OnePlus’ new reasonably priced Nord cellphone launches February seventeenth with a headphone jack

OnePlus has one other entry in its Nord lineup coming subsequent week: the Nord CE 2. The handset is the successor to final yr’s Nord CE, and goals to be a extra reasonably priced, stripped-down counterpart to its mid-range Nord 2. The CE stands for “Core Edition,” just like Samsung’s FE or “Fan Edition” Galaxy units. The Nord 2 CE will launch on February seventeenth.

The Oppo sub-brand is promoting that the Nord 2 “takes the best parts of Nord 2 and puts it into an even more affordable package.” Features embrace 65W fast-charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and help for as much as 1TB of microSD expandable storage. A teaser video reveals the cellphone could have a hole-punch notch on the highest left of its show.

An picture launched by the corporate reveals 4 cutouts within the rear of the cellphone. Don’t anticipate these to correspond to 4 digital camera sensors although, as one in every of them is sort of actually a cutout for the cellphone’s flash. Leaked specs compiled by GSMArena counsel the Nord CE 2 could have three rear cameras, and that it’ll be powered by a MediaTek MT6877 Dimensity 900 5G processor.

Although the cellphone is a brand new launch from OnePlus, GSMArena notes that it seems to be a rebranded Oppo Reno7 SE 5G from final yr with upgraded cameras. But that shouldn’t be too stunning given OnePlus’s full transformation into an Oppo sub-brand.

OnePlus hasn’t given any official indication of value for the brand new Nord 2 CE, however for reference the unique Nord CE value £299 within the UK and €329 in Europe at launch. It didn’t obtain a US launch.
