Performance: Snapdragon 695 and RAM
Under the hood, the Nord N30 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset, built on a 6 nm fabrication process. The chip handles everyday multitasking, streaming, and casual gaming comfortably. OnePlus supplements the 8 GB of physical RAM with an additional 8 GB of virtual RAM, expanding total addressable RAM to 16 GB — a feature designed to keep more apps active in the background without slowdowns.
Camera: 108 MP Samsung HM6 Sensor
Photography is a headline feature of the Nord N30 5G. The rear triple-camera setup is led by a 108-megapixel Samsung HM6 sensor, capable of capturing highly detailed shots. It is assisted by a 2-megapixel depth sensor for portrait-mode bokeh effects and a 2-megapixel macro sensor for close-up photography. On the front, a 16-megapixel selfie camera handles video calls and self-portraits. No ultra-wide camera is included in this configuration.
Battery and Charging
The phone houses a 5,000 mAh battery that comfortably supports full-day usage on a single charge. More impressively, OnePlus has bundled 67W SuperVOOC fast charging — an unusually fast charger for a sub-$300 handset — meaning you can top up the battery rapidly without waiting long periods tethered to a wall.
Connectivity and Security
The Nord N30 5G supports dual SIM 5G, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, a USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack — a welcome addition that many flagships have dropped. For biometric security, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor is embedded in the power button, and Face Unlock provides a secondary option.
