Reviews for the OnePlus Nord CE 6

OnePlus Nord CE 6 review: The safest all-rounder in the segment
Source: Think Digit English
As the headline suggests, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 is the safest recommendation in the sub-Rs 35,000 category right now. And I mean that in the best possible way. Sure, it may not be the most aggressive mid-range gaming phone anymore, and hardcore gamers may still prefer the raw performance edge of the Nord CE 5. But the Nord CE 6 feels like a far more complete smartphone overall. To count its stars, the Nord CE 6’s display is excellent, battery life is outstanding, software support has improved, the design is clean, performance remains consistently good, and OxygenOS still offers one of the smoother Android experiences around. Most importantly, it feels dependable.
