OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G review: Entry phone may be too good

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a great gateway into the world of OnePlus phones, but the question is, will you ever want to upgrade when it's this comprehensive?

Great, eye-catching design Battery charges in 30 minutes Two days use from the battery Headphone jack on board Dual 5G SIM and microSD card slot

Android 11 isn't the latest version No IP rating Poor single speaker

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G review: A capable mid-range 5G phone with excellent battery life | ZDNet

The Nord CE 2 is a decent smartphone with an attractive price tag, but there's plenty of competition in the mid-range sector -- not least from last year's now-discounted OnePlus Nord 2.

Excellent battery life ; 65W fast charging ; 90Hz AMOLED screen ; Two SIM slots plus MicroSD expansion

No Alert Slider ; Unremarkable cameras ; Disappointing speaker

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Review - Middle of the range

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is an adequate smartphone that gives you a lot for your money. However, don't expect to get more than you pay for.

Light and sturdy mobile at a really good price. Decent performance and a big battery that lasts a long time and can be charged from 0 to 100 percent in just over half an hour. Supports storage expansion using external memory card.

Boring middle-of-the-road design without dedicated OnePlus button for setting mute, vibration and ringtone. Must also do without stereo sound and offers in general flat and bland sound. Lacks wireless charging.

If you need a new smartphone under €350, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is still an excellent choice. 65 watts of fast charging, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are good things for the price, and on most other points the phone lives up to what you can expect. The screen is...

OnePlus Nord CE 2 review

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 deftly walks the line between premium flagship and budget-friendly smartphones with impressive results.

Impressive AMOLED display ; Incredibly fast charging ; OxygenOS 11 is quick and intuitive ; Smarter cameras than predecessor

Not available in the US anytime soon ; Not IP rated ; Plasticky feel

With its smooth and responsive OS, outstanding battery life, superfast charging, and better than average cameras, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a full-featured smartphone at a very affordable price.
