OnePlus Nord N100

OnePlus Nord N100 specs and price in Kenya

Phone overview

Oppo silently announced its latest OnePlus Nord N100 smartphone. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery, as well as an aggressive price tag for its budget specs and features. It arrives in one dedicated color which is Midnight Frost. There is one price tag for the Nord N100 in Kenya and it is 20,500 for the 64GB version with 4GB RAM.

90Hz refresh rate

The 90Hz refresh rate of the OnePlus Nord N100 is something to talk about, surely it is. As a matter of fact, the Nord N100 is the second Oneplus smartphone (at this price point) to feature a higher than the normal 60Hz rate. Now 90 Hz refresh rate (see also OnePlus Nord N10 5G) is the refresh rate at which the image redraws on the screen. Displays with a 90Hz refresh rate render images 90 times per second. The higher the refresh rate, the lesser is the motion blur, and the better the image quality.

Still focusing on the display, OnePlus Nord N100 comes with a big and bright 6.52 inches IPS LCD display panel. Look, dear reader, I cannot even get over the fact that it is a 90Hz refresh rate. Seriously, Oneplus has entered the A – league here. But moving on, this panel does not disappoint when it comes to the resolution. We see a rather low 720 x 1600 pixels resolution with 269 PPI density. We’re thinking a compromise had to be made. And you will also notice the hole punch wherein the selfie camera lies.

Performance

Okay, the chipset OnePlus Nord N100 comes with is a rather dated Qualcomm SM4250 Snapdragon 460 (11 nm) chip. This is the same chip that integrates the Adreno 610 GPU and features an X11 LTE modem supporting Cat 13 uplink and Cat 12 downlink. I honestly think when it comes to the performance then we would rather appreciate the fact that the OnePlus Nord N100 comes with 4GB RAM which is a bit generous on the lower side though you must agree?
