OnePlus evidently didn’t get that memo, rather discreetly opening US pre-orders for the Nord N30 5G mid-ranger earlier today. This is a budget-friendly handset that hasn’t actually been formally unveiled or commercially released internationally either, fetching a reasonable $299.99 stateside in an unlocked 128GB storage variant with 8 gigs of memory also on deck and a single “Chromatic Gray” color option.
Of course, “fast” is a word that characterizes the OnePlus Nord N30 5G from a number of different standpoints, including screen refresh rate technology and processing power. Yes, this is a silky smooth 120Hz (LCD) affair with a reasonably zippy Snapdragon 695 SoC under the hood, and a 108MP primary rear-facing camera promises to keep (cash-strapped) shutterbugs very happy as well.
That is, if you don’t need a separate ultra-wide-angle or telephoto sensor, with the other two shooters on the N30’s back likely to prove, well, largely useless with their macro and depth skills and common 2 megapixel count.
