Editorial report

OnePlus Nord CE 5G technical sheet

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G suits buyers looking for a slim, light 5G phone with an AMOLED display; its main camera trade-off is the lack of optical image stabilization on the rear camera. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage. The phone is also sold in 6 GB / 128 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB configurations.

Its 6.43-inch display has a density of 410 ppi, among the highest of its time, while the 90 Hz refresh rate is typical of phones launched around the same time. At 170 g and 7.9 mm thick, it is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. Connectivity is better than on most: the phone supports 5G, NFC, dual SIM and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G and 8 GB of RAM put performance in the typical range. Its 64 MP rear camera has higher resolution than most phones of its time, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera adds a wider framing option; the camera system overall is typical for its time.

A 4500 mAh battery and 30 W charging are typical figures. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a NeoScore of 5.7. It is a suitable option for buyers who prioritize a high-density display, a slim and light design, and 5G connectivity.
