OnePlus Nord CE 2 Review

The highlight of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 is the charging time of the 4,500 mAh battery. 100 percent of rated capacity is available again after just 37 minutes. After 30 minutes it is already a strong 95 percent.

After this very fast charging time, the Nord CE 2 runs for a very good 12:32 hours in our demanding endurance test. The screen is set to a brightness of 200 cd/m² at 60 Hz. In daily use, the battery should easily last more than a full day, with moderate use of TikTok and co. Because in addition to games, the well-known social networking applications in particular take their toll. The scope of delivery also includes the appropriate fast-charging power supply. The only drawback: the OnePlus Nord CE 2 does not offer wireless charging. All in all, we still really like the drums.

In general, this makes for satisfactory performance. The smartphone takes around 4 seconds to load our complex test PDF: the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is not up to the level of high-end devices, but it offers adequate performance for everyday use. This is also noticeable in the graphics performance benchmark (GFX-Bench), in which the smartphone reaches 23 fps. The best models reach around 70 fps. However, the performance is easily enough for most mobile phone games.
