The OnePlus Nord CE 5 performs well in every way. I charge this OnePlus smartphone incredibly quickly, my apps launch quickly, and I take beautiful photos with it.
Charging in a flash Just like with many other OnePlus smartphones, I find that I can charge the battery very quickly. With a OnePlus 80-watt charger, the battery is fully charged within half an hour. This means my smartphone is connected to the charger much less often, which is better for battery life. I also run out of battery less often, because within half an hour I have enough power to get through the entire day.
Suitable for demanding apps Despite its relatively low price, I find the OnePlus Nord CE 5 to be a fast smartphone. My apps launch quickly, and I can even use multiple apps simultaneously when necessary. Running demanding apps is also no problem for this device. For example, I occasionally play a game on the Nord CE 5, and that works without any problems.
Takes good photos With the dual cameras on the back of the OnePlus Nord CE 5, I take sharp photos and videos. The standard lens is of excellent quality and takes sharp photos with plenty of detail, even in low light. I find the wide-angle lens especially useful for photographing, for example, a large building or a landscape. These photos are also sharp and colorful.
Large screen The Nord CE 5 has a 6.77-inch screen. This large screen gives me extra space for watching videos or playing games. Thanks to the Full HD resolution, I can do this in high quality. However, I do find that the screen's size makes it difficult to use with one hand. I notice this, for example, when typing a message or needing a button at the top of the screen.

I had already written a review before but the only downside is that if you use Android Auto it gets hot and therefore becomes much slower when you want to use your phone.
