OnePlus Nord N10 5G and OnePlus Nord N100 phones were introduced in Europe rather discreetly. This is unusual because the company normally indulges in heavy-duty teasing before launching new phones.

Both new phones are initially going to be sold in Europe, though OnePlus has confirmed availability in North America at a later stage.

We pit the newly launched OnePlus Nord N10 5G and OnePlus Nord N100 with OnePlus Nord to highlight the differences between the three affordable phones from the company.
