OnePlus Nord N10 5G
The Nord N10 5G is still very much a budget phone, but it punches higher than the N100. There's 5G, the screen is FullHD+ with a 90Hz refresh rate, and it has a bit more RAM and a more comfortable 128GB of base storage. it'll cost you a lot more than the Nord N100, but you are getting a bit more bang for your buck here.
