OnePlus launched its Nord smartphone last July, as the most affordable offering in the OnePlus lineup. It came at a time when people were wary of spending too much, and it was among the first few smartphones to offer 5G for under Rs. 30,000. OnePlus has now launched the new OnePlus Nord CE 5G, which takes the price further down while still offering 5G connectivity as well as three rear cameras.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G Summary

The Nord CE 5G from OnePlus caters to the lower end of the smartphone market. OnePlus claims that the CE in the name stands for Core Edition since the device is capable of delivering a core smartphone experience. The OnePlus Nord covers all the basics in terms of specifications and also has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a holepunch for the selfie camera. It also has a 90Hz refresh rate. The display has good viewing angles and an in-display fingerprint scanner that's quick to unlock. The smartphone is thin and weighs 170gms which makes it comfortable for single-handed use.

OnePlus has picked the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor and has 6GB, 8GB and 12GB RAM options. It is available in two storage variants but storage is non-expandable since it does not have a microSD card slot.

The Nord CE 5G gets a triple camera setup consisting of a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2-megapixel mono camera. For selfies, it has a 16-megapixel. Daylight photos from the Nord CE were good but lowlight camera performance needed improvements.

OnePlus has packed in a 4,500mAh battery in the Nord CE which is capable of delivering over a day worth of battery life. It also supports 30W fast charging and comes with a Warp Charge 30T charger in the box.

Awesome Mid Range Phone from OnePlus

Rohan Ganguly (Jun 19, 2021) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

The processor is very fast. The UI animations are fast and don't lag at all. The display is very fluid and beautiful. The gaming performance is very good, you can play in max settings without any lag. The rear and the front camera both are very good. The pictures and videos are of high quality. I will surely recommend you to buy this phone because at this price no mobile company can provide so many features and high quality.

For screen Guard

Geeta Patel (May 13, 2023) on Gadgets 360

I buy Oneplus very 3 light 5g cell phone but when I got that screen Guard is not available on that screen. That's why cell phones screen had scratches was done so I am not satisfied with your cell phone packing. Please do it's properly.
