OnePlus Nord CE 5G: Buy or Skip? | Cell Guru By NDTV

And now, let's move on to our top story, our review of the OnePlus word CE 5g CE, as in core edition. Now it's priced at about 22 999, that's the starter price! It's got a plastic bag very striking, blue and purple color, so looks very, very premium: snapdragon 750g oxygen, OS 11, triple rear camera, 90 hertz screen refresh rate, so it's got a lot of going for it, but it is coming in at a time when there's a lot of competition, the original nod when it came in pretty much swept the market at that price point everybody wanted it. But now this nod comes in with a lot of competition. So this week we're going to take a look at the word CE 5g next week. We'll actually compare it to a lot of other phones. It is not often that a brand pulls off a blockbuster move with its first experiment in a new price segment, but OnePlus managed just that with last year's OnePlus knot.

The original OnePlus not has long been at the top of our list of phones to recommend in the sub 25000 segments. It provided a seamless, OnePlus experience with little compromises in hardware while sticking to a budget exactly what consumers want now OnePlus is exploring a whole new price segment with its even more affordable word CE 5g, let's find out if word's core edition gets our flattery or flak in sell guru's review. Let's address the elephant in the room. First OnePlus has made very obvious compromises to achieve the word CE's 22 999 rupees price tag holding up the phone. The first thing we noticed is the plastic bag on the new word CE, while the matte black shines and shimmers in shades of blue and purple there's a distinct lack of finesse.

It is, however, ergonomically sound and the rounded edges matte finish and light.170 gram make the CE a comfortable phone to hold for long hours. Despite being a budget phone, the OnePlus not includes an in-display fingerprint scanner and a rather good one too. It was consistently quick to unlock the phone, but there are bigger omissions that let the phone down first up is the missing alert, slider a hallmark one plus feature that has been a staple on all their phones and truly sets the series apart. Additionally, gorilla glass protection is also nowhere to be found, even though there is a dragon tail glass on top. It lacks the same level of protection on the front is a standard 6.43 inch, full HD, plus AMOLED display, which looks great. The screen has good color contrast and vibrancy.

You will even get 90 hertz, refresh rate support on board which isn't bad at all. However, the competition is pushing the envelope to 120 hertz, even on a budget and OnePlus new node feels old here inside the ce5g is the Qualcomm snapdragon 750 g processor, despite the lower numbering, there's no major difference between the performance here and on the OnePlus word's snapdragon 765g. The chipset here gains a bit more CPU power in exchange for GPU grunt over the testing period. The phone did not slack at any given task and kept the performance smooth. We even enjoyed gaming on the device; there were no noticeable frame drops, and nor did it heat up in our time with it.

We got the 12 GB variant for review, but there are 6gb and 8gb configurations too in the market. The OnePlus word CE includes 5g support, as the name suggests, but this is restricted to just a single band in India. Now imaging has never been a strong suit of OnePlus, and this statement doesn't change with the not ce5g the OnePlus. Not ce5g has a 64 megapixel primary camera and 8 megapixel ultra-wide and a 2 megapixel depth. Sensor.

Pictures from the primary camera have details and colors that are fairly true to life. The ultrawide shots, however, leaf much to be desired and there is a significant boost up in saturation. Portraits are not that great and the lack of softness and accuracy in object. Detection is questionable. The low light shots, however, past the average score.

The 16 megapixel front, camera clicks good, looking portraits and great enough selfies to keep your social media presence happy. One of the major highlights of an OnePlus phone is its software with oxygen OS 11 on android 11. The phone stands out with its clean UI and no bloatware. The company is promising two years of support too. Moving on to the battery life, the word CE 5g packs in a 4500 my unit, it lasted us a day of full use.

There is 30 watt fast charging support that takes about 40 minutes to charge the phone and yes, the charger comes in the box. The cell guru verdict the OnePlus, not ce5g, gets almost everything right, but annoyingly still leaves us wanting more.
