OnePlus Nord
The OnePlus One was considered a 5.5-inch bolt that came out of the blue from China to join the exclusive list of smartphones that offer more at an affordable price. Well, the latest OnePlus Nord can be seen as the return of the combination of style, features and affordability that made the brand stand out with its earliest device in 2014. This smartphone offers an almost flagship-like experience, blending premium design, slick performance and great cameras for a heavy mix of smartphone satisfaction. As far as the design is concerned, the OnePlus Nord’s design belies its affordable price. The phone gets the same premium build and finish as the flagship OnePlus 8 series along with a metal frame sandwiched between Gorilla Glass on the front and back. The smooth glass finish simply means there is little in the way of natural grip, which indicates that the Nord could be slippery at times. However, the slimline silicon case that comes with the phone might just save the day.
As for the power key, it is situated on the right side of the device, just below OnePlus’s alert slider that allows the users to quickly switch between silent, vibrate and loud modes. Apart from that, the volume rocker is placed on the opposite side, while there is a centralized USB Type-C port at the bottom of the phone. However, it should be noted that there is no headphone jack on the OnePlus Nord. This is definitely a drawback for those ardent users of wired headphones. In terms of its variants, the Nord comes in two colours, namely Gray Onyx and Blue Marble.
As far as the display is concerned, the OnePlus Nord has a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. The display is in Full HD+ with a 90Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling performance. The screen fills the front of the smartphone with minimal bezels. The only interruption in the screen is the punch-hole cut-out in the top left corner of the phone which houses the dual selfie cameras. The display is bright and clear. In terms of its camera, the OnePlus Nord carries a flagship camera setup. It comprises a total of six cameras, with four in the rear and two in the front. It is worth noting that this is indeed the highest number of cameras that OnePlus has ever put on a smartphone.
The main camera is a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor with EIS and OIS. It is accompanied by three other cameras: a 5MP depth sensor, a 2MP macro camera and an 8MP 119-degree ultra-wide-angle snapper for those sprawling landscape shots. The main camera is a capable shooter that performs well both indoors and outdoors with good light settings. As for the battery, the OnePlus Nord carries a 4,115mAh battery with fast charging but without wireless support. Overall, the OnePlus Nord is a great option to explore, but the choice of owning one depends on the need and preference of the individual user.

Don't let our five-star rating trick you into thinking that this is a flawless phone – you can find handsets with better cameras and faster processors and waterproofing – but for the money you spend this is a really impressive combination of hardware and software. The mid-range continues to be the most compelling part of the smartphone market, and that has to be good news for anyone wanting to buy a phone that won't break the bank.

For all its positives, the OnePlus Nord isn’t necessarily a compelling purchase. One year on, the OnePlus Nord is still sold at nearly full price both in India and Europe. Meanwhile, alternatives like the Redmi Note 10 Pro/Pro Max or the Google Pixel 4a offer a lot more bang for the buck with their well-rounded packages or imaging prowess. Moreover, with the OnePlus Nord 2 on the horizon — and the promise of improved imaging and a much faster Dimensity 1200 processor — it makes little sense to pick up the original Nord at full price. It’s still a solid option in the mid-range segment if you can land a good deal on it, but there are better alternatives out there.

With 5G, a solid lineup of specs and a beautiful, vibrant design, the OnePlus Nord, released in 2020 in the UK, offers a hell of a lot for a reasonable price. You can currently find it for £329 or about $428 on Amazon, which is significantly cheaper than its $1,069 flagship sibling, the OnePlus 9 Pro. This phone packs a potent octacore processor, a vibrant 6.44-inch display, an in-display fingerprint scanner and 5G connectivity for ultrafast data speeds. All of that's wrapped up in a great-looking blue body that feels anything but cheap. Add to that three rear cameras that take decent shots and two selfie cameras, and the Nord is as well-stacked as any of today's elite handsets.

The OnePlus Nord aims to provide some high-quality features in a more affordable smartphone. The overall score and performance in our analysis shows that it has for the most part met that target. By borrowing the high-quality main camera from the OnePlus 8 Pro, it sets expectations high. It performs well in general — exposure and autofocus are accurate in most conditions, and details are well preserved. But it’s in the specialty areas that the device’s flaws become more evident. In low-light conditions, the OnePlus Nord’s performance dropped in both camera and video; its lack of a true telephoto (or even 50 mm equivalent) had an effect on its performance, and its ultra-wide angle camera also left something to be desired. In video, the OnePlus Nord lost a lot of points for inefficient autofocus and tracking, though it performed well under general conditions.

And that’s really the rub. OnePlus doesn’t want to eat into the sales of the 8, 8 Pro, or 8T so the Nord is missing a few features we’d really appreciate here. In a vacuum, we can say we want these features, but we’ll probably never see them because OnePlus sells devices in the real world, not a vacuum.

However, if you can get a Poco F2 Pro for around RM1,800 or a Mi 10 for less than RM2,000, then I’d go for those instead because then I think they’d be better value than the OnePlus Nord. Personally, I think I’d still go for the OnePlus because I just prefer the software so much more than MIUI, but that’s more of a personal preference thing.

Given the sky-rocketing prices of some smartphones, users are becoming increasingly conscious of the amount they are willing to spend on their devices. The OnePlus Nord strikes a balance in terms of looks, capabilities, technology, and pricing. Available in 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, or 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, the devices will cost INR 27,999, 399 euros, or 379 GBP – for the former and INR 29,999, 499 euros, or 469 GBP.

The OnePlus Nord sells in India for Rs 24,999 for the 6 GB RAM/64 GB storage variant (coming soon), Rs 27,999 for its 8 GB RAM variant with 128 GB storage, which for me is the most practical of the trio. You also have a 12 GB RAM variant with 256 GB internal storage for Rs 29,999 ― the one that we reviewed here. While 12 GB is overkill on a phone with the Snapdragon 765 SoC, a premium of just 2K for the additional 128 GB storage along with 4 GB extra RAM is not a bad deal at all.

The long awaited OnePlus Nord has finally launched in Malaysia yesterday after a month of teasers. As for the price point, OnePlus has made the right choice this time to park the Nord into the midrange category this time with the price starting from RM1799 and a bundle package of RM2399 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB ROM with the OnePlus Buds. But is this smartphone worth buying in?

It’s hard to argue with the OnePlus Nord’s value proposition and this once again begs the questions of why you’d pay more for a phone anymore. This could easily be a five-star device if it had a true standout feature, but it’s still easy to recommend as one of the best cheap phones around.

The OnePlus Nord is a solid 5G-enabled mid-range offer. One combining a well-balanced specs sheet, with the excellent, class-leading experience of Oxygen OS. Thanks to thoughtful engineering and a large infusion of familiar OnePlus DNA, the Nord manages to transcend the simple label of just another BBK Electronics rebranded device. BBK owns and ensures healthy technology sharing among its subsidiaries Oppo, vivo, Realme and OnePlus but after all is said and done, each company runs its own phone business in a different way.

BBK owns and ensures healthy technology sharing among its subsidiaries Oppo, vivo, Realme and OnePlus but after all is said and done, each company runs its own phone business in a different way.

Priced at Rs 29,999 (top-end variant), the OnePlus Nord makes a solid case for itself in the midrange segment. It might not be perfect, but it is a good smartphone in its own right, with a bit of something for everyone. Consider this smartphone for the OnePlus experience, ease of use, stellar display, and consistent performance. However, do compare it with the Realme X2 Pro (review), Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro (review) and OnePlus 7T (review) before taking your final purchase decision.

With 5G, a solid lineup of specs and a beautiful, vibrant design, the OnePlus Nord offers a hell of a lot for a reasonable price. At under 500 euros (about $570, £450 or AU$820), it's significantly cheaper than its $999 flagship sibling, the OnePlus 8 Pro. This phone packs a potent octacore processor, a vibrant 6.44-inch display, an in-display fingerprint scanner and 5G connectivity for ultrafast data speeds. All of that's wrapped up in a great-looking blue body that feels anything but cheap. Add to that three rear cameras that take decent shots and two selfie cameras, and the Nord is as well-stacked as any of today's elite handsets.

The OnePlus Nord is a very, very good smartphone for the price that it commands -- starting at Rs 24,999 in India or €399 in the EU. If camera performance is not the utmost priority for you, you really cannot go wrong with the Nord. In a world of $1,000+ flagships with massive displays, the Nord feels refreshing to use. It has the perfect size, a great ergonomic design, great battery life, excellent performance, and a decent pair of cameras -- everything that you are going to need from a smartphone on a regular basis. And you get all this without having to burn a hole in your pocket.

The OnePlus Nord is the best mid-range phone in the world right now. It looks and feels like a phone twice its price, with a display and main camera lens to match. The 765G processor more than holds its own, and all of the camera lenses are solid except the forgettable macro shooter. More importantly, you won’t find better at this price, or a better selection of the priority features for most users on a budget, with luxuries like wireless charging or an OTT 120Hz refresh rate ditched in favour of a focus on the fundamentals. The Nord would be a good buy at £100 more - at this price, it’s a steal.

To the first question, the answer is a big yes, and for the second one, I think it’s not quite there. But let’s be realistic, no one should expect a $400 phone to beat devices twice or three times more expensive. Bottomline is that the OnePlus Nord is excellent. It’s what a Nexus phone would look like, if Nexus phones existed in 2020. The experience is smooth as butter, the screen is gorgeous, fast charging is impressively quick, every detail on this phone feels refined.

OnePlus Nord is a good choice in the Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 segment. If you are an average user then it may be a good idea to go for the low-end variant with 6GB of RAM to get the best bang for the buck. If you ever wanted to buy the OnePlus 8 but the price deterred you, then the Nord is the right opportunity to get a OnePlus flagship experience for a lesser price. The Nord is a fine overall package but do not expect it to be a replacement for a true flagship device which runs the latest Snapdragon 800 series processor. Having said that good battery life and the promise of timely software upgrade makes the Nord a compelling choice under Rs 30,000.

OnePlus’ return to mid-range smartphones presents some strong competition to both older flagships and the current crop of budget devices. It has a big 6.4-inch screen that can run at 90Hz for a smoother software experience. OnePlus has also packed in enough camera tech to ensure the Nord takes decent photos, with all the flexibility of a four-sensor setup. With 5G and a just-about-good-enough processor, the price is right, even if this phone is unlikely to make it to the US.

The OnePlus Nord is an excellent phone on its own, but when you consider the sub-$500 price, it becomes a fantastic option -- assuming it's available in your area or you don't mind importing it. Sure, you can get a Poco F2 Pro with a Snapdragon 865 for about $550, but it lacks a 90Hz display, OIS on the main camera, and that snappy OxygenOS experience. It’s OnePlus’ balanced approach that makes the Nord such an exceptional handset. Ultimately, it’s just greater than the sum of its parts.

The Nord is a really solid midrange phone, but it’s not perfect. It’s well-specced, with a wide array of cameras and a big high refresh rate display. But in reality, it doesn’t get the most out of all this hardware. Its processor can’t get the most out of its screen all of the time, and camera performance only ends up being okay rather than excellent. None of these are dealbreakers at this price, though, and I wouldn’t say the Nord outright underperforms in any one area.

You don't hear much about the risks that come with success. One of them is that the more successful you get, the harder it becomes to impress people. To hear OnePlus tell it, that’s part of the reason it named its newest smartphone (the OnePlus Nord) after the concept of “true north” – because over the past seven years, the company has gradually strayed from its original mission of selling great smartphones at an accessible price … and now it wants to “return to its roots.”

OnePlus’ return to mid-range smartphones presents some strong competition to both older flagships and the current crop of budget devices. It has a big 6.4-inch screen that can run at 90Hz for a smoother software experience. OnePlus has also packed in enough camera tech to ensure the Nord takes decent photos, with all the flexibility of a four-sensor setup. With 5G and a just-about-good-enough processor, the price is right, even if this phone is unlikely to make it to the US.

The OnePlus Nord is an excellent phone on its own, but when you consider the sub-$500 price, it becomes a fantastic option -- assuming it's available in your area or you don't mind importing it. Sure, you can get a Poco F2 Pro with a Snapdragon 865 for about $550, but it lacks a 90Hz display, OIS on the main camera, and that snappy OxygenOS experience. It’s OnePlus’ balanced approach that makes the Nord such an exceptional handset. Ultimately, it’s just greater than the sum of its parts.

With the OnePlus Nord, OnePlus returns to a price segment it once dominated. But this time with a totally different approach. The Nord is not a spec monster. Or a design wonder. And yet it is special. Read on to find out why.

The Nord is a really solid midrange phone, but it’s not perfect. It’s well-specced, with a wide array of cameras and a big high refresh rate display. But in reality, it doesn’t get the most out of all this hardware. Its processor can’t get the most out of its screen all of the time, and camera performance only ends up being okay rather than excellent. None of these are dealbreakers at this price, though, and I wouldn’t say the Nord outright underperforms in any one area.

You don't hear much about the risks that come with success. One of them is that the more successful you get, the harder it becomes to impress people. To hear OnePlus tell it, that’s part of the reason it named its newest smartphone (the OnePlus Nord) after the concept of “true north” – because over the past seven years, the company has gradually strayed from its original mission of selling great smartphones at an accessible price … and now it wants to “return to its roots.”

As I mentioned before, the OnePlus Nord is only available in Europe and India starting on August 4 through the OnePlus site. But the company has opened up a limited beta program for North America, with 50 slots available for people to sign up for a chance to receive the phone.

That's it for our brief first look at the new OnePlus Nord. We'll be testing this phone thoroughly over the next couple of days, to bring you a detailed report of its gaming performance, cameras, and battery life in the review.

Lack of time and embargoes prevent us from going too in-depth on this occasion but our first impressions of the OnePlus Nord are positive. It looks like a OnePlus phone, it swims like a OnePlus phone, and it quacks like a OnePlus phone.

OnePlus has taken its first step back into the mid-range market confidently, and we hope that its promise of not compromising on its key brand values holds up as we test the Nord more thoroughly. The Nord looks like it will take care of anything you can throw at it, all while costing a surprisingly low amount of money.

It may not be the most exciting phone - on paper - but OnePlus obviously needed to make some compromises to get this phone down to its price point, and we think there’s a serious amount of good in this phone for the outlay.

On paper the OnePlus Nord has a strong feature set, and our initial impressions are generally positive, but the real test will come when we perform our deep dives into performance, the cameras, and battery life to find out whether this is a mid-range marvel or a misstep.

At this stage, it’s so far so good. We’ve only had a limited period to really sink our teeth into the OnePlus Nord, but our first impressions suggest that everything feels in place at this early stage. We’ll have to really put the Nord through its paces in the coming weeks to give a proper “verdict.”

Just witnessed the much-hyped AR launch by Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox therapy and Carl Lau – CEO of OnePlus and well the product is good but the hype around the launch was a little stretched. The AR presentation though went off smooth, but it was not rocket science or Elon Musk personally ejecting himself to the moon in his capsule. In a nutshell, it was a great work of video editors who have been working on developing games. Now let’s get to the real deal which is the price and it’s quite reasonably priced for the specs it comes packed with.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G competes in the smartphone mid-range and makes a bold promise: The 6.43-incher is supposed to offer exactly the features that users really need and make as few compromises as possible. At the same time, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G starts at 300 Euros (~$354). Our review clarifies how all that fits together.

And that will be the theme of my verdict on the OnePlus Nord CE. For the money, it’s perfectly good. Performance is solid, the display is excellent, build and design are on point and the camera delivers crisp, well-exposed photos in most circumstances. Combine that with the superb battery life and you have a phone that ticks all the right boxes. The OnePlus Nord CE may not have the star quality of its premium sibling, the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it might not be a huge upgrade on its predecessor, but it’s a mighty fine handset in its own right.

I feel the bigger question is – should there be a Nord CE 2? If it's going to be more like the CE, then probably not. OnePlus so far has operated at a different level as compared to the competition and that is what has made it special. It cannot expect to play Xiaomi or Realme’s game and win just like that. If it intends to, they need to be better equipped. Most aspects of the Nord CE are fine, barring the drop in processing power and camera, and those are the areas the company needs to focus on in the Nord CE 2. It does make sense to have a OnePlus phone in the Rs 20,000 to 25,000 range if the Nord (non-CE) is positioned around Rs 30,000. However, it needs to feel like a OnePlus phone, and not something generic with a OnePlus logo and OxygenOS. Maybe the company can use the main camera from a generation old OnePlus phone, like it did with the first Nord (it had the OnePlus 8 main camera). Couple it with a better midrange SoC and we may have something worthwhile. If not, just have one Nord to rule the segment each year and let the previous Nord operate in a lower segment with a price drop.

Released in June 2021, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G lands in our Advanced ($200-$399) smartphone segment. Among other attractive features, it sports a multi-camera setup with a 64 MP main camera. Let’s take a look at how it performed in our comprehensive array of battery tests. While it does not have the best autonomy or the best charging performance in our database, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G strikes a good balance between autonomy and charging, and outshines nearly all others in terms of efficiency.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is an affordable entry-point to the OnePlus Nord line, situated just below the original Nord in price and features. This Advanced segment phone sports a 6.43-inch 90-Hz 2400 x 1080 pixel AMOLED display, and is powered by Qualcomm’s 750G 5G chipset with 6, 8, or 12 GB of system memory and 128 or 256 GB of storage. There are three cameras on the back: a 64 MP main wide module that bins down to 16 MP output, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2 MP monochrome module.

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 we give Nord CE the same grade as last year’s model, but also our special recommendation on top of the hat. For the price, you can actually not go wrong in the city with OnePlus Nord CE 5G. And then there is the fact that the mobile – like last year’s predecessor – does not have quite the same unique touch and design language that we otherwise know from OnePlus’ mobiles.

While we are yet to test the device completely and understand how it performs in real life, I still believe the pricing of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G could be more aggressive and OnePlus could have brought it down to under Rs.20,000 segment. At least the base variant. Otherwise, I am a fan of how fast the OnePlus phones charge and the overall battery life they promise.

To conclude this review, I have enjoyed my time with the OnePlus Nord CE, and that’s mostly thanks to its well-optimized OxygenOS. Still, for the price, I am not 100% convinced that it’s the best value-for-money mid-range phone right now—although it’s a decent option in the Nepali market. To compare, Samsung’s Galaxy A52 has it beat when it comes to the cameras. On the other hand, POCO F3 is a better value in terms of sheer performance. Overall, the OnePlus Nord CE is a pretty well-balanced mid-range phone mostly thanks to its optimized OxygenOS.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a decent smartphone overall, that notches up recommendations for its snappy performance, speedy charging, and its classy design. However, it is by no means ahead of the rest of the pack at the same price point, as you can see from its mediocre showings with regard to its camera and battery life.

Priced Rs 22,999 onwards, the OnePlus Nord CE falls short of the expectations set by OnePlus through its marketing blitzkrieg. It justifies its core edition moniker but only in bits. As a package, it is confusing even when looked at from the value perspective because the phone is not considerably cheaper than its predecessor. Things get difficult for the Nord CE to justify its worth if it is put on scale alongside other midrange smartphones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (review) and Samsung Galaxy A52 (review). Therefore, consider the OnePlus Nord over the CE model if OnePlus is the brand you want to stick with. Otherwise, there are several options to go with in the midrange segment that can put the Nord CE in the shade – be it on paper or in real-life use.

Okay so the OnePlus Nord CE 5G isn’t particularly game-changing and I wouldn’t say it’s a better phone than the original Nord. In fact, it risks blending in against the masses of competition with its cheaper build and simpler design. But in saying that, anyone who wants to spend a bit less, needs a reliable battery and wants a decent display should definitely add this to their shortlist. If you’re on a budget, this phone doesn’t make too many compromises. It does take a bit of a hit in performance, but it’s really nothing dramatic and the phone will be able to cope with normal everyday tasks like texting and social media. The main draw of this phone is the price, and because of that, it's unlikely you're expecting a powerhouse anyway. Overall I'd say you get what you pay for, and maybe just a little bit more.

One year after OnePlus loudly stepped into the midrange and entry-level phone market with the OnePlus Nord, it’s back with the OnePlus Nord CE 5G. That “CE” at the end of its name stands for “Core Edition.” OnePlus claims the new phone strips back some of its predecessor’s less necessary features to focus on offering its “core” features at a more affordable price, similar to what Samsung offers with its “FE” (fan edition) devices.

One year after OnePlus loudly stepped into the midrange and entry-level phone market with the OnePlus Nord, it’s back with the OnePlus Nord CE 5G. That “CE” at the end of its name stands for “Core Edition.” OnePlus claims the new phone strips back some of its predecessor’s less necessary features to focus on offering its “core” features at a more affordable price, similar to what Samsung offers with its “FE” (fan edition) devices.

The Nord CE a capable all-rounder, benefitting from a solid mid-range chipset, slim build, and excellent battery life - not to mention top-tier software. A plastic body and so-so camera are the major drawbacks, stopping it from ever truly standing out from the pack, but there's still a lot to recommend about it.

This phone is similar to the OnePlus Nord in terms of experience. So, for Nord users this phone makes little sense. But if you are planning to upgrade from a budget smartphone then the new OnePlus Nord CE 5G is definitely a good choice. It’s a reliable phone which does its job well with good performance and pleasing design. But the biggest advantage of buying the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is that you get a smooth software experience, the promise of Android updates, good battery life and charging speed. The Nord CE 5G will easily cater to all the needs of most smartphone users in India minus all the jazz in this price range.

And that will be the theme of my verdict on the OnePlus Nord CE. For the money, it’s perfectly good. Performance is solid, the display is excellent, build and design are on point and the camera delivers crisp, well-exposed photos in most circumstances. Combine that with the superb battery life and you have a phone that ticks all the right boxes. The OnePlus Nord CE may not have the star quality of its premium sibling, the OnePlus 9 Pro, and it might not be a huge upgrade on its predecessor, but it’s a mighty fine handset in its own right.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is one of the best phones you can get in the ₹20,000-₹30,000 price range, and it’s also a very good option in the UK/Europe where prices start at £299/€299 for the 6/128GB model. It offers all the core features you’d want in a mid-range phone, including smooth performance, a decent display, great battery life, and fast charging. The fast in-display fingerprint scanner and the 3.5mm headphone jack are nice to have on a phone in this price range, and the phone’s main 64MP camera is also quite decent. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G’s great software experience is one of its major strengths, and it’s one of the main reasons I would feel comfortable recommending this phone to my friends. While OnePlus is betting big on the 5G aspect, I don’t see any reason for you to get the phone just for 5G if you live in India. India is still way behind when it comes to 5G adoption, and you’d probably have to retire this phone before 5G becomes widely available in the country.

Le OnePlus Nord CE 5G se glisse entre le N10 et le Nord, et offre une expérience vraiment séduisante sous la barre des 300€. Le OnePlus Nord (399€) a été une vraie bonne surprise qui a permis à la firme chinoise de couvrir par la suite l'entrée de gamme avec les Nord N10 et N100. Lancé à partir de 299€, le tout frais Nord CE 5G (CE pour Core Edition) vient quant à lui occuper l’entre-deux avec de sérieux arguments et l’idée de ne servir que l'essentiel. Quels sacrifices par rapport au Nord et quelle plus-value comparé au Nord N10 ?

The choices for the mid-range segment have become more compelling since the time OnePlus released its first device back in 2013. Re-entering the market segment the brand abandoned has its consequences, one of which is that it has to rebuild its fanbase. While The Nord CE does excel in areas such as design, software and battery, its shortcomings in the camera department could be a potential deal-breaker. The processing power offering by OnePlus phones has been counted as one of its biggest strengths, but in the case of the Nord CE, it isn’t really a plus point. In this price segment, there are quite a few good options present such as the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (review) which has arguably the best camera in the segment along with a higher refresh rate panel. If you want 5G capabilities, then the Realme X7 (review) can be a good option at a cheaper price.

The performance difference isn’t really significant, but feature ommissions like the lack of stereo speakers, the alert slider, higher-end protective glass, and the extra cameras (especially over at the front), all add up.

OnePlus Nord 'Core Edition' is something of an unusual phone in its position. The first OnePlus Nord in itself was supposed to represent the core essentials of OnePlus phones. Stripped down, but without real compromise. So in essence, the OnePlus Nord CE is a Core Edition of a Core Edition phone. But that's perhaps overthinking it a bit. What really matters is that for the money you're getting a phone without any significant flaws. It's fast and responsive, is well-designed, has a good camera and a good screen. It's comfortably one of the best phones in its price bracket. We question the removal of the alert slider though. It was one of the few remaining fixtures that helped OnePlus phones stand out from its competition. Without it, it feels like OnePlus is doing more blending in with the environment. It's transitioned away from standout phone maker, to just another phone maker and the CE is the culmination of that effort.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has adequate performance to keep up with what you throw at it, and the software experience is clean. OnePlus has also sweetened the deal by promising two years of software updates and three years of security updates, which should keep the phone up to date until you start thinking about your next upgrade. The triple camera setup can handle the basics, and given the price, there isn't much to complain about for daylight shots. Low-light camera performance is where this phone could still do with a few tweaks for improvement. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G does manage to deliver the core experience it promises, and given the starting price, it isn't hard to recommend this phone. However, the variant I've reviewed costs Rs, 27,999 and doesn't offer the same value for money as the entry-level model. For this price, you can consider the OnePlus Nord (Review), or wait for its successor rumored to launch soon. If you can spend a little extra, the Mi 11X (Review) offers higher performance.

You've probably noticed the recurring theme when comparing the Nord CE to its direct rivals - it has better performance than most, and it has a better battery life than most. Even though the camera software needs more work, the Nord CE can stand its ground in the face of competition with a compact size, great OLED display and snappy user experience. 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 recommendation from us.

That's not the case in day-to-day use, however, and it feels ironic that a phone dubbed the Core Edition cannot deliver on something as fundamental as the cameras. There's also the fact that the Nord CE will soon be overshadowed by the imminent arrival of the Nord 2. I revealed earlier in the year that the phone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 platform, and it will have better cameras and faster charging. If you're in the market for a new mid-range phone in 2021, you may as well pick up the Nord right now or wait for the Nord 2 to debut shortly. The Nord CE does little to push the needle for the Nord series, and OnePlus should have had the foresight to not launch it at all.

On paper, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G offers just about enough to impress as a mid-range smartphone. However, you're still better off steering clear of this device. For the price, this new affordable phone from OnePlus does not offer enough oomph to help establish it as the alpha offering. Its biggest problem is the competition that exists in the segment, and as such, its inability to stand out from the crowd makes it look weak not only against slightly better specd devices such as the Poco X3 Pro - a phone that offers a faster display, bigger battery and a more powerful processor -- but also against the original OnePlus Nord, which despite being slightly more expensive, and a year older, looks like the better of the two phones.

However, there are a few shortcomings as well, like the phone doesn't feel like a premium device thanks to the company's compromises to bring down the weight and price. The display isn't the best you get in this segment. The cameras also need some refinements. If you're okay with these, then you cannot go wrong with the OnePlus Nord CE 5G at all. Since I reviewed the 12GB RAM version (available at Rs 27,999), I cannot exactly comment on the 6GB RAM performance. But I believe that the 8GB RAM version (available at Rs 24,999) should be suitable for most people, even for those who are looking for a good gaming device at this price point. Of course, if you have the budget, then the 12GB RAM version is the best choice. Looking at the current sub-Rs 30,000 smartphone choices, I believe that the Nord CE is a clear winner in this segment at the moment. So, to answer, should you buy it? Yes.

Don’t buy a OnePlus Nord CE 5G expecting the kind of red hot bargain that made OnePlus famous in the first place. OnePlus basically took the original Nord, made it cheaper to produce (and a bit worse) but has not drastically cut the asking price, by today's numbers anyway. It’s a solid phone, and still coasts by Samsung in terms of the value for money on offer. However, with stacks of competition from the other rising Chinese brands, like Xiaomi and Realme, the key appeals here are less about the OnePlus Nord CE 5G’s tech and more about what’s going on outside. The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is smaller, lighter and thinner than most affordable 5G phones, and looks more elegant than damn near all of them. That may not be enough to satisfy the old-school OnePlus crowd, but it should do the job for many.

Unlike the original Nord which came with a Snapdragon 765G processor that was just below the flagship Snapdragon 800 series, the Nord CE 5G’s Snapdragon 750G is very firmly mid-range. What’s more, there are other devices in the market that can challenge it, such as the Mi 10i, which has the same chip and a 108-megapixel camera, stereo speakers and a bigger battery, and the recently released iQOO Z3 5G which actually comes with the Snapdragon 768G processor. And if you take 5G out of the equation (it is not present in India anyway at the time of writing), the Samsung Galaxy F62 comes into contention with its older but still very fast Exynos 9825 processor, a big battery, and very good cameras. And that is the challenge the Nord CE 5G faces: while it does a lot of things well and actually delivers a “little more” than we expected, it does not exactly overwhelm its competition and has no killer feature up its sleeves. Its strongest weapon is that interface inside and that logo on the back.

We were impressed with OnePlus’ return to the budget smartphone arena last year and the Nord brand is back in 2021 with the OnePlus Nord CE. The new 'Core Edition' model comes in at an even cheaper price than last year’s Nord with prices starting at a mere £299, and it doesn’t skimp on the features either.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G also aims to embody the manufacturer's original aspirations: A budget smartphone that can keep up with much more expensive premium devices. This worked out quite well for the predecessor, but will the second attempt be convincing as well?

We put the OnePlus Nord 2 5G through our rigorous DXOMARK Battery test suite to measure its performance in autonomy, charging and efficiency. In these test results, we will break down how it fared in a variety of tests and several common use cases.

So, overall, the Nord 2 is an intriguing product that isn't quite like any of its competitors. It's better in some aspects and worse in others, and whether it might, in early 2022, be the one for you depends entirely on what you prioritize most in your phone use. We've enjoyed all aspects of our time with it except those specifically pointed out as bugs or annoyances, so we can't really tell you to avoid it no matter what. But we would think long and hard if you specifically need its unique assortment of features. And if not, Samsung has a Galaxy A52s 5G to sell you for what is now a very similar price. Don't like Samsung? Check out the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G or 11 Lite 5G NE. Or, if you want more performance and care less about camera prowess, the Poco F3 (which we've reviewed long-term last year) can definitely provide for you.

OnePlus calls its brand-new Nord 2 the "flagship killer," and I get why. This phone has impressive specs, performs well and when paired with a reasonable starting price (only £399 here in the UK), it's designed to offer everything you'd need from a phone without emptying your bank account. A powerful processor, a solid dual rear camera setup, 5G connectivity, super fast charging -- and it's not bad to look at either. The phone became available for purchase yesterday for those living in continental Europe, the UK and India.

There you have any review of the OnePlus Nord 2, A cracking phone that is well worth the money that is being asked for it. Does it have some faults, yes of course and it won’t be the phone for the absolute top end spec hunters. It is not intended to be for that market, this is the categories being occupied by the OnePlus 9 Pro 5G and OnePlus 9 5G. This phone is intended for those who are a bit more price sensitive but still want good value and features. I think this is the most competitive market segment at the moment and for me, it is actually turning out to be the most interesting. Would I recommend this phone to people absolutely yes I would! It is defiantly one of my top 5 phones of the year so far and I have struggled to find anything that I would willingly replace it with. I am in a fortunate position to be able to play with phones from various different manufacturers that are aimed at all sorts of market segments.

OnePlus calls its brand-new Nord 2 the "flagship killer," and I get why. This phone has impressive specs, performs well and when paired with a reasonable starting price (only £399 here in the UK), it's designed to offer everything you'd need from a phone without emptying your bank account. A powerful processor, a solid dual rear camera setup, 5G connectivity, super fast charging -- and it's not bad to look at either. The phone became available for purchase yesterday for those living in continental Europe, the UK and India.

The OnePlus Nord 2 can be purchased in India at Rs 29,999 for the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant and Rs 34,999 for its 12 GB RAM variant with 256 GB storage. At that price, you get a phone with as good a design as that of a OnePlus 9 that’s Rs 20,000 more expensive, with performance comparable to the 9R that sells for Rs 40,000. It also improves on its predecessor on every front. Having said that, the competition hasn’t been sitting idle. In fact, there are a couple of handsets that can give Nord 2 a serious run for its money. The Realme X7 Max (Review) and Poco F3 GT are also powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 chip and sell for a few thousand rupees less. And that’s not all – both phones have higher 120 Hz refresh rate displays and 64 MP primary cameras (without OIS). The Poco F3 GT has a few extras for gamers including pop-up gaming triggers, but the software experience remains the best on Nord 2, courtesy of OxygenOS, making it a compelling choice in this segment.

OnePlus Nord 2 5G has so far impressed us with its design, performance, cameras, and fast charging capabilities. The smartphone has improved from its predecessor, the 5G support, a faster processor, better cameras with OIS support, stereo speakers, incredible charging speeds, and so on. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G can be greatly considered for people who are into multi-tasking and gaming under Rs 30,000 budget.

While the OG Nord did feel like something of a flagship killer, this one isn’t as competitive a year on. Flagships in 2021 are required by law to have 120Hz screens, fast wireless charging, zoom cameras, and IP ratings. A phone without any of that can't realistically hope to go toe-to-toe with much more expensive models, and that’s fine. Despite what OnePlus marketing would have you believe, this phone isn't really trying to compete with premium handsets. The Nord 2 is emblematic of the wider problem OnePlus is facing right now. It makes great phones with decent software, but it is struggling to stand out and is no longer anywhere near as competitive on price. The Nord series is apparently selling very well, so there’s no reason to believe this one will do badly. But after I reviewed the original OnePlus Nord last year, I kept using it for quite some time afterward. With the Nord 2, I'm already eager to move on, and that is very telling.

For a mid-range phone, OnePlus Nord 2 turned out to be an interesting solution. If we take its price in China, then the offer is good in a number of parameters. Glass body, very fast charging included, solid performance, concise and user-friendly interface, cool lever for quickly switching alert modes. There are suspiciously many advantages, but where are the disadvantages? There is no wireless charging – but it’s like anyone else, I don’t use it at all, preferring a fast wired one. There is no moisture protection, so it would be worth adding at last, it’s still a necessary thing. Is the photo quality not perfect? Yes, the camera could be improved, but given the price of the smartphone, it can be survived. After all, this is not an expensive flagship, but an advanced middle school student for adequate money.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is an extremely decent mid-range smartphone, which in some places turned out to be even more interesting than the manufacturer's base flagship. For example, its main camera is endowed with an optical stabilization system, which is not present in the OnePlus 9, and the new phone has a better battery life. There are, of course, many simplifications, but the smartphone is positioned differently. The Nord 2 5G is not a flagship, the requirements and expectations from which are higher, but in fact it turned out to be very close to more expensive models from OnePlus in particular.

With the release of the pricey OnePlus 9 Pro and the company’s merger with Oppo turning it into a sub brand, I feared everyone’s favorite flagship killer had lost its mojo. Don’t worry, because the Nord 2 proves we have nothing to fear. Sure, it may not have the same Snapdragon 888 CPU of the Realme GT or the 144Hz display of the RedMagic 6R, but the Nord 2 doesn’t make the same compromises as those rivals to stuff the spec sheet. Rather than leaning on a few powerful components and compromising on the rest of the formula, OnePlus created a balanced device that does just about everything well. The Nord 2 is a jack of all trades and even though it's a master of none, it achieves the balance you want in a mid-range smartphone. OnePlus might have gone corporate, but it hasn’t forgotten how to create a banger.

Powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chipset, the OnePlus Nord 2 brings a ton of features to the mid-range table including some that a few flagship smartphones don’t match such as 65W Warp Charge, whilst the 50MP Sony IMX766 camera sensor, the same one featured in the OnePlus 9 series, works a treat as the main snapper. The original Nord didn’t lack power but switching to MediaTek’s premier Dimensity 1200AI chipset takes performance on the Nord 2 to a different level entirely. The 90Hz AMOLED display is bright and accurate, the in-display fingerprint sensor is very, very good, and you’ll struggle to figure out where the corners were cut to achieve such a reasonable price. We are that impressed by the Nord 2 5G that we’ve given it the rare ‘Editors Choice’ award. If you have £399/£469 for a new phone, the OnePlus Nord 2 is the mid-range flagship champion of 2021, putting some much pricier phones to shame.

The smartphone comes pre-installed with OxygenOS 11.3 that sports improvements such as Dark Mode, Zen Mode, comfortable single-handed operation and various always on display (AOD) options, with additional personalisation, gestures and gaming-friendly customisation. In terms of battery, the smartphone houses a 4500mAh battery with Warp Charge 65 charging technology, just like the flagship OnePlus 9 series. More battery power would have made the device more appealing for heavy users. However, with the fast-charging technology, this is taken care of. Conclusion: With its premium looks and powerful processor, OnePlus Nord 5G is a phone that can surely woo all generations. It stands strong against the smartphones from other brands in the same price segment.

Priced at Rs 29,999 (8GB+128GB), the Nord 2 is a wholesome upgrade over its predecessor. It is a smartphone packed with the best of OnePlus and OPPO. It is a step forward in the right direction, despite it being a motley mix of OnePlus design and OPPO features. It is one of the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 system-on-chip-powered smartphones with strength across areas, including gaming. That said, the Nord 2 is a smartphone with something in store for everyone. Its all-round utility justifies its price and makes it a better proposition when compared to other MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC-powered smartphones like the Realme X7 Max, OPPO Reno6 Pro.

To wrap up this review, the OnePlus Nord 2 is certainly a healthy upgrade over last year’s Nord—no doubts on that! And with the Nord 2, I feel like OnePlus is back with the kind of value-for-money it used to provide a few years ago. At the same time, I think this phone also takes away the appeal of the more expensive OnePlus 9R and even the OnePlus 9 with its value-packed all-rounder performance. But again, this is not a perfect midrange phone. Its ultra-wide and selfie cameras are pretty average and the display isn’t as good as the competition. Yet, looking at the overall positive aspects, I would definitely recommend the Nord 2 to anyone who is looking for a reliable midrange phone. Yet, be sure to pick the 8/128GB variant instead of the 12/256GB variant, which I think misleads the value proposition of this phone.

Using the Nord 2 as a daily device for a couple of weeks has left us with the feeling that very little else is required for a great phone experience. From a speed, performance and design standpoint, it feels virtually no different to using a proper flagship phone. The only thing that lets it down slightly is the cameras. It's another instance of having one good primary camera, and the additional one not quite being up to scratch. Still, if ultra-wide photography rarely makes it into your repertoire, you'll be more than happy with the OnePlus Nord 2. It's going to give a mostly flagship like experience, at the fraction of the cost. There is now competition from the likes of Poco and Redmi though, so OnePlus is certainly not the only competitive mid-ranger in the pond.

At PHP 25,990 for the bigger 12GB + 256GB and PHP 21,990 for the 8GB + 128GB model, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a solid midrange device with flagship-level performance and a clean OS that long time users will appreciate. OnePlus’ departure from Snapdragon chipsets may raise some eyebrows because it brings with it its own set of challenges when it comes to software support, but the ColorOS integration is well-timed and hopefully brings more benefits in terms of stability and frequency of the promised software updates the device is expected to receive.

At PHP 25,990 for the bigger 12GB + 256GB and PHP 21,990 for the 8GB + 128GB model, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a solid midrange device with flagship-level performance and a clean OS that long time users will appreciate. OnePlus’ departure from Snapdragon chipsets may raise some eyebrows because it brings with it its own set of challenges when it comes to software support, but the ColorOS integration is well-timed and hopefully brings more benefits in terms of stability and frequency of the promised software updates the device is expected to receive.

OnePlus calls its brand-new Nord 2 the "flagship killer," and I get why. This phone has impressive specs, performs well and when paired with a reasonable starting price (£399 here in the UK), it's designed to offer everything you'd need from a phone without emptying your bank account. A powerful processor, a solid dual rear camera setup, 5G connectivity, super fast charging -- and it's not bad to look at either. The phone is now available for purchase for those living in continental Europe, the UK and India.

It’s perhaps inevitable that the Nord 2 isn’t quite as exciting as the first Nord for those of us who follow the industry closely. It's not as revelatory or novel, and with so many OnePlus models around now – this is the company’s sixth phone this year – it's hard to find any release as thrilling. Stiffer competition in the mid-range market doesn’t help, but the Nord 2 still makes a strong case for itself. The Dimensity 1200-AI chipset is one of the most powerful you’ll find for the price, the understated design remains appealing, and the main camera will outclass most rivals. And as ever, while Xiaomi and Realme may deliver better value on paper, the OxygenOS software experience still gives OnePlus an undeniable edge, and it isn’t going anywhere just yet.

A flagship-level processor and a much-improved feature set make the OnePlus Nord 2 a much better phone than the original Nord, despite the slightly higher price in India. The Nord 2 is closer to OnePlus' original flagship roots, while the Nord was content to be "pretty much everything you could want."

It does not support mmWave 5G, but the phone is not available in the US, so this should not be a cause of concern for anyone.

The Nord 2 is emblematic of the wider problem OnePlus is facing right now. It makes great phones with decent software, but it is struggling to stand out and is no longer anywhere near as competitive on price. The Nord series is apparently selling very well, so there’s no reason to believe this one will do badly. But after I reviewed the original OnePlus Nord last year, I kept using it for quite some time afterward. With the Nord 2, I'm already eager to move on, and that is very telling.

The OnePlus Nord 2 reminds me of older OnePlus smartphones, which used to deliver great value for money. With the OnePlus flagship series going up in price every year, the Nord 2 will come as some relief for those who don't wish to spend so much. It sticks to the company's core philosophy and delivers good performance and cameras for the price. The software experience is also good, and I hope that the integration of OxygenOS with ColourOS does not change this too much. For those looking purely at performance and gaming, the Poco F3 GT could be an alternative worth considering. However, if you are looking for a good all-rounder at this price level, the OnePlus Nord 2 should be your pick.

I like the direction OnePlus is heading with the Nord 2. It isn’t all about 5G or getting a better software experience to the mid-range segment which was the basis of the very first Nord. This time there has been a concise effort to bring in better performance, camera and design elements to establish dominance over the competition. The company has done a remarkable job in that regard and the OnePlus aficionados are going to love the ease of use provided by the Nord 2. Competition to the device comes in the form of the IQOO 7, Mi 11X and the X7 Max, with each of them offering something or the other that trumps the Nord 2. However, in terms of overall functionality, I think the Nord 2 packs in more of a punch than each of its competitors.

In the end, the OnePlus Nord 2 ends up in a similar space to our verdict on the original Nord — distinctly average. It’s a fine all-rounder with a reasonable value proposition, but it’s not a game-changer for the mid-range market. The most noteworthy improvement is the phone’s near-flagship performance and, for some, that will be enough to tip the phone into buy territory. But given all the hype and marketing, the Nord 2 is ultimately rather underwhelming.

The 8-megapixel super-wide lens is noticeably less detailed, but it too seems capable of capturing good-looking outdoor images. There's an on-screen option for 2x zoom but there isn't a zoom lens, so that 2x is based on digitally cropping the shot. Results still look good, but it's worth keeping in mind that you won't get maximum quality doing this. There's also technically a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor, which is totally pointless in my opinion as a photographer. If you want good-looking black and white images, use the regular camera and apps like Adobe Lightroom or Snapseed to have full control over converting to mono. Frankly, I feel OnePlus could have pulled this out and lopped another 20 quid or so off the price.

The Nord 2 in my books stands up as a phone that will appeal to a wide range of people who don’t want anything special in their phone, but need the device to be good at everything it does. This is an all-rounder phone like its predecessor and will appeal to everyone from young adults to senior users who want to step beyond the range of the budget phone and get a top up for that extra spend in terms of performance, experience and camera capabilities.

Thanks to the Dimensity 1200, the Nord 2 is significantly faster than its predecessor. The 50MP camera does a better job with photos and videos, and you get a vibrant 90Hz AMOLED screen along with 65W fast charging. OxygenOS 11.3 is based on ColorOS, but the UI itself is still clean and bloat-free. As an overall package, the Nord 2 is one of the best you'll find in the mid-range segment right now.

All of which contributes to what is a highly positive overall picture for the OnePlus Nord 2. It isn’t perfect, of course: there’s no wireless charging, microSD card slot or IP rating and video capture is restricted to a disappointing 1080p at 30fps, but the Nord 2 easily hits back in other ways. Crucially, it’s quicker than most other Android phones at this price - only the Poco F3 is quicker, battery life is also very good and the stills photography capabilities are excellent. The AMOLED screen also delivers sumptuous imagery, whether you’re browsing the web or binge-watching Loki on Disney Plus. On balance, I’d say that makes the OnePlus Nord 2 5G a fantastic all-rounder in its price bracket. If you’re not too bothered about missing out on 4K video and you have £400 going spare, then you can't go wrong with this phone.

Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G seems like an upgrade over the original Nord in every respect, based on the specs. However, it has gone up in price as well, so it'll be interesting to see if this new smartphone still offers good value for money, or whether you'd be better off with the Nord CE 5G. I will be putting the Nord 2 5G through benchmarks and camera tests, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for the full review, coming up soon.

The entire point of the new Nord series was to give flagship phones a run for their money by offering a package that provides consumers with a OnePlus device at an affordable price point. But, unfortunately, at a starting price of Rs 27,999, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a phone that's difficult to recommend, and that's because the company now has an excellent device at the bottom of its pyramid, that's the Nord CE 5G. For power users who want the absolute best, they can go for the OnePlus 9R which's available at Rs 39,999. It is also a phone aimed at gamers, which can double up as your primary device for work and play. In a day, Poco will be launching its new Poco F3 GT with almost the same chipset, and that will be compared to the Nord 2. I'm guessing pricing is the key.

It's been a while since OnePlus offered us a phone worthy of its pioneered title, but here is the Nord 2 successfully reclaiming just that.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is a reasonable step forward for the brand’s mid-range strategy after a few side-steps and stumbles. I like how well the phone fits within the broader line-up of OnePlus phones. The basics are all here and there’s little to fault with the hardware. Sure, it is a foolhardy endeavor to try using the phone full throttle, but most users will be more than satisfied with the optimized experience on offer. Unfortunately, Oxygen OS on its own isn’t nearly enough and OnePlus simply can’t afford to be complacent on essentials like the camera. The mid-range segment in Europe and India is crowded with big hitters and unlike the flagship territory, OnePlus is far from the only affordable option. All in all, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a pretty good phone with decent hardware credentials and a premium look, but just not enough to be a stand-out for a strong recommendation amidst a sea of competitors vying for buyer attention.

On the whole the Nord 2 feels very much like a case of picking up where it left off with the first Nord. There have been a few tweaks to the design, but it looks and feels very similar. Still, the powerful new processor inside and fast battery should elevate the experience somewhat and offer an experience that might just leave you questioning whether you should get a more expensive phone at all. The other thing worth considering is that OnePlus is not alone in the competitive mid-range market. The Poco F3 - as one example - promises very similar performance and specs on paper, and it costs even less. So while the Nord 2 may seem a great bargain against the likes of the Apple iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S21, Xiaomi's sub-brands Poco and Redmi are very much of the moment - and OnePlus can't ignore this pressure.

From our initial testing the OnePlus Nord 2 looks like a device that can compete well in a crowded market space with alternatives like the Google Pixel 4a and Samsung Galaxy A52 5G surrounding it. While we’ll need to test it further, if you like the look of OnePlus’ products and the brand’s ethos, this is likely to be a good handset for you if you don’t want to splash out on the absolute top-tier devices like the OnePlus 9 Pro.

OnePlus was brave when to choose its "everything you could ask for" slogan, but it's been proven correct in our OnePlus Nord 2 review. The Nord 2 ticks basically every box when looking at its specs, and is a capable new rival in the premium mid-range market, even if its claims of being a flagship killer aren't quite borne out. The Nord 2 is a phone to go for if you prioritize display quality and charging speed, but not one if you want the best performance. If you're a phone photography fan, the Nord 2 doesn't quite edge out the competition on image quality alone, but its cheaper price may convince you it's a better buy than a Pixel 4a 5G or an iPhone SE. The only major complaint I can levy at the Nord 2 is the fact that American readers can't buy it. Sure U.S. phone buyers can pick the Nord N10 or Nord N200, but they are far cheaper phones with more distinct flaws. The Nord 2, like its predecessor, is an outstanding mid-range phone that is unfairly kept from large numbers of potential customers.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is a near-perfect £400 Android phone if you can cope with one thing. Its battery life is not great, and the heavy user will have to occasionally give it a mid-day top-up to avoid evening headaches. OnePlus’s ultra-fast charging makes this less onerous than it might otherwise be, but it’s not ideal. Still interested? The Nord 2 is a well-made phone with a great primary camera that can even beat the OnePlus 9’s in a few situations. And its selfie camera beats the OnePlus 9’s in all conditions. General performance is excellent, and it’s perfect for gaming. That’s not just about frame rates, but also the use of good stereo speakers and a bold, bright OLED screen.

OnePlus struck a great balance with the Nord 2. You can play top-end games with stereo sound. Photos turn out great, day or night. A Gorilla Glass back gets you away from the all-plastic build that Samsung and Google offer at the price. All of which only makes its relatively short battery life all the more annoying. If you can shrug off visits to the plug as a necessary chore of smartphone ownership, the OnePlus Nord 2 offers outstanding value. But if two-day battery life is a dealbreaker, this isn't the flagship killer for you.

A month ago, OnePlus announced the so-called Nord CE or “Core Edition,” an affordable phone which was pitched as offering the essential features of a OnePlus smartphone without any extra bloat. But the more I use the OnePlus Nord 2, the more I think that this is the phone that fits that description much more accurately. From its screen, to its cameras, its processor, and its software, the Nord 2 feels like a flagship phone stripped of any unnecessary features. There’s no Hasselblad-branded cameras, just a reasonably specced set of sensors. There’s no flagship Qualcomm chipset, but instead you get a processor that has no trouble handling the day-to-day duties of a modern smartphone. No wireless charging, but fast wired charging that more than makes up for it. All of this adds up to a compelling device if you’re looking to spend between £400 and £500 and you’re in a market when OnePlus is actually selling the Nord 2. A stripped down flagship it may be, but it’s hard to argue with what’s been left.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is OnePlus' flagship smartphone without the flagship price and that's what we love about OnePlus - they're always wanting to keep the premium smartphone manufacturers with their big prices on their toes. The autofocus works impressively well, too. For those who think the inexpensive smartphones that are currently available just don't perform well but, on the other hand, premium smartphones are way too expensive, the Nord 2 5G will be a sensible middle ground as just like the original Nord did, the Nord 2 5G fills a gap between cheap and expensive with a price point that's reasonable and features that are well worth having a look at. Does it give premium flagship smartphones a run for their money? Not quite but that shouldn't stop you from looking at the Nord 2 5G as what it does offer (price, performance & features) make it a good mid-range smartphone option that we're happy to 'Recommend'.

Thanks to the Dimensity 1200, the Nord 2 is significantly faster than its predecessor. The 50MP camera does a better job with photos and videos, and you get a vibrant 90Hz AMOLED screen along with 65W fast charging. OxygenOS 11.3 is based on ColorOS, but the UI itself is still clean and bloat-free. As an overall package, the Nord 2 is one of the best you'll find in the mid-range segment right now.

All of which contributes to what is a highly positive overall picture for the OnePlus Nord 2. It isn’t perfect, of course: there’s no wireless charging, microSD card slot or IP rating and video capture is restricted to a disappointing 1080p at 30fps, but the Nord 2 easily hits back in other ways. Crucially, it’s quicker than most other Android phones at this price - only the Poco F3 is quicker, battery life is also very good and the stills photography capabilities are excellent. The AMOLED screen also delivers sumptuous imagery, whether you’re browsing the web or binge-watching Loki on Disney Plus. On balance, I’d say that makes the OnePlus Nord 2 5G a fantastic all-rounder in its price bracket. If you’re not too bothered about missing out on 4K video and you have £400 going spare, then you can't go wrong with this phone.

Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G seems like an upgrade over the original Nord in every respect, based on the specs. However, it has gone up in price as well, so it'll be interesting to see if this new smartphone still offers good value for money, or whether you'd be better off with the Nord CE 5G. I will be putting the Nord 2 5G through benchmarks and camera tests, so stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for the full review, coming up soon.

The entire point of the new Nord series was to give flagship phones a run for their money by offering a package that provides consumers with a OnePlus device at an affordable price point. But, unfortunately, at a starting price of Rs 27,999, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a phone that's difficult to recommend, and that's because the company now has an excellent device at the bottom of its pyramid, that's the Nord CE 5G. For power users who want the absolute best, they can go for the OnePlus 9R which's available at Rs 39,999. It is also a phone aimed at gamers, which can double up as your primary device for work and play. In a day, Poco will be launching its new Poco F3 GT with almost the same chipset, and that will be compared to the Nord 2. I'm guessing pricing is the key.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a glimmer of hope that the flagship killers may be finally coming home. It's been a while since OnePlus offered us a phone worthy of its pioneered title, but here is the Nord 2 successfully reclaiming just that. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a worthy smartphone offering an excellent pick of flagship features and sold at a very lucrative price - a flagship killer, if you will. One that easily earns our recommendation.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is a reasonable step forward for the brand’s mid-range strategy after a few side-steps and stumbles. I like how well the phone fits within the broader line-up of OnePlus phones. The basics are all here and there’s little to fault with the hardware. Sure, it is a foolhardy endeavor to try using the phone full throttle, but most users will be more than satisfied with the optimized experience on offer. Unfortunately, Oxygen OS on its own isn’t nearly enough and OnePlus simply can’t afford to be complacent on essentials like the camera. The mid-range segment in Europe and India is crowded with big hitters and unlike the flagship territory, OnePlus is far from the only affordable option. All in all, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a pretty good phone with decent hardware credentials and a premium look, but just not enough to be a stand-out for a strong recommendation amidst a sea of competitors vying for buyer attention.

On the whole the Nord 2 feels very much like a case of picking up where it left off with the first Nord. There have been a few tweaks to the design, but it looks and feels very similar. Still, the powerful new processor inside and fast battery should elevate the experience somewhat and offer an experience that might just leave you questioning whether you should get a more expensive phone at all. The other thing worth considering is that OnePlus is not alone in the competitive mid-range market. The Poco F3 - as one example - promises very similar performance and specs on paper, and it costs even less. So while the Nord 2 may seem a great bargain against the likes of the Apple iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S21, Xiaomi's sub-brands Poco and Redmi are very much of the moment - and OnePlus can't ignore this pressure.

From our initial testing the OnePlus Nord 2 looks like a device that can compete well in a crowded market space with alternatives like the Google Pixel 4a and Samsung Galaxy A52 5G surrounding it. While we’ll need to test it further, if you like the look of OnePlus’ products and the brand’s ethos, this is likely to be a good handset for you if you don’t want to splash out on the absolute top-tier devices like the OnePlus 9 Pro.

OnePlus was brave when to choose its "everything you could ask for" slogan, but it's been proven correct in our OnePlus Nord 2 review. The Nord 2 ticks basically every box when looking at its specs, and is a capable new rival in the premium mid-range market, even if its claims of being a flagship killer aren't quite borne out. The Nord 2 is a phone to go for if you prioritize display quality and charging speed, but not one if you want the best performance. If you're a phone photography fan, the Nord 2 doesn't quite edge out the competition on image quality alone, but its cheaper price may convince you it's a better buy than a Pixel 4a 5G or an iPhone SE. The only major complaint I can levy at the Nord 2 is the fact that American readers can't buy it. Sure U.S. phone buyers can pick the Nord N10 or Nord N200, but they are far cheaper phones with more distinct flaws. The Nord 2, like its predecessor, is an outstanding mid-range phone that is unfairly kept from large numbers of potential customers.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is a near-perfect £400 Android phone if you can cope with one thing. Its battery life is not great, and the heavy user will have to occasionally give it a mid-day top-up to avoid evening headaches. OnePlus’s ultra-fast charging makes this less onerous than it might otherwise be, but it’s not ideal. Still interested? The Nord 2 is a well-made phone with a great primary camera that can even beat the OnePlus 9’s in a few situations. And its selfie camera beats the OnePlus 9’s in all conditions. General performance is excellent, and it’s perfect for gaming. That’s not just about frame rates, but also the use of good stereo speakers and a bold, bright OLED screen.

OnePlus struck a great balance with the Nord 2. You can play top-end games with stereo sound. Photos turn out great, day or night. A Gorilla Glass back gets you away from the all-plastic build that Samsung and Google offer at the price. All of which only makes its relatively short battery life all the more annoying. If you can shrug off visits to the plug as a necessary chore of smartphone ownership, the OnePlus Nord 2 offers outstanding value. But if two-day battery life is a dealbreaker, this isn't the flagship killer for you.

A month ago, OnePlus announced the so-called Nord CE or “Core Edition,” an affordable phone which was pitched as offering the essential features of a OnePlus smartphone without any extra bloat. But the more I use the OnePlus Nord 2, the more I think that this is the phone that fits that description much more accurately. From its screen, to its cameras, its processor, and its software, the Nord 2 feels like a flagship phone stripped of any unnecessary features. There’s no Hasselblad-branded cameras, just a reasonably specced set of sensors. There’s no flagship Qualcomm chipset, but instead you get a processor that has no trouble handling the day-to-day duties of a modern smartphone. No wireless charging, but fast wired charging that more than makes up for it. All of this adds up to a compelling device if you’re looking to spend between £400 and £500 and you’re in a market when OnePlus is actually selling the Nord 2. A stripped down flagship it may be, but it’s hard to argue with what’s been left.

The Nord 2 5G costs more than that, and is pretty similar to the Nord in a lot of ways -- including the fact that it’s not destined for the US. I’ve been testing the Nord 2 for a couple of days, and if you liked the proposition of the original Nord, you’ll probably like its sequel.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is OnePlus' flagship smartphone without the flagship price and that's what we love about OnePlus - they're always wanting to keep the premium smartphone manufacturers with their big prices on their toes. The autofocus works impressively well, too. For those who think the inexpensive smartphones that are currently available just don't perform well but, on the other hand, premium smartphones are way too expensive, the Nord 2 5G will be a sensible middle ground as just like the original Nord did, the Nord 2 5G fills a gap between cheap and expensive with a price point that's reasonable and features that are well worth having a look at.

If you are a fan of the classic arcade game you will love OnePlus Nord 2 × Pac-Man Edition, a refreshingly enhanced version of the Nord 2 which I rated the best smartphone you can buy in Ireland for less than €450 when I reviewed it here. The fantastic new version of the superfast handset is a collab with gaming powerhouse BANDAI NAMCO Europe S.A.S. It’s not just a fresh lick of paint on the outside, as there is customised user experience in everyday use along with fun games, challenges and exclusive Pac-Man content. It all combines to ensure that anyone who buys one of these devices will feel like they have got their hands on something special. I’ve been testing the device for a week and I’ll outline the key changes compared to the standard Nord 2 below….

Unfortunately, there’s no IP rating for the Nord 2's water and dust resistance, so try to keep it safe and dry. There’s nothing old fashioned about this screen, rocking a 6.43-inch OLED display with a decent FHD resolution of 1080 x 2400, which isn’t the highest around, but it was still great for films, browsing the web and gaming. The bezels on this screen are minor, and the bottom one is slightly more noticeable, it’s not enough to be annoying or hamper use but it does give the phone a Nord 2 a slight chin. The screen is bright and sharp, with good contrast and colours pop and can even be further increased with vivid mode making it ideal for watching films and playing games. The Nord 2 even offers HDR 10 support which keeps your highlights bright, and your darks clear and black. Also, if you are a gamer (and if you own this phone that is a fair assumption) it also supports a refresh rate of 90Hz, so the visual will look nice and smooth and while it’s not as high as some 120Hz devices it’s also less battery intensive.

OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition is packed with PAC-MAN themes, wallpapers, retro-style app icons, charging animation, ringtones, and sounds from the game along with the original PAC-MAN 256 app pre-installed on the phone, and a protective case covering almost every bit of the PAC-MAN video game giving all that nostalgic feeling for its fans. It also bundles a special LEGO-styled building blocks DIY mobile holder if you purchase the phone from the OnePlus store. What’s also interesting is its design, the glowing fluorescent neon back is impressive and unique, and it definitely grabs one’s attention. However, it carries the same hardware as the standard variant, the performance, the cameras, and fast charging capabilities are all from its standard variant, costing ₹3,000 additional compared to the top-end variant of the standard edition. Aside from these, the OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition offers exceptional performance, great cameras with OIS support, stereo sound experience, and super-fast 65W charging with incredible charging speeds.

Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition is quite an exciting product for people who like to have something different from the mundane but feature rich smartphone. Although the smartphone costs Rs 3,000 more than the regular Nord 2 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the attention to detail makes it an interesting buy.

Chinese electronics maker OnePlus has a rich history of making limited-edition smartphones. That legacy continues with the Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition, launched recently. This smartphone, however, is different from any of the previous iterations of limited-edition OnePlus smartphones. It is a holistic package with a captivating design and customised Android 11 operating system-based OxygenOS 11 OS, besides a lot of PAC-MAN inspired content and PAC-MAN 256 – Endless Maze game pre-installed. The OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition is everything a limited-edition smartphone should be.

The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition is an insanely good-looking smartphone, albeit when the lights are switched off. The OnePlus Nord 2 itself is a great smartphone in its price segment. Now, you’re essentially getting a combination of both for a price that’s slightly higher than the standard edition of the Nord 2. In India, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition can be yours for ₹37,999. In the UK and EU, the device is priced at £499 and €529 respectively. The sale starts at 12 noon on Tuesday, 16 November. OnePlus is selling this special edition in just a single config — 12GB RAM + 256GB internal storage. The standard OnePlus Nord 2 in this RAM+storage configuration costs ₹34,999 in India, £469 in the UK, and €499 in Europe. By paying a small premium, you’re getting a unique glow-in-the-dark design, a better case, and a smartphone holder too. If I were you, I would splurge on the Pac-Man edition just for that gorgeous back. It’s just too good to pass.

The Nord CE 2 is a minor evolution of OnePlus's Core Edition line of smartphones. As successor to the Nord CE it improved upon various aspects thereof but unfortunately also made a few things worse. Find out in our review whether or not this phone is worth purchasing.
Source: Expert Reviews

All of this adds up to a pretty tempting package. The MediaTek chipset delivers impressive performance, battery life is excellent and the camera is respectable as well. And for £299, the Nord 2 CE looks pretty swish, despite its largely plastic build. Add in a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD storage expansion support and dual-SIM capability and you have one of the most well-rounded handsets for the money. If you don't have piles of cash to spend, you can't wrong with the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G; it's a fabulously affordable smartphone.

The Oneplus Nord CE 2 smartphone design, the smooth 90Hz AMOLED display, and its fast processor are some of the main attractions of the phone and if you are someone who wants these features on your new phone, then the OnePlus Nord CE 2 phone is for you. But if you want a waterproof design and a better camera, then this is not the phone for you. In that case, you should look for an alternative option. Apart from that, I don’t have any reason not to buy this smartphone considering the price is totally justified. If you do need an alternative at this price range, the OnePlus Nord N20 is a good alternative. It has an AMOLED display, decent chipset, fast charging, and 5G support. But if do decide to buy the Oneplus Nord CE 2 smartphone, we assure you that you won’t be disappointed especially with its smooth OxygenOS user interface.

With OnePlus now more under Oppo’s watchful eye than ever, there was a danger the Nord CE 2 would lose some of its identity. You could make that argument as it’s more of an Oppo/Realme phone than ever (yes, these are all the same company). Like the original CE, it doesn’t have the alert slider on the side of the phone to switch between silent, vibrate and ringer modes – and that was once a OnePlus hallmark. The ever-increasing problem at this price point is that the market is now very crowded and it’s hard to stand out – and it could be argued that only the OnePlus name truly sets this phone apart from rivals.

So, after using OnePlus Nord CE 2 for almost a month now, I have kind of mixed feelings about the phone. It’s not something I would recommend then and there, but it’s not a particularly bad phone either. The Nord CE 2 is a capable performer that offers a no-nonsense bloatware-free experience, while it’s also got a fairly reliable set of cameras. Having said that, OnePlus hasn’t been able to catch up with the competition in the mid-range segment just yet. If not a big upgrade, the company should’ve at least offered some quality-of-life improvements here such as a glass back, a higher refresh rate, stereo speakers, and maybe longer software updates as well. So, unless you want the “OnePlus” experience, the Realme 9 Pro+ feels like your safest bet right now—whereas the Xiaomi 11i with its 120Hz display, Dimensity 920, and 108MP cameras is also a viable option in this price bracket.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G has been improved in terms of design, performance, and fast charging. You get a wonderful 65W SuperVOOC fast charging that takes approximately 30 minutes to fully charge the battery, a 90 Hz Fluid AMOLED display, and cameras that you can rely on. For the price of ₹23,999, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a reasonable choice among the contenders.

OnePlus has worked hard to make the Nord CE 2 5G a good all-rounder. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G offers good performance, beautiful daylight photos, and reasonable battery life, all in a well-built and attractive package. When you combine the clean interface with a number of customizability options, you have a phone that deserves consideration. The Nord CE 2 also appears to be well prepared for the future, with connectivity for eight 5G bands built-in, as well as an audio jack and memory expansion. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is definitely not perfect, and there are a few things that other smartphones in this category have that the OnePlus Nord CE 2 does not. These aren’t deal-breakers, but they would have been helpful. If you’re not a fan of OnePlus and want to explore around, there are some other options, like the Realme 9 Pro Plus.

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 good without being fancy, the design is generic and bland, but the phone is sturdy yet slim and light. If you use the camera like most people, you’ll probably be happy and satisfied, too, and the phone runs fast enough for most people without getting hot or stalling and crashing in the middle of everything. Not much storage comes with the purchase (128 gigabytes), but for a rare occasion you can expand the space by up to 1 terabyte with an external memory card. If you have a few extra quids to spend on a mobile and you like OnePlus, you should buy the OnePlus Nord 2 instead. In fact, it’s the best mid-range OnePlus phone we’ve tested to date.

The Nord CE 2's excellent battery life, 90Hz AMOLED screen, uncluttered software setup and distinctive backplate design may appeal to many smartphone buyers on a restricted budget. However, the poor speaker and average cameras are significant drawbacks. Although the Nord CE 2 is a competent mid-range smartphone, there's plenty of competition in this price bracket. OnePlus fans might also want to consider the Nord 2, which, discounted at the time of writing, offers a higher specification for only a little more outlay.

Even by OnePlus's usual standards, the Nord CE 2 has very little going for it. The hardware is nearly unchanged from its predecessor, which immediately puts the phone at a disadvantage — particularly when there are so many great devices in this category. Combine that with the inexcusable software decisions, and I don't see any reason to buy the Nord CE 2. If you're interested in a phone for under ₹25,000 ($330), you're better off with the Realme 9 Pro+ instead. Realme is making all the right moves on the software front, and that has allowed the brand to stand out from its BBK siblings in 2022.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is an impressive affordable mid-ranger, with only a few flaws. In fact, perhaps its biggest challenge is simply that spending only a little more would net you the even better Nord 2. Performance, battery, and charging all impress for the price, and the design is slick enough to outgrow its humble plasticky origins. The camera has its flaws, but is typical for the price, with a main camera that’s good during the day, and other lenses that are at least serviceable. The biggest downside is really OnePlus’s lacklustre commitment to software updates, which will likely see the phone out of updates by the end of next year.

Priced Rs 23,999 for the base model, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a balanced smartphone. It is a no-frill smartphone with no fancy bells and whistles to compete against feature-rich peers. Yet, it makes a solid proposition in the midrange segment simply because it is easy to use and ticks all the right boxes. Though focused on core competency, there is more to the OnePlus Nord CE 2 than meets the eye.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a good smartphone that you can consider buying if your budget is around Rs 24,000. It offers an attractive design, a powerful enough chipset, a big battery with support for faster (65W) charging speed. It can also take appealing photos in daylight. Though, the ultra-wide camera is not that good. Alternatively, there is the Realme 9 Pro+, which offers a slightly better camera experience with OIS support and even stereo speakers. But, you don’t get the clean, bloatware-free software experience that you get with OnePlus phones. You can instead buy the OnePlus Nord 2 if you want stereo speakers, and OIS support for better stable videos. Though, you will have to spend Rs 4,000 more.

All of this adds up to a pretty tempting package. The MediaTek chipset delivers impressive performance, battery life is excellent and the camera is respectable as well. And for £299, the Nord 2 CE looks pretty swish, despite its largely plastic build. Add in a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD storage expansion support and dual-SIM capability and you have one of the most well-rounded handsets for the money. If you don't have piles of cash to spend, you can't wrong with the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G; it's a fabulously affordable smartphone.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2, in many ways, reminds us of a classic Nokia phone in the pre-2010 era – a solid and smart performer. However, it is not a record-breaking device but is looking to score on good old basics. Just how many people value that in a segment that is increasingly spec-obsessed could determine how well it does in the market. There will always be room for a phone which does the basics well. But how big that room is, is anyone’s guess. With the OnePlus Nord CE 2, OnePlus has bravely gambled on the user experience rather than a device spec sheet. The coming days will tell us if the move pays off.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 doesn’t give you too many reasons to love it. Sure, the design is borrowed, but it’s an improvement over its predecessor. Likewise, the main camera is solid, it’s fast to charge, and the interface remains bloat-free. However, those aren’t big enough reasons to look past the glaring drabness of the Nord CE 2, and that’s before you factor in the outdated software, tinny mono speaker, and poor secondary cameras. As the Oppo-ification of OnePlus continues, derivative hardware is starting to become a theme. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 isn’t the worst phone you can buy for just shy of £300, but it does nothing to reverse the tide and is, unfortunately, yet another example of an uninspired budget smartphone from OnePlus amongst a sea of better alternatives. The Samsung A32 5G (£249) is still an easy recommendation that loses some processing power but melds quality cameras with a classy design and excellent software support. There’s also the Poco M4 Pro (£239) to consider with its IP53 rating, slick design, and superb battery life.

As I said in the beginning, the Nord CE 2 has more shades of Oppo than OnePlus. It is very much evident that the future lineup of OnePlus phones, especially on the budget and mid-end, will have similarities to that of Oppo phones. That, however, shouldn’t impact the quality consumers expect from a OnePlus phone. If you ask me who should buy a Nord CE 2, I would say anyone who wants to upgrade an old Samsung Galaxy phone or a Xiaomi Note phone. The Nord CE 2 might appeal to those Android phones who have never experienced OxygenOS due to OnePlus’s high price tag.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G offers good competence in all the key areas, and pulls away from the rest of the best cheap phones when it comes to fast-charging. If you’re looking for the best gaming performance you can get for your money, or even the best camera results, then you’d be best advised to keep looking; the iPhone SE 2 and the Poco F3 are good potential alternatives. However, if a reliable all-rounder is what you’re in the market for, then this one’s a solid bet.

For its price, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a solid offering. It might not be the most exciting phone on the market, but it gets the job done without any serious compromises. The main issue is that we've seen a large number of competitors entering this mid-range market over the past couple of years. Therefore the second-gen Nord CE doesn't have any one standout feature to help set it apart from the rest. Overall the OnePlus Nord CE 2 delivers about as complete a package as you could expect on a budget. Still, with the older Nord 2 available with a bit of a discount, we'd recommend spending a bit extra and getting that more premium model.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 does not do anything outstanding. At this price point, there are other phones like the iQOO Z3 and the Realme 9 Pro+ that offer better value. Both these phones bring powerful hardware, and the Realme 9 Pro+ also brings slightly better cameras. But then again, both these phones also have their fail points. For example, the iQOO Z3 does not sport an AMOLED panel, while the Realme 9 Pro+ loses to the competition in the design department. In comparison, the Nord CE 2 successfully manages to avoid falling into this trap. OnePlus' new mid-range device does not offer segment-leading performance in any of the main departments. In fact, it remains strictly above-par overall. But what the Nord CE 2 does right is that it does not fail in any of these departments. Be it cameras, general performance, or even gaming, it offers above-par results everywhere, thereby establishing itself as a good contender for your money -- even if not an outright winner.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a very reasonably priced smartphone that gives those looking for an affordable OnePlus camera phone a viable option. The cameras capture decent photos that are perfect for sharing online but dynamic range and sharpness could be better and those who regularly capture photos with smartphones will probably notice the drop in quality when compared with more expensive devices as well as camera phones at a similar price point. There are some clever tricks built-in, though, such as the way the AI introduces bokeh without clipping and the Night Mode is pretty good, too. As with all OnePlus smartphones, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 offers a user experience that can't be ignored and for that reason, combined with the excellent price, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 will be worth taking a look at even with the few compromises you have to make simply because it's a more affordable smartphone.

Global technology brand OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus Nord CE 2 – a new €349 device that features a 90 Hz AMOLED display, OxygenOS 11 and 5G support. The firm said that CE stands for Core Experience and is really pushing the superfast charging in its marketing drive. The launch comes just weeks after the company’s 2022 flagship device OnePlus 10 Pro went on sale in China. That phone has yet to be launched in Europe but indications are that it will be landing in March. OnePlus Nord CE 2 features a flagship-standard 65W Supervooc fast charger that is actually manufactured by sister company OPPO. The company said that it provides the phone’s 4,500 mAh dual-cell battery with up to a day’s power in just 15 minutes – twice as fast as the original OnePlus Nord CE.

In all, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is shaping up to be another cracking, budget-friendly handset from the Chinese tech giant. Again, it will be released on 10 March, with preorders for the £299 model with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM opening on 3 March. Watch out for our full review in due course, too.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is good update to the original and if you haven't already bought the previous model, I'd say the new one is worth buying. It's basically a lower-priced Oppo Reno 7 without the spammy apps, which is not a bad deal. The Nord CE 2 offers a premium design, good performance, solid battery life, very fast charging, and decent cameras for still photography. Video recording is not its strong suit, but other than that, it's hard to complain. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is by no means perfect and there are a couple of features that are missing, that other phones in this segment do offer. These aren't deal-breakers but would have been nice to have. For instance, if you're looking for an IP rating for dust and water resistance, the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion (Review) is a very good option. On the other hand, if you need good stereo speakers, it would be hard to beat the Realme 9 Pro+ which starts at around Rs. 25,000.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a reasonably well-featured and well-performing phone for the price. It has an attractive design, good display, relatively clean and simple UI with good performance, good main camera quality, decent battery life with fast charging, and even includes a few bells and whistles that have become increasingly rare, such as a headphone jack and expandable storage. The phone is also basically just the Oppo Reno7 5G with different software. While that may have been a valid strategy in the past, with the software between the two companies merging even that one difference wouldn't really be relevant in the future. At which point, why even have the two phones in the same market anymore. Moreover, why should the customer pick one over the other?

At the starting price of Rs. 23,999, the phone actually finds itself surrounded by some stiff competition. Leading the challengers is Xiaomi’s recently launched Xiaomi 11i, which comes with a larger 5,000 mAh battery, a 108-megapixel camera and a Dimensity 920 processor. Those willing to spend slightly more will also be tempted by the likes of the Realme GT and the Poco F3 GT, both of which come with Dimensity 1200 chips, and very eye-catching designs. At the end of the day, a lot is going to depend on how well the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G actually performs. It has the looks, but with those specs, needs to deliver more than just a core experience to make it big in the category.

For anyone on a tight budget, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is an obvious choice because it performs well across the board. The screen is great for watching videos, the processor can cope with all sorts of tasks and it has a very long-lasting battery as well as fast charging. What more could you ask for? Granted, to keep the price this low OnePlus has made a few sacrifices like the fact that this phone isn’t completely waterproof, or that it’s made from plastic. It also doesn’t match up to more expensive devices when it comes to its camera, and the refresh rate is lower than elsewhere as well. But in saying that, you won’t ever find a phone this cheap that can do it all, and when you compare it to the competition, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is incredible value for money.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is the most Oppo-like OnePlus phone I’ve personally used. But at £300(€349), it’s hard to fault. It feels fast and responsive in everyday use, its screen is smooth and vibrant, its battery easily lasts over a day, and it charges ridiculously quickly when it runs dry. The big compromises here are the phone’s overall build quality, which verges on feeling a little cheap and plastic-y, and a set of cameras that struggle to take decent shots away from bright daylight. A lot has been written about how OnePlus has moved away from its roots in recent years and is no longer focused on offering flagship smartphones at a fraction of the price of its competitors. But with the Nord CE 2, it feels like it’s returned to this original promise. More than its recent flagships, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 feels like a true continuation of the OnePlus spirit of old. It’s just ironic that it’s done so in a device that feels like an Oppo phone.

If you don't mind the prospect of upgrading your phone in a couple of years, or getting stuck on an outdated Android version, then there's very little to put you off shortlisting the Nord. We love our premium flagship phones here at Tom’s Guide, including the OnePlus 10 Pro, which we can't wait to be made available in the U.S. and U.K. But it's good to ask why we're paying $1,000-and-up prices for flagship phones — devices like the Nord CE 2 help to put things in perspective. We need to spend more time with the OnePlus Nord CE 2, but early on, it feels like one of the best cheap phones I've personally tried. I don't know how long that will last, given that the Redmi Note 11 just launched, and the iPhone SE 3 is looming on the horizon, too. For now, though, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is hoping to make a name for itself, and it seems off to a good start.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a lot of smartphone for £299. The chipset seems powerful, the camera sounds like it’ll be impressive, and the addition of faster charging and microSD support compared to its predecessor makes it far more attractive. We don’t yet know how the Nord CE 2 will work as our everyday phone, but so far it seems impressive, and it may be that this is one of the best phones from 2022 that you can buy for under £300.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a very reasonably priced smartphone that gives those looking for an affordable OnePlus camera phone a viable option. The cameras capture decent photos that are perfect for sharing online but dynamic range and sharpness could be better and those who regularly capture photos with smartphones will probably notice the drop in quality when compared with more expensive devices as well as camera phones at a similar price point. There are some clever tricks built-in, though, such as the way the AI introduces bokeh without clipping and the Night Mode is pretty good, too. As with all OnePlus smartphones, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 offers a user experience that can't be ignored and for that reason, combined with the excellent price, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 will be worth taking a look at even with the few compromises you have to make simply because it's a more affordable smartphone.

Global technology brand OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus Nord CE 2 – a new €349 device that features a 90 Hz AMOLED display, OxygenOS 11 and 5G support. The firm said that CE stands for Core Experience and is really pushing the superfast charging in its marketing drive. The launch comes just weeks after the company’s 2022 flagship device OnePlus 10 Pro went on sale in China. That phone has yet to be launched in Europe but indications are that it will be landing in March. OnePlus Nord CE 2 features a flagship-standard 65W Supervooc fast charger that is actually manufactured by sister company OPPO. The company said that it provides the phone’s 4,500 mAh dual-cell battery with up to a day’s power in just 15 minutes – twice as fast as the original OnePlus Nord CE.

In all, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is shaping up to be another cracking, budget-friendly handset from the Chinese tech giant. Again, it will be released on 10 March, with preorders for the £299 model with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM opening on 3 March. Watch out for our full review in due course, too.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is good update to the original and if you haven't already bought the previous model, I'd say the new one is worth buying. It's basically a lower-priced Oppo Reno 7 without the spammy apps, which is not a bad deal. The Nord CE 2 offers a premium design, good performance, solid battery life, very fast charging, and decent cameras for still photography. Video recording is not its strong suit, but other than that, it's hard to complain. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is by no means perfect and there are a couple of features that are missing, that other phones in this segment do offer. These aren't deal-breakers but would have been nice to have. For instance, if you're looking for an IP rating for dust and water resistance, the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion (Review) is a very good option. On the other hand, if you need good stereo speakers, it would be hard to beat the Realme 9 Pro+ which starts at around Rs. 25,000.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a reasonably well-featured and well-performing phone for the price. It has an attractive design, good display, relatively clean and simple UI with good performance, good main camera quality, decent battery life with fast charging, and even includes a few bells and whistles that have become increasingly rare, such as a headphone jack and expandable storage. The phone is also basically just the Oppo Reno7 5G with different software. While that may have been a valid strategy in the past, with the software between the two companies merging even that one difference wouldn't really be relevant in the future. At which point, why even have the two phones in the same market anymore. Moreover, why should the customer pick one over the other?

At the starting price of Rs. 23,999, the phone actually finds itself surrounded by some stiff competition. Leading the challengers is Xiaomi’s recently launched Xiaomi 11i, which comes with a larger 5,000 mAh battery, a 108-megapixel camera and a Dimensity 920 processor. Those willing to spend slightly more will also be tempted by the likes of the Realme GT and the Poco F3 GT, both of which come with Dimensity 1200 chips, and very eye-catching designs. At the end of the day, a lot is going to depend on how well the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G actually performs. It has the looks, but with those specs, needs to deliver more than just a core experience to make it big in the category.
