OnePlus Nord N20 5G: Succeeding last year’s N10

OnePlus has now released a successor to last year’s OnePlus Nord N10 5G – Nord N20 5G. The phone brings some upgrades over N10 and is rumored to hit the Nepali market within a few months. So, here we will look at the specs, features, availability, and the expected price of the OnePlus Nord N20 5G in Nepal.

OnePlus Nord N20 5G Overview

Display and Design

The new Nord series installment flaunts a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with 1080×2400-pixels resolution. It boasts a 409-pixel density along with a 20:9 aspect ratio and 85.3% screen-to-body. They also support an Always-on display but compromise on refresh rate since it has 60Hz while previously, its predecessor had the standard 90Hz.

Likewise, the phone weighs 173 grams and embeds 159.9×73.2×7.5mm in dimension. There are two big and one small camera bulge on the back panel of the device which is also accompanied by an LED flash on the left. The rest of the space is matte textured. It is available in a single-color option of Blue.

Performance and Memory

Powering the phone is Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset based on a 6nm fabrication process. It integrates an octa-core CPU with two Kryo 660 Gold (@2.2GHz) and Kryo 660 Silver (1.7GHz) cores coupled with Adreno 619 graphics processor.

There is a single memory configuration of 6/128GB of UFS 2.2 for the phone. You can also expand your internal storage up to 512GB via a dedicated microSD card. Over to the software front, the device boots on Android 11 on top of OxygenOS 11. This is quite a disappointment because Android 12 was expected by many and OnePlus had it pre-installed in the OnePlus 10 Pro.

Camera and Audio

Under the hood, OnePlus Nord N20 5G brings a triple camera setup at the rear panel. It is led by a 64MP primary lens with an f/1.8 aperture and PDAF support. Further, there is an 8MP ultrawide sensor which is accompanied by a 2MP camera for portrait shots.

Upfront, there is a 16MP selfie snapper with an f/2.4 aperture. Both rear and front cameras can record videos up to 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. Moreover, there is a loudspeaker system for audio. You can also make use of the 3.5mm headphone jack for music and calls.

Battery and extras

Fueling the handset is a medium 4,500mAh battery with a 33W fast charging capacity. The charging is done via USB Type-C 2.0 which can also be used for data transfer. Likewise, there is an optical under-display fingerprint sensor followed by a software-based face unlock and other standard ones like pattern and pin.

Moving on, there are connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS (dual-band GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS), and NFC.
