OnePlus Nord N10 5G: Review of Key Features
Design and Build Quality
Surprisingly, N10 looks like a realme phone if the logo is removed. This phone appears with an amazing midnight ice color. The design aesthetics of N10 is not amazing like the Nord series phones. Unlike other OnePlus phones, the premium feel is missing in the Nord N10. Both of its back panel and framework are built with plastic. It would be wise to apply a back cover with this phone as its glossy back-panel is fingerprint hungry.

The N10 comes in a manageable size (163 x 74.7 x 9 mm) and weight (190g), though a bit thicker and heavier than its mid-range ancestor Nord phone. Undoubtedly, N10 is lighter than the similarly priced competitor phones. It has a punch-hole display on the front side. On the rear side, you get a quad-camera housing with a slightly raised bump. There is also a back-mounted fingerprint sensor. This sensor may take some time to read the fingerprint.
Standard Display
OnePlus provides an IPS panel in the N10’s display which may disappoint the Nord fans. The display size (6.49-inch) is good for regular tasks. N10 offers Full HD plus resolution (1000 by 2400 pixels with 20:9 ratios) and 406 PPI densities. The color punches, sharpness, and cooler tones are wonderful. Its display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 version. It is good but version 5 would have been better.

OnePlus Nord N10 has a 90Hz refresh rate like the Nord phone. But you may experience some stuttering while opening or closing apps. If the phone is left unattended for some moments, the 90Hz refresh rate drops down to 60Hz. And, it takes time to reach its full refreshing capacity when you start operating the phone again.
The face unlock works fine. This phone bears a ~83.5% screen-to-body ratio. The bezels look slightly big that spoils the premium feel. With 450 nit brightness, its outdoor visibility performs average. It lacks Widevine L1 support.

Camera Specification
On the rear side, the OnePlus Nord N10 sports 64MP (f/1.8) main sensor, 8MP (f/2.3) ultra-wide sensor, 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor and a 2MP (f/2.4) macro sensor. Its main rear camera is built with an Omnivision OV64B sensor. Its sensor size is 1/72-inch and pixel size is 0.79 micron.
Under direct sunlight, you can capture some decent shots with good color contrast. But, the low-light pictures may show some grains. In portrait mode, the edge detections and blurring levels are good in the proper light. However, the picture quality is average. Though over-image-processing may irritate some people, the images look super smooth.

The 8MP ultra-wide camera has a 119-degree field-of-view. But the performance is not so impressive, as the images lose some details. Both the depth and macro cameras deliver average performance. In the video section, N10 can shoot the utmost 4K footage at 30fps through the rear camera. It is also capable of shooting 1080p video at 30fps and 60fps.
Now let’s turn to the front camera. It has an 8MP (f/2.1) selfie camera. Under ample light conditions, you can capture nice photos. The images can hold enough sharpness and details. However, in low light, the images captured by the front camera may dishearten you. With the front camera, 1080p footage can be captured at 30fps and 60fps. You can also shoot 720p slo-mo videos at 240fps.
Overall, the picture and video quality are average. But in this budget, other competitors like, Poco X3 or realme 7 Pro is offering better performance.
