Exclusive: OnePlus CEO Reveals Nord N200 Phone Details

“From the premium and ultra-premium OnePlus 9 series to the OnePlus Nord N200 5G—our newest and most affordable 5G device ever—we’re providing more choices and easier access to 5G for our users,” OnePlus CEO Pete Lau said in an email interview.

Last year’s OnePlus Nord N10 5G took the US prepaid market by storm. Reports from Wave7 Research said that the N10 and its cheaper 4G sibling, the Nord N100, lifted OnePlus’s market share to over 15% at Metro by T-Mobile.

Now OnePlus is returning with a phone that brings more of the N10’s features closer to the N200’s price point. Although the N100 had a 90Hz display, it was only 720p, and the phone was a 4G device. The N200 5G will have a 6.49-inch, 1080p LCD, the company said, upgrading the screen to the N10’s level.

An image provided to PCMag by OnePlus also shows three rear cameras, a hole-punch front-facing camera, and what appears to be a side-mounted combination fingerprint scanner and power button.

The company initially announced the N200 in early June, and as usual, it’s trickling out specs to get people’s attention. The device doesn’t have an official launch date yet.
