OnePlus Nord CE 2

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is a great affordable mid-range phone with only a few problems. The biggest is that OnePlus isn’t very committed to software updates, which means that the phone will probably stop getting updates by the end of next year.

OnePlus’ latest affordable handset offers 65W fast charging, a fast refresh rate display, and long battery life. And it does so at a fraction of the cost of most flagship phones.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 doesn’t exactly rip up the rulebook with its familiar display, design, and camera system. However, solid lower- mid-range performance, dependably classy software, and rapid charging make for another accomplished all-rounder.
