OnePlus recently introduced a budget-friendly Core Edition of its Nord series just after the OnePlus 9. The new Nord CE 5G just landed in the Pakistani market and is now available in Pakistan via United Mobile, the brand’s official distributor. We have the pricing and features to report.
Starting with performance, the OnePlus Nord CE rocks the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G at its heart. A 4500 mAh battery powers the phone, supported by 30T Warp Charge (OnePlus promises a 70% top-up in just 30 minutes.) The latest OxygenOS 11 runs on this Nord out of the box.
Over the hood, the Nord CE has a sleek, featherweight design. Its shell is 7.9mm thin and weighs only 170g. OnePlus has included a 3.5mm audio jack this year but lopped off the side-mounted alert slider button. The bezel has also been reduced to paper-thin proportions. It comes in Charcoal Ink and Blue Void colorways.
The optics array of the OnePlus's new model is made of three lenses: a 64M f/1.79 wide camera, an 8MP 119° ultrawide camera, and a 2MP Mono sensor. OnePlus Nord CE captures selfies with a 16MP lens and AF portrait features. The app can shoot in AI Scene Detection and Nightscape modes.
Lastly, the display is a stunning OLED. We’re looking at a 6.43” screen that fills a 20:9 aspect ratio and delivers a crisp 1080P resolution. When scrolling, gaming, or streaming, the Nord CE kicks the refresh rate up to a smooth 90Hz. A hole is punched through the panel to house the selfie camera, and a hidden fingerprint scanner lies underneath it.
You can pick from 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB memory/storage options. The base edition starts from Rs. 64,999, while the top-end Nord CE is priced at Rs. 78,999.
