OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

“For less than 400 Euros you get a triple-camera, a 3.5-mm headphone jack, extremely fast charging, and good battery life thanks to its 6 nm MediaTek SoC. With that said we do have to admit that its performance is lacking compared to its Qualcomm-equipped competitors.”

“Rapid charging and a decent main camera can't hide the fact that the Nord CE 2 is another uninspired budget smartphone from OnePlus amongst a sea of better alternatives.”

“For its price, the second-gen Nord CE is a solid offering. It might not be the most exciting phone on the market, but it gets the job done without any serious compromises. And all for a very fair price indeed.”

“The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G offers good competence in all the key areas, and pulls away from the rest of the best cheap phones when it comes to fast-charging. If you’re looking for the best gaming performance you can get for your money, or even the best camera results, then you’d be best advised to keep looking, the iPhone SE 2 and the Poco F3 are good potential alternatives. However, if a reliable all-rounder is what you’re in the market for, then this one’s a solid bet.”
