OnePlus Nord N300 official with Dimensity 810 5G, 48MP camera

OnePlus has announced its latest phone of the affordable Nord series in the US. The newly announced Nord N300 succeeds last year’s Nord N200 5G and brings a bigger display, faster chip, and faster charging among other upgrades. So, let’s walk through the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the OnePlus Nord N300 in Nepal.

OnePlus Nord N300 Overview:

To being with, OnePlus Nord N300 is not a phone built from the ground up. Like many other budget and mid-range phones in the Nord lineup, OnePlus Nord N300 is a rebranded Oppo phone. You can find the Nord N300 listed as Oppo A77 5G in many Asian markets. There is also a 4G variant of the phone available in Nepal.

Design and Display

That aside, let’s talk about the design. OnePlus Nord N300 looks like a premium phone with its rear matte finish. The sides are flat and the edges round. OnePlus is offering the phone in two color options: Black and Blue. Over on the front, OnePlus Nord N300 features a 6.56-inch LCD screen with a waterdrop notch. While the screen is bigger, it makes the phone look outdated even when compared to its predecessor because of the notch. The refresh rate is unchanged at 90Hz but the resolution is reduced to just HD+.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, OnePlus Nord N300 packs the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chip. It is a 6nm chip with two Cortex-A76 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. The chip is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage. You can even expand the latter using an external SD card but that means giving up on the dual-SIM functionality.

Camera

The dual-tone rectangular camera module on the back of the OnePlus Nord N300 is home to a 48MP primary and a 2MP depth sensor. They are accompanied by an LED flash. Over on the front, the notch encloses a 16MP shooter, which is an upgrade over the 8MP camera on the Oppo A77 5G.

Rest of the specs

OnePlus Nord N300 5G has a 5,000mAh battery and supports 33W fast charging. A compatible charger is included in the box. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and supports 2D face unlock. It runs on Android 12 with OnePlus’s OxygenOS on top.
