OnePlus Nord N20 5G Camera Samples
Featured in this article
OnePlus Nord N20 5G, main camera. Compare this photo with the following image. The OnePlus does a decent job with the colors and offers up solid detail. You don't see what you truly miss until you see what Google's Pixel 5A ($450) captures, though.
Google Pixel 5A, main camera. Look closely at the Pixel 5A image and the sheer amount of detail it picks up that isn't visible on the Nord N20 5G is staggering. The bath rug alone shows a texture that's not even visible on the N20. Yes, I'm comparing a $450 phone to a $282 one. This will hopefully give you a baseline of what you can expect with the Nord's camera system.
OnePlus Nord N20 5G, main camera. On bright sunny days, you won't have much to complain about. I like the details here and the colors.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05Google Pixel 5A, main camera. The Pixel matches the level of detail here, however, the sandwich looks a whole lot more colorful and has more contrast. It looks more natural. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06OnePlus Nord N20 5G, Night mode. This was the third photo I took that finally wasn't blurry. Night mode requires you to stay very still, so if you can manage that, you can get some decent low-light images. It's not the most detailed image in the world, but it's solid for the money.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10OnePlus Nord N20 5G, monochrome mode. There's a monochrome sensor on the N20 5G, which means you can capture true black and white images. It's hard not to like it, though I wish it worked with the phone's Night mode.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12OnePlus Nord N20 5G, Night mode. Compare this photo with the following one. In even darker situations, you likely won't get anything useful. It's just a bit dim all around.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13Google Pixel 5A, Night Sight. The difference between this photo and the last is incredible. The Pixel photo is so much sharper, more colorful, and brighter, though it does tend to go overboard with the white balance. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14OnePlus Nord N20 5G, macro camera. The macro camera lets you go super close to subjects for hyper-detailed images. I don't find many uses for macro cameras in my day to day and the quality is just so-so, as you can see from this somewhat lackluster-looking dandelion captured on a bright afternoon.
