Thank you for all your work .I'm currently looking to upgrade . I'm using a moto g stylus first gen. This phone or moto g stylus 5g 2023 I can't make my mind up. You've provided the best video on both 💯🎯🤝🏼
I've owned both. Motorola doesn't compare with the one plus Nord N30 5G . The really fast charger is life changing. If you are a gamer it has no lag and works great.
I think my only pros is cons is that it's the one plus nord series is going to be capable of me like gaming like Roblox or like car games because I don't want to like get kicked out of a game because of that
You'll be fine playing games on this.
8 Gigs of RAM will keep you gaming 😊
I would love a replacement for my Samsung A71 5G. But I don't want to spend alot
How do you turn black screen on. Its so bright
I don't understand the fscination with updtes.i have ndroid 10 and 13 and notice no difference
My Nord N20 doesn't support Android Auto. Does this new N30?
You know it is hard to recommend any of these phones. ( Moto - OnePlus N30) with the Pixel 6a still around. I have the N30( watched your video - commenting from it) Just Pixel drops alone is a easy sell- for nerds like us. Would someone take advantage of these drops? Understand the value? No ( the con) This phone and Moto equals to "Free! switch to us" and there is the "pro"... there is the value.
My wife had the Moto G stylus 5G 2022.... I had to switch her to my brand new Moto Edge + 2023 because the SD 695 couldn't keep up her casino games and endless watching IG/tictoc videos. The Moto Edge + is butter
I am a bit concerned how the SD 695 ages.
I also listen to your video with over the ear wired headphones. Sounds good to me. I like this phone,lets come back a see if the pro vs cons still the same.
I highly recommend the sandstone case from OP. Nice and grippy.
As someone who had a Pixel 6a, I will say my experience was not as great as it should be on paper. Some of my issues were:
• Tensor Processor got extremely hot when doing anything even remotely demanding. Just having UA-cam and chrome open would make it heat up.
• Battery life was atrocious with it barely having 6 hrs or SOT. The slow AF charging speed doesn't help either.
• Screen is a bit small though the quality itself was actually really good.
• Despite having stock Android, it still ran into glitches and hiccups when using some apps.
• 128GB of storage with no option for expandability is a bit annoying.
That being said, for anyone who cares about the camera above all else, the Pixel 6a is the obvious choice. For anyone else, this sounds like a great deal. The A54 is also a good option for $100 more that is an upgrade on almost everything and the camera comes close to the Pixel quality.
I have Android10 and 13 and i just don't see much difference.why do reviewers make such aa big deal?
I want this phone
How can I find a SIM card tray for this phone? I already bought two, one of eBay one off Amazon that said they where for a one plus Nord 30 5g both don’t fit, I have a brand new phone from T-Mobile lost the sun tray now can’t find one that fits, can anyone help me please? T-Mobile has been no help
Try contacting OnePlus directly.
I would probably rather have OLED versus 120 Hz. I have to admit when I finally upgrade it to 120 Hertz I was a little disappointed. I got a phone and a tablet and to me it's a barely detectable difference.
Whereas when I finally got my first OLED or AMOLED phone I absolutely notice the difference right away
No it's a major jump 120 hz. From 60hz you feel the difference. Definitely. Oled is amazing though. I prefer oled. But I watch a lot of media on my phone to notice that
the amoled quad hd 90hz display on the 7pro is a happy medium for me.
Can anyone answer a question for me? What phone is better? This one plus Nord n30 device or Motorola G 5g 2023???? Does anyone know
Definitely nord
I'm not into chip speed but the phone is incredibly smooth and I will upgrade to the OnePlus fold . This phone was just a pickup that replaced a phone that got damaged. It gets the job done !
Going to use this as my Spotify work phone. Ive broken 7 too many phones at work 😅
Nice 👍
Any bloatware?
The best thing about my 1+ is the ability to disable the Gspy apps.
eSIM support??
Does it happen to have NFC for tap to pay ?
Yes
That's what NFC is, Near Field Communication, i.e. hold close to work.
I never use 120 refresh rate kills the battery to quickly.
The only con I found is that it doesn't support dual audio Bluetooth speakers. No even Oneplus can figure out how to enable.
My eyes can’t tell a difference above 60hz. While I have phones that are 120hz, it is turned off and set to 60. Since it has no performance impact on how it works for me, it’s turned off so I can save the battery.
Also you keep saying
Super voke charger.
It is pronounced.
Super vooke.
As in kook.
Cons.
I found all of your cons irrelevant.
Including the case issue. I personally don't use any device without a case
But overall i found your review well done.
I agree... Most people on their little phone 3 feet from their face doing normal phone tasks would not either, it's placebo effect...
Now gaming on a 3ft wide gaming monitor 12" from your face with a GPU that is actually spitting out graphics at super high frame rates, then yes
The biggest CON is that the setting for requiring authentication for every NFC payments is MISSING! And no response whatsoever from oneplus to my email asking them for a resolution. I can't believe in 2023, a brand new phone is missing the option to require authentication for payments. The phone can be locked & be used for payments. Just incredulous.
That's unfortunate. But for me that just means I'll have to make purchases the traditional way, with card in hand.
U need is sticky rubber card hold attach to back of phn to hold ur card on and bam problem sloved
I Have This Phone And Just Switched To The Moto Stylus 2024....
This phone with the grippy case feels like skateboard grip tape. Perfection.
At which is best for nord 3 or 11r❔
Bought one
I agree with you: 120Hz LCD > 60Hz OLED. Great video 👍
I prefer lcd screens better for eyes last longer and doesn't cause in screens burns like oled
The benefits of an OLED screen have been greatly exaggerated.
This N30 or the OnePlus 10t brand new for around $50-$70 more?
I never got the N20, liked the phone for the most part except for the fact that it seemed to take worse quality pics/videos compared to my 3 year old flagship.
All of the cons you called out are meaning less.
I'll take this device with 3 years of security. Security updates are what's important, not the OS update that will at times break devices.
Security updates seldom break the OS.
Smudges.
With the exception of the very first smartphone i ever bought.
Ive never NOT put a case on my phone. Most all phones in the last decade and a half feel like they are Teflon coated.
I highly recommend to anyone buying a cell phone today. Pit a case on that sob or you'll regret it.
Can this play epic seven or mobile legends bang bang with no lagg
The one thing that disappoint me is the phone doesn't have a connstant alert notification... I mean if ileave the phone in my vehicle for a few minutes, come back to a mis call, text message etc. There's no light/sound to indicate that i have an alert unless i check the screen myself.. Some time you just forget to... It would be nice if OnePlus would add that in a upgrade or something... A flashing red light until you answer the alert or a reminder alert sound setting for every so many minutes to go off... 😢
Does anybody else's screen be jumpy when you are playing video games
💪💪💪💪💪💪
Is good
You're part of the problem, and I'm sure when more companies start removing hardware and start selling it to you , you'll have something to say, I love the Google Pixel but I'll never support Apple's and Google's new standard for their phone division
I'm more than a little disappointed that you do not touch on the Google Tensor chip included with the Pixel 6a, as compared to the Crapdragon 695 in the OnePlus. Hands down, I'll take the Tensor any day. Even the first gen.
FOR SMUDGES: wax the bottom with car wax.
Not at all happy! The Volume Buttons are in the wrong spot with no Silent Switch! Feels Awkward within my hands!
The QWERTY keeps making me mess up on grammar!
T-Mobile tricked me into buying this phone, so I want to move away from T-Mobile and OnePlus to Nokia G50 and Red Pocket Mobile!😡💢
GOODBYE! Slams Door.
And it's locked!
OR Get my 8T revived by replacing the phone battery for a small cost, then say goodbye to T-Mobile by buying Red Pocket Mobile!
How can that shmexy phone have any cons ? it don't break your pocket either 😛
😂
Hehehehehehehehehehehe XD😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Terranwilliamson1745 I mean it is a phone though I'm pretty sure it can explode in your pocket and burn your crotch to shreds ooooooohhhh that would hurt
Nothing is wrong if you are happy with the Device (I'm a Motorola Guy but there's plenty to appreciate about the Nord N30 and the Pixel 6a, too) 😀
@@Terranwilliamson1745 Galaxy Note 7 Style
Nord is such an odd name
Maybe it was designed in a Scandinavian country.
Interesting coming from someone with a picture like that... 🤷♂️
@@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.😂😂 🧊
This phone is too slow for one that has 8 GB of ram. It should've gotten a much better & faster processor. Simply put!
695 is a great processor for 8, even a slower processor can utilize the more ram space to avoid disk swap giving a snappier experience and allowing more apps to stay open and prevent them from having to restart when you swap between an app.
Fornite work great peope
"PromoSM" 😏
Bring back the OLED screen!
No please don't. OLED is garbage with PWM. Keep the LCD!
1080p is the minimum on a phone, and a 5000 mah battery, @less than 300, sure
I don't like it asking for to much permission for everything
these are a steal at $60.00
Biggest PRO: LCD Display with no PWM flicker.
AMOLED is garbage with PWM flashing.
😢
