Reviews for the OnePlus Nord N100
OnePlus's most affordable phone so far is naturally expected to set standards in its class again. However, you have to do without many OnePlus features for just under 200 Euros (~$242), and the competition is strong. Is the Nord N100 still recommendable?

Archive.org versionThe OnePlus Nord N100 hits a desperately needed sweet spot for budget phone shoppers. It impresses with solid performance, a bright and vivid display, and long battery life. On the flip side, its cameras are mediocre, LTE band support could be better, and the thin plastic backplate feels cheap.

Archive.org versionThe OnePlus Nord N100 aims to deliver good value for money. With a big battery, 90Hz panel, and Oxygen OS, it's a decent attempt to keep up with the competition. However, to achieve this, it heavily compromises its camera, design, and performance. Ultimately, there are better options out there that won't need replacing as quickly.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

70.37%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
