As part of a special summer presentation, OnePlus introduced the new Nord CE (Core Edition) smartphone. It is important to note that this is only an updated version of last year’s Nord, not the full second generation. Therefore, in some points the device has become better, and on something the manufacturer has clearly saved to reduce the final price.
OnePlus Nord CE has a 6.43-inch Fluid AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Support for the Always-on Display function is also in. The company places great emphasis on the small thickness of the device – only 7.9 mm. OnePlus has also returned a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The smartphone has a Snapdragon 750G processor, whereas the OnePlus Nord has a Snapdragon 765G. But the battery capacity increased from 4115 to 4500 mAh. And support for Warp Charge 30T Plus fast charging technology allows you to replenish 70% of the energy in 30 minutes.
The main camera consists of three modules instead of four in the original Nord, but the resolution of the main sensor rose to 64 megapixels. The other two are an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with a viewing angle of 119 degrees and a monochrome sensor with a resolution of only 2 megapixels.

Does OnePlus Nord CE worth buying
I haven’t yet held this phone in my hands, so I can’t say anything about its use. However, everything looks very tasty on paper, so at the very least I would add this phone to my short list of purchases, especially if you want to buy an inexpensive phone with good enough specs.
For the money you pay it looks like a good option, so I suggest you look into it.
