Review on πŸ“± OnePlus Nord N10 5G Midnight Ice - International Version, Dual-SIM 128GB ROM + 6GB RAM, Factory Unlocked GSM/CDMA Android Smartphone by Enoch Sahay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The only disappointment is the battery. Otherwise great for less than 300 €.

I bought a Moto G 5G from Revain about a month ago to replace a phone with a cracked screen. Despite the fact that I immediately put a case on the phone from the outside, without paying attention, I dropped it. Yes, you guessed it, I cracked the screen (although you can hardly tell). Worse, the phone kept activating Google Assistant without my input. He even responded to snippets of conversation he overheard. Strange right! After being recommended by Consumer Report, I decided to try this Oneplus Nord N10 Dual SIM phone because I was sure it would work on TMobile just like Moto G 5G. Setup, like the previous Moto, was quick and easy. In fact, I prefer the fingerprint sensor on the back. It has a brighter screen than the Moto G 5G and in comparison its performance is almost the same with a refresh rate of 90ms or MHz. All apps run on it as expected, and the user interface isn't cluttered with significant junk. programs. Downloading is really easy and faster with my faster internet connection. You can tell that the processor is in the same league as the Moto G 5G, which is very good for the price. Overall CR was right, this is a very good phone for the money. Since it's also a dual SIM phone (you'll have to move the SD card to fit a second SIM in the cradle), it's great for international travel when we finally get to that. I downloaded my favorite apps. on it and it barely touches 128GB of ROM. Although I also have a 256GB SD card for music and photos (photography is my hobby). I tried to run Android Auto but the connection was not maintained. So I swapped out the cable (bad cables don't work well with Android Auto) and it works fine. Wireless Internet access. This phone has dual-band WiFi, so it can reach my ISP's speeds (about 100MB download) with no problem. Note. The Moto G 5G also had dual-band Wi-Fi. My old Moto Power phone only had single band capability. UP: Let me get that straight. For example the 'international' phones I've had before - Moto G Power 7 and 8, Moto G 5g and now this Oneplus Nord N10. These phones do NOT work on CDMA networks, although I see it in the product description (GSM/CDMA). So if you have a network like Verizon or Sprint and want to use a 5G phone that will work with those companies, make sure it's the US version, which is "definitely" CDMA compatible. The only problem is the battery, which is important to me. because my previous Moto G Power phones easily lasted three days on a single charge. CR said the phone had one of the best battery life scores. I think no! This phone, like the Moto G 5G, is almost dead for the rest of the day. But it lasts a day at least. This is the only disappointment I have with this phone or the Moto G 5G. Both are great budget 5G compatible phones that seem to work well on Tmobile's network. Will I get super-fast download speeds like network operators show in their commercials? NO! It's all marketing advertising. I canceled my cell phone service, so I know the truth. 5G has a "smaller" range than 4G. These speeds can only be achieved under the most ideal conditions. BUT, the phone offers faster data speeds than phones I've had that only ran on 4G. I recommend this Oneplus Nord N10 and the similar Moto G 5G as great phones that offer a faster processor, faster app responses, and slightly faster download speeds for less than $300. The Nord has a slightly brighter screen. Make sure you have a case to protect it.
