OnePlus hits the Market with OnePlus Nord CE 5G and OnePlus TV U Series

After teasing on social media for a few weeks, OnePlus officially took the wraps off its new smartphone OnePlus Nord CE 5G and OnePlus TV U Series. The company launched a total of three products, including one accessory at its Summer Launch Event held online due to the ongoing pandemic.

The launch event started with Pete Lau, OnePlus CEO and Co-founder, briefing us about the impact of Covid-19, especially in India. He emphasized that nothing is more important than the safety of our loved ones.

OnePlus launched the OnePlus Nord last year in 2020 and it has been a successful and one of the best-selling smartphones on Amazon. And the new OnePlus Nord CE 5G aims to continue that legacy. So, let’s talk about the new OnePlus smartphone below:

OnePlus Nord CE 5G

The new OnePlus Nord CE 5G comes with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The display has all the features available on the original Nord i.e., ambient display, always-on feature, reading mode, and more.

OnePlus has made the Nord CE 5G a little lighter and thinner. Unlike the original OnePlus Nord, the new Nord CE 5G is only 170g and 7.9mm thickness. Many users and tech enthusiasts missed the 3.5mm headphone jack in the OnePlus Nord. The Chinese maker has brought it back with the OnePlus Nord CE 5G.

The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 750G processor and comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. One of the best things about OnePlus Nord CE 5G is that it comes with dual SIM slots, unlike its previous smartphones.

 All that is backed up with a slightly larger 4,500mAh battery coupled with Warp Charge 30T Plus that takes the same time to charge the smartphone like the original Nord. So, you shall be able to juice up your smartphone from 0-70% in 30 minutes (OnePlus claim).

When it comes to optics, the smartphone sports a triple camera setup with a 64MP primary camera along with an 8MP ultra-wide (EIS), and 2MP monochrome lens. For your selfie needs, you have a 16MP camera at the front with EIS support. All other features remain the same, which means you all the sensors, NFC, etc. However, OnePlus has cut the alert slider button on the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, which is a bummer.

The smartphone comes in three colors: Charcoal ink, Blue void, and silver Ray. There are three variants of the smartphone:

Pricing Details

  • 6/128GB – Rs 22,999
  • 8/128GB – Rs 24,999
  • 12/256GB – Rs 27,999

You can pre-order OnePlus Nord CE 5G starting tomorrow from Amazon.in at 12 PM or directly from the OnePlus website.

All in all, OnePlus Nord CE 5G is essentially the same as the original OnePlus Nord with a few additions in the camera, design, headphone jack, slightly bigger battery. However, there are some cut downs as well in terms of processor and the alert slider button (for OnePlus lovers).
