My favorite site for this kind of info is Notebookcheck. What you can do is search the processor that is inside of your phone (or the phone you want to buy) and then it shows a collection of benchmarks for that processor, and that will include your phone, or the phone you want to buy. It can get kinda tricky if you are looking at older phones because after a while the benchmarks get updated to newer versions and you will not be able to compare across generations, but still it's better than nothing.

For example the Galaxy S9 has the Snapdragon 845, here is the Notebookcheck page for that processor. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qua...446.0.html

And the newest processor that Notebookcheck has is the Snapdragon 865, here is that one https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qua...194.0.html

Here is the Snapdragon 690 in the Nord N10 https://www.notebookcheck.net/Qua...783.0.html

The Snapdragon 690 inside this phone is roughly the same performance as your Galaxy S9, but the Snapdragon 690 has a slower GPU, roughly half the speed as your S9
Maybe it's not as much of a concern at this price point, but OnePlus has gone on the record that this phone will never be updated beyond 2020's Android 11 (it ships with 2019's Android 10) and that all support (even bug fixes) will be dropped after 2022. Just a heads-up.

I've had this phone for 5 days now. I had a One Plus 6 before I got this. It does have pretty low specs which makes sense for a budget phone but it still gets the job done. I can game just fine and iPhone users don't complain about how blurry my pictures are anymore. There was a better deal in my opinion earlier this month where you could get it 10% off with a free pair of one plus buds which I'm loving so far. Basically one plus version of air pods.

It is a one-time use code and not sure where you get that code from.
Interesting, I used Honey and that's the code it ended up showing in checkout. It didn't appear to apply any of the codes at first but once I went further in checkout, one did apply for 10% off. Maybe it was SURPRISE10 that then converted to a one time code.

I think he is referring to the metro deal. This deal, buying direct from oneplus should be unlocked.

It's a little odd that Nord N10 has a much better camera sensor than 8T.

surprise10 works here as well. It doesn't show up until after you enter your address.

Blows away the 6s and slow as turtle compared to the se2. Beyond that, everything else is better here.

Thanks for this, I ended up getting a N100 for my dad for $135 before tax with this code. He doesn't care for 5G on his phone anyways so it ended up being a pretty nice deal.

Not dual sim as it states on their website. I have one and can confirm.
It's two-sided SIM tray. Are you sure it can't hold a SIM on both sides?

Quote from angle123 :
5g phone for $250? How is this possible?
The Samsung Galaxy A71 5G I picked up recently ended up being around $170 out of pocket in total.....
5G deals on the mid-level phones will be the norm for the next 6-12 months as the flagship phones demand a premium but slowly come down over that same period.

One thing to note, ALL semiconductors are going into a heavy allocation due to poor planning on capital equipment purchases, issues at the wafer fabs, logistics nightmares, chip/die-packaging shortages, the list is endless.
COVID has disrupted the global supply chain more than anyone outside of our industry realizes. Not sure how this affects 5G deals going forward, meaning - it could only be some phone makers or it could disrupt the majority.

Even the most positive, sunny, and unrealistic forecasts see problems lasting at an absolute minimum for the next 6+ months.
Most everyone else pegs these problems to last 18-24 months before the market becomes stable and the chipmakers catch up with demand.
Go check reporting on Samsung, Broadcom, NXP, Qualcomm, T.I., etc.

It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Quote from MattTheRadarTech :
I couldn't find anything on Google about disabling 5G for this phone. Can we disable it on the Nord N10?

Yes it's in network settings. You can change it to LTE and lower only. Keeping it on 5G causes the battery life to drain faster because it is constantly searching for the 5G signal.

I bought this with 10% discount last week , and now they are selling this way cheaper than I paid with discount, so I contacted the customer service and they have offered me the difference, that's a great customer service. My credit card didn't have price protection so am happy with the purchase. Phone is good , for the enthusiastic people out there please check the bandwidth of your provider before you buy, if you check Willmyphone work website it would clearly explains, thanks

4 hours SOT per day is not a light user.

Would this be a significant upgrade from an iPhone 6s Plus?
