One Plus N30 5G

I bought this phone in August and have been using it daily for 4 months now.In short, the Nord N30 5G meets all of my needs, and I'm very impressed with the quality.I chose this phone after reading reviews on a tech blog website, comparing phones from OnePlus and various other brands. My two biggest criteria were: 1. Low cost, and 2. Long battery life. I don't care much about high camera quality or screen quality, or running high-spec games. I really just needed a phone that could handle running important apps like GPS/navigation, phone calling, and internet browsing for a long time during a long workday -- without overheating or draining the whole battery quickly. I just had way less stress all around with this new phone when using it for work or leisure.Positives:Everything positive I read online was indeed true. The CPU chip seems good -- The apps I use the most load quickly, and don't cause each other to crash when running at the same time. This is especially important when you must use bloated or optimized apps. The overall battery life is huge, and the battery recharges VERY quickly with the high-speed red cable. There's a lot of internal storage by default, so I won't have to worry about external memory for a while. The screen seems bright enough and high-resolution enough for me. When I use the camera, the pictures usually come out clear despite unsteady hands. Sound quality is great. User controls make sense, though I had to get used to a few new swipe motions. It's working just fine on my local Verizon network. Physical buttons for power and volume, wired headphones port.Concerns:This phone is heavier than any of my previous phones, so that takes some getting used to. There are various system options for changing how notifications and notification sounds work for the whole system or for individual apps, but the sub-menus all look similar and I have difficulty understanding which settings are taking priority. Finally, the physical volume and power buttons are positioned perfectly across from each other so you can click them to take a photo or screenshot -- however, this means it's very easy to accidentally do that when just trying to pick the phone up or pull it out of your pocket.In conclusion, I highly recommend this phone if you need a new work phone and you're trying to make ends meet.

I think this phone is a great value and it performs almost as good as a flagship, it's not quite a snappy, it takes a little longer to restart, but if you're into Mobile gaming I can play games like csr2 racing and war robots which are very graphic intensive games and most budget phones can't even come close playing those without a bunch of lag and stuff and this phone is killing it for playing those games but with a 600 Snapdragon inside I'm not surprisedSome of my other budget phones would lock up when trying to do something as simple as scroll through Amazon listings on the Amazon app but this phone just works great, it's a very very very good phone and you're not going to find a better value than this honestly, I've had some similar phones and they were nowhere near as good this thing just rocks for what it is kind of a great value,. I think the screen looks great, the colors are great and the camera takes nice pictures but if you're going to be taking photos of anything moving make sure you turn it over to pro mode because if you're trying to take a picture of an animal or something that's moving in almost always turns out blurry so you want to set your shutter speed to stop motion which it won't do in the manual mode from what I've noticed so that's my only complaint is the camera always takes blurry photos unless you set the shutter speed manually in pro mode but it's a great phone and you should definitely get one of these babies if you're in need of a really nice phone in this class

This is a great budget phone. OnePlus is great at squeezing quality inside moderately priced phones.Battery is fantastic, even with the screens refresh rate on max.You get some of my favorite classics. Normal headphones jack. Unlock button on the side of the phone that works as a finger print scanner.Biggest con is the camera. Don't let the large lenses and high MP count trick you. Low light picture quality and little stabilization means blurry photos.

Always love this phone and this brand. The product works quite well especially when you add the case to it keeps it nice and comfortable. Large battery life and extremely good memory for the price. Definitely would buy it again if I needed another one

Great phone. Reasonably priced. We have 3 of them in our family now. Works great, easy to use. Loads pages quickly and has a lot of storage. Well made and good size screen.

I love it and would love to give it 5 stars... except every time I am on a phone call if I try to do anything on the phone (like check a text or open an app) it ends my call. No warning. No sounds. The other person thinks they got put on hold. But for me the call is just gone. It's not my service, it's the device. If I make a call on discord I can do whatever I want. But regular phone calls? Can't do a single thing.There are so many other features I love on the phone. The battery life and charging speed even without the fancy fast charger is great. The extra loud volume is an awesome feature. But it's a phone. If it can't even function as a phone we have a serious problem.Update September 2025: changing my rating to 1 star.The call problem has gotten even worse. Frequently I will go to answer a call and as soon as it connects, the call hangs up. Even more fun, it only hangs up on my end. For the caller it's silence. Then when I call back it looks like they have 2 calls from me active. If they try to call me back it is a recurring problem. Eventually the phone tells me I have more than 2 active calls and can't make another call until I end one (which is impossible since it ends the calls before I even answer them and my screen shows no active calls). I bought 2 of these phones and they both have this issue. Discord voice calls work fine. The phones calling me only have this problem with me. I've tried every update, setting, whatever. Do not buy this phone.
