The list includes OnePlus 12, 12R, Open, Nord N30 5G. It attracts attention with both its design and functionality and does not harm your pocket.
A selection of the best budget smartphones from the OnePlus brand valid in 2024 has been created by the Tom’s Guide resource.
OnePlus 12
It has the quality and feature set that previous high-end OnePlus phones have lacked by a spot or two on the list, and even though it’s more expensive than the current OnePlus 11, it’s still cheaper than Android smartphones from other brands with similar specs and sizes. .
Features:
- Screen Size: 6.82 inches 2K 120Hz OLED
- Refresh rate: 1-120Hz
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
- RAM/Storage: 12GB/16GB, 256GB/512GB
- Rear/Front Cameras: Main 50MP, Ultra Wide 48MP, 3x Telephoto 64MP/Selfie 32MP
- Battery life (h:min): 17:41
- Charging speed: 80W (US) / 100W (international) wired, 50W wireless
OnePlus 12R
OnePlus R models didn’t arrive in the US and Europe until the 12R, and all we can say is better late than never. In exchange for an older chipset, less high-end display and cameras (which include a macro sensor instead of telephoto), OnePlus is dropping the price by a few hundred dollars and increasing the battery size.
The result is a mid-range phone that feels surprisingly like a full-fledged flagship device, and it comes in second place in our ranking of the best phones for battery life, with first place taken by a premium gaming phone that costs almost twice as much.
Features:
- Screen size: 6.78 inch FHD OLED
- Refresh rate: 120Hz
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
- RAM / Storage: 8 GB, 12 GB / 128 GB, 256 GB
- Rear/Front Cameras: 50MP Main, 8MP Ultra Wide, 2MP Macro/16MP Selfie
- Battery life (h:min): 18:42
- Charging speed: 80W (US) / 100W (international)
OnePlus On
With the help of sister company Oppo, OnePlus’ first foray into the world of foldable devices went smoothly.
OnePlus Open is the foldable phone of today, thanks to its compact folded size and light weight, long battery life and impressive features.
For example, 512 GB of memory by default, two 48 MP cameras and a 64 MP telephoto lens on the back, and the Open Canvas system that makes it easy to open and work with multiple applications.
Features:
- Screen size: internal 7.82 inches, external 6.31 inches (both OLED)
- Refresh rate: 120Hz (internal and external)
- Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
- RAM/Storage: 16GB/512GB
- Rear/Front Cameras: Main 48 MP, Ultra Wide Angle 48 MP, Telephoto 64 MP with 3x zoom, External Selfie Camera 20 MP, Internal Selfie Camera 32 MP
- Battery life (h:min): 11:45
- Charging speed: 67W (wired)
OnePlus North N30 5G
The OnePlus Nord N30 5G (or OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite) is very affordable but still spoils you in some areas. Most importantly, it brings 50W charging and a 120Hz display in a device that costs under $300. Battery life is also great.
Its biggest limitation is the quality of the photos, which can be a deciding factor. Unfortunately, this is the real cost of making a cheap phone, just like the low-power Nord N30 chipset.
Features:
- Screen size: 6.72 inch AMOLED (2400 x 1080)
- Refresh rate: 120Hz
- Chipset: Snapdragon 695RAM/Memory: 8GB/128GB expandable
- Rear / front cameras: 108 MP (f/1.7) main, 2 MP (f/2.4) monochrome, 2 MP (f/2.4) macro / 16 MP (f/2.4)
- Battery life (h:min): 12:30 (120 Hz); 12:42 (60Hz)
- Charging speed: 50W wired
