    Great Value, Great Charging, MicroSd and Headphone Jack
    I have a Samsung s22 Ultra. I've been having battery and connectivity issues, not being able to use roaming data, spotty 5G where I should have it, etc. Went from a regular SIM to an ESIM and nothing got better, so I decided to try an inexpensive backup.Got this phone based on reviews. The biggest negative I could find online about it was regarding haptic feedback, which I always turn off because haptics irritate me... so that's a non-issue. There were also a few comments about the OxygenOS, but I use Nova Launcher on all my devices so this is a non-issue.So far so good. Once I received a physical SIM from my phone company, and got it installed... I immediately had excellent connectivity on my network, around town and when traveling.The pluses are the headphone jack, microSD card slot, battery capacity, and of course the price. The package includes a VERY FAST charger, which is amazing. Also, it was very easy to mirror my Samsung to this phone via USB-C to USB-C... only had to install a few particular apps. It runs all the apps as you would expect, like Spotify having connectivity on all your devices. Bluetooth connected perfectly to my vehicle, my Yamaha guitar amp, and laptop another devices for transferring files etc.As for negatives, the camera was a big downgrade from the Samsung, it's nowhere near the quality. And it's a little slower running some apps. I expected both of these things to be the case.Honestly, phones are like guitars. If you're buying an Apple (don't) or a Samsung or a Gibson or a Fender, you're paying a big chunk of money for the name... when there are very excellent options out there that a fraction of the price.I still have my Samsung for concert videos, games, wifi etc. But after a couple of weeks of using the One Plus N30, I've come to the conclusion that if you're spending over $500 on your phone then you're kind of throwing money away.

    I bought this phone at the recommendation of a friend who is very happy with theirs. I'm someone who isn't picky about my technology... I just want it to be straightforward, reliable and affordable. I'd honestly just get a flip phone if it wasn't so hard to get by in today's day & age without it being the expectation now that everyone has a smart device, on them at all times.

    Well... this phone fits the bill and then some! First of all, the battery life is honestly baffling. I'm not joking, I drove 20 minutes with GMaps GPS running and arrived still at 100%. I was so confused, not a single percentage point? I just wanted something that didn't obnoxiously guzzle battery and got so much more! Not sure how long this level of performance will last with the limited knowledge I have on how to maintain it, but sufficed to say this is really amazing so far.

    As far as everything else goes, I upgrade my phone so infrequently that I really don't know how it compares to what else is out there... even if you showed me "the specs." I'm sure it isn't the absolute best around, but what I can tell you is this: the call clarity is great, both handheld and speaker. Bluetooth connects quickly and stays connected. I can have a lot of apps and Internet tabs open and switch between them and not be waiting for stuff to load (don't worry, I clear them when I'm done). Oh and the camera quality is so clear! Long story short, everything that needs to work works, it works well, and it's pretty easy for a less tech savvy person like myself to figure out.

    The price point is what initially sold me. I paid only $250 for this phone and I feel like it was an excellent value. Most other devices I've seen online average nearly twice that cost, or are a similar/lower price but poor quality. Not sure what you'd get out of the more expensive ones, but I'm more than happy with what I've got here.

    TL;DR: if you "just need a phone that works," get this one! You won't be disappointed.

    This phone is the BEST budget phone for me because I value the extremely long battery life, reallllly fast-charging & exceptional stereo speakers. The CPU is a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 695 which allows me to multi-task at a good speed. The biggest downside on this phone is the camera; it will take good photos in the daytime. But, it does not take good photos of dimly lit situations which is OK with me because I NEVER use a smartphone to take important celebration photos which should always be taken with a Canon or Nikon camera.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
    I'm conflicted even writing this but here goes.... This thing is impressive for the price paid.

    I am a HUGE Samsung fan. I HATE Apple. I always spend the most money for the newest phone with as much memory as offered. My thought being it will last until the next time I need a phone. It will remain relevant, the tech won't be obsolete, and presumably I'm buying a quality product.

    That mentality has served me well... Until it didn't. My S22 Ultra is having connectivity problems. We'll it really isn't that old and I owe $700+ on it still. So I was in a tough spot, fixing it means a bill probably North of $300(maybe more) and then I would still owe the money on top of it. I didn't thi k either option was right. Paying it off seemed too expensive. Fixing it seemed silly, and ultimately too expensive.

    So in the short term I went and found the cheapest phone I could stomach. A Motorola something or other for $150. It had 4G of RAM which caused Microsoft Teams to not even start on my phone. It just instantly crashed. So for awhile I just used that as my Hotspot for my Samsung (which had its drawbacks for sure).

    That isn't working. Alright I can still return this Motorola. What else for a little more money might be better? A refurb? Nope... Still $300+ in anything I would accept. I read. I researched. I finally come to the One Plus. Lots of nice things are said about the phone and fresh of my recent "cheap phone" experience, let's just say I was dubious.

    It goes on sale for $230. Alright for $230 I'll bite.

    I got to tell you... For a $230 it's hard to gripe. Is it perfect? NOPE. is it a flagship Samsung phone. NOPE. For $230,I give it some grace. RAM 8G which is so so, it supports virtual RAM up to 16G. Not as good as real RAM but MORE than serviceable. 128G of memory alright that's not great but guess what... It supports an SD card. Boom. Doesn't matter. The OS is largely free of anything I hate. It's functional. Some quirks here and there... But I adjusted pretty darn quick. The quick charge battery may be worth it alone. This thing just amazes me how quickly it charges. Is it good for the batteries longevity? I doubt it. However at $230, I don't really care. I am a POWER USER, a 5,000ma battery is good. Still not good enough for me. I figure I'd need a 10,000ma battery maybe a little more to meet my demands. The fast charge though, it gets lower than I like, blast it with the supercharger, 20 minutes later and I'm back in the game. The finger print scanner, I didn't think that it would be natural or useful where it is on the side. Not true. Dang thing works flawlessly always.

    True downsides. The camera... It surely isn't a Samsung. Now, I'll give it props, in full light and still photos it's adequate. Not great, but it does the job. In the dark though... Oi oi oi.... Hot garbage. The screen gets bright, it really does, but it needs to be brighter, by... Shoot I don't know: 25-35%. It's manageable though. I honestly think those are my only gripes.

    Its responsive and plenty fast at running the things I need it to do. I'm kind of shaken up about it because I'm not sure at this point I'll maintain my same theory about phone ownership. At $230 for.... 70% of the goodness let's say, I have a hard time thinking that $1400 for a new phone makes a lot of sense. Bravo One Plus. This is impressive.
