Reviews for the OnePlus Nord N20 5G

After using the two head-to-head over the past month or so its hard to really pick the N300 over the N20 other than pricing. The N30 is $228 but is exclusive to T-Mobile. The N20 is $282 on T-Mobile but you can usually catch its unlocked variant on sale at retailers like Amazon / Best Buy for $249.99 or less. You get more RAM, storage, better display, and camera system. Even if you couldn’t find it on sale its still worth paying the price difference.

It's easy to be spoiled by the glitz and glamour of flagship smartphones, but I'm genuinely surprised by how well the OnePlus Nord N20 5G holds its ground in the sub-$300 level. For the price, it's one of the cheapest phones to have a quality AMOLED panel, the performance is admirable, and the battery and charging lead the budget pack. By shopping for the right parts, OnePlus has created a 5G handset that delivers where it matters the most. Just make sure to double-check whether you're buying the T-Mobile model or unlocked.

The Nord N20 5G is a good device that provides decent bang for your buck for a few reasons. The first is that while the phone is $300, it doesn’t feel cheap in the hand. The look and feel of the phone are in line with pricier phones like the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G or Galaxy A53 – a real win for OnePlus. Second is the Snapdragon 695, delivering solid performance even though it’s not the top-of-the-line chip from Qualcomm. There are a few downsides of the Nord N20 5G, including the lack of a high refresh rate on the display, no official waterproofing on the international variant, the weak vibration motor and the one Android update, but these won’t be dealbreakers for everybody.

You’d do just as well to seek out unlocked models if possible. The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G ($269), which, aside from processing power and a slight hit in charging speeds, is an all-around more reliable daily driver that will be supported for much longer. Then there’s the newer Galaxy A33 5G (~$300), which offers even more than its predecessor. It’s not officially available in the US, but you can get the international model on Amazon. Alternatively, if you can push your budget a little further, the Google Pixel 6a ($449) and Samsung Galaxy A53 5G ($449) are huge upgrades that are worth the extra money. If you really want a OnePlus phone, the OnePlus 8T is still available for just $349 at the time of this writing. It’s far from OnePlus’ greatest phone by some margin, but it’s a massive improvement over the Nord N20 thanks to flagship silicon, a 120Hz refresh rate, better cameras, and 65W charging. If it’s still in stock when you’re reading this, grab it while you can.

The OnePlus Nord N20 5G smartphone comes with T-mobile and A&T carriers support so that you won’t face any problems with the 5G connectivity. The first impression of this phone is pretty good as you are getting enough perks that will enhance the user experience. You are getting a pretty standard display, robust performance, and stunning photography quality. Despite this, the overall specs are mediocre compared to other smartphone market providers. If you are not looking for a cheap alternative to the OnePlus phone, we recommend you check out an alternative that will provide great value than this phone. The first smartphone that comes to our mind would be the Galaxy A33. It offers all-rounder specs and offering robust user-centric features too. But in the end, buying any phone depends on your requirement so choose from your heart.

For $282, the OnePlus Nord N20 is definitely the best phone for the money. Even with lackluster cameras and the shamelessly bad software update policy, this phone is still a good buy if your phone budget maxes out at $300, especially now that you can buy the Nord N20 unlocked. The Nord N20 and Moto G Stylus (2022) trade blows pretty evenly. The Nord looks and feels better, not to mention the stronger performance and better display. But the battery doesn’t last quite as long (a little more than an hour shy of the Moto) and the cameras are pretty bad — I didn’t think I could see cameras worse than the Moto in 2022. And then there’s software support. Again, I didn’t think a phone maker could do as bad as Motorola, but OnePlus managed to. You’re only guaranteed to get a version of Android that’s already six months old. That’s pathetic. However, if you’re strapped for cash and need a new phone, then the OnePlus Nord N20 should be at the top of your list. If you have more flexibility, then I’d suggest checking out the $429 iPhone SE (2022) or $449 Galaxy A53 as more fully featured alternatives.

For less than $300, the OnePlus Nord N20 is an easily recommendable budget 5G phone. Slick performance and a bright, punchy OLED display compensate for the sub-par camera system. There are three rear cameras but two are almost redundant, so OnePlus would have been better off focusing on just one. Put that aside, though, and the Nord N20 gives a lot for very little money.

In the context of the US market, OnePlus is in a great position with T-Mobile and Metro to be offering smartphones in its Nord lineup that are well-equipped and intended for the pre-paid market. The Nord N20 brings a great AMOLED screen with in-display scanner, excellent battery life, all packed in an attractive and sleek plastic body. There is no shortage of devices to choose from in this segment outside the US, but if you're buying from the carrier within the US, and that carrier happens to be T-Mobile or Metro, and you have a strict budget of $300 or less, then the Nord N20 5G should be one of your top choices for a 5G phone in this the price bracket.

At just $282, there's no better example of how to cram incredible value into a gorgeous-looking and feeling phone shell. Almost everything about this phone screams excellent, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anything even remotely close to this good at this price. It's hard to imagine it getting any better without being more expensive.

In 2021, OnePlus offered two low-cost phones on T-Mobile: the $299 N10 and the $239 N200. The N20 serves as the successor to both of those devices; it just about splits the cost between them, and offers an experience that is mostly consistent with its $282 price. OnePlus could have designed the N20 better for the US market, though I suspect the company spent much more time this year integrating with Oppo and spinning out new models for international markets. Thus, Samsung’s Galaxy A32 5G remains more in tune with the needs of most US phone owners. The Nord N20 falls a bit short of the Galaxy A32 in benchmarks and camera performance, but is worth considering if you prefer its better looks and superior screen.

But the N20 is a better choice if you’re looking for a great screen and a more sophisticated software experience. You’ll also get double the built-in storage and 2GB more RAM than the 64GB / 4GB RAM version of the A32 5G sold in the US. We interact with our phones roughly a million times per day, so it’s worth making sure the device you pick is one that you enjoy using. Personally, I’d find a way to live without an ultrawide camera and pick the N20 over the A32 just based on its enjoyability factor. It’s OnePlus at its finest — delivering an experience that feels like it cost more than it actually did.

The OnePlus Nord N20 is a beautiful budget phone that looks like it costs hundreds more. It also has an AMOLED display, good battery life, and decent performance for the price. But you also have to accept subpar cameras and a bad software update policy.

The OnePlus Nord N20 offers users a lot of capability for the money. As a daily driver, it has everything most people will need, and its only faults are either fixable or just things that would have made life slightly easier. For your $282 you're getting an AMOLED display, functional camera, and enough firepower to handle everyday tasks with ease. The phone's camera and specifications will only limit serious users who aren't going to be browsing through the mid-range for a new phone anyway. Features like the under-screen thumbprint sensor may give it an edge over competitors like Samsung's Galaxy A series of phones. There are, of course, better phones on the market. But they all cost more. If the current mid-range offerings, which I'd say the N20 is an excellent example of, are anything to go by then smartphone technology has hit a point where you see diminishing returns past the $300 mark. If you need a specific feature the N20 doesn't have, ask yourself if it's worth the additional cash — because if you just want a good smartphone you have one for $282.

The OnePlus Nord N20 is a phone with some benefits but more compromises. In general, the hardware has an improved personality thanks to the redesign and it stands out more than some of the vanilla competitors. The screen is solid for this class of device, though we can bemoan the slower 60Hz refresh rate. Battery life is very good, as is the charging speed, as well as the everyday performance of the phone. The Nord N20 lands a bit behind the curve, however, when it comes to the crummy haptics, fingerprint reader, camera performance, and the weak mono speaker. If you really want a OnePlus phone, the OnePlus 8T is still available for just $349 at the time of this writing. It’s far from OnePlus’ greatest phone by some margin, but it’s a massive improvement over the Nord N20 thanks to flagship silicon, a 120Hz refresh rate, better cameras, and 65W charging. If it’s still in stock when you’re reading this, grab it while you can.

Yes, OnePlus is changing. But if the OnePlus Nord N20 5G is any indication, the company still has some of its mojo left. This phone’s design is absolutely brilliant, the AMOLED screen is gorgeous, battery life is fantastic, and the software – while slightly different – remains pleasant to use. Oh, and there’s a headphone jack and a 33W charger in the box. Most importantly, here in the US, the N20 5G brings excellent value to the table. Still, there’s room for improvement. The 60Hz refresh rate is a bummer, the lack of ultrawide shooter is a miss, and performance needs some fine tuning. Finally, an alert slider and stereo speakers would have sealed the deal. But if you can live with these limitations, the N20 5G will be available for $282 (or $11.75 per month for 24 months) from T-Mobile starting April 28, and will be coming to OnePlus (unlocked) soon.
