OnePlus Nord N300 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The OnePlus Nord N300 is OnePlus's 2022 budget model for carrier markets: a Dimensity 810, a 6.56-inch 90 Hz LCD, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 33 W charging at $230 new for 4/64 GB. Used units sell around $65 across a fifteen-sale sample. Software support length was never declared in our data.

Display and design

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD refreshes at 90 Hz with 500 nits of peak brightness; screen quality is 29/100. The 190 g body scores 86/100 on compactness; a formal IP rating is not part of the spec. The 90 Hz panel and the 33 W charging put this model a half-step above the 2021 N200 in daily feel.

Performance

The Dimensity 810 posts everyday responsiveness 26/100 and gaming 6/100 — a competent entry platform that keeps the daily workload smooth enough and handles casual titles, though anything heavier is out of scope.

Camera

The camera is a single 48 MP main sensor without stabilization — no ultrawide, no telephoto, no close-up lens; camera score 10/100. Daylight record shots are the entire capability envelope, and the phone is honest about it.

Battery and charging

Battery life scores 40/100 on the 5,000 mAh cell, while 33 W charging scores 15/100 — the fastest charging in this OnePlus budget generation and the model's practical differentiator. Resale holds at 92/100, close to the top of our scale.

Verdict

Around $65 used, the Nord N300 is a battery-and-charging phone with a single camera and an undeclared update history; it suits a communication-first buyer on a strict budget. The OnePlus Nord N30 5G is the direct successor with a sharper screen and a better camera, and the OnePlus Nord N20 5G trades a similar used price for an OLED panel.
