The video, presented by Wade from Tech Daily, provides a comparative analysis of the OnePlus Nord N30 and N300 smartphones. The N30, a newer and more advanced model priced at $299, surpasses the older N300, priced at $229, in several significant ways. While both phones feature similar design elements, such as plastic bodies and teardrop selfie cameras, the N30 offers a larger and sharper display (6.72 inches with a 120Hz refresh rate) and more internal storage (128GB vs. 64GB) compared to the N300.
In terms of performance, the N30 excels with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset and 8GB of RAM, providing smoother and faster interactions than the N300’s Mediatek Dimensity 810 processor and 4GB of RAM. Additionally, the N30 runs a more updated version of Oxygen OS (13.1). Both phones have similar battery capacities but the N30 supports faster 50-watt charging. Camera performance is another area where the N30 stands out with a 108-megapixel main lens and superior image quality.
Overall, Wade concludes that the N30 offers a better value due to its superior screen, specifications, camera, and charging capabilities, making it a worthwhile investment despite its higher price.

In this part of the video, Wade from Tech Daily compares the OnePlus Nord N30 and N300 smartphones to help viewers choose between them. He explains that while the N300 was released in October 2022 as a successor to the N200, the N30 is a newer model that replaces the N20 and only recently hit the market. Both phones are available through major carriers in the US, making it important to understand their differences for those considering an upgrade or cross-shopping.
The main point is that the N30 is markedly better than the N300 in terms of specifications despite the confusing number scheme. Price-wise, the N30 is more expensive at $299 when purchased unlocked, whereas the N300, priced at $229, is often offered for free with a T-Mobile or Metro plan. The N30 also boasts a slightly larger display (6.72 inches vs. 6.56 inches). Wade suggests that the N30 provides better value due to its higher specs, making it a worthwhile investment for users.

In this segment, the video compares two phones, focusing primarily on their design, build quality, and display characteristics. Both phones feature a teardrop selfie camera, thicker bezels, and a similar form factor with plastic bodies. Key distinctions include the N30’s chromatic gray finish that appears premium but is prone to fingerprints, while both phones share flat sides and similar button and port placements, including volume buttons, power buttons with fingerprint sensors, SIM/SD card trays, and headphone jacks.
The N30 offers more internal storage (128GB) compared to the N300 (64GB), and includes a pre-installed screen protector. Both phones lack water resistance, wireless charging, and have different camera setups: the N30 has three camera lenses while the N300 has two. Display-wise, the N30 boasts a full HD resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a sharper and smoother experience compared to the N300’s lower HD resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The color balance also differs slightly, with the N30 displaying a cooler, bluish tint.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares the displays, speakers, internal specs, and performance of two phones: the N30 and the N300. The N30 is praised for its sharper display and higher refresh rate, which are deemed worth the extra cost. Both phones have dual stereo speakers with no significant differences in sound quality. Internally, the N30 is superior with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, Adreno 619 GPU, and 8GB of RAM, whereas the N300 has a Mediatek Dimensity 810 processor, Mali G57 GPU, and 4GB of RAM.
Despite similar Geekbench scores, side-by-side speed tests show the N30 performing better with quicker load times, more fluid interactions, and fewer jitters. The N30 runs on a more updated version of Oxygen OS (13.1) compared to the N300 (not yet updated). Additionally, the N300 struggles with keeping multiple apps open due to its limited RAM, often requiring apps to reload, highlighting the insufficiency of 4GB of RAM in modern smartphones. Both phones, however, are equipped with good-sized 5000mAh batteries.
