OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G offers brilliant fast-charging, and a very good screen, but does the rest of the phone match up?

Incredible fast-charging capability ; Good screen ; Decent camera

Plasticky rear panel ; Middling performance

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G offers brilliant fast-charging, and a very good screen. The performance and cameras are decent without being exceptional, so it’s still an all-round package that’s well worth your consideration.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 review

Mid-ranger that's more than the sum of its parts

Fast charging ; Slim and light body ; Elegant, restrained UI

Middling performance ; So-so camera ; Not much of an advance from the Nord CE

OnePlus Nord CE 2 review: this smartphone is both cheap and charming

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 gives you everything you really need from a phone, without the eye-watering price

Excellent 6.43-inch FHD+ display ; Long battery life and fast charging ; Slim and compact design

Average camera ; Not waterproof ; Made from plastic

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a cheap phone with a good screen, decent performance and a long-lasting battery. You'll lose out slightly on the camera system and the build quality but you still get a lot for your money.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 review: Strong core?

Does the second-gen 'Core Edition' have enough core features to stand out?

Bright and vivid display ; Great battery life ; Transparent camera hump is a nice touch ; Affordable

Lots of competition ; Cameras could be better ; Glossy plastic attracts fingerprints ; Looks more Oppo/Realme than OnePlus

For its price, the second-gen Nord CE 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. And all for a very fair price indeed.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 review

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 flips the script: good hardware holds its own against rivals, but the company's once strength in software is now its weak point.

Attractive design ; AMOLED display ; Strong main camera ; Headphone jack

Average performance ; Ships with Android 11

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is an impressive affordable mid-ranger, with only a few flaws - though the biggest is OnePlus’s lacklustre commitment to software updates, which will likely see the phone out of updates by the end of next year.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Review Philippines: Raw, Untapped Potential

We review the OnePlus Nord CE 2 in the Philippines and see if it's a compelling phone at the under Php 20k price segment.

Proven processor ; The MicroSD card slot, headphone jack are back

Software needs optimization ; Average camera performance

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G review: Entry phone may be too good

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is a great gateway into the world of OnePlus phones, but the question is, will you ever want to upgrade when it's this comprehensive?

Great, eye-catching design Battery charges in 30 minutes Two days use from the battery Headphone jack on board Dual 5G SIM and microSD card slot

Android 11 isn't the latest version No IP rating Poor single speaker

“The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G's outstanding design houses a dependable smartphone with excellent battery life and fast charging -- and it all comes at a reasonable price.”

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Review

Reviewing budget phones is tricky, especially when you're spoiled by 100x zoom flagships with 120Hz displays and chipsets that can launch the next SpaceX rocket and land it with no problems...

Great display ; Surprisingly snappy performance ; Ample battery ; Super fast charging ; SD card slot ; 3.5mm audio jack ; The price ; 5G connectivity

Plasticky build ; Mediocre camera ; No IP rating ; No wireless charging
