The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G features a 6.43-inch FHD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The display features a punch hole on the left side, and the device also has an optical fingerprint sensor built into the display.
As previously stated, the phone is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 900 5G SoC with 6/8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G comes with an Android 11 operating system with a unique OxygenOS 11 overlay on top.
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G will receive an Android 12 upgrade with OxygenOS 12 skin in the second half of 2022, according to the manufacturer.
The manufacturer has also stated that the gadget would receive two years of Android upgrades, making the Nord CE 2 5G OS upgradeable to Android 13.
The triple camera setup on the back has a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, there is also a 16MP selfie camera. The primary camera, according to OnePlus, features a huge f/1.7 aperture, which should boost low-light and portrait photography.
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is powered by a 4,500 mAh battery and equipped with such a 65W SUPERVOOC fast charger that can charge the device entirely in 32 minutes. There really is no IP certification or wireless charging, which are most likely reserved for OnePlus’ high-end products.
