The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is official, offering 'a little more than you'd expect' at a pretty great price, including a 3.5mm jack, 90Hz display, and 65W charging.
is officially here at last, and although it's arguably not as flashy or as powerful as the likes of Google's Pixel 5a, Moto G100, or Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G definitely has enough strong points to at least pop up on many bargain hunters' radars.
There's no way the shiny back is made from real glass, but at first glance, this thing looks decidedly premium, due in no small part to its eye-catching Gray Mirror and Bahama Blue paint jobs, as well as a razor-thin 7.8mm profile. Despite retaining the 6.43-inch panel size as well, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a tad taller overall than the Nord 2, with a rather chunky"chin" negatively impacting the premium vibe of the modern hole punch design.
We're looking at a primary 64MP shooter here accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and 2MP macro sensor on the back of the Nord CE 2, which isprecisely what the Nord CE offers in the rear camera department. The same goes for the single 16MP selfie cam, which is downgraded from a 32MP sensor on the Nord 2.Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is obviously no match for today's flagships... or yesteryear's Dimensity 1200-based Nord 2.
