OnePlus Nord CE 5G 256GB Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

3.5/5

Kshitij Pujari
by  Kshitij Pujari , 14 Jun 2021

Verdict

OnePlus Nord CE tries to make a mark as a more affordable version of the original Nord and succeeds too. However, strong competition in the Rs 20,000 - Rs 25,000 segment puts doubts on the Nord CE s cost-to-benefit ratio. The camera capability and performance aren t really amazing, casting a bit of a shadow on this otherwise sound device.

    Pros

  • Great display
  • Premium design
  • Nice software experience

    Cons

  • Cameras are not up to the mark
  • No alert slider
  • Speakers are quite tinny
