That said here is what the OnePlus Nord N10 5G has to offer;

Battery
Battery Capacity: Li-po 4300mAh
This is ultimately the most fascinating highlight of the Nord N10 5G. Battery capacity and charge duration are becoming increasingly important factors when developing smartphones and brands are taking note of this.
Smartphone manufacturers like OPPO have developed fast-charging systems like the 30W VOOC fast charging on the OPPO Reno 5F and 50W on the OPPO Reno 5.
OnePlus, on the other hand, have their Warp Charge 30T Fast-charging that offers up to 30W fast charge to their Li-Po 4300 mAh non-removable battery. The Nord N10 5G gives you up to a day’s power usage for only a 30-minute charge. It may not be as fast as OPPO, but it’s similarly impressive.
The battery system comes standard with a USB Type-C port and a 5V voltage.
Performance
Operating System: Android 10
CPU: 2.0 Ghz Octa-core (Snapdragon 690 5G)
RAM: 6GB
Internal Memory: 128GB
Micro SD: Yes (up to 512GB)
A 2.0Ghz Octa-core chipset powers the Nord N10 5G coupled with 6GB RAM. Compared to companies like OPPO and Xiaomi who have adapted to MediaTek chipsets, OnePlus are sticking with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon as seen on the Nord N10 5G.
Despite the recent market share grab, the snapdragon chipset has been a favorite among smartphone manufacturers especially when it comes to developing mid-range smartphones. Besides, the added 5G support is a huge advantage considering it’s finally available locally.
The 128GB internal storage lets you store dozens of your photos and any large files you may need. And if that’s not enough, a Micro SD card slot is presently expandable up to 512GB.
The OnePlus Nord N10 5G runs Android 10 out of the box but it’s a bit disappointing considering most mid-range smartphones today come with Android 11.

Camera
Rear Camera: 64 MP
Secondary Camera: 16 MP
LED Flash: Yes
The 64MP wide rear camera is also a significant highlight of the OnePlus Nord N10 5G. Coupled with an 8MP 119-degree ultrawide lens, a 2MP lens for close-up shots, and a 2MP depth lens for Zoom, all your favorite moments and memories captured will come out looking flawlessly clear and vivid.
In terms of software optics, the phone supports AI scene detection for a perfect background photo view, Nightscape mode to adjust brightness at night, and portrait mode for that extra blur effect that makes up close photos look amazing.
Display
Display Size: 6.49-inch
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 1080 x 2400 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 406 PPI
The OnePlus Nord N10 5G packs a 6.49-inch IPS LCD display. The 1080p screen resolution and 90Hz refresh rate make the phone’s display splendidly clear, smooth, and responsive to let you scroll fast all day, every day. The 406 PPI screen resolution density is also just enough to reduce eye strain outdoors.
The punch-hole architecture that the display sports, similar to the OPPO Reno 5F, offers ample screen space just wide enough to enjoy the ultimate visual experience and small enough to navigate through the phone.
Design
Dimensions: 163 x 74.7 x 9 mm
The gorgeous and perfectly curved design on the OnePlus Nord N10 5G is dazzling to look at. The phone’s slim and sleek nature makes it light while still gripping superbly on the palm of your hand. The phone is available only in Midnight Ice color.
