After the release of the first-generation OnePlus Nord, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G (a.k.a. OnePlus Nord Core Edition 5G) serves as a hint of OnePlus’s plans for a follow-up of its low-budget smartphone line, as well as some sequels. This device comes with a package that isn’t too dissimilar to what we got on the first-gen model.
The design of the OnePlus Nord series is somewhat similar to that of the OnePlus One. All of the smartphones that have been released so far have a function that is similar.
Before we go into the aesthetics, you should know that this device is made out of the glass on the front, plastic on the back, and plastic upfront.
The OnePlus Nord CE 5G, it turns out, falls into this category as well, with a design language that has remained a stalemate thus far.
We have a layout on the back that is similar to what we had on the first-generation Nord. We have a vertical array of three cameras, as opposed to four on the predecessor, as well as an LED flash and the OnePlus symbol, indicating that this is a OnePlus smartphone.
We’ve drawn up a frontal image of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G that looks similar to the OnePlus Nord N10 5G and the Nord N100. In the top-right corner, there’s a display and a punch-hole camera.
However, there is a difference in display size between the two; the Nord CE 5G display is smaller than both of the aforementioned. We’ve got a 6.43-inch AMOLED display here. This display has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a density of around 410 PPI, and a refresh rate of 90Hz.
