OnePlus Nord CE 5G Review

Android Authority

The OnePlus Nord CE doesn’t quite hit the mark of distilling the “core” OnePlus experience. The hardware is underbaked, the design is forgettable, and the software experience — while good — can’t justify the phone’s existence when the older OnePlus Nord offers all of this and more. It might be an okay phone in a silo, but the ample competition makes the OnePlus Nord CE hard to recommend.

The good

  • Adequate performance
  • All-day battery life
  • Speedy 30W charging

The Bad
