‘Smoother than an olympic diver slathered in goose fat’ — the affordable OnePlus Nord CE5 seriously impressed me with its slick performance and fluid 120Hz display

Given its affordable price, using the OnePlus Nord CE5 is a surprisingly polished experience. Both its display and camera deliver seriously dynamic color, its OS is smooth to use and makes multitasking a breeze, and its battery can outlast many flagship phones. Admittedly, its chipset is far from top of the range, it’s packed with more bloat than I’d like, and it can’t handle games on max graphics settings, but none of its shortcomings are egregious. It’s a seriously skilled phone in many areas given its low price tag.

Pros

+Vibrant display
+Great productivity performance and gesture control
+Rich, colorful photography
+Epic 20-hour battery life

Cons

-Middling chipset
-Too much bloat
-Limited to 2x optical zoom
