OnePlus Nord CE 5G, as the name implies, supports work in networks of the fifth generation and hides under the "hood" a rather powerful Snapdragon 750G processor in conjunction with 8...GB of RAM. Built-in memory is also enough — 128 GB, although there is also a version with 256 GB for those who do not have enough of this volume, because there is no slot for a memory card.

The front is a 6.43-inch colorful AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels and a picture refresh rate of 90 Hz. It is framed by small bezels, the fingerprint scanner is integrated into the display, and there is a neat circular cutout for the 16-megapixel front camera. The triple main camera includes a 64-megapixel sensor, 8 MP "wide" and an additional 2 MP lens — they decided to abandon the macro camera (but no one was upset), and the telephoto lens for this price category is not yet allowed. But, fortunately, they did not forget about NFC for contactless payments and a 3.5 mm jack for wired headphones. |
