OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G 8GB RAM Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.0/10
Verdict
The Nord CE 2 5G is well designed, looks good and scores high in aspects like battery life and UI. That said, hardcore gamers might find it lacking in the performance department, and the cameras could do with some improvements as well. The lack of stereo speakers is also disappointing. It does have a 3.5mm headset socket and even a memory expansion slot that you can use without foregoing dual-SIM functionality though.
Pros
- Nice looks & good build
- Clean UI sans bloatware
- Capable primary camera
- Good battery life and fast 65W charging
Cons
- Performance can't match rivals
- Misses out on stereo speakers
- Low-light camera performance could be better
- No Android 12
