The OnePlus Nord CE6 is the latest addition to OnePlus’s mid-range smartphone lineup, launched alongside the Nord CE6 Lite. It follows the successful introduction of the premium Nord 6 last month.

Beginning with the unboxing, the Nord CE6 unveils no significant surprises, which is a positive aspect for OnePlus products. You will find a full set of in-box accessories, including an 80W charger, a charging cable, and a protective case. It's reassuring to see that the brand continues to provide essential items in the packaging, even at this price point.
The phone’s design closely resembles that of the Nord 6, sharing similar dimensions. The primary visual distinctions are the rear camera layout and the available colors. The Nord CE6 is offered in three understated hues: blue, pearl, and black. The rear camera design is simplified, containing one less camera than the Nord 6.

In terms of build quality, the Nord CE6 stands up impressively. Like its predecessor, it boasts multiple IP ratings—IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K. Additionally, it meets the rigorous MIL-STD-810H standards, highlighting its robust construction.
Focusing on the camera specifications, the Nord CE6 features a solitary 50MP rear camera equipped with dual-axis optical image stabilization (OIS), capable of recording in 4K. The front-facing camera is a 32MP unit with autofocus, also supporting 4K video capture.

The display of the Nord CE6 matches that of the Nord 6, featuring a 144Hz 1.5K AMOLED panel, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. OnePlus promises a seamless gaming experience with 144fps in select titles. Furthermore, the device houses a substantial 8000mAh battery, which can also reverse charge compatible devices.
The OnePlus Nord CE6 is set to go on sale starting May 7. Stay tuned for an in-depth review coming soon.
