As previously seen in the leaked renders, the new OnePlus Nord N20 5G features a boxy design like the iPhone 13 lineup. It sports a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 64MP primary camera paired with monochrome and macro sensors. Over on the front, the device has a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a hole-punch cutout in the top left corner for the selfie shooter and a chunky lower bezel.

Being an affordable device, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G doesn’t feature OnePlus’ iconic alert slider. But it does have a power button on the right edge and a volume rocker on the left edge next to the SIM card tray. The device also features a USB Type-C port at the bottom next to a speaker grille and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

On the inside, the OnePlus Nord N20 5G packs Qualcomm’s 5G-enabled Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The device includes a microSD card slot for expansion up to 512GB. A respectable 4,500mAh battery rounds off the hardware and offers support for 33W wired fast charging with the included charging brick.

Pricing & Availability

The OnePlus Nord N20 5G will go on sale in the US starting April 28. It will be available through T-Mobile and Metro in a single blue colorway. Sadly, OnePlus has not shared the final pricing information at the moment, and the official press release also lacks details on some of the device’s hardware components. We’ll update this post with all the relevant information as soon as it becomes available.
