The screen has a 20:9 aspect ratio and a high refresh rate of 120Hz. It can reach a peak brightness of up to 2,100 nits, which helps in bright lighting conditions, but it may still be difficult to view under direct sunlight. The display includes the Aqua Touch feature, allowing it to register touch inputs even when fingers are wet. However, the screen does not support HDR content, limiting the quality of streaming on OTT apps. The phone also has an in-display fingerprint sensor, but it may have issues with accuracy, potentially needing a software update to improve performance. The screen-to-body ratio is approximately 87.2%, making for a large viewing area suitable for multimedia content, but primarily indoors. Cameras The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite features a dual rear camera setup. The primary camera is a 50-megapixel shooter with a Sony LYT-600 sensor and an f/1.8 aperture. It also includes a 2-megapixel depth sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. Its front camera features 16 megapixels (f/2.4) censor, suitable for daytime selfies, but less effective in low light.  Read more: Tecno Camon 30 Pro Review: Style Meets Substance The primary camera supports both optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS), capturing clear images during the day, though details may be lacking when zoomed in. The camera app offers a 2x in-sensor zoom mode for close subjects, but detail is still limited when zooming in. The phone includes a Night mode for low-light conditions, which needs to be manually enabled. Night mode improves visibility and detail but adds noticeable smoothening and can make the sky appear brighter than it is. Video recording is available up to 1080p at 30fps with both rear and front cameras, with OIS and EIS support on the rear camera. Performance The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite uses the Snapdragon 695 6nm chipset, offering performance comparable to competitors with the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset.

OnePlus’s Nord series offers performance-oriented phones that are good for gaming and other regular tasks. The latest edition of this series, the Nord CE4 debuted this April. The phone has come with new updates like a better processor, more powerful battery, and faster charging capacity compared to its predecessor Nord CE3. Let’s dive deeper into the specifications, pros, cons, and price of the OnePlus Nord CE4 in Bangladesh. Key Features of the OnePlus Nord CE4 Design The OnePlus Nord CE4 introduces a unique design, previously expected from the higher-end Nord CE4. It maintains a 162.5 mm by 75.3 mm by 8.4 mm dimensional body with a distinctive marble-like texture and a glossy polycarbonate rear panel. Its 186g of weight places it within a not-so-light and not-so-heavy category.  Its rear cameras, housed in a transparent, capsule-shaped module, give the impression of being placed in a water droplet. The device features curved edges on the back and flat, beveled edges on the polycarbonate frame. It gives a blend of aesthetics and ergonomics.  The Nord CE4 also boasts an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring basic protection against splashes. Enhancing its usability, it includes AquaTouch technology for screen functionality with damp fingers.

It features a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 1100 nits.

Read more: Walton Walpad 10H Pro Review: Budget-friendly Tablet with Decent Performance Cameras The OnePlus Nord CE4 features a dual-camera system with a 50MP (f/1.8) Sony LYT600 primary sensor. It includes optical image stabilization (OIS), and an 8MP (f/2.2) Sony IMX355 ultra-wide-angle lens.  The primary camera captures vibrant, detailed shots in daylight and performs decently in low-light conditions, although it struggles with lens flare and exposure in bright scenes. The ultra-wide lens delivers pleasing images, though color consistency can vary compared to the primary sensor.  While the camera setup lacks a telephoto lens, it offers up to 20x digital zoom, with best results up to 2x zoom. The front camera is a 16MP (f/2.4) shooter, adequate for selfies.  Read more: Meizu 20 Review: A Solid Performer in the Mid-range Segment The rear shooter of the device supports a maximum of 4K video recording at 30fps. It can also capture 1080p footage at 30fps, 60fps, and 120fps. It features gyro-EIS and OIS. While the front shooter can capture 1080 pixels of video at 30FPS only. However, the camera app can be laggy, and focusing in Portrait mode is sometimes unreliable.  Performance The OnePlus Nord CE4 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 4nm SoC, built on a 4nm process for enhanced power efficiency and performance. It runs on ColorOS 14 on top of Android 14. Paired with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of UFS3.1 storage, it delivers smooth multitasking and handles demanding games like BGMI and Call of Duty without issues.  Read more: Symphony Innova 20 Review: An Affordable Phone with Smart Features The hybrid SIM slot allows for dual SIMs or a SIM and microSD card, supporting up to 1TB of additional storage.  The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, also found in the pricier Motorola Edge 50 Pro, ensures robust performance.

OnePlus Technology, the subsidiary of OPPO, has steadily expanded to include midrange and budget devices in its product line. The Nord CE series were the perfect mid-range with the Lite being their budget offering. This year, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G was released on April 11 2023 in China with a subsequent global release. The CE 3 Lite successes the CE 2 Lite with some interesting developments. Let’s have a look.  Key Features of OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite  Design and Build Quality  The OnePlus Nord CE 3 is a through-and-through budget device. The build material may reflect on that but rest assured, the CE 3 Lite is a well-built hefty device at 195 gm. The phone has a glass front, plastic frame, and back with a glossy finish to emulate the glass-back design. The front glass is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.  The Nord CE 3 Lite moves away from the design elements of its predecessor, the CE 2 Lite. Instead of dual tone back with a separate camera housing, users will be getting a flush glossy back with two protruding camera sensors, much like the iPhone 12.  Read more: Redmi Note 12 Turbo Harry Potter Edition: Enter the Magical Wizarding World However, the quirk is somewhere else. Users would be surprised to see that even though there are two camera cutouts on the back, the official spec sheet mentions triple camera setup. That is because one of the camera cutouts, specifically the bottom one, houses two camera sensors. It’s a unique design choice that helps to keep things minimal at the back.  Coming to ports and buttons, the volume rocker and the sim tray are situated on the left of the device with the power button being on the right. The power button also doubles as the fingerprint scanner on the Nord CE 3 Lite.  Being a budget device, the headphone jack is also present on the CE 3 Lite, right beside the Type C charging port. A single-firing speaker also finds its place at the bottom. The top of the device is flush with just the secondary noise cancellation mic for better call clarity.  Read More: Best MacBooks in Bangladesh: Which Apple Laptop Should You Buy? Overall, the design is a slight move towards minimalism from the CE 2 Lite. Whether that is a good thing or bad remains subjective.  Display  The display on the Nord CE 3 Lite is an IPS LCD one. The choice of LCD panel is understandable given the budget it comes at. However, the lack of an AMOLED panel is somewhat made up by the 120 Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The panel boasts around 550 nits of typical brightness with 680 nits of HBM. Though these aren’t industry-leading stats in any way, it's still decent for its price.  Speaking of quality, the panel is exactly as you’d expect LCDs to be. The blacks aren’t deep black and there are some color shifts in extreme angles. Other than that, the smooth scrolling and accurate color recreation make for a compelling and interactive experience.  Read More: May 2023 New Releases: Top 7 Upcoming Smartphones Camera  The Nord CE 3 Lite features three cameras on the back. The main camera is a whooping 108 MP one with the complementing two sensors being a 2 MP macro and depth sensor. It’s clear that the 108 MP sensor is the key player here as it will be doing all the heavy lifting. 

The OnePlus Nord series is known for its flagship-level specifications and sleek design. It features a unique design and differentiation from the other devices in the market. The phones are made with a focus on gaming, photography, and audio. While the series was first introduced in 2020, the company continues to add new phones to the series. Now they are releasing a new phone, the OnePlus Nord 2T, in its lineup. The phone was released on July 5 in India. Let's see the details of the Nord 2T and what we can expect from it. Key Features of OnePlus Nord 2T Design The Nord 2 T's design is very similar to its predecessor Nord 2 5G. From the front, it is nearly impossible to tell the two telephones apart as the sides have the same glossy polycarbonate frame. However, you will see the difference on the back as Nord 2T has a larger camera with a big circular element. But the cameras are in the same place as the Nord 2. Nevertheless, the placement of the flash and ambient light sensor is different from Nord 2. The back of the phone contains the same Corning Gorilla Glass 5 as the front part. But the texture is smoother, which makes the phone slippery. Read Xiaomi 12 Pro Review: Is it a value for money flagship? The phone comes with Jade Fog finish with a glossy back, which features a better grip. However, the Nord 2T is smaller in size compared to flagship phones. On the sides, the phone features a power button on the right and a volume rocker on the left. Buttons are located high on each side so that you can adjust your grip easily. Display Nord 2T comes with a 6.43-inch screen which features a 2400x1800 resolution AMOLED display. The display also supports a 90Hz refresh rate. Besides, it will also provide HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. Although OnePlus mentioned Display P3 support and sRGB, it doesn't offer any color management support. But you will be able to switch manually using the screen color mode setting. In this way, you can also change the color temperature. While the display brightness is good for indoor use, the outdoor performance might be satisfactory for some users. However, the display has an excellent viewing angle. Read Samsung Galaxy A04s: The coming soon budget killer phone While most of the phones in 2022 offer a 120Hz refresh rate, Nord 2T comes with a 60Hz and 90Hz refresh rate. This may seem outdated to some users. The good thing about the 2T display is that it offers a built-in optical fingerprint sensor. Camera Despite the lack of premium camera features, the OnePlus 2T model does not come with a poor-quality camera setup. It has a triple camera setup at the base that includes a 50-megapixel main, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor for black and white photographs. Read Infinix Note 12 G96 Review: A Budget Phone With Top-Notch Features The 50MP main camera includes optical image stabilization. It may perform less low light, but it manages to produce sharp and clear pictures. The pictures are clear and powerful, seeming under daylight, but there's a lot of graininess when the light decreases. The autofocus might not be great, but it does not affect the picture. Further, the 8MP ultrawide sensor takes the finest photos, taking into account the amount of light and the depth of the subject you are photographing. In light conditions, the 2MP lens takes average photos. The front-facing 32 MP selfie camera produces images that accurately depict natural skin tones. However, the subject and other details are secondary, but the colors are true. The selfie camera comes with a low noise feature while the videos remain crisp and smooth, with even less flicker and dimming.  Read Walton Primo R9 Review: Competitive in entry-level budget segment You can record 4K videos at 3fps or 1080p at 60fps with OnePlus Nord 2T. Software and Performance OnePlus Nord 2T uses the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset. It doesn't seem to provide much improvement over Dimensity 1200 SoC as the processor cores and their clock frequencies remained identical. MediaTek swapped the Density 1200 SoC with HyperEngine 5 for superior gaming performance. OnePlus has incorporated a Dimensity 1300 SoC chip with 12 gigabytes of LPDDR4X memory. It also offers 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. OnePlus One 2T uses Android 12 with Oxygen OS 12.1 as its operating system. This is an optimized version that runs smoothly and eliminates any unnecessary complications that may be present in other OS versions. The OS has a private safe for storing sensitive data and features comprehensive customization options. You can customize the software, so you are never left wanting to do more. Read Tecno Camon 19 Neo Review: Know its advantages, disadvantages Oxygen OS 12.1 is a well-known choice for various phones, having previously been used on the OnePlus 10 Pro, Nord CE 2 Lite, and 10R. ColorOS 12 with an alternate design and should be encountered by anyone who has come from Oppo or realme. Battery and Charging The Nord 2T 5G has a dual-cell 4500mAh battery even in the newest generation, with 80W charging speeds, an improvement of 65W. With the fast-charging capability, the Nord 2T 5G can draw the batteries back to full capacity in approximately 38 minutes and 98% in just 30 minutes. These numbers are more or less comparable to the ones using the 65W charger on the Nord 2T 5G. Read Vivo Y01 Review: Is it a worthy entry level budget phone? Price of OnePlus Nord 2T Official OnePlus offers 2 versions of the Nord 2T in India. The 8GB+128GB storage is priced at ₹28,999 or BDT 34066 (1 rupee= BDT 1.17) and 12GB+256GB is ₹33,999 or BDT 39940 (1 rupee= BDT 1.17). The official price of OnePlus Nord 2T in Bangladesh may vary depending on tax and other issues. The phone is not officially available in Bangladesh yet.  Final Words OnePlus Nord 2T is an outstanding new edition to the OnePlus Nord 2 phone. It may not have a flashy design, but it does have its own pros. The phone has a fast processor, an outstanding display, speedy charging, and a layout that may make you nostalgic. The OnePlus Nord 2T mobile phone is rated IP52 and 5G ready, and it also has a tidy UI. The camera setup is not uniform, and the refresh is not quick, but these specs are negligible. On the whole, OnePlus Nord 2T is a great choice if you are looking for an inexpensive phone capable of 5G connectivity. Read Xiaomi Redmi Note 11: Customized Variant Exclusively in Bangladesh

In 2022, OnePlus’s latest phone lineup seems to be improvising all the time. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is the latest in a long series of cheap phones that keep the low prices that OnePlus pioneered so many years ago. However, the Lite version of CE 2 lacks flagship-level features. The phone was officially released on 28th April 2022 in India and now available in Bangladesh. On the surface level, it seems to be a good phone with some outstanding features. Here's a more in-depth look at the phone. Key Features of OnePlus Nord CE2 Lite 5G  Design When it comes to the appearance and general feel of the Nord CE 2 Lite, OnePlus has kept things rather basic. In fact, the Nord CE 2 Lite is on the verge of being pretty generic. The back of the phone is made of plastic, and despite its size, it measures just 8.5 millimeters in thickness. The display is totally flat on the front, and it is joined to the rear of the phone by a curving metallic band that meets the back of the phone. The rear panel of this device is entirely made of plastic. The back panel has a matte finish in most areas, and contains the modest glossy OnePlus logo. Regrettably, the familiar notifications slider option on the OnePlus is not there in this iteration. Read: Xiaomi offers up to Tk12,000 cashback on smartphones Alongside the typical-sized camera protrusion, the top of the phone has a minute accent design in the form of glossy stripes that provide the phone with some flair. A hole-punch selfie on the front side completes everything. Users have to confess that they are quite unaffected by the phone's appearance, which is something that may cut both ways. If you aren't too concerned about fashion, it's not likely to stick out too much (at least in black), but some individuals may prefer it to have a little bit more genuine design going on. However, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you do have some choices in this regard. Read: Oneplus 10R Lite: What will it offer? Display The phone's display is certainly sizable and colors and vibrancy are solid, although since it's an LCD, you simply won't get the true blacks and depth of an OLED or AMOLED display. Users will particularly be amazed that OnePlus has managed to shoehorn in a 120Hz refresh rate. This means that scrolling may be very smooth, and high frame rates are more rewarding while playing your game - the only difficulty being whether the phone can sustain that performance, which users will get on to. Camera OnePlus has also kept things quite basic in terms of its rear camera array, which mostly depends on one primary lens having 64 megapixels for a good degree of quality across all captured images. Read: Best Upcoming Smartphones in Bangladesh in June 2022 It is a really respectable experience for the cost, with photographs that can employ HDR for more vibrant colors and a wonderful wide-angle perspective for default shots, which gives you the confidence that you will be able to fit everything you see into the frame. You may crop into a 2x digital zoom anytime in order to get a squarer and more classic format, and the difference between the first and second photographs is shown below for your reference. From some photos captured by this phone, we have seen that images feature a good color palette, which is perhaps a touch more garish and vibrant than it is realistic. However, that is something that the majority of people are likely to love rather than despise. Some of our photos taken on purpose directly into the sun on a hot day, demonstrates that the camera can perform well in lighting conditions that are tough. Read: Infinix Hot 12 Review: Is it a good budget Smartphone? Moving on to the front of the phone, its selfie performance is absolutely good, but users will much like the results when they won’t utilize the now-required portrait mode. Moving on to the back of the phone, its performance while taking videos is also quite solid. Performance Obviously, a lot of the information presented here is about the phone's specifications on paper, and the experience of actually using the phone is not quite as straightforward. On the one hand, for instance, the display really does look fantastic the vast majority of the time, and the refresh rate is capable of producing an impression of real-world fluidity. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 695 5G at the phone's core might not be up to the task of handling this resolution and 120Hz. Users can be experiencing fairly consistent scrolling lag in a variety of applications. This is not due to a problem with the refresh rate but rather is something that occurs while the phone loads in more content. Read OnePlus 10R Review: Is it a worthy Midrange Flagship Killer? Even while gaming locally without the need to bring in data, there is still a tendency for latency, particularly if you crank up the graphics settings on the phone. Tests were conducted with the phone linked to super-fast 5G and dependable internet. Battery and Charging The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite has a 5,000mAh capacity, which enables it to comfortably survive through a typical day's worth of usage and even sometimes comes close to lasting for two full days. Another advantage of a phone this cheap is that it supports 33W rapid charging, and the charging brick that comes with it lets you charge up pretty quickly. There is no support for wireless charging on this device.  Read Vivo T1 Pro 5G Review: Does it offer value for money? Price of OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite in Bangladesh The Nord CE 2 Lite is officially available in Bangladesh right now. Users can buy the 8GB by 128GB versions at BDT 29,990. However, the price is subject to change.   Verdict The Nord CE 2 Lite is an inexpensive smartphone that offers a variety of appealing features despite its low price point. That being said, from the unit's LCD display to its mono speaker arrangement, the Nord CE 2 Lite will leave media enthusiasts wanting more in terms of sound quality and playback options. The CE 2 Lite makes use of a powerful chipset that is ready for 5G, and, despite the fact that it is not the fastest. In addition to that, in contrast to its rivals, the device provides users with the option of a bloat-free custom skin, which is fantastic.  Read Motorola Moto G22 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone? One of the major drawbacks of the CE 2 Lite is the lack of a more powerful processor for all the high-end features it has. When all is considered, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a respectable smartphone for OnePlus die-hards.

Ever since the release of the OnePlus One back in 2014, OnePlus has strived to merge affordability with performance. The pursuit of providing performance at an affordable price got them the tag “Flagship Killer”. Over the years the company also slowly ventured into the highly competitive mid-range and entry-level budget market with their Nord and N series respectively. As the Q2 of 2022 approaches, there has been a buzzing rumor about the OnePlus Nord N20, the entry-level budget device from OnePlus this year. Here is everything that is known so far about the device. Leaks and Rumours of OnePlus NORD N20 5G The global launch date of the OnePlus Nord N20 is not known yet. The supposed release date in the US is slated to be on the 28th of April with T-Mobile being the exclusive carrier of the device in North America. Design and Build Quality The N series devices have been the bare entry-level devices from OnePlus. So expectedly, there are a lot of cut corners and it all starts with the build. The build quality of the device itself is pretty solid. But the device is made of plastic on the back and the frame with a glass front. The front of the device is protected with Gorilla Glass 3 which brings better protection for the front compared to the previous iterations. Overall, the device and its build quality are acceptable considering the price. Read Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Here is Everything We Know So Far The design of the device echoes the iPhone 12 with its boxed edges and the vertical camera module. The buttons and port selection are as usual with the retained 3.5 mm headphone jack and the standard Type-C port. The sim slot will include a hybrid setup for the second sim or a micro SDXC. There is also an under-display fingerprint scanner on the device. This was a pleasant surprise considering that OnePlus is bringing the under-display fingerprint tech even to the budget segment devices. However, it's not all happy and good. The fan-favorite alert slider is absent this year as well. It's apparent that going forward, OnePlus will not include the alert slider in the budget devices. Display Other than the design, the display has the biggest upgrade here. The OnePlus N10 featured an IPS LCD panel. Now the choice of LCD panel in the budget segment is understandable but it doesn’t compete with the AMOLED panels in any way. Fast forward to the Nord N20, and OnePlus has gone with an FHD+ AMOLED panel. Read Samsung Galaxy A13 4G Review: Does it live up to the hype? This is the same panel found on the OnePlus 7 so the quality is uncompromised here. The blacks look deep with high contrast. OnePlus AMOLED panels are calibrated on warm tones. But users can easily change the tone as per their liking from the display settings. The panel does not support HDR 10+ content nor does it have a high refresh rate. But that is acceptable considering the aggressive price of the device. Camera The OnePlus Nord N20 features a triple camera setup. There is a 48 MP f/2.8 wide-angle main sensor. There is an additional 8 MP as well as 2 MP ultrawide and depth sensor respectively. The sensor housing on the main lens and the ultrawide one has been designed to be significantly larger compared to the depth sensor. The vertically aligned sensors bring that distinct iPhone 12 look to the N20. Speaking of the camera performance, the main sensor delivers more than enough. The sensor can capture a great number of details on the subject all the while preserving the dynamic range. The portrait mode works better on the N20 than it did on the N10 and the edge detection seems more on point here. There are certain exposure issues as the lens might struggle while moving fast from low light to brightly lit areas. Read Oppo F21 Pro Review: Camera Phone Made in Bangladesh The OnePlus dedicated night mode is back here and this alone gives the camera a perfect advantage over its market competitors. The high exposure in dimly lit environments eliminates grains and noises drastically. The videography of the N20 is rated at 1080P at 30 fps max. considering the capable sensor, OnePlus could’ve definitely pushed for at least 60 fps but the processor limits the ability here. Processor and Performance The OnePlus Nord N20 5G features the mid-range Snapdragon 695 5G processor based on the 6 Nm architecture. The 600 series have mainly been the entry-level processor from Snapdragon replacing the 400 series. On top of that, using the octa-core processor with 2 2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold and 6 1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver chip design means the performance of the device will be near the mid-range category than entry-level ones. And the performance shows in UI and daily usage. The phone absolutely blazes through simple tasks like navigation, browsing social media, or consuming content. The processor also performs fairly well in gaming. Graphics intensive 3D titles like Asphalt 9 and Call of Duty see a few frame drops here and there at max settings. But the main problem here is that the device gets heated very fast. So it's better to stick to 2D games here. Read Walton Primo S8 Mini: A Budget Friendly Gaming Phone The global launch will feature the Oxygen OS from OnePlus on top of Android 11. This is a letdown considering most devices launching in Q2 are already coming with Android 12. Other than that, it’s a decent-performing device, not too fast, not too slow either. Battery and Charging Time The exact battery capacity of the OnePlus Nord N20 is not known yet. But given how the device resembles the entry-level market with a not-so-powerful processor, it is expected that the battery will range between 4500 to 5000 mAh. There will be a 30 W wired fast charge included with the device. OnePlus NORD N20 5G Official Price in Bangladesh The OnePlus Nord N20 5G has not yet been officially announced in Bangladesh. However, the device will go on sale in the USA for 282 dollars exclusively through T-Mobile. That roughly brings the price in Bangladesh to around 24,381 BDT (1 USD = 86.46 BDT). However, the price may change depending on the tax, supply, and company policy. Read Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Review: Is it worth it? Verdict The OnePlus Nord N20 5G is an incremental update on the entry-level device from OnePlus. Even though it’s a year-on-year release, it still brings noticeable developments in the processor, camera, and display departments. The device isn’t a gaming phone in any way, so heavy users shouldn’t go for this device. Rather it's aimed at people looking for a casual device at an affordable price.

The OnePlus' Nord line of mid-range smartphones is quite popular in sub-continental nations. The business just released the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, which is the successor to the OnePLus Nord CE from last year. Now, the OnePlus Nord 2T is said to be the next "Nord" device from the firm. Now rumours have started to emerge around what OnePlus can bring to the table with the OnePlus Nord 2T. Several leaks have already been out. Here's all that has come to light now about the OnePlus Nord 2T so far. When Might OnePlus Nord 2T Hit the Market? OnePlus hasn't yet confirmed a debut date for the new Nord 2T. Some websites are speculating that it will arrive in April or May. The date has come into light from famed tech tipster OnLeaks, a collaborator of Indian tech site 91Mobiles. The site gives information about the upcoming gadget. Yogesh Brar, a leaker, agrees but is a bit more precise, predicting a date in late April or early May. After the OnePlus 10 Pro, the phone will be released before the Nord 3, 10R, and 10 Ultra.

Thus a release date in April or May doesn't seem out of the question. Probable Features of OnePlus Nord 2T OnePlus is about to announce the Nord 2T. However, the leaks and rumours are all around the wind. Different sources have provided a lot of information about what to anticipate when the new model comes. Design While OnePlus has yet to reveal the phone's design, the leaker Yogesh Brar has collaborated with OnSiteGo to produce drawings of what the gadget is expected to look like.

The classic alert slider feature of the OnePlus will be there, and the back-camera module will have a new design that is pretty odd. The user may have to choose between two SIM cards and a memory card for the design of the SIM card tray. The slot will almost certainly be on the left side. The right side is said to include volume controls and a power button with a quick fingerprint scanner. An infrared port and a 3.5mm audio jack will be on the top. A Type-C USB port, a microphone, and a speaker are located on the bottom. Display The Nord 2T, like the model it succeeds, is said to feature a 6.43in AMOLED  Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2400x1080. A 90Hz refresh rate will ensure a smooth flow of operation. However, prospective gamers may be disappointed that it lacks the 120Hz capabilities of certain competing phones. Read Vivo Y33s 4G Review: Do features accompany premium look? Processor and Performance According to rumours, OnePlus will most likely employ the new Dimensity 1300 chipset in the Nord 2T. Because MediaTek altered the previous design for greater power, it will be a step up from the Dimensity 1200 in the OnePlus Nord 2 5G. It's also probable that the 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage will help. OxygenOS 12 has been selected to be the operating system. Not to mention, OxygenOS is based on Android 12. The Nord 2T Pro is going to be a gaming dream come true. Without latency or command execution delays, players may play PUBG and Call of Duty in high definition. In addition, the gameplay in Asphalt 9, Genshin Impact will be much more fun for the strong processor. Read Oppo F21 Pro Review: Camera Phone Made in Bangladesh Wi-Fi 802.11, Mobile Hotspot, and Bluetooth - v5.0 are reported to be included with the Nord 2T Pro's connectivity options. An accelerometer, a gyroscope, a proximity sensor, and a compass are examples of sensors. Cameras Mid-range Android phones these days have triple optics. So, it's no surprise that the Nord 2T is supposed to include a 50-megapixel primary camera and 8-megapixel UltraWide and 2-megapixel monochrome (probably for depth) sensors. The front camera will use a punch-hole in the display to take photographs using a 32MP sensor. Because the camera configuration is the same as on the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, anticipate comparable performance and capability in the photography sector. Read Samsung Galaxy A13 4G Review: Does it live up to the hype? Battery and Charger A 4500mAh battery, with an 80W SuperVooc long-lasting fast-charging, comes with the OnePlus Nord 2T, which is the same pace as the OnePlus 10 Pro. Since it isn't a flagship, it won't receive the 150W SuperVooc charging that sibling firm Oppo unveiled at MWC 2022. Probable Price According to current rumours, OnePlus will sell the Nord 2T in Bangladesh for between 33,951 and 45,268 rupees. This is around 30,000 to 40,000 INR. Fans anticipate more varieties, as the OnePlus Nord 2 5G debuted in a variety of specifications. 1 INR = 1.13 BDT is the current INR to BST exchange rate. The Nord 2T is expected to have a similar pricing range since it must fit into the general structure of OnePlus phones, which includes the new OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and any prospective follower of the OnePlus Nord N10 5G. Read Power Bank Buyer guide with Price Ranges in Bangladesh Conclusion The next OnePlus Nord will undoubtedly be faster and feature better cameras. The distance between OnePlus's non-professional and professional models is continually widening. A bold idea to provide additional power and a new appearance is also designed to enhance the consumer experience. The battery will be strong enough to support the powerful processor for sufficient hours. Overall, OnePlus Nord 2T is coming to be welcomed by smartphone lovers of all kinds. It will have something to offer to everyone, no matter their personal preference. As a consequence, even if OnePlus fans despise a particular feature of the phone, they will buy it in droves.

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has been the perfect premium mid-range phone to come out of OnePlus last year. This year, OnePlus has launched the Nord CE 2 5G, the successor to the original CE on 22nd February in China. Considering its similarity with the Oppo Reno 7, does the Nord CE 2 5G phone provides value for money? or is it dwindling in the shadows of Oppo after the merger? Let’s find out in the features, specs, price of OnePlus Nord CE 5G in Bangladesh. Key Features of OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Design and Build Quality The design of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G resembles much with the Oppo Reno 7. There are a few subtle differences like the camera module. The dual material finish on the camera housing gives it a depth effect even though the camera module is completely flush with the back. Read Vivo iQOO 9, and 9 Pro Review with Price in Bangladesh But the problem starts with the build quality. Given the specs and the brand positioning, OnePlus will market the phone as a premium mid-range device. Having an all-plastic build phone at this price range feels a bit of a letdown. The clear plastic on the back is meant to imitate glass. The frame is also finished in chrome to give it a metallic look. At 173 g, the phone is pretty lightweight and feels great in the hand. The phone features the power button and the volume rocker on the right in a typical OnePlus manner. However, the signature OnePlus alert slider is absent here. You will find hybrid sim tray on the left side of this phone. This is the first time OnePlus has introduced a micro-SDXC slot in their devices. Read realme 9i: A step in the style and performance There is a single speaker, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and the Type-C port on the bottom. There is no stereo speaker which might be another deal-breaker for many. In short, OnePlus checks a lot of the boxes with the new Nord CE but leaves much to be desired as well. Display The display is definitely one of the strong points of the Nord CE 2 5G. It features a 6.43-inch FHD+ 90 Hz HDR 10+ panel. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which is also another key feature at its price point. The display is everything expected from an AMOLED panel. OnePlus exclusively sources their panels from Samsung and they have always delivered. Users can enjoy sharp and vibrant colors without any form of distortion. At almost 700 nits peak brightness, the display is perfectly legible in direct sunlight. Overall, the display makes for a pleasing experience just like higher-end OnePlus phones. Read Samsung Galaxy A03 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone? Camera The camera module on the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G would remind anyone of the iPhone 12. The position of the sensors is exactly similar albeit they are a bit larger in size. The main sensor is a 64 MP f/1.8 wide-angle sensor with an additional 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro shooter. The main sensor takes all the limelight here with its PDAF and gyro-EIS. OnePlus has always delivered with their cameras and the Nord CE 2 is no different. Pictures in outdoor condition look crisp and colorful with a decent dynamic range. The wide-angle shooter is a bit smaller compared to last year’s sensor but OnePlus claims that the reduction was done in favor of better image processing. Read Infinix Zero 5G Review: Is it a worthy budget phone? For night or artificial lighting shots, there is the proprietary night mode from OnePlus which does an excellent job of preserving details and eliminating grains from images. The camera can also shoot 4K at 30 fps and 1080P at up to 120 fps. The front camera is the same 16 MP sensor as last year.   Sure enough, the performance of the cameras will not match the likes of the iPhone 13 or Pixel 6 Pro. But, at this price range, this phone's camera features are praiseworthy. Processor and Performance The processor took the biggest upgrade and is basically why the phone is being called a “premium mid-range” device. Unlike last year, OnePlus has introduced MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G chipset built on the 6 Nm architecture. The super-efficient chipset brings flagship-level performance with its octa-core setup.  Read Vivo V23e 5G Review: Is it a good mid-range camera phone? The processor is coupled with Mali-G68 MC4 GPU which adds to the smooth graphics experience. The obvious performance score aside, the phone easily handles graphics-intensive games. In the test, the phone showed very few stutters while playing PUBG at max graphics settings. Other titles also showed similar performance levels without thermal throttling or heating. However, the biggest downgrade is at the OS end. After the merger, OnePlus has replaced the much-loved Oxygen OS with colorOS from Oppo. While ColorOS has come a long way from its laggy and bloatware-filled experience, it is still not near enough the OxygenOS or stock android for that matter. Previous OnePlus users or the new switchers might have to make this compromise in an otherwise smooth OS experience. The Dimensity 900 5G is a very capable processor which delivers an absolutely lag-free experience in everyday usage. Read Redmi Note 11 Review: Another budget performer from Xiaomi Battery and Charge Time The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G has a 4500 mAh battery which is becoming increasingly normal for over 6-inch displays. The battery is complemented by a 65W superVOOC charger. The charger can easily top up the device from zero to 100% in under 90 minutes. However, the device does not support wireless charging. Price of OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G in Bangladesh The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is not officially available in Bangladesh. The price of the device in India is 23,999 INR which roughly translates to 27,399 BDT (1 INR = 1.14 BDT). However, the price may vary depending on several factors like company policy, supply, and tax. Verdict The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G lives up to the legacy of the Nord CE. OnePlus was able to create a ripple in the mid-range market after their fabled flagship killer status. The Nord CE 2 gets a lot of the things right in that legacy including the battery, display, and camera. However, the hardware material could have been a bit better given its price. Overall, the phone is expected to face fierce competition from similarly priced devices from Oppo and Realme. Read Symphony Z45 Review: Handy budget smartphone with basic features

From the early of this year, more midrange smartphones have been released than cheap and premium smartphones combined. As a result, the midrange category has become the new battleground for smartphone makers worldwide. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus brought midrange smartphones back into fashion with the debut of the OnePlus Nord in 2020. Despite its flaws, the Nord series garnered a positive response among customers. In this legacy, OnePlus Nord Core Edition (CE) has been released globally on 11th June 2021. In this review of the OnePlus Nord CE, we lay all the crucial details of the phone. Read Amazfit T-Rex Pro Smartwatch Review: Smart choice for adventure lovers. Key Features of The OnePlus Nord CE Design and Features The OnePlus Nord CE features a similar design as the previous Nord phone, but instead of the Nord's premium glass back cover, it has used a more modest plastic one. The phone also uses a plastic body. However, the plastic body is strong and won't bother the users much. As the Nord CE follows a generation-old design, it could play a negative aspect for the phone. The design even resembles some realme and OPPO smartphones. That's a huge drawback for Nord CE. Furthermore, OnePlus has removed Nord CE's custom alert slider. This slider used to be a standard feature of every OnePlus phone. This removal done to stick to the key features will severely influence the user experience, especially on current OnePlus users. Read Top 7 Best Android Skins in 2021: Know pros, cons The OnePlus Nord CE is under 170 grams and maintains a 159.2 x 73.5 x 7.9mm dimension. This makes it significantly slimmer than the original OnePlus Nord. The Nord CE comes in three different color variants- void blue, charcoal ink, and silver ray. The power button appears on the right side, and it is easily accessible with a single hand. The volume controllers are located on the left. You'll find a 3.5mm jack, a single speaker, and a USB Type-C connector on the bottom. A dual-SIM slot is placed on the upper left side of the phone. Display Last year's OnePlus Nord installed one of the best quality displays of its generation. Whereas the Nord CE has come with a less quality screen. There is nothing new to add about the Nord CE display. A fullHD+ 6.43 inches fluid AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate is featured on the Nord CE.

Like it is sometimes unresponsiveness to touch and cannot use full-screen apps. Hardware and Performance The Nord Core Edition and the original Nord are nearly identical in terms of performance, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chip in both phones. Theoretically, it has a slower clock speed (2.2GHz) than the original phone's Snapdragon 765G (2.4GHz), but practically, both processors perform the same. Regarding gameplay, heavy and midlevel games like Call of Duty, Forza Street, and Alto's Odyssey can play without dropping any frame. COD Mobile and PUBG run flawlessly at extremely high frame rates and graphic settings. However, if the frame rate is set to the Maximum, mild jitters appear. Games like Forza Street and Alto's Odyssey also run smoothly on the OnePlus Nord CE. The OxygenOS 11 features a number of gaming aspects, like FPS meter, Do Not Disturb, mistouch protection, and disable auto-brightness. Read OnePlus 9 Pro Full Review: Does it offer value for money? Lenses and Shots In terms of lenses, the Nord CE has received both an improvement and a downfall. The Core Edition has a triple-camera set up on its back instead of a quad-camera set up of the previous Nord. The primary lens on the rear, however, has been boosted to 64 MP from 48 MP on the Nord. Two other back sensors have remained the same. They are an ultrawide 8MP sensor with an aperture of f/2.3 and an FoV of 119-degree. And a depth sensor of 2MP and f/2.4 aperture. In this Core Edition, a 16MP single-lens has replaced the two lenses of 32MP of the previous version of Nord. The imaging quality has become a little better in the OnePlus Nord CE. The primary camera is considerably good at capturing detail in daylight. However, the color output doesn't seem natural. Hence, the images may seem over-processed but still good for social media uploads. Read Motorola Moto G30 Full Review: An Efficient Phone under Budget Range The low light performance of all the lenses seems poor. None of the cameras can capture detail in insufficient light. The primary camera raises exposure randomly in auto mode. It results in a noisy and poor resolution output. Battery and Charging The OnePlus Nord CE's 4,500 mAh battery lasts longer than a day on typical use. With heavy use, it can last about a day. The phone can handle graphically demanding games while draining the battery. When it is utilized for gaming, imaging, or multimedia streaming, its battery drains faster.  The phone charges quickly as it comes with a 30W rapid wired charger. The battery takes around an hour to be fully charged. Read Dual Monitor Setup: Uses, Buying Guide, Price in Bangladesh OnePlus Nord CE Price in Bangladesh The OnePlus Nord CE is currently available in Europe and India. This phone doesn't appear to be available either in the United States and Australia. The company has released three variants of the phone. But only two variants are available in Bangladesh. The unofficial price for the basic (8GB × 128GB) variant is around BDT 32,500. While the unofficial price for the top variant (12GB × 256GB) is around BDT 37,000. The price may vary depending upon sellers. Final Verdict The OnePlus Nord Core Edition (CE) is a newcomer to the market. It has neither brought exactly game-changing features, nor has overpowered the original Nord phone. In fact, because of its lower cost and simpler linear design, it struggles to find a place in the huge competition of similar price ranged phones. However, if anyone is looking to save a little money, have a stable battery, and a decent display, he should put the phone on his shortlist. The OnePlus Nord CE won't let him down despite it all its shortcomings. Read Samsung Galaxy M32: A Budget Friendly Phone with Massive Battery.
