OnePlus is continuously seeding regular software updates for the OnePlus smartphones, alongside the OxygenOS 14 update. The company is pushing an incremental rollout for the OnePlus Nord N200 and OnePlus 9RT featuring the latest security patch and other fixes. The updates for both smartphones are region-limited.

OnePlus Nord N200 in the North American region is receiving firmware DE2117_11.C.28 with the December 2023 Android Security Patch. While the OnePlus 9RT India Variant is receiving the firmware MT2111_13.1.0.594(EX01) with the new security patch. Below is the official changelog, which is quite familiar for both the smartphones:

System

  • Integrates the December 2023 Android security patch to enhance system security. 

The updates on both smartphones are rolling out in a phased manner and may take some time to reach all units across the respective regions. The December 2023 security patch update for both devices will reach other regions very soon. However, users can manually check for updates by heading to Settings > About > Software Update > Check for Updates.

Users in India can submit bugs using Google Dialer, while in North America it is only possible via the OnePlus Community.

Additionally, the OnePlus 9RT will soon receive the OxygenOS 14 stable update, as the device has already received the OxygenOS 14 Open Beta update. Its successor, the OnePlus 10R, received Android 14 Open Beta 2 a few days ago. However, the OnePlus Nord N200 won’t receive the update as the smartphone was launched in 2021 and is set to get only three years of maintenance updates.

OnePlus is also bringing stable Android 14 to smartphones or tablet devices that are compatible. Recently, the OnePlus Pad received an update. The Udapte is already out for the OnePlus Nord 3, OnePlus 11R, OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus 11 Series, and others.

The post Black Friday Deal: Get OnePlus Nord N200 at its lowest price yet on Amazon US appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is no longer a brand that offers just premium flagship smartphones but also has a lineup of budget smartphones under OnePlus Nord branding. The OnePlus Nord N200 is the latest device in this series, priced at around $240.

With such low pricing, it’s obvious that the company compromised on some aspects of the smartphone. However, it seems that the device is good enough to survive JerryRigEverything’s durability test.

It’s noteworthy that during the bend test, something inside the phone seems to have snapped but what exactly happened has not been revealed by the YouTuber yet and for that, we will have to wait a bit longer. However, after the test, the device seems to be working properly even if something has broken internally.

In the scratch test for the display, the screen starts showing scratches from level 6 while level 7 starts having deeper grooves on the display panel which isn’t bad. This indicates that OnePlus opted for a glass display instead of a plastic panel.

The frame of the OnePlus Nord N200 is made up of plastic which can easily be scratched or cut off using a sharp object. Not just the frame, other components of the smartphone placed on the sides of the phone, including the volume button and a fingerprint scanner are also made using plastic materials.

The phone’s back panel, which appears to be made up of glass with a matte finish, is also made up of plastic, prone to scratches. The display of the smartphone survived the burn test. Although the screen went black for a certain area due to it, it started working again after a few seconds without any issues.

Last year, OnePlus began launching select models for select regions. The Nord N100, one of its budget offerings, was launched in North America and Europe. Today, OnePlus has announced a successor – the OnePlus Nord N200 – and it comes with 5G, a better display, and a slightly refreshed design.

Nord N200 Design

The OnePlus Nord N200 keeps the punch-hole display design of its predecessor but the rear has undergone some changes. The camera housing is not only larger but the sensors are too. The LED flash has also been moved to the bottom. Another significant change is the fingerprint scanner which is no longer on the back but now buried under the power button on the side.

OnePlus Nord N200 Specs

OnePlus has replaced the 6.52-inch screen with a smaller 6.49-inch one but upgraded the resolution from HD+ to FHD+. The display is still LCD and the refresh rate has been kept at 90Hz.

The Nord N100 was a 4G phone with a Snapdragon 460 processor but its successor comes with the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset. You still get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage with a MicroSD card slot to add more space if you want.

For the cameras, OnePlus is sticking to the same 13MP + 2MP + 2MP triple camera setup of last year’s model but has upgraded the selfie camera from 8MP to 16MP. The Nord N200 has an audio jack, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual-band Wi-Fi. It packs a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging and unlike the Nokia X20, it ships with a power brick.

The device runs OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box and should receive at least one OS upgrade.

Price and Availability

The OnePlus Nord N200 is priced at $240 in the US while Canadians will shell out CAD 320. It will be sold exclusively by T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile in the US and will also be sold unlocked by Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and on the OnePlus site. It will be available starting June 25

There have been speculations on the date of the launch of the latest OnePlus high-end smartphones, and a rumored June 15 date has been linked to the OnePlus Nord N200 5G. On the back of the recent launch of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G in India, a listing spotted on the US telecommunications regulator – FCC’s website points to the imminent launch of two OnePlus smartphones in the US and Canada. Furthermore, the listing indicates that the smartphone company may be unveiling two new models.

While OnePlus has officially confirmed the device, nothing has been officially revealed in terms of the launch date. However, the two devices spotted on the FCC website had model numbers DE2117 and DE2118. Some industry experts have speculated that the two devices were both variants of the Nord N200, as the details revealed in the FCC listing point in this direction. The imminent launch date is further accentuated with a similar listing of the devices on the Bluetooth SIG certification website.

Sources say that the two OnePlus smartphones may be variants of the Nord N200 for different countries. Both models have similar connectivity support, including 5G. The OnePlus Nord 200 5G could offer a mixture of features from some of the OnePlus predecessors, like the Nord N10 5G. It could come with the Snapdragon 480 chipset and a 5,000 mAh battery, with 18W fast charging support.

As we move closer to a possible June 15 launch in the US and Canada, we expect to see more details about the specs and price of the N200 5G, although sources have put the price within the $250 range. Thus, the coming days will likely justify the hype surrounding the Nord N200 5G.
