OnePlus' two new low-cost smartphones are now up for grabs in Europe. The OnePlus Nord N10 5G comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 SoC, a quad-camera array, a 4,300mAh battery, and will cost €329. At €179, the OnePlus Nord N100 gets you a Snapdragon 460n, three rear cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery.

However, its rear camera array is a tad better than the OnePlus Nord, as it employs a 64MP wide-angle lens as its primary sensor (the Nord has a 48MP lens).

I would have expected NBC of all places to know better. Higher MP does not automatically mean better. The Nord's camera may very well be better, but not just because of that.

Also, I'm disappointed that this article didn't mention the SD slot. I've been wondering for weeks if they were going to include one, and was concerned when I saw there would only be a 128GB model and dismayed when this article made it appear that was it, meaning this phone wouldn't be an option for me. I had to check elsewhere, but now that I see that OnePlus finally decided to include it, this phone looks like a almost great option. I wish it were a little smaller and lighter, but the biggest holdup I have, which unfortunately will likely keep me from buying it, is the rear-mounted fingerprint reader. If they couldn't do an in-display one for cost reasons, i would have at least preferred a side-mounted one. Rear-mounted means it's useless when the phone is lying down or in the car mount.
