OnePlus Nord CE 5G review

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is the new mid-range killer or that's at least how OnePlus markets the handset. And it's probably not too far off from the truth....

Compact and lightweight design.

No ingress protection rating.

It sure has a few omissions like the microSD card support or the HDR10 video support, but they can be easily forgiven when assessing the Nord CE as a complete package. The Nord CE 5G is a great addition to the OnePlus roster, and it gets an easy...

OnePlus Nord CE 5G review: stripped down, stripped back

A ‘Core Edition' device that focuses on the essentials.

90Hz OLED display ; Decent battery life ; Headphone jack

No official waterproofing ; Useless monochrome camera ; Occasional hitches in performance

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a less expensive version of last year’s OnePlus Nord with a focus on its core features. It’s still got a 90Hz OLED screen, but it ditches extras like an ultrawide selfie camera and a fourth rear camera.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G stands for "Core Edition" and it aims to provide the core elements of a great experience at a budget price. Does it succeed with that? We take a deeper look...

Impressively zippy ; Great size that is not too big, nor too small ; Great value for the money ; Beautiful OLED screen

Photos come out with muted, sometimes dull colors ; Video recording quality is not quite great ; Terrible vibration motor ; No mute switch

OnePlus Nord CE review: A little less Nord for a little less money

The Nord CE is yet another affordable mid-ranger from OnePlus, but it fails to leave a mark. Find out more in this OnePlus Nord CE review.

Adequate performance

The OnePlus Nord CE is a perplexing device to say the least. It’s definitely not best-in-class, but worse still, it sits within spitting distance of the original OnePlus Nord to its detriment. The performance difference isn’t really significant, but...

Review: OnePlus Nord CE 5G | A Perfect Match OnePlus Nord CE 5G

With the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, the Chinese mobile manufacturer has found something close to the perfect balance between price and quality.

Lightweight and robust mobile at a really good price. Excellent screen with 90 Hz refresh rate, good camera, decent performance and a large battery that holds power for a long time and can be charged from 0 to 70 percent in half an hour.

Missing dedicated OnePlus button for setting silence, vibration and ringtone. In addition, do not have stereo sound and wireless charging. And then we could have wished that OnePlus had retained the dual front camera. Generally a slightly anonymous...

Objectively, the OnePlus Nord CE is not better in all respects than last year’s OnePlus Nord. But it is almost 1,000 kroner cheaper, and yet it is at least as good or even better on a number of points that are important to most consumers. That is why...

OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review - Changing Times, Changing Tides!

The new Nord Consumer Edition is the most affordable OnePlus phone in India right now. Our OnePlus Nord CE 5G review is here:

Bad Camera Performance ; Single Band 5G Support ; Warp Charge 30T is Problematic

The Nord CE 5G is yet another clear indicator that OnePlus’ DNA is transforming at a rapid pace. You can either make peace with it, or live in denial. As for the Nord CE, this phone’s existence is questionable when you have the perfectly good Nord with...

OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review – the big value, big battery, but slim 5G phone

Low-cost and high-spec, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G packs 64MP resolution imaging and 5G on a budget

Feature-packed for price ; Excellent screen ; Large storage capacity options

Middling low-light camera performance ; Ultra-wide camera produces soft edges ; Occasional slowdown editing photos

Once you wrap your head around the fact the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is significantly cheaper than the original Nord, it becomes easy to argue away the lack of optical image stabilization, plastic body and lack of polish. What you do get in the Nord CE 5G is...

Practical design and superb one-hand usability ; OxygenOS is a treat ; Amazing performance ; Value for money

No signature alert slider ; Lacks premium-ness
