OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G – First Impressions

Gone are the days when the month of February was celebrated as a month of love, as this year it’s undoubtedly going to be a month of smartphones as several top players from the smartphone industry are in the pipeline to launch their newbies in the market. 

Earlier in the month, we witnessed a launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series & Galaxy Tab S8 Series at the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event, and today, another smartphone tycoon, OnePlus, launched their Nord CE 2 5G in India during a virtual event.

Alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, the company also launched two smart TVs – Y1S and Y1S Edge in India, which comes under a company’s affordable Y-Series smart TV lineup. The company claims that the new TVs will bring a more “accessible connected ecosystem experience” across different screen sizes at an affordable price point.

First Impressions:

The OnePlus Nord 2 exactly looks like its elder sibling Nord CE 1, but when you turn it around, it seems poles apart as it features an all-different camera alignment, though both the smartphones are pretty sleek and stylish. The new Nord features an AI triple camera setup, where the primary camera has a 64-megapixel lens, the secondary camera has an ultrawide 8-megapixel lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens.

The company unveiled the smartphone on the OnePlus India YouTube channel and the company’s website. Design-wise, the smartphone looks premium, and has the power to hold your attention. It comes with Android 11 out of the box and sports a 6.43-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz, HDR 10+ support, and Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The handset comes with a 16-megapixel selfie camera on the front, which provides you with a prospect to shoot videos in 1080p@30fps. The 5G-ready smartphone boasts a MediaTek Dimensity 900 Octacore Chipset and 65W SuperVOOC fast Charging, which will fill the smartphone in mere 30 minutes.

The new Nord comes with two variants, 6GB/8GB of RAM, both in 128 GB of storage, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro SD slot that supports up to 1TB. The smartphone runs on Oxygen OS, and it will be available in two colours – Bahama Blue and Gray Mirror. The base variant of the smartphone is priced at ₹23,999, while the 8GB variant is priced at ₹24,999.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G Specs Leaked Ahead Of Its India Launch

Last year, OnePlus added a new lineup of phones by launching the OnePlus Nord in the market, and this year they’re coming with another Nord sibling, the OnePlus Nord CE (Core Edition), which is set to launch in India on 10th June and will be available for sale on Amazon once released. It is expected to be the company’s cheapest 5G phone in the country yet and will have additional features compared to OnePlus Nord.

According to the leaks, the Nord CE will arrive with the Snapdragon 750G chipset and a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel. The phone will feature a 64MP primary camera, a 16MP camera at the front, and a 90Hz refresh rate, twinning to the one already on the OnePlus Nord. The leaked features directly point out the OnePlus’ strategy to compete with the recently launched Mi 10i and Samsung’s Galaxy A52 5G; both of these devices also come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor.

Furthermore, the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 5G smartphone will fall in a similar pricing category as the Mi 10i and Samsung’s Galaxy A52 5G to give them healthy competition in the market. So, we can expect the phone to be priced between the range of 20k-25k, which will ultimately make the OnePlus experience more accessible than ever.

As the name suggests, the OnePlus Nord Core Edition 5G will go down deep to the core to provide you with a wholesome experience, and the phone will surely deliver all the features you would expect from a OnePlus flagship smartphone. The upcoming Nord CE 5G has already been listed on the Amazon India website with the notify me option; if you’re interested in buying one, you better click the option to get notified once the phone comes in stock.
