First of all, it should be known that it's a budget phone. It's not going to run the best, especially now in 2024. However, it can be had for quite cheap if you buy at the right time. I got mine at Best Buy on sale for $140, buying it as a more up to date backup phone, something I always ensure I have on hand in case I need a temporary phone if my main one breaks and needs replacement or repair.
It has quite a few nice features for its low price point, like a good enough camera array, a high refresh rate display, decent resolution, proper glass screen, and a sleek design. The body is plastic as is the norm for such phones, though it is done tastefully and feels solid in the hand for such material. OxygenOS feels like a decent enough skin of Android and is straightforward to use.
It can be noticeably slow at times, especially when using intensive apps or multitasking. Even for a budget phone, you can really feel it sometimes. It hangs up on some app openings and transitions. The 90Hz display definitely looks good when in use, but the hardware inside doesn't really work well and the lack of dynamic refresh rate such as on most OLED displays only exacerbates this. While it looks nice when used, I would recommend setting the refresh rate to 60Hz as it seems to noticeably reduce the stutters and hitches.
Pros:
- Great price for what you get
- Fingerprint sensor is on the rear where your finger can naturally reach it
- 90Hz display that looks great when it can be used
- Looks good for the price point
- Clean hole punch camera hole gives premium phone vibes
- Plastic body is executed tastefully and has a nice shine to it almost like aluminum
- Triple camera setup looks premium and takes acceptable photos
Cons:
- Cameras are passable but not great
- Triple cameras aren't the expected type; no telephoto or ultra wide but instead a macro and depth camera
- 90Hz can be taxing on performance
- Lacks NFC despite having other more intricate features for its price point
- Notably larger "chin" bottom bezel looks strange, but isn't excessive
- Performance is noticeably poor, but is to be somewhat expected for the price point
- Fingerprint sensor isn't the most reliable out there - tip: add the same finger multiple times over time for better reliability

There are also plenty of other options at £180 price range that are far better than this

Please be careful with this phone. I purchased this for my elderly grandma about a year ago and it was working flawlessly up until yesterday. The device reset itself whilst simply laying on a table! I have read many articles about this issue and am not happy as there was many priceless pictures on the phone and now they can't be easily restored. It appears as software for the Nord series is very temperamental, but my unit (the original Nord) has had no issues, whereas my friends phone has also had this issue. I have already got in contact with OnePlus support.
I'm not trying to put anyone off from buying it, but it is wise to maybe choose a different option than this N100

I've had the Nord N100 for almost a year. I think it's a great phone for the price. I like the 90HZ refresh rate on the screen. The performance is pretty good to and I do a lot on my phone. I'd does stutter here and there but that doesn't really bother me. The battery can get me a full day of moderate use if not more. And with the 18 watt charger I can get from 20% to 100% within an hour and a half.
