THE BOTTOM LINE
The OnePlus Nord N20 is a smooth, striking, and affordable phone; just don’t expect a flagship camera experience.
The highly anticipated Nord N20 aims to capture the true spirit of OnePlus phones: smooth performance and impressive design at a very competitive price. Last year's outstanding Nord N10 ($299.99) filled that bill in every way, with its 90Hz display, 5G support, and ultra-wide camera. The Nord N20 is slightly less successful in its goals. The phone looks distinctive and feels fast (both in terms of UI navigation and download speeds on T-Mobile's 5G network), but its cameras aren't very competitive. The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G ($279.99) remains our Editors' Choice award winner for budget-friendly Android phones because of its superior imaging capabilities and software upgrade policy. But if you aren't focused on camera quality, the Nord N20 is a compelling alternative.
