OnePlus Nord N30 5G The Best Budget Phone in 2023

For the price and features, the Nord N30 pretty much brings back what One Plus originally stood for when they started. Flagship performance for an affordable price, even though it doesn't use a flagship processor. Not to mention, micro sd expansion, a physical finger print scanner combined with the power switch, a headphone jack, and fast charging. It may not use an OLED, but that can prevent pulse width modulation and contribute longer battery life.

Now is the black friday price, enjoy the promotion and make the best buy for your new cell phone.

Best Value for $300

Amazing battery life. Fast and responsive. Phone stutter once on a while when playing game ( i play mobile legends in all high settings) but all good. Camera quality is not bad ( i rarely use my phone for taking pictures). Lcd screen is amazing and as good as my oled screen of my samsung s23. A bit larger phone but i guess i will just have to get used to it. If you are in the market for a budget phone, this is it!

What Can I say

The Price, the speed, the storge ,5G, 120Hz OLED and all of that for only 375, it's too good to be true, but it is true. I had the N20 before and now I am on my oneplus9, so I got this as a gift for my mother, she is 79 years old and all she talks about now, is the phone, she had the OnePlus 1 for almost7 years (still works), :) so this one was a great upgrade for her, now every she knows keep asking about it. all I can say if you are looking to get a crazy good phone, and not waste money on the expensive brands (they all are worthless when they hit the ground :P ). get this one, I got it with the original case, you will love that one 2

New phone, freshly updated and stuck in bootloop

Since I can't really wait for a repair/replacement for my primary phone (which I also use for work) and since I couldn't find my current backup phone, I jumped on buying one since it's fairly priced and offered decent performance. While waiting for the shipment, I found my backup phone so I was hesitant to open the new one and created a service request on Nov 7th to return it. Nov 11th and still had no news, I finally decided to keep it as it runs Android 14 (the other one has 12) and since it was a fairly cheap phone and it came with a pair of Buds 3 Pro and Earphones.

I configured everything, then proceeded with the official software update. Once rebooted, I continued the setup and the phone frooze and rebooted by itself and now stuck in bootloop. Tried to format it from the bootloader but it still bootloops. I'm now stuck with a non-working phone with no possibility to RMA before my first service request is answered/closed.

I bought this phone to spare troubles but now I have to waste my time at waiting for the first service request to get answered, then probably create a new one for the RMA, ship the defect phone, then and wait for the new one and re-configure everything again.

I should have waited to return everything unopened and get a refund...

Your experience may very well vary

Great value for a great phone

For a "budget" phone, the Nord N30 comes with quite a few extras, including NFC payments, a fast charger and an out-of-the-box, already installed screen protector. The free Nord Buds 2 were also a nice bonus. The phone is also surprisingly zippy, and I'm liking the relatively stripped down Oxygen OS, which was a bit of a concern, since my last 3 phones were Motorola Moto G Power phones with barebones Android, which I like. The Nord is also pretty light, and the battery life rivals the Moto G Power. You get a lot more bang for buck with this phone though. So far, I'm thrilled.

The Nord N30

Good phone.

Swapped from an older budget phone. The processing speed is solid. The camera quality seems severely lacking despite the MP boost. I'm aware there's a lot more to cameras than just MP. The quality and resolution seems to pale in comparison to a dedicated, hand-held camera from 2010. I'm disappointed OnePlus took away the gifts (earphones or phone case), and starting from the Black Friday sale.

I haven't gotten in depth with the phone. Most people don't lurk very deep with phones I imagine.

I had a poor experience trying to transfer over data from the old phone. Linking the two phones with USB-C seems to have caused my previous phone's passcode to inexplicably change. I could not get in the phone again, and have lost all the data despite backing up to Google services.

I hope I discover more to the N30's UI. I think this is a good budget phone to serve me for the next couple years.

Nord N30

Overall it's a good phone. Went from a OnePlus 5 and 6 to this one. Screen it's large and responsive. Best thing about this phone is the battery. Unbelievable how good it is, lasts me 2+ days with watching videos, running multiple apps and checking social media. The phone itself has taken a little bit to get used too, the one thing I really miss is having the notification light on the front. There's no way of knowing if you've got a message or email without turning on the phone. I would recommend this phone for anyone who is looking for a phone under $500 and is reliable.

Great Value

Camera quality can be greatly improved by downloading 3rd party GCam APK app to better utilize that 108MP sensor. Definitely getting your moneys worth and then some with this. I recommend over the Pixel 6A especially with the free headphones/charging brick. Battery life is amazing under heavy use and gaming.

OnePlus 5T to Nord N30

Its amazing because I finally have a phone that runs Android 14. I love the charging, gestures and general features of just having a phone that's nearly 10 years newer than the phone I had. The biggest takeaway for me is how the OS is geared towards making the user more efficient.
