The OnePlus Nord Core Edition (CE) 5G is exactly what its name suggests. It’s a mid-range Nord device that offers all the core features you’d want from a phone in this price range. It packs a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that refreshes at 90Hz and offers Always-on display capabilities, the 5G-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chip that offers optimal performance for daily use, up to 12GB of RAM so you can multitask with ease, and up to 256GB of storage so that you can install as many games or click as many photos as your want.

On the camera front, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G features a respectable triple camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64MP f/1.79 main camera, an 8MP f/2.25 wide-angle camera with a 119° FoV, and a 2MP monochrome camera to aid with portrait shots. Over on the front, it has a 16MP selfie shooter. While the phone may seem like a typical mid-ranger so far, it does feature a couple of extras that you won’t find on most other devices in this price range. These include a 3.5mm headphone jack, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and SA/NSA 5G capabilities. The phone is backed by a 4,500mAh battery that supports OnePlus’ Warp Charge 30T Plus fast charging technology.

Another factor that gives the OnePlus Nord CE 5G an edge over other similarly priced devices is its software. The phone runs OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box, which delivers a fast and smooth, bloatware-free experience. That’s hard to come by on competitors from Xiaomi and Realme, and it will probably be one of the main factors influencing buyer decision. If you’re thinking of getting the phone, stay tuned for our review to know if it’s actually better than its competitors or not.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G will be available in three colorways — Blue Void, Charcoal Ink, and Silver Ray. It will go on sale via OnePlus’ website and Amazon.in starting from June 16.
