OnePlus announces the 90 Hz, $240 “Nord N200” for North America

OnePlus' latest cheap phone launching in North America is the "OnePlus Nord N200 5G." The phone is a follow-up to the $180 Nord N100 from last year, and with OnePlus' customary yearly price increases, the N200 is up to a still-dirt-cheap $240.

Considering the $240 price, it sounds like you're getting a pretty capable entry-level phone.

The phone (and those specs) are official today, but for some reason, OnePlus isn't releasing a full spec list.

Blass says the phone will have a 2400×1080 LCD, NFC, a microSD slot, and sub-6 GHz 5G support (not mmWave), which is expected at this price point.

The leaked specs put the phone on Android 11.

As far as the competition goes, the cut-off point for any cheap phone is $350, since that's the price of the excellent Pixel 4a with three years of updates.
