OnePlus is said to launch two new Smartphones today. They are N10 and N100, and the company has already teased it on the official Twitter handle. Now, ahead of launch, let’s compile all the leaks and rumors to get a clear picture of what’s coming.
While everyone thought OnePlus Nord was the name of mid-range OnePlus, the company said it was the beginning of something. The Nord began its journey in Europe and India but missed out on the US. Before we could call them biased towards the latter, they are bringing two new devices and this is supposedly launching there first. Now, we are a bit hesitant with the naming scheme but nonetheless, it looks like OnePlus will simply call them Nord N10, and N100.
OnePlus Nord N10 5G Design, Ports
The former is probably a 5G device whereas the latter is a 4G-only smartphone. The Nord N10, from the leaks so far, looks to borrow designs from OPPO. For instance, the camera module that leaked earlier is reminiscent of the OPPO A53. We have a rounded rectangle design but due to four rear cameras, the shorter edges are a bit flatter than the A53. You can get a clear picture of what it could like below. At the front, the display has a single punch-hole at the top left.
We sadly miss out on OnePlus’ traditional “alert slider” but they have similar volume and power button placements like any OnePlus device. However, a physical fingerprint at the back means, we miss out on the in-display ones. Although, we aren’t sure if the display would be an LCD or AMOLED. Anyway, we can expect OnePlus’ typical glass sandwich design and ports like USB-C, stereo speakers here. Surprisingly, the leaks hint at a return of a 3.5mm headphone jack but let’s put a pin on that for now.
OnePlus Nord N10 5G Specifications
The OnePlus Nord N10 5G is said to have a 6.49-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. As said earlier, it could either be an LCD to cut costs or host an AMOLED panel without in-display biometrics. Under the hood, it will reportedly feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G SoC, paired with 6GB RAM, and 128GB storage. That said, there may or may not be other variants.
For cameras, the rear setup is likely to get a 64MP main lens which is a first for a OnePlus device. The auxiliary lenses are probably an 8MP ultra-wide, and two 2MP sensors. Sadly, there is no information on the selfie shooter yet but we can expect at least a 16MP sensor.
The device might draw power from a 4,300mAh battery and charge via USB-C port. While the fast charging specs aren’t out yet, we can’t rule out the possibility of an 18W charging capability. Being an OnePlus device, we can expect it to run the latest OxygenOS 11 out of the box but let’s not get ahead of ourselves till launch.
Nord N10 5G Price, Availability
The Nord N10 5G is expected to be priced below $400 to counter the likes of Apple, and Google here. Apple’s iPhone SE 2020, and Google’s Pixel 4a are hovering around the $350-$400 price points. And we can expect OnePlus to follow suit, if not higher.
For availability, leaks so far say that both the Nord N10 5G, and Nord N100 are headed for a launch in the USA, but let’s wait for the official word.
