OnePlus launched the Nord N10 and Nord N100 phones in October 2020 with the aim of expanding its portfolio towards the mid-range and gaining additional market share. According to a report, this turned out to be a successful move, and the company is on track to sell north of 2 million phones to T-Mobile’s Metro alone.
The expected market share of 15% is not only impressive; it is believed to be the tallest OnePlus ever seen by a single US operator.
Tracking company Wave7 Research says Metro typically sells around 15-16 million devices per year, and looking at the trends, the 2 million figure is a pretty stable forecast, given OnePlus is keeping the momentum going.
However, Metro is increasing those sales by offering the Nord N10 and Nord N100 for free if users decide to switch carriers, which is certainly a better deal than paying the full price – $ 300 or $ 180 respectively.
It should be noted that the third member of the mid-range family, the OnePlus North, is not included in the calculations for the simple reason that the brand does not offer it in the United States. The Snapdragon 765G-powered phone is primarily sold in Europe and India and caters to fans of the near-stock Android experience, which is a rarity in the midranger world.
