While high-end features are common on high-end smartphones, that also means those high-end features generally come with a high-end price tag. However, where OnePlus has played outside of convention over the years, especially with its Nord series, is to offer a flagship-like experience at a little over half the price. A prime example is the OnePlus Nord N30 5G, with a high-spec 6.7-inch screen, 5,000mAh battery with fast charging, 108MP camera, and 5G for less than many flagship phones.

Design and build quality: Pristine and ergonomic
The Nord N30 5G is a well-designed phone that looks much more expensive than it actually is — a characteristic OnePlus has clearly mastered during its years of making these types of devices. There is minimal branding on the back and a glossy back panel provides a clean aesthetic. Though polycarbonate, it sure feels tough and premium to hold, also well capable of weathering everyday abuse. The flush and discreet camera bump is smooth, does not protrude out too much either, which is also part of the design. The Nord N30 doesn’t compromise on looks, and only those with a really keen eye will spot its budget phone pedigree, and with its dutiful in-vogue colors of the moment, in a most compelling market segment.
Dimensions: The phone is just around 6.4 x 3.0 x 0.3 inches and weighs in at about 190 grams, which thankfully makes it light enough to use with one hand comfortably.
Ports & Buttons: Nubia remains determined to include a standard USB-C port on its device, and one of the last remaining 3.5mm headphone jacks on a modern smartphone. There is a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button, which provides fast and reliable access to the phone.
Display: Smooth and Immersive
OnePlus Nord N30 sports a 6.7-inch LCD FHD+ (1080 x 2412 pixels) display. It does not have a deep black as AMOLED but with an LCD, the N30 still gets bright colors and a fair amount of contrast so it should not be an issue watching media or playing any games. The display also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and transitions a smooth experience. It noticeably impacts on a day-to-day basis and makes it feel like browsing and app navigation are more fluid. That really adds an extra touch that you normally wouldn’t find in this price range.
Screen-to-Body Ratio: With slim bezels and a central punch-hole camera cutout on the top of the display, the phone comes with a high screen-to-body ratio, therefore, maximizing the WhatsApp screen. Its immersive design makes it suitable for videos/games/multitasking.
Performance: Smooth Multitasking in Plenty of Storage
Skimming the internals, the OnePlus Nord N30 5G is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. As far as you probably know, this chipset is efficient and reasonably performing enough to handle every day to day tasks along with casual games and multitasking, and that is with negligible lag.
