How OnePlus Nord 2 Compares to the Nord CE 5G
While waiting for the Nord 2, OnePlus has already launched the OnePlus Nord CE 5G in India in three configurations and three colour variants. The Nord CE 5G features a triple rear camera setup and a punch-hole display. It is available on Amazon India and through OnePlus' online store.
The starting price of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is Rs 22,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant is priced at Rs 24,999, while the top-end model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage carries a price tag of Rs 27,999. Colour options include Blue Void, Charcoal Ink, and Silver Ray.
Given that the OnePlus Nord CE 5G tops out at Rs 27,999, the Nord 2 is expected to slot in just under the Rs 30,000 mark, offering more powerful specs at a competitive price point. This positions the Nord 2 as a direct challenger to similarly priced phones from Samsung and Xiaomi in the Indian market.
