Editorial report

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G technical sheet

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G suits buyers looking for a slim, light 5G phone with an AMOLED display; its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold as a 6 GB / 128 GB version.

Its 6.43″ display has a pixel density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 7.8 mm thick and 173 g, the body is also slimmer and lighter than most. The display refreshes at 90 Hz and includes Always-On Display and HDR10+.

The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones of its time, though the camera overall is typical. The 4,500 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 65 W fast charging is better than most. Performance is typical too: the MediaTek Dimensity 900 is paired with 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Connectivity is better than most, with 5G, NFC and Dual Nano-SIM.

With a NeoScore of 6.2, this is a 5G option for buyers who prioritize a high-density display, a slim body and fast charging, and are comfortable with a lower-capacity battery.
