OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Launch in India

OnePlus today announced the introduction of its latest mid-range smartphone, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, in India, amid considerable enthusiasm. In addition to a new chipset, a 64-megapixel triple camera configuration, an Oxygen OS near-stock Android version, and rapid charging capabilities, the newest edition to the Nord series comes at a competitive price. Let’s take a look at all the other features to know what it has got for the users.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Price in India

OnePlus Nord CE 2 price in India is Rs. 18,999. This is the latest OnePlus Nord CE 2 price as of May 15, 2023. This is for the 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

In addition, the phone is available in an 8GB/128GB storage variant for Rs 24,999. Amazon, the OnePlus website, and other retail partners will be selling the new OnePlus smartphone. Gray Mirror and Bahama Blue are the two colour choices for the phone.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Design

In comparison to the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 looks a little more luxurious. That’s because its design is very similar to that of the Oppo Reno7. In addition to the Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which is used for both the display and the back panel, the device has a plastic frame. Because of the glossy finish, fingerprints are a huge problem.

CE models still lack the trademark OnePlus alert slider, but the headphone jack has been retained. Additionally, there is a USB Type-C port and a single speaker on the bottom.

Using the phone is a pleasure because it has a good grip and appears to be well built. Since it’s small (173g) and lightweight, it’s easy to hold and operate.

They seem strikingly the same when you compare the OnePlus Nord CE 2 and an Oppo Reno7. When it comes to dimensions and weight, they’re almost exactly the same. As far as back-facing camera modules go, they are almost similar, with identical slots for the sensors and LED flashes. Since OnePlus is now a part of the Oppo family, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Display

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 retains its 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz, but it has been upgraded to HDR10+ certification. In addition to the large bezels around the screen, the display has a thick chin.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Performance

While the Nord CE 2’s specifications have improved, the Oppo Reno7‘s similarities to the OnePlus Nord CE 2 remain. The MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC powers it. In spite of this, we are pleased to see coverage for eight 5G bands in India, compared to only one with the Nord CE, rather than just one. 

There is 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Additionally, a dedicated microSD card allows for additional storage on the OnePlus Nord CE 2.

In terms of performance, the OnePlus Nord CE was never a problem, and it isn’t much worse with the CE 2. In terms of software, OxygenOS 11.3 is pre-installed.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Camera

The OnePlus Nord CE 2’s cameras are the same as those of the previous model. Back cameras include a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. A 16-megapixel front-facing camera rounds out the package. Changes to the camera software have brought it in line with what we’ve seen on Oppo devices.

Also included is Oppo’s Bokeh Flare Portrait filter, however it’s only available in 720p resolution on the Nord CE 2.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Battery

In terms of battery capacity, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 has a 4,500mAh capacity, however the 65W SuperVOOC charger allows you to charge it much faster than the Nord CE. Instead of using the Warp Charge moniker, OnePlus has opted to use Oppo’s branding entirely.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Verdict

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is an excellent improvement to the predecessor, and if you haven’t already purchased the prior model, we would recommend upgrading to the new one. A cheaper Oppo Reno7 without the bloatware is what you get here, and it’s not a terrible value.
