Excited for the new OnePlus Nord CE? This is your first official look at the phone’s design.
The OnePlus Nord CE 5G is set to be officially unveiled later this week, and we’ve been given an exclusive image of the upcoming smartphone directly from OnePlus to share with you, so you can see the rear of the handset for the first time. The image above is the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE in its Blue Void color. Unsurprisingly, the new phone looks a lot like the original OnePlus Nord, but there are a couple of differences. This new handset’s moniker stands for ‘Core Edition’, and the company is stripping back a few specs from the original Nord for this phone and offering it at a more affordable price (which we hope to hear about on June 10). What has changed from the original OnePlus Nord? The placement of the flash on the rear of the phone is different, and we’ve also got that previously mentioned new color (but it isn’t dissimilar to the company’s Blue Marble on the first Nord). The phone also looks to have three cameras on the rear, which is one less than the original Nord. We’ve yet to learn the exact specs of what this shooter will be able to do, but the fact two of the cameras look similar sizes suggests that one is the main and the other will be an ultra-wide. It’s unclear what the third lens is for, but it may be either a depth or a macro camera. We also don’t yet have any photos of the front of the phone. Oliver Zhang, Head of Product at OnePlus, told TechRadar, “CE stands for Core Edition, and the whole design philosophy hinges around the idea of “core”. The essence of “core” is reduction – distilling the product down to the most important things. “You see mid-range phones on the market with very exaggerated specifications. We actively avoided some of those features and kept the things we felt would really make a difference to the daily smartphone experience, like fast charging (Warp Charge 30T Plus), a 90Hz AMOLED display, or 5G.” So you shouldn’t expect huge specs on the OnePlus Nord CE, but the company is keen to include things that matter to the average person.
