The model is a representative of the Nord series, which contains all non-flagship OnePlus smartphones — from low-cost to more expensive from the middle price segment. The gadget has come close to devices of the highest rank, although the manufacturer still had to make some compromises for the sake of an attractive price tag. The case is made of plastic, but at the same time, the device looks very similar to the top models of the manufacturer. In addition, it is as thin and light as possible, as far as the “hardware” and the screen size allow: the dimensions are 159.2x73.5x7.9 mm, and the weight is only 170 g. OnePlus Nord CE 5G, as the name implies, supports work in networks of the fifth generation and hides under the "hood" a rather powerful Snapdragon 750G processor in conjunction with 8...GB of RAM. Built-in memory is also enough — 128 GB, although there is also a version with 256 GB for those who do not have enough of this volume, because there is no slot for a memory card. Inside, there is a 4500 mAh battery with support for 30 W fast charging, which charges the battery up to 70% in just 30 minutes. The front is a 6.43-inch colorful AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels and a picture refresh rate of 90 Hz. It is framed by small bezels, the fingerprint scanner is integrated into the display, and there is a neat circular cutout for the 16-megapixel front camera. The triple main camera includes a 64-megapixel sensor, 8 MP "wide" and an additional 2 MP lens — they decided to abandon the macro camera (but no one was upset), and the telephoto lens for this price category is not yet allowed. But, fortunately, they did not forget about NFC for contactless payments and a 3.5 mm jack for wired headphones.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

The “Basic Edition” of the smartphone with a Nordic character, OnePlus Nord CE 5G, is a mid-range handsome man with decent equipment, assembled in a thin and light plastic case in the style of the manufacturer’s top models.

AMOLED panel

The AMOLED screen of the mobile gadget captivates with maximum contrast and deep blacks. It also has an adaptive refresh rate of 90Hz. The display of the smartphone is framed by thin frames, a fingerprint scanner is integrated directly into it. Under the lens of 16 MP selfie cameras, a neat round cutout was made in the screen. From the rear, the model is equipped with a triple main camera consisting of a 64 MP main sensor, 8 MP wide and 2 MP auxiliary module. In the DxOMark rankings, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G camera holds a high bar with a final score of "102 points".

Performant bundle

The smartphone is powered by a performant “iron” combination of an octa-core Snapdragon 750G processor with a 5G modem, Adreno 619 graphics and 8/128 GB of memory. The device lacks only a memory expansion slot, but this is not a problem, since there is a 256 GB version of the model on the market. As an operating system, the smartphone runs under Android 11, on top of which the proprietary shell of the manufacturer Oxygen OS 11 is installed.

A good medium-level smartphone

The energy core of the smartphone is represented by a 4500 mAh battery with Warp Charge fast charging function. In just half an hour, a discharged battery runs up to 70% charge when using the included 30-watt power adapter. Also, they did not forget about pleasant little things in the manner of an NFC chip and a headphone jack. In terms of the combination of characteristics, the model confidently pulls for the title of a good medium-level smartphone.
