Completely worth the asking price. It’s a solid device with great performance for $300. The battery life is respectable. My usage will get me about two and a half days out of a charge (mostly light gaming, reading, texting, and some music streaming).
My last device was a pixel 3. In comparisons, the screen is good, but the colors are not as rich. The cameras performance is good, but not amazing. Full light photos are good with great detail and nice pixel saturation, possibly on par with my pixel 3. Low light situations are where it starts to fall off. Medium light is still workable with some tweaking of the settings and dialing in. Not too hard or consuming to do, honestly pretty easy. Low light, the pixel just wins. With some work, you can get passable photos with the N10, but not quite what the pixel can do. I dunno what wizardry Google does, but they kill it with their setup.
Day to day usage, I’m happy with the performance of the N10. The Oxygen OS is smooth and easy to work with, actually not really that different from a clean base Android. I appreciate that OnePlus is always updating and improving it. The processor is ample and there is plenty of RAM to keep things running fluidly. I’m on Verizon, so I don’t have 5g to be able to comment. That wasn’t one of my requirements in the first place.
The design and physical attributes are a mixed bag for me. It’s a pretty thin design for what it houses. It’s tall and narrow, but the aspect ratio works for it. The hole punch screen is interesting to me. I’m getting used to it and kinda like it. There is a setting that sets the margin of the screen to exclude it from the display area should you not like the appearance of it. I like the extra 4mm of display, personally. The physical buttons are responsive and give a good “click” feeling when pressed. My only complaint is how the volume keys are on the opposite side from the power button. I find myself taking accidental screen shots too often because of this. Again, it also shows that the buttons operate very nicely.
All in all, I’m happy with the performance of the OnePlus Nord N10. It’s completely worth the asking price and has performance that would be worth a lot more in other brands flagships. To me, it’s positives far outweigh the class. No regrets in my purchase as I would buy the OnePlus Nord N10 again.
*Update 4/15/21* Still pleased with the N10. It’s still a solid performer for the price. The only negative I have found is that sometimes the fingerprint sensor it a little twitchy. On occasion, it won’t pick up my fingers. A quick screen off and back on or just unlock with pin entry.

Unable to use the Bluetooth function on my Samsung sound bar if you get about 10ft away if starts to break up and at about 15ft it cuts completely out and on my ear pods it will not play at all. The calling over WIFI is horrible if you have the WIFI on and attempt to make a call it will ring on their end but not yours and it will not allow voice to travel either way. I am having a replacement sent but from where I stand now don’t buy this phone.

The mobile should have supported 5G on more than just T-Mobile and they don’t mention it clearly. Even on T-Mobile it’s not fully supportive only till medium bands of 5G are supported. Also, the sim should be a dual sim like all other variations of it but it’s actually single sim. Overall, other features of it are really good and performance and camera is more than decent for this price range so i give 3/5 ratings.

Gorgeous phone…but had to return because it is not Sprint compatible even though the description detais state “Unlocked for all carriers”. Too bad.

Bought this phone as a replacement for a family member. Being the tech guy, I helped set everything up. First impression was that the phone was very sleek looking and the second thing I noticed immediately was that this phone is a magnet for dust and our dog’s hair. Had to wipe it down and work in an area which was more clean. There is a camera bump in the back so make sure to get a case that will protect it so when you place it on a flat surface, it won’t scratch the lens.
It came with a pin for ejecting the SIM slot, manual, USB type C cable and wall adapter. The USB cable was a bit thicker than most phone cables I’ve owned so hopefully it holds up well over time. I unwrapped everything and started setting the phone up. It was pretty straight forward like most Android phones. Just follow the steps on the screen and have it sync to your Google account. While everything was being restored, I plugged in the charging cable and didn’t think much of it. I think it had less than 50% power. Within 30 minutes or less, the whole phone was already fully charged. Quite impressive.
The phone itself performed very smoothly and there were no hiccups while I was using it. Camera takes decent pictures. The family member this phone will go to is a casual user. Mainly uses it to trade stocks, check emails and watch videos on it.
Will definitely look into getting another OnePlus phone in the future. I have been eyeing the flagship models for a while but am still under lease with my current phone.

Superb phone in almost every way. Some Google bloatware and you’ll need to work hard limiting Google’s invasiveness on this device. Camera could be better. But overall–incredible buy! Dazzling screen, great battery life, fast. If you want something better you’ll have to pay more than double what you pay for this beauty.

Probably the best phone you can buy for under 300$. Rivals 500-700$ phones. Blazing fast and easy to use. Excellent camera, clean UI, solid build.
It plays large, fast games with ease, no lagging or skipped frames.
Upgraded from a Moto G5 plus and only paid 50 more for this than I did 3 years ago for that. Wow what an upgrade!
Works great on Verizon just popped my sim card in and I was up and running in no time. However the 5G won’t work with Verizon at this time but I didn’t buy it for that reason.
So far everything works as advertised. Couldn’t be happier. If your on the fence about buying it, don’t wait it’s worth every penny.
