Design and display: The OnePlus Nord CE5 is smooth, light, and sits comfortably in the hand. The refined and pellet -shaped camera module not only looks elegant, but also ensures that the phone is quite flat on surfaces without staggering too much. The rear panel has a smooth, matte finish that gives it a premium feel.
However, the smooth and slim design makes the OnePlus Nord C5 slightly slippery. Fortunately, the box in OnePlus includes a protective case, which neatly resolves the issue.

We have got the results here.
Battery: The OnePlus Nord CE5 packs a sufficient 7,100mAh lithium-ion polymer battery and supports 80W Supercoke fast charging. On a specific day, it easily lasts 20 to 24 hours from the requirement of a top-up. While the brand battery claims up to 2.5 days (60 hours) of life, this figure seems realistic only for light or topical use.
When he needed to charge, the Nord CE5 was affected by reaching 80 percent in just 47 minutes. Unlike many devices that become heated during fast charging, it only warmed and cooled quickly, making the experience smooth and troublesome.
Camera: The OnePlus Nord CE5 is equipped with a dual rear camera setup, with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. This color performs well in the context of reproduction, alive yet offers a natural looking tone that increases the overall appeal of photographs. However, it struggles to catch fine details with equal level accuracy.
On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie camera that gives decent results in daylight, but slightly stuttering in low-light settings. To look at the camera performance, including sample shots, read our complete review.
Decision: Price of Rs 24,999, OnePlus Nord CE provides excellent price for 5 paise. With its expansion 6.77-inch display, impressive 7,100mAh battery, striking design and 50-megapixel main camera, it ticks most of the right boxes for budget-friendly devices.

Nevertheless, the Nord CE 5 stands out as a solid option, without increasing its budget for users a reliable, stylish, and well-round smartphone.
