Welcome. In front of me I have a
0:09
One Plus Nord N100 and today I will go over unboxing along with the overview of this
0:15
phone now I will say right of the bat at the beginning when I started looking for the
0:20
specification of this device it felt like oh this is a really
0:25
underwhelming device basically I honestly I didn't see a point of it till
0:29
I saw the price rate or price tag of it and then it kind of all made sense
0:36
So maybe I should start off by saying that whatever specifications you will hear
0:42
they will all be underwhelming, but the price of it being priced at 199 euros
0:48
makes the specifications really decent. So without further to do, let's just pop it open
1:00
Now as you can probably see there is some kind of paperwork on here
1:06
So quick start guide, I'm not really going to go into it. I don't really cares about quick starting guide
1:12
I'm pretty sure we all know how to use a cell phone in 2020
1:30
So, just put the little knifey away and pop it open. There we go
1:44
Now inside of the bags, on the top side we got nothing, so I'm just going to literally
1:51
put it away to the side. And from here we got some One Plus paperwork, so Sim ejectal I believe most likely
1:59
There is some ejectile along with the safety information and quick start guide, which is a second one in this case
2:08
So again, I don't really care. Straight to the side. Then we've got the phone itself, so let's set it to the side for now
2:18
And see what else we got, so cardboard, no one cares about that one
2:23
Then we got the cable. So again, this is... neatly branded in one plus colors kind of like it now the cable itself is a type C
2:34
we can see it in there so type C to type A and then the brake itself just a standard
2:43
one plus brick let me quickly see what kind of what is we dealing with here so this
2:48
looks to be 18 watts so it looks like one plus included a charger basically as
2:55
as good as their phone charging capability so props for that I hate when manufacturers
3:02
make a device that for instance charges at 18 watts and they give you a
3:07
10 watt charger it just like a slap to the face almost feels like so
3:11
props to one plus for actually giving you a charger that can charge at full speed
3:15
so nothing else in the back so I'm just setting it to the side and now let's get into the phone
3:20
itself so there we go let's power it on go and let's power it on go and let's again
3:35
told out to the side so all it's turning on I'm gonna say right of the
3:40
bad this comes with a 6.52 inch display and it is only a 720p so exactly 720 by
3:47
1600 display but something that I wasn't expecting it specifically at this price
3:52
range was the fact that it comes with a 90 hertz refresh rate so that is really nice I
3:57
would personally like to have a bigger resolution but honestly for this one the fact that it comes
4:03
with if I would have to choose well either one of them so either a higher resolution or higher
4:08
refresh rate I actually would straight up go with a higher refresh rate and that is just my
4:13
personal opinion and even though I'd like to see a higher resolution along with that
4:18
refresh rate, I am more satisfied with the fact that I have more of a smooth experience
4:25
on the phone itself. So I'm going to go quickly through a setup right here. Well, I'll continue
4:31
to mention other specifications, like the fact that it comes with a 82.9% screen-to-body ratio
4:39
So that is because we have a nice whole-punched camera right here. But we do have a fairly big
4:44
chin, as you can see at the bottom. Not very desirable. But it, it's very, it
4:48
honestly doesn't really bother me that much and it does have a 269 pixels per inch
4:56
that's a little bit underwhelming but that is strictly because of the 720p resolution
5:01
right here so instead of that the front glass front is a gorilla glass 3 and then
5:10
it looks like we have a it looks like plastic back and most likely plastic frame so
5:18
the device is by all means budget phone. So I'm basically skipping right here everything
5:23
Now as you also seeing there was an option for a fingerprint, we do have one on the back
5:29
I would more certainly prefer it on the side as a power key rather than on a back
5:35
I feel like the back sensor are kind of outdated, especially this one
5:39
It's kind of high up on there. I personally keep my phone in this kind of position when I use it
5:46
so I basically use it half way down and that puts my finger straight below it So kind of opposite to what Samsung used to do But if I were to adjust it I guess to this position and kind of hold it like so I guess
6:03
this could work. But as you can see, I'm not really holding the device too securely with this
6:08
especially when using only one hand. So in here we look like we have just a font to choose from
6:15
I'm going to kind of skip it, go with gesture navigation. that is just a better way of dealing with it in my opinion
6:22
I'm going to back out of it. Hopefully this will... Apparently I cannot skip it
6:29
So I have to go through it because I have no idea how to use gesture navigation in 2020
6:38
Okay, so hopefully I can now finish it up. Yep, there we go. And let's pop out the brightness to be maxed out now
6:47
This won't get super bright. This is only an IPS LCD display. The benefit of it is the fact that it has a 90 hertz refresh rate, which..
6:57
Let me quickly get a look at it if it comes enabled by default. And it actually looks like it is enabled by default
7:06
Let me just actually be certain about it, so I'll go into the display which most likely houses that setting
7:16
So, the fenced? Yep, there we go. So it is enabled by default at 90 hertz
7:26
So that is really nice that it comes in at 90 hertz at the very start
7:31
So apart from the display, we can go into the camera setup
7:37
So at the front we just have a single 8 megapixel sensor
7:41
I can shoot video with it at 1080p 30 frames. Nothing really special here
7:45
here. And then it does this annoying thing which I would really hope it already died out, but
7:52
apparently it's still going strong. So if we flip it over, we do have a triple camera setup
7:59
Now it seems like super kind of nice thing, but in reality it's not. So the only usable sensor
8:05
in my opinion, is the 13 megapixel white sensor, basically your main sensor that you will be using
8:10
100% of the time. And then we have the 2 megapixel macro, which
8:15
on the website they call it a bouquet lens but we will test it out
8:22
and then we also have a 2 megapixel depth sensor which I have a strong suggestion
8:28
will be outperformed by the simple 13 megapixel wide one but again we will test it out
8:35
so all those sensors and I can shoot out just a measly 1080p 30 frames
8:42
not even 60 so that is a little bit of a shame but I guess if you're already pushing
8:46
90 hertz refresh rate on a 720 p with a snapdragon 460
8:52
I guess I can't really complain here the device doesn't seem to
8:56
write off the bat let's see how if it chugs anyway and it seems to run fine
9:01
with whatever it comes with so can't really complain here but yeah
9:08
so getting straight to it I just get my little plenty and launch the camera camera
9:17
So I can open up just so you can see I have basically no photos in here
9:21
So whatever I'll be capturing right now will be exactly what I'll capture right now
9:29
So there we go. No photos apart from whatever this on wallpapers
9:35
So obviously those don't really apply. But yeah, so let's launch camera and see how well it does
9:43
So right now we are set to HDR Auto, photo mode, so basically everything automatic
9:53
I'm going to go with a portrait first. This is I assume the one that will be using the 2 megapixel depth sensor which they call
10:00
the pokey. So it should give me a better result in theory but in practice I assume it's just not going
10:08
to make a single difference. So... My hands are shaky a little bit
10:28
Okay, let's see, so these are the two photos that were you, that should be using the depth sensor. And..
10:38
Oh, no, no, this looks terrible. So the depth sensor isn't doing any justice for these photos
10:47
Maybe I can closing it up. So right over here, on the side, you can clearly see the lack of just any kind of detail in the needles
10:59
So they basically are barely okay right here. And then when it gets to the edge, the depth sensor just completely goes A-WOL
11:08
distinguish what is a backdrop and what is a still part of the main subject
11:14
And this basically persists all the way around, as you can see, till it basically reaches the
11:20
pot itself right here and then it becomes semi-decent. But anything above that is you can, we'll see right here just becomes a blurry pile of mess
11:30
So that is not good. So now I'm going to quickly go into just a..
11:38
a photo and see I believe this one won be using any kind of depth sensor so we see how that goes Okay so right now it actually launching automatically a macro lens You know disappeared
11:54
So yeah, I'm gonna in this case go with a macro, which I can get closer up to it
12:02
There we go. So this is going to be a macro and This is going to be an HDDR apparently. That's kind of how it automatically detects. So this is on the photo which does most of the work
12:14
for you. You don't get to really choose much. It just automatically picks everything for you
12:19
So this is the HDR normal photo. And it looks kind of terrible, honestly. I'm going to lie this
12:29
looks kind of bad. In general, funny thing is, the needles are less blurry than they were before
12:39
but everything is just more blurry in general. So I'm going to try to make it another photo because I just
12:43
I think I might have messed up how close I was and could be just my fault right here
12:49
And this is the macro shot. So it looks like it grabbed the focus right over here
13:01
So I can kind of get it close for you. You can see this is quite okay honestly for two megapixels
13:09
Can't complain. I've seen way worse shots. And this is not the worst. This is respectable. I would say and in this case it seems like a sensor that you might actually use for macro shots if you need them
13:25
But let me quickly try to get one more. Let's see HDR photo and then I'm going to also turn off the HDR and see if that will change anything
13:37
Actually, I don't want a macro lens stop it. Okay, so quickly check if this came out any better
13:50
Kind of there, but it's a little bit further than anything, everything else
13:56
It would be nice if I could actually just stop it from going into the macro
14:08
This doesn't seem to be like a good option right here. I turn that off and let's see if I can turn off anything
14:17
Okay, let's try it again. Stop with this macro. It's honestly weird that it's constantly picking macro
14:32
There we go, so get a look at this. So the photo comes out okay
14:42
It's a little bit I think more saturated than I would like
14:46
The needles are a little bit of reddish color on here even though they are not really in reality
14:54
Unless this is just like the lighting effect, how it just affects the shot
14:59
This might be the reason. But in general, as you can see it looks okay
15:04
It looks way better than if you go to the ones that use the bouquet
15:09
it was this one. one. So yeah, this is just other garbage. And honestly, I would actually suggest you to not
15:17
actually use this lens. This is, like usually they are bad, but this is generally making your
15:23
photos worse. So stay aware from the portrait option. It will just completely destroy the photo
15:29
and any kind of decency that it would have. Like if it was going to come out okay, this will make
15:35
the edges look like just absolute trash. So highly suggest you stay away from the portrait
15:41
forget that it doesn't exist and I don't know just glue up the depth sensor because it doesn't really it doesn't really help it only makes it worse
15:50
So that is my opinion right here But the macro lens actually did an okay job in capturing macro which was something that I wasn't actually expecting
16:00
Especially at this price range. So yeah, I just a nice Yes, we have here what I would say two lenses instead of three
16:07
So the 13 is okay and the macro is also okay and
16:11
anything else I would really try to stay away. Now when it comes on to the selfie
16:16
let's just pop out the selfie and well I'm gonna capture myself here
16:24
Okay so this is gonna be a terrible shadow of me right here and I have to say it
16:35
it does okay with the lighting again it's a little bit saturated and it seems
16:39
like it's a little bit smoothed. Apart from that it did okay. There is detail I would say
16:48
and it's okay shot. So that being said we can move away from the cameras and actually get into
16:57
other parts. So next thing would be the specifications of this device and this one comes
17:07
so they snapdrag in 460. I know there's... At the beginning I thought that this is going to be the 5G version
17:13
but this is not it. This one has no 5G. I believe the 5G is called N10
17:19
and the N100 is the non-5G, but still I don't know, haven't really checked it deeply
17:26
Once I get the N10, I'll then actually know. I know already that antenna has 5G
17:32
This one does not. Now, apart from that, we do have a fairly big battery so this is a 5 milli battery with a like I mentioned before 18 watts fast charging so that is really nice comes with 8 oh not 8 4 gigabytes built in
17:51
RAM along with a 64 gigabytes built-in storage plus expendable via SD card up to
17:57
256 gigabytes and that has a ufs 2.1 so not the fastest storage here but
18:06
it's still really nice that they included that on a fairly budget device I would say and then lastly like I said it does have a
18:15
fingerprint sensor on the back and one thing that I didn't actually know couldn't
18:18
find was if it has NFC so I'm gonna check for it right now and we have hotspot
18:24
Zen mode reading do not disturb mode so I don't actually see NFC right here
18:32
which is a little bit of a shame here I'm going to also check it right here, just simply search for it
18:43
Maybe that will yield me some results. And I see, but as you can see right now, just by simple usage, the phone isn't the fastest
18:52
It takes a couple seconds to load sometimes different things, like bring up a keyboard
18:57
It wasn't instant like it should be like I'm used to. So it is not the fastest device, but for the 200 euros that it comes in, this is a really good
19:08
device. Now I would really, really like to see an NFC on here so I can pay with my phone
19:15
And that's primarily all I would really like from it. For this price range, I can't really complain about anything that comes to the device
19:25
The device itself may not be the best built quality and might not have the best specifications, but at the end of the day, it is a budget device and it does its job fairly well
19:34
minus the depth sensor which just destroys photos and then just overall ports on here so we have a headphone jack
19:46
which is really nice to see along with a type c port which at this price range again
19:51
is really nice to see i've seen devices that still come with a micro USB
19:56
which is just to just know so really nice that they did include a type c on here because
20:04
they could have not done that. And next to that, we do have a speakers
20:12
At the top, we've got just a microphone, tiny little hole right there
20:17
if you can get it. And SimTry on the left side, along with volume rackers
20:24
and Power Key on the right side, and that's about it. Nothing more to it here
20:29
So it's a fairly clean looking device. It has this mat back
20:34
you can clearly see single color. There is overall one color I believe to choose from, which is this one
20:44
And other than that, like I said, the device is for the price that it comes in
20:48
It's an amazing device. Not much that can compete with it, especially if you're kind of like me and you really like
20:55
that better refresh rate, which this device offers. Something that Samsung devices, notes, for instance, did not
21:04
which was just hilarious to me and this device that is basically what is it like a fifth of the price
21:10
of it yeah I think it's a fifth has a higher refresh rate
21:15
so I really like that inclusion I primarily look for the phones with a higher refresh rate
21:20
personally I don't really care for the headphone jack already there's so many different headphones on the market
21:26
wireless ones that you can get really really good ones that will just
21:33
make the headphone jack obsolete and also those earbuds for instance will come
21:39
on a really cheap price so as you can see right here I have ones and these are
21:45
soundfeats and they sound just amazing honestly they are dual drivers and literally
21:54
make the headphone jack for me useless and basically everything so yeah I would
21:59
highly recommend too if you're looking for a phone and one of your things is a headphone jack because you want to use your wired headphones
22:07
Try to shift away from that and maybe move to just like wireless ones
22:12
I promise you the only downside of them is just the battery but if you find the decent ones
22:18
they will last for eight hours which is in my opinion more than enough on a single chart
22:22
and then you have the case to charge it up and that will remove the need for you to
22:26
look for a phone that has a headphone jack because as we know there isn't very many of them
22:33
And as a little tip, for instance the ones that I have right here, I believe they cost
22:41
like less than $50. It's something like $30 to $40 I believe
22:49
Something like $40 I think. So the price for a decent earbuds is really affordable, which that's why I would recommend
22:58
you to kind of shift away from wired ones. But that I kind of digress from the topic here
23:02
So finishing up the One Plus right here, like I said it's an amazing device
23:06
The only thing that I would like to see in it was the NFC chip So I could pay with it and other than that for the price that it comes in and what it offers it is a
23:15
It basically meets every expectation And yeah, that's all I really have to say
23:21
