This is the one plus Nord N 20 5G. If you're outside us.You probably are pretty familiar with the one plus brand. They became most widely known for offering flagship caliper smartphones with all the top features and specs at a more affordable price. Point here in the states through one plus hasn't quite gained. The same widespread recognition in the higher-end space like Samsung apple or even Motorola and more recently they've transitioned into offering some of the most affordable budgets 5 G smartphones. This device the N 200 5 G is exactly nearly the cheapest 5 G smartphone for us. Carriers particularly t-mobile and metro and a more direct competitor to the Samsung a32 5g the t-mobile revel and Motorola's moto stylus and 5 G ace. the 200 to 300 range at that price point. You can expect some compromises but with one plus still touting their never settle tagline. I think fans of the brand do expect better than average specs solid features and a good overall value for the money the N 20 5 G offers a lot and I think some aspects of this phone do exceed that budget branding but there's certainly been some settling that might make you reconsider this device versus the competition physically the N 20 5 G. I think is the best looking most modern most well-designed device in that budget 5 G space. 
It's a good-looking phone from every angle and it starts upfront the 6.49-inch display is surrounded by relatively minimal bezels all around. There's a slight chin at the bottom a corner hole-punch camera cut out up top and a nearly 84 screen-to-body ratio. Overall compared to the notched selfie cameras and more obvious borders of some other phones. You get a lot fewer distractions and a more high-end look with this phone around back. This phone sports a metallic-like faded blue finish that is still plastic but gives off a much more premium vibe paired with a polished camera module and chrome blue metal-like frame. This phone looks and feels like a higher-end device and that's something. I like design-wise one plus did an awesome job also the overall form factor of the phone is a bit smaller and more comfortable too. It's not drastically different. I certainly wouldn't call it a small device but

compared to the usual 6.6 or 6.7-inch smartphones falling just shy of 6 and a half makes. This phone
easier to use with one hand taking a look around all the rest of the physical traits. You'd want to be here too. This phone does have expandable storage via a micro-sd card slot which you'll need since you get just 64 gigabytes of internal storage more on that later. There's a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. I appreciate it's maybe not as fast as some others. I've tried. But it works well enough and is paired with face unlock which is quick. I can usually get into the phone almost as soon as. I pick it up one plus also kept the headphone jack down below alongside the USB-C port and the single speaker on this phone offers a pretty good out loud listening experience I think physically the n 200 has a lot going for it. But let's get into some of the specs and features and talk about the overall user experience.
There are some important things to discuss with the screen on this thing one plus went with 2400 by 1080 resolution is LCD panel now on the one hand.This is a very sharp-looking display at some 405 pixels per inch. You're getting a crisp viewing experience with tons of detail and I think.If you're picky about pixels. You won't have any complaints.This is the sharpest display in that budget 5 G category but like. I've said before the LCD panel isn't going to be as bold or as bright as OLED which you could get on similarly priced devices though probably at a lower resolution, fortunately. I do think one plus brought a better than average LCD that still pops and can still be viewed well outdoors and overall I do think the viewing experience is overwhelmingly solid also the display itself is a 90-hertz panel. So you get that fast and smooth experience with everything.You do on the device and that not only makes. The phone looks faster but also feels ultra-responsive.I know. You can't have it all with these more affordable smartphones and a sharp-looking 90-hertz screen. That's still LCD isn't a bad combination but even a 720 OLED panel might have made sense on this particular phone based on its smaller size while I don't necessarily consider the screen to have any major compromises the internal specs that power This phone does seem like they miss the mark a bit more the processor inside is the snapdragon 480 5 G chipset which by itself isn't bad but you're stuck with just four gigs of ram in this phone and 64 gigs of internal storage. 
This is why I mentioned earlier that an sd card is a must-have add-on also. There aren't any other configuration options for the n200. This is the only model the only spec so you couldn't get any more ram or any built-in storage even if you wanted to know the specs are one thing. It comes down to how this phone performs and with this. There are a couple of factors to consider in general. I've always been a fan of what one plus does with the android skin and oxygen os.This is a unique take on a relatively stock android experience and I think it's usually pretty fast fluid and well-optimized but with that being said.I have found this n200 to be a little more susceptible to jitters joltiness a bit of input lag or other performance blips that I haven't noticed on some other one plus devices before. I can't tell if it's a spec issue software optimization deal or something else but it's not the overwhelmingly positive software experience that I expected furthermore. I think this phone does suffer a little bit in having only four gigs of ram. apps just don't stay current and I often find that once you have five or six things opened up jumping back into something else usually requires a refresh now, fortunately. If you're focused on one task whether that be social media use or web browsing or even some gaming. The phone will perform well and I don't think. There's anything this device can't handle one plus is gaming mode which hides notifications adjusts the drop-down menu touch areas and can even restrict background usage to enhance performance also suggests that more graphics-heavy apps were considered with this device and in-game performance is quite good all things considered.
I didn't experience the jitters or frame drops that were more prevalent in-app launching or scrolling but I think all in all with one plus in particular there's always been a higher than average expectation for the overall specs and performance and the semi-frequent performance blips. This phone showed had me feeling as though the n200 wasn't quite up to the one plus standard.when It comes to battery life the 5000 milliamp battery is plenty big to power through the day, to say the least, and this is certainly a potentially two-day kind of smartphone. if you aren't a particularly heavy user you could easily exceed 15 or 16 hours of screen on time under normal use which is great and battery life just hasn't been a concern with this phone the included 18-watt charger and one plus branded bright red cable are great to have as well. There's no cheating out with the accessories and you'll be able to get about a 30 charge in 30 minutes but again with one plus often touting the fastest charging speeds available on their higher-end phones. I think something a bit faster than this fast charger maybe 25 watts would have been nice after all.It does still take nearly an hour and a half to get back up to 100. Finally, let's talk about the camera setup and to be honest. I can look past every other minor critique. I've given this phone except for its camera capabilities hardware wise the specs almost immediately set the stage.
You get a 13-megapixel main lens 2-megapixel macro lens and 2-megapixel depth sensor. There's no wide-angle here which is the first bummer and the 2-megapixel macro isn't a necessary add-on the selfie camera is a more respectable 16-megapixel shooter and actually inside the camera app one plus does offer an array of shooting modes and features that seem to be better than average. There's a night mode manual that controls an extra HD filter hdr support and an ai add-on to artificially boost the color and detail of certain scenes but the real-world results with this phone just don't add up and compared to the major progress another budget. phones have made over the years this sort of feels like a step back the n200 has the potential to take a good shot outdoors and great lighting things can look pretty good but inconsistency is really what gets this phone every other shot looks duller dimmer and void of a lot of detail compared to what you might want.You're also just at the mercy of the main lens. There are no ultra-wide no real zoom capabilities besides 5x digital and night mode and low light shots, in particular, can often turn out harsh with video I thought this phone did a better job it's relatively smooth no major focus hunting issues. It's maxed out at 1080 30 fps but considering what you get with pictures the video capabilities are a pleasant surprise overall though I'm sort of disappointed by the less than ideal results. I was getting with this phone. If I had the choice I'd much rather shoot with Samsung's a32 5g for example which offers way more capabilities and features and better real-world results for sure than this at a similar price and it's the camera setup as a whole that's probably the biggest weak point for this phone, all in all, I'm a little more critical of one plus simply because they have always been the brand to tout more features and more specs at a more affordable price but with this budget and 205g.
There are certainly some aspects that fall short I think it's a great-looking phone well built nicely designed .it's a unique size too. It's got a decent display the viewing experience is pretty positive but the performance blips and subpar camera are certainly noticeable compromises for an otherwise decent device you get what you pay for though. This is one of the cheapest 5 G phones after all I think you'll just need away what's most important for you.So there you go those are my thoughts on the one plus
