With the Nord family, OnePlus has returned to offer smartphones characterized by a really favorable quality / price ratio, and the new Nord CE 5G fully confirms this feature. From the display to the processor up to the main camera group, Nord CE 5G has a very good quality level in general and certainly excellent considering the price of 299 euros for the version with 6 GB of ram and 128 GB of memory, which become 329 for the model. with 8 GB of ram and 128 GB of memory. The 6.43-inch display is in fact of the Amoled type, a feature now taken for granted in high-end models but not in those under 300 euros, and guarantees optimal readability even in full sun thanks to the excellent contrast and brightness.
During the test, the screen turned out to be one of the strengths of the smartphone, which has always proved capable of managing every content in the best possible way, from the most common ones such as web browsing and e-mail and messaging management to apps. multimedia such as those for viewing videos or video games. The presence of a sensor for ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, which turned out to be very fast and precise in the test, also allows to limit the overall size of the smartphone practically to that of the screen, interrupted only by the hole at the top left of the front camera, equipped with a 16 megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor with High Dynamic Range functions for the delight of selfie lovers.
The display is also able to operate at a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which updates the images 90 times per second against the 60 of normal smartphone screens to the advantage of fluidity and viewing comfort. Also in this case the road test confirmed the advantages of this feature, which in the case of the Nord CE 5G also does not significantly affect the overall autonomy of the smartphone, which thanks to the 4,500 mAh capacity battery has proven to hold up well. beyond the finish line of the day even in case of intense use. Furthermore, as per tradition OnePlus, recharging takes place quickly thanks to the 30 Watt power supply, combined with the traditional high amperage red cable, which allows you to recharge the battery up to 70% starting from scratch in 30 minutes.
Performance is guaranteed by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 750G processor, which in addition to exploiting 5G mobile networks has shown that it can manage all applications quickly and without slowing down, and even more apps at the same time, especially in the version with 8 GB of ram. The photographic section instead sees in the rear optical group an ultra-wide-angle camera with 8 megapixel sensor and a mono lens with 2 megapixel sensor for software management of the depth of field combined with the main lens, which can count on a 64 megapixel sensor. with pixel binning and very bright lenses, with aperture f / 1.79.
During the test the main camera was able to capture detailed photographs in all light conditions, not only during the day outdoors but also indoors and in the evening thanks to the Night Scene mode, which proved to be very valid, with detailed images and even when enlarging the image on the display. The software interface of the camera is also very well done, which allows in Pro mode to always have all the parameters useful for creative photos by the most experts in view. The lack of optical stabilization of the lens has never been too evident thanks to the work of the software algorithms, which have managed to compensate in an excellent way also the absence of a telephoto lens up to 2X zoom. L’ in fact, the main objective normally takes photos with a resolution of 16 megapixels, combining the information collected from a matrix of four adjacent pixels, to the advantage of quality, but it is possible to switch to the native resolution of 64 megapixels which thus allows you to highlight details of the inside the frame without losing sharpness. Also very effective is Oxygen OS, the customization of the Android 11 operating system by OnePlus, which offers a rational interface and useful functions in everyday use.
