OnePlus has announced a pair of new smartphones for its midrange Nord line-up — the OnePlus N10 5G and OnePlus N100.
Unlike the original Nord, which was only released in Europe and parts of Asia, OnePlus says the N10 5G and N100 will eventually launch in North America. The company has confirmed that both smartphones will be available there “at a later date,” following their European release. OnePlus says the N100 will arrive in the United Kingdom on November 10th, with the OnePlus N10 5G following later in November.
The OnePlus Nord N10 5G is a 5G handset (The smartphone will support Sub-6GHz but not mmWave in Europe, and OnePlus is yet to confirm which 5G tech it’ll support in North America), and it has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. It’s actually got a slightly bigger screen than the more expensive OnePlus Nord at 6.49 inches, and it has the same 90Hz refresh rate. It has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, rather than an in-display one, but you do get dual stereo speakers, a feature that was missing from the Nord. Its 4,300mAh battery can be fast-charged with Warp Charge 30T, and it comes with Android 10 out of the box.
Around the back of the OnePlus N10 5G you’ll find a quad-camera array consisting of a main 64-megapixel camera, a 119-degree ultrawide, and macro and monochrome cameras. Selfies are handled by a 16-megapixel camera.
The OnePlus N100 is the lower-end of the two devices, but it’s still got a big 6.52-inch display and dual stereo speakers. It’s got a larger 5,000 mAh battery, but it can only be fast-charged at up to 18W, and RAM and storage are also reduced at 4GB and 64GB respectively (though this is expandable). It’s 4G rather than 5G, and you get one fewer rear camera here for a triple-camera setup. There’s a 13-megapixel main camera, and two additional cameras for portrait and macro shots. Like the N10 5G, there’s a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and the phone also runs Android 10 out of the box.
Both sit below the existing £379/€399 OnePlus Nord in terms of specs and price. The OnePlus N10 5G starts at £329 in the UK and €349 in Germany (around $412) and is powered by a Snapdragon 690, while the OnePlus N100 starts at £179 and €199 (around $235) in the same countries and is powered by a Snapdragon 460.
The OnePlus N10 5G and OnePlus N100 are cheaper still, so it’ll be interesting to see if the company has found a similar balance this time around.
