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. However, OnePlus Nord N10 5G and OnePlus Nord N100 were launched without much fanfare. Both the phones feature hole-punch displays and come with stereo speaker support. Both new phones are initially going to be sold in Europe, though OnePlus has confirmed availability in North America at a later stage.
