OnePlus has announced a new addition to its lineup of midrange phones, the Nord CE. According to the company, the \u201cCE\u201d stands for \u201cCore Edition,\u201d an indication that the company is focusing on the fundamentals, rather than inflating the device\u2019s spec sheet with unnecessary extras. The phone is launching in Europe and India, and there are no plans for a US release.<\/p>\n
What this focus on the fundamentals means in practice is that the Nord CE is slightly stripped down compared to last year\u2019s Nord, but it\u2019s slightly higher-specced than its predecessor, too. So you\u2019re getting a higher-resolution 64-megapixel main camera (up from 48 megapixels), but there are only three rear sensors in total. (There\u2019s also an 8-megapixel ultrawide with a 119-degree field of view and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor.) The Nord CE also only has a single 16-megapixel selfie camera, with no secondary ultrawide like the original Nord. <\/p>\n
Internally, there\u2019s a Snapdragon 750G powering this year\u2019s model, compared to the 765G in last year\u2019s phone. OnePlus claims its CPU is 20 percent faster, while its GPU is 10 percent faster. That\u2019s paired with a choice of 6, 8, or 12GB of RAM, although these options vary slightly based on region. There\u2019s a 4,500mAh battery inside the Nord CE, up from 4,115mAh last year, and the phone supports Warp Charge 30T Plus fast charging, which OnePlus says should charge you from 0 to 70 percent in half an hour.<\/p>\n
Externally, the Nord CE looks very similar to its predecessor. It\u2019s got a very similarly styled camera bump on the back left (though with three rather than four cameras) and a hole-punch for its selfie camera on the front of the phone (again, with one rather than two cameras). However, on the bottom of the phone, you\u2019ll find a headphone jack, which was missing from last year\u2019s device. In terms of display, the Nord CE comes with a 6.43-inch 90Hz 1080p OLED panel. The phone is available in blue, black, or silver. <\/p>\n
The Nord CE will be available to preorder in limited quantities from OnePlus itself starting today in the UK, and these devices will ship on June 14th. The device goes on general sale on June 21st. In the UK, it starts at \u00a3299 (\u20ac329) for the model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and \u00a3369 (\u20ac399) for the model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. In Europe, there\u2019s a version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which will retail for \u20ac299. Those prices are slightly cheaper than the original Nord, which started at \u00a3379 (\u20ac399) for its 8GB model.<\/p>\n
Like the original Nord, OnePlus says it doesn\u2019t have plans to release the Nord CE in the US. Instead, the US has the OnePlus Nord N200 5G to look forward to. It\u2019s a successor to the N100 that OnePlus CEO Pete Lau recently confirmed will retail for under $250.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
