Why Buy

  • The next generation of mobile internet at a great price
  • Good specs at a great price
  • 90Hz refresh rate
  • Decent design

Before we get into the higher end phones (and larger prices), we wanted to highlight a good budget phone that’s also seen strong discount in the Prime Day phone deals.The OnePlus Nord N200 may not be the phone on everyone’s lips, but it is a smartphone with a decent triple-lens camera setup, and a moderately powerful processor. Don’t get us wrong, you’re not going to be snapping any art masterpieces or playing the latest 3D games on this, but they’re still good enough for the price. It really pushes the envelope with its 90Hz refresh rate and 5G support, neither of which is common at this price bracket. So while you’re very much paying for a budget phone, you get some higher-end features thrown in as well.
