Stop the presses — the Nord N30 just dropped to its lowest price EVER during Amazon's Black Friday sale
This Black Friday is already making history.
The day itself may be over a week away, but the Black Friday phone deals have officially landed. A bunch of these offers are already breaking records, such as this Amazon deal that drops the OnePlus Nord N30 5G down to $229.99, which is the cheapest that the phone has ever been.
If you're unfamiliar, OnePlus is a bit of an underdog in the smartphone landscape (in North America, at least), but they nevertheless produce some of the most innovative and thoughtfully-designed phones on the market. The mid-range OnePlus Nord N30 boasts an efficient Snapdragon chip, a reliable 5,000mAh with lightning-fast charging, and some useful software features courtesy of Oxygen OS. You even get a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Nord N30 is the best Android phone under $300 by a long shot, and this Black Friday deal makes it cheaper than ever.
