Although the OnePlus mostly manufactures its phones now available in all other markets which include the US market, as of the moment, Nord tells a different story. The very first OnePlus Nord, which was actually a rather decent mid-ranger, was not technically sold in the United States but instead, they had another entry level OnePlus Nord N10 and the Nord N100 in the market.
OnePlus Nord N10 and N100
According to an article by SlashGear, OnePlus has already given an announcement about a US launch for these particular two but for those that directly pre-order coming from the manufacturer, they will be able to receive a really cool free accessory. In order to be fair, the new OnePlus Nord N10 5G is not actually all that bad, it only requires a step back including a slightly lower Snapdragon 690 along with a bigger 6.49 inch screen. This results in lower pixel display for the phones.
The phones do have 5G support and will even have a microSD card slot that the regular OnePlus Nord does not have. The new OnePlus Nord N100, on the other hand, is known to be a budget Android phone through and through. Its own Snapdragon 490 alone rules out any of the existing 5G support, of course, and even a larger 6.52 inch HD+ display. This also comes out with a lower pixel density compared to its siblings. Of course, customers would not really be looking at this particular phone exactly for its own features but rather for the phone's price tag.
Budget Phones $300 and Below
The new OnePlus Nord N10 5G as well as the OnePlus Nord N100 will both be available this coming Jan 15 both directly coming from OnePlus and even T-Mobile. However, if customers would decide to place the order on the OnePlus' official site, buyers will be able to grab their very own free OnePlus Buds Z white for the affordable $300 OnePlus Nord N10 5G as well as the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z Black for the other more affordable $180 OnePlus Nord N100. Unfortunately, customers won't be able to choose the color of their own freebies.
While OnePlus' very own Nord Phones are now definitely attractive in both price and specs, one certain factor might leave even more serious Android smartphone users left on the fence. OnePlus has also officially revealed that the two different Nord phones will be getting one major Android upgrade. This is in contrast to the three that was promised for its very own mainline OnePlus phones. The company has not backed down as of the moment despite the given backlash.

Free gift card for B&H purchase
According to the article by GSMArena, for those that purchase these phones directly from B&H, they will be receiving a $50 gift card for the $300 N10 phone and a $30 for gift card for the $180 N100 phone. Quite incidentally, the value of these gift cards is also the same value as the free set of earbuds that customers would get should they buy directly from OnePlus.
