Verdict

The OnePlus Nord CE3 5G is a capable device at what it does. It delivers a good combination of hardware and bloat-free software, resulting in a smooth user experience. However, the only niggle is that upon comparing it with the competition, the OnePlus Nord CE3 5G doesn`t seem to have any standout feature worth shouting about.

    Pros

  • Lovely screen
  • Acceptable performance
  • Day-long battery life
  • Decent cameras

    Cons

  • Lowlight photography could have been better
  • Plastic build
  • No alert slider
Design and display +

Despite its affordable price point, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G rivals the sleek appearance of the pricier OnePlus Nord 3 5G. The new handset boasts a rather compact form factor with flat edges, making it quite ergonomic for everyday use. Furthermore, the handset sports dual camera rings, as well as an LED flash, around the back. On the bottom edge, you'll find a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, and a SIM tray. The top edge houses an IR Blaster, while the right side features a volume rocker and power button for easy access.

The camera performance of the OnePlus Nord CE3 5G closely matches that of the OnePlus Nord 3 5G. This smartphone boasts a triple rear camera setup, featuring a 50MP OIS Sony IMX890 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor. In daylight conditions, the primary sensor captures 12.5MP images with impressive details and well-saturated colours. However, there is a slight issue with the dynamic range, which can result in slightly blown-out areas and fewer details in shadows. Nevertheless, the overall image quality remains quite acceptable.

Performance and software +

Coming to performance, the OnePlus Nord CE3 5G is powered by Qualcomm's mid-range Snapdragon 782G SoC under the hood. The chipset contributes to the handset's decent performance on benchmarking sites, with scores of 643,348 on AnTuTu v10 and 1,118 and 2,767 on Geekbench's single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. However, during the CPU Throttle test, the handset throttles to 76 percent of its peak performance and gets a bit warm while handling 50 threads for a duration of 30 minutes.

Battery and charging speeds +

The OnePlus Nord CE3 5G houses a 5,000mAh battery, capable of comfortably lasting a full day. The device achieved a score of 14 hours and 23 minutes on the PCMark battery test. In my usage, which encompassed activities like browsing, scrolling through social media apps, gaming, and streaming movies and TV shows, I consistently attained nearly 6 hours of screen-on time.
