Third-party reviews

What customers like about OnePlus Nord N300 (4GB + 64GB)

  • Excellent battery life, often lasting a day and a half with moderate use.
  • Fast 33W wired charging (adapter included in the box) that is significantly faster than competitors in its price range.
  • Attractive and solid design that feels more premium than its low price suggests, with a matte finish and modern, flat edges.
  • Good 16MP selfie camera that produces vibrant, natural-looking photos.
  • Includes a 90Hz refresh rate display, which provides a smoother scrolling experience than standard 60Hz panels.
  • Supports 5G connectivity (specifically C-band on T-Mobile) and has good signal performance.
  • Comes with expandable storage via microSD card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack, features often missing in pricier phones.
  • OxygenOS software is close to stock Android, with useful customizations and minimal bloatware (aside from carrier-specific apps).

What customers don't like about OnePlus Nord N300 (4GB + 64GB)

  • Performance can be sluggish and laggy, with the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset struggling with demanding apps and games.
  • Display is only 720p (HD+) resolution, which is considered low and can appear grainy on a screen of this size.
  • The phone is only guaranteed to receive one major Android OS update (to Android 13), a major drawback for long-term use.
  • Main rear camera performance is inconsistent, adequate in good light but poor and grainy in low light conditions.
  • The secondary 2MP depth sensor is largely considered useless and not a true second functional camera.
  • Video recording is capped at 1080p at 30fps with poor stabilization, lacking higher-resolution options like 4K.
  • Speakers lack depth and can sound 'tinny' and distort at high volumes.
  • Limited availability, as it is primarily locked to T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile carriers in the US.

Verdict

The OnePlus Nord N300 5G is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a 6.56-inch IPS LCD with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and a 720p resolution. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable UFS 2.2 storage, supporting 5G connectivity for enhanced mobile speeds. Its highlights include a large 5,000mAh battery with impressive 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging, a 48MP main camera alongside a 16MP selfie lens, and practical additions like dual stereo speakers, NFC, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, users may find the 4GB of RAM somewhat limiting for heavy multitasking, and the display's 720p resolution and lack of an ultrawide camera lens are notable drawbacks for its segment.
