OnePlus Nord N10 5G Hands-on

Digital Walker has already released the OnePlus Nord N10 5G, one of the phones released by OnePlus that garnered a lot of attention because of the affordable price tag. It is, by far, the most affordable 5G-ready from OnePlus. We recently got our hands on one, so let’s check it out!

OnePlus Nord N10 5G is a plastic-framed phone with gently curved edges in a Midnight Ice color. It has a glossy back which for sure fingerprints will be everywhere. It doesn’t look premium but it doesn’t feel cheap at all.

For display, the Nord N10 sports a 6.49-inch IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Placed on the upper left side is a punch hole cut-out that houses its 16MP front camera.

On the right, we have the power and lock button. While on the left side, we have the volume rockers and a hybrid slot that can either carry two nano-SIM cards or a nano-SIM card and a microSD card.

Down at the bottom is the 3.5mm headphone jack, primary microphone, USB-C port, and loudspeaker.

Looking at the back, we can see the quad-cameras consisting of a 64MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP depth, and 2MP mono. Also found here are the fingerprint scanner and the LED flash. Check-out some quick sample shots that we got.

In the hands, the Nord N10 feels pretty solid and lightweight. Upfront, it has slim bezels and a thick chin. It is also pretty comfortable to hold and use.

Powering the OnePlus Nord N10 is a Snapdragon 690 processor, with 6GB RAM, Adreno 619 GPU, and 128GB UFS 2.1. Software-wise, it runs on Oxygen OS based on Android 10. We’ll talk more about its performance in our full review, so stay tuned for that.

Now for the price, the OnePlus Nord N10 is priced at PHP 14,990 and it is now available at Digital Walker nationwide. So far the Nord N10 is pretty affordable for a 5G capable device and we can already say that it can handle every day-to-day task.
