The verdict, up front

The fast-charging carrier budget pick.

Nord N30 brings OnePlus's 50 W charging to the US prepaid aisle, paired with a 120 Hz screen and the full legacy port set. The Snapdragon 695 and single OS update are the give-back. As a cheap, fast-charging daily it does the job; power users should spend up.
