Although OnePlus has a larger number of devices than originally planned on the schedule for its rapid approach Launch event “Cloud 11”, the company is unlikely to unveil ultra-affordable Android handsets in the very near future.
But if you’re a die-hard fan of the brand on a tight budget, you can currently choose between the Nord N20 5G and Nord N200 5G at lower prices than ever…with one key requirement.
Just like its slightly more expensive, smaller, high-end sibling, the 5G-enabled Nord N200 is on sale at an unprecedented discount at Best Buy with mandatory prior carrier activation. This can certainly be inconvenient for buyers who may not want to make that decision upfront for one reason or another, but if you’re focusing on a specific carrier, you’ll probably find it hard to turn down the option of paying a only Benjamin for this thing.
Normally priced at $239.99, the unlocked OnePlus Nord N200 5G is just $50 off without carrier activation, sporting a surprisingly smooth (even for its list price) 6.49-inch IPS LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate capabilities and a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels.
The rest of the specs are understandably unimpressive…with the worthy exception of a 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at speeds up to 18W. Not something you’d typically expect to get. get it for a measly $99.99, and the same goes for the handset’s 5G connectivity.
Is one of the all around best budget phones on the market today? Probably not, but even when you add the Snapdragon 480 processor, 13+2+2MP triple rear-facing camera system, a single 16MP selfie shooter and 64GB internal storage paired with a RAM count of 4 GB to the value equation, you will find that the The Nord N200 5G is essentially unmatched at its new all-time low price.
