OnePlus with its lineup of mid-range smartphones has always been eventful, catering to every minor segment.

After releasing the highly anticipated OnePlus Nord 3 last month, the Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer is back to the sale stands with its latest Nord CE upgrade, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G.
I must say, these smartphone monikers are getting quite amusing.

Anyhow, if you need any proof of why OnePlus is still one of the best mid-range smartphone brands out there, the new OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G could very well be the answer.

With Nord CE3 5G, OnePlus is promising a clean yet strikingly designed smartphone with powerful hardware.
But we all know how overcrowded the mid-range segment has become and getting a breakthrough in this category is always the trickiest.

I have managed some quick hands-on time with the newly launched device and one thing I can say – it’s definitely a worthy successor to last year’s Nord CE 2. There is a considerable upgrade from Nord CE2.

You are getting a bigger display, a bigger battery, faster charging, and indeed a more flagship-level camera setup. However, the question remains, can Nord CE3 5G be the “gaming-changer” device?

Let’s see.

OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Unboxing

I received the review unit a week before the sale date. The unit was provided by OnePlus. It came in the traditional OnePlus Nord packaging. The black colour box with prominent Nord branding using variants colours is a standard now.

I received the Aqua Surge colour variant for this review and thus, the box also had the same colour Nord branding. The packaging is sophisticated and has the necessary information printed on the back.

Opening the retail box carefully, I first found another black paper box with the OnePlus logo.
This paper box contains a good-quality plastic phone case along with some documentation.

The documents include a OnePlus Quick Guide, a OnePlus safety guide, a Red Cable Club membership card, a welcome letter from OnePlus Nord Team and some brand stickers. You also get the SIM ejector tucked in a paper card with other documents.

The inclusion of the OnePlus brand sticker and the Red Cable Club Membership Card is to make you feel like you are part of an exclusive club, gaining access to exciting events and rewards.

The next reveal is the OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G nestled securely inside and covered in a paper wrap.
You also notice the pre-applied screen protector, ensuring the brand-new device would remain immaculate from day one.

As you delve further inside the box, you discover the 80W SUPERVOOC Power Adapter and Type-C Cable neatly kept in compartments beneath the phone.

With attention to detail, quality, and user satisfaction at the core, here’s a roundup of everything you get in the box of Nord CE3 5G –

  • OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G
  • 80W SUPERVOOC Power Adapter
  • Type-C Cable (supports USB 2.0)
  • Phone Case
  • Screen Protector (pre-applied)
  • SIM Tray Ejector
  • Welcome Letter
  • Quick Guide
  • Brand Sticker
  • Red Cable Club Membership Card
  • Safety Guide

OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Design and Build Quality

The latest Nord CE3 follows a classic OnePlus design philosophy that we have more or less seen in previous OnePlus devices. I had the Aqua Surge colour variant for this review and it looks vibrant with a glass-like feel at the back panel.

The glass-like back adds a premium vibe to the device that only enhances the overall appeal of the phone design. It also provides increased fingerprint resistance to the back panel.

One of the first things you notice in Nord CE3 is how lightweight the device feels in hand. It weighs 184g. For 6.7-inch smartphones, Nord CE3’s in-hand feel is exceptionally well-balanced.

The proper weight distribution is definitely one of the main contributors here along with the clean industrial design.

Another reason why Nord CE3 feels comfortable and has achieved a great ergonomic design is the flat edges paired with subtle curves at the back. It smoothly fits in the palm of your hand.

There are subtle shifts in the design DNA if you compare it with Nord CE2 though. I didn’t have a Nord CE2 unit to do a side-by-side comparison.

But from whatever I could compare via images of Nord CE2 available on OnePlus’s official website, it was clear that the brand has adopted multiple changes throughout.

First of all, the rectangle ballooning of the rear camera house that we saw in Nord CE2 is now gone from its successor.
There is no separate house for camera setup in Nord CE3 and all you get on the back panel are dual stainless steel camera surrounds featuring three lenses.

The shiny metal rings perfectly protect the cameras while a glitzy diamond-shaped flash adds a refreshing bling.

Moreover, the power button and volume rockers are found on the right-hand side frame of the phone. And just like Nord CE2, the new device also doesn’t have the OnePlus classic Alert Slider.

You also get Dual speakers with one at the top and one at the bottom frame. Apart from this, the SIM tray is located at the bottom frame along with a Type-C USB 2.0 port.

The hybrid SIM slot is dedicated to Dual Nano-SIM/One Nano-SIM and one MicroSD with up to 1TB memory expansion support. There is an IR blaster at the top frame

As for protection features, Nord CE3 5G has got an IP54 rating, which means protection from limited dust ingress and water spray from any direction.

OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Display and Multimedia Experience

OnePlus Nord CE3 5G - Display
OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Display
  • 7-inch Fluid AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • FHD+ experience with 2412 x 1080 pixels resolution, pixel density of 394 ppi, sRGB, Display P3, 10-bit Color Depth, and HDR10+ Support

The display, although looks great on paper, isn’t the strongest feat of the Nord CE3. This was also one of the major issues with its predecessor as well. Although, OnePlus did work on some upgrades.

OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G comes with a large 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED display that promises a stunning visual experience.

The display has sRGB, Display P3, 10-bit Color Depth, and HDR10+ Support while offering  FHD+ experience with 2412 x 1080 pixels resolution, and a pixel density of 394 ppi.

But that’s not all – the OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G excels in its refresh rate capabilities. You have the flexibility to choose between 60Hz, 90Hz, or an impressive 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring buttery-smooth animations and scrolling.

Whether you want to conserve battery life with 60Hz or take full advantage of the fluidity at 120Hz, the choice is yours.

Another good thing about the OnePlus Nord CE 3’s display is its impressive screen-to-body ratio of 93.4%. This means minimal bezels, maximizing the screen real estate for an edge-to-edge feel that draws you deeper into your content.

The viewing experience is truly immersive thanks to the small 2.37mm chin and 1.47mm side bezels.

While using the phone before this review, I struggled with the display brightness though. The phone does come with a 2160Hz PWM dimming feature but still, most of the time I was using the phone to stream YouTube or Netflix, the display brightness seems too dull.

Switch on the Eye Comfort mode and it becomes even more dark-toned. I’m not sure about the brightness feature as OnePlus has provided no information.

Above is a YouTube video stream I recorded indoors in artificial lighting. This quality is good when Bright HDR Video Mode is turned on.

Also, we are getting a set of dual speakers with top and bottom speaker firing vents. The sound quality you can check in the video above. The speaker sound isn’t too loud and it gives more bass than punch is what I felt.

On the other hand, the 20.1:9 aspect ratio is perfectly tailored for modern multimedia consumption, offering an elongated screen that’s perfect for watching movies, gaming, or multitasking with split-screen views.

All-in-all, you can expect true-to-life visuals with decent clarity and crisp visual detailing. The device is capable of making your media consumption and gaming experiences feel truly immersive.

It is not one of the best displays in the segment but it doesn’t falter from what all is expected from a smartphone of this calibre.

It is also the first OnePlus Nord Core Edition phone to support RAM-Vita, a technology developed by OnePlus to help you get the most from your phone’s memory.

To understand the actual unit capacity of the phone further, I ran some basic benchmark tests. While the Geekbench 6 CPU result was 1121 for single-core and 2754 for multi-core, the GPU result for the same benchmark app came 2558 for GPU OpenCL.

As for the AnTuTu v10 results, Nord CE3 5G scored 645598 with CPU temperature recorded at 48.2℃.

If we compare the AnTuTu result with its predecessor Nord CE2, there is a considerable difference in recorded scores. Nord CE2 has an overall AnTuTu score of 423,161.

WILD LIFE STRESS TEST SCREENSHOT
WILD LIFE STRESS TEST SCREENSHOT

Putting the device through the Wild Life Stress test to understand its capacity to perform under longer periods of heavy load showed some great results.
It came to around 99.1% stability with Best Loop Score recorded at 2861 and the Lowest Loop Score of 2834.

Similarly, the phone works well for games also. I spent a few hours testing out BGMI and Genshin Impact Mobile using the max settings. The gaming experience is actually much better than I expected.

There were no noticeable frame drops even with the highest settings of BGMI. Although Genshin Impact at higher settings might not run as smoothly as stutters were quite noticeable from the very beginning of the game.

So you might have to dial down the settings to 30 fps and graphics quality to medium to play games such as Genshin Impact. Simply by altering the settings, I was able to get fairly stable gameplay.

Moreover, I did notice that the phone gets quite warm to the touch after just a few intense gaming sessions. And just to make it clear, the phone’s cooling system otherwise works quite well and it does cool down itself fast as well.

As for software, it has the latest OxygenOS 13.1, based on the smooth and customizable Android™ 13 operating system.
OxygenOS is renowned for its clean and bloatware-free interface. It offers a near-stock Android experience with added customizations and features.

OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Camera Hardware and Output

OnePlus Nord CE3 5G - Camera
OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G – Camera
  • Triple Lens Rear Camera Setup – 50-Megapixel Primary lens + 8-Megapixel Ultra-wide + 2-Megapixel Macro
  • 16-Megapixel Front Camera

Let’s talk about the cameras.

The Nord CE3 5G camera system is versatile and capable of providing great output. OnePlus is sticking to the triple camera setup on the rear side a combination of primary + ultra-wide + micro sensors.

However, there is a significant upgrade when it comes to sensor quality and output in the primary camera.

The primary camera of Nord CE3 5G boasts a 50 megapixels Sony IMX890 sensor with a size of 1/1.56″ and a pixel size of 1.0 µm. The 6P lens setup and ƒ/1.8 aperture allow for excellent light-gathering capabilities.

The output of the primary camera is stunning giving clarity and detail in every shot. It excels in capturing vivid and well-defined images even in challenging lighting conditions.

The presence of Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) ensures fast and accurate focusing, making it ideal for capturing action shots and moving subjects.

Additionally, both Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support work in tandem to eliminate camera shakes. The largely produces blur-free images even in shaky scenarios.

Ultra Wide Lens

Then we have the 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera featuring a Sony IMX355 sensor with a wide 112° angle of view.
It is a perfect combination to capture landscapes, group photos, and immersive shots that encompass more in a single frame.

The shots I tried to take using the ultra-wide sensor were bright and detailed.
Though it has a fixed focus, the ultra-wide camera captures sharp and distortion-free images that add depth and creativity to your photography.

A dedicated 2-megapixel macro lens with an effective shooting distance of 4cm produces decent results.
It allows you to explore the tiny details of your subjects, whether it’s intricate textures, delicate patterns, or tiny flora and fauna.

You also get a decent 16-megapixel front camera for all your selfie and video calling needs.

With a wide ƒ/2.4 aperture and a focal length equivalent to 24mm, the front camera allows more light to enter the lens, brightening up the selfies and creating a background blur that makes the subject stand out.

The selfies came out a lot more natural. The camera does not fine-tune the images too much and keeps the skin tone genuine.

If you are into videography, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G might look great to you from the spec sheet. With the ability to shoot videos in 4K at 30 frames per second, Nord CE3 5G is capable of capturing stunningly detailed and lifelike footage.

However, for best results, I would recommend the 1080p video that supports both 30 and 60 frames per second recordings.

Check out both video recording samples above in daylight and nightlight. Both were recorded at 1080p settings and have managed to capture with great clarity.

Even though recording special moments or creating professional-grade content using the 4K video can ensure exceptional clarity and realism, not much customisation is available at that resolution setting.

With 1080p video at 120 frames per second and 720p video at an impressive 240 frames per second, you can capture stunning slow-motion shots that bring out every detail in action-packed moments.

On the other hand, the Ultra Steady Mode ensures smooth and stabilized 1080p video at 60 frames per second, making it ideal for recording on-the-go action or fast-paced scenes with minimal shakiness.

For the social media enthusiasts out there, Nord CE3 5G offers a host of other exciting video-capturing features, including Pano for capturing breathtaking panoramic videos, Macro for detailed close-up shots in videos, and Text-scanner for extracting text from videos.

The device also provides retouching options, filters, and Google Lens integration for added versatility and creativity in your video-capturing endeavours.

iPhone 15 Pro: A Sneak Peek into 5 things we might see on the Upcoming Apple Flagship

0

HIGHLIGHTS

*New titanium build for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, offering a lighter yet durable design.
*Larger batteries across the iPhone 15 Pro series for improved battery life.
*3nm A17 Bionic chipset promising faster processing speeds and power efficiency in the 15 Pro devices.
*Introduction of a customisable Action button replacing the traditional mute switch for 15 Pro and Pro Max.
*Transition to USB Type-C ports for faster data transfer rates on both 15 Pro devices.

iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro

The anticipation for the iPhone 15 series is palpable, as we approach closer to September.

This year’s collection is likely to present an intriguing divergence from the past, with the fundamental differences between the standard and pro versions becoming more nuanced, yet intriguingly distinct.

It would seem that for this year, based on leaks, the quality of the iPhone 15 will be such that many consumers might consider it over the Pro version.

That’s largely because the new base model will bear many similarities to the previous year’s Pro-grade models.

Be it the display or even the primary camera, Apple looks to be making sure more users gravitate towards its more budget offering, if indeed nearly $800 can be called a budget.

However, the iPhone 15 Pro versions aren’t without their own allure. For those willing to extend their budget, the Pro models promise a series of exclusive features.
Here are five aspects that are fueling the excitement around the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max:

Titanium Build

iPhone 15 Pro versions 
iPhone 15 Pro Titanium Build

The titanium build of the iPhone has sparked a lot of interest. It’s a step up from the stainless steel case of the previous models, which, while robust and durable, had a significant weight that some users found cumbersome.

Titanium is known for its strength but most importantly, its lightness and it seems like a logical progression in the evolution of the iPhone’s design.
Using Titanium will likely reduce the weight of the phone without compromising its durability.

However, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max version is slated to get this build and sadly not the normal Pro moniker. Perhaps next year with the iPhone 16, the material will be ubiquitous across the entire lineup.

Bigger Battery

Bigger Battery
iPhone 15 Pro Bigger Battery

As per leaks, it appears that all the new models will have a noticeable increase in thickness compared to their predecessors.

This change would be especially prominent with both the iPhone 15 Pro devices. Speculation suggests that all iPhone 15 models will be equipped with larger batteries than their previous counterparts.

The Pro phones could get an even bigger battery jump, if leaks are anything to go by.  Given this, the slight increase in thickness is a trade-off that many would gladly accept.

While the larger batteries might add to the overall weight of the phone, the introduction of the lightweight titanium case is hoped to offset this, at least in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

3nm Transition

A17 Bionic chipset
A17 Bionic Chipset

The transition to a 3nm process for the A17 Bionic chipset in the iPhone 15 Pro series represents a significant leap forward in Apple’s chip technology.

What this means for the iPhone 15 Pro is the potential for faster processing speeds and more efficient power usage, translating to a smoother, quicker user experience and possibly an increase in battery life.

The A17 Bionic will be Apple’s most advanced chip yet, potentially setting a new benchmark for smartphone performance.

The Pro Max, with its larger thermal envelope, could possibly be the fastest phone on the planet when it is released in September of this year.

Solid-State Mute Switch

Solid-State Mute Switch

The forthcoming iPhone 15 Pro series marks one of the first steps towards Apple’s goal of a completely button-less and port-less iPhone. Among the anticipated changes, the traditional mute switch is slated to be replaced by an Action button.

The customisable Action button, which would work on a capacitive touch response, opens up a new realm of personalised interactions, where the button could be set to perform different actions based on the user’s preferences.

There are also reports that Apple AI could possibly become self-aware and change the Action button’s functionality depending on what the user is accessing.

USB Type-C

iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPhone 15 Pro USB Type-C

While it is all but confirmed that all models of the upcoming iPhone 15 will be transitioning to USB Type-C, the 15 Pro models in particular are going to get fast Thunderbolt speeds.

This is very likely going to shoot up the data transfer rate on the iPhone 15 Pro devices and make it work in sync with MacBooks more efficiently.

FAQs

Q: What is the expected build material for the iPhone 15 Pro Max?

A: The iPhone 15 Pro Max is expected to feature a titanium build for a lighter yet robust design.

Q: What are the changes in the battery for the iPhone 15 Pro series?

A: Rumors suggest the iPhone 15 Pro models will house larger batteries than their predecessors, justifying a slight increase in thickness.

Q: How does the new A17 Bionic chipset enhance the iPhone 15 Pro’s performance?

A: The A17 Bionic chipset, utilizing a 3nm process, is expected to increase processing speeds and power efficiency, potentially setting new performance benchmarks.

Q: What is the function of the new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro?

A: The new Action button, replacing the traditional mute switch, is a customizable feature that might adapt its functionality based on the user’s activity and context.

Q: How will the transition to USB Type-C ports affect the iPhone 15 Pro?

A: The transition to USB Type-C ports with fast Thunderbolt speeds is expected to significantly increase the data transfer rate, streamlining data exchanges with other devices.

5 Reasons to Wait for iPhone 15: Anticipated Features Worth the Patience

0

Highlights

•The iPhone 15 is set to bring the Dynamic Island feature to all users.
•USB-C connectivity expected in all iPhone 15 series models.
•The device is predicted to include Apple’s second-fastest mobile silicon, the A16 chipset.
•Camera setup of the iPhone 15 is anticipated to feature a 48MP primary camera.
•Exciting new colour variants likely to be introduced with the iPhone 15.

If you’re contemplating purchasing a new iPhone , the thought of buying the upcoming iPhone 15, is likely to cross your mind, even if it means waiting until it’s released in September 2023.

Currently the iPhone 14 series, is a leading contender to harness most of Apple’s smartphone capabilities without paying an hefty premium.

Apart from that you can also go for the iPhone 13 series, iPhone 12 and the iPhone SE 2, all of which are currently being sold by the American electronics giant.

While some of you might be content choosing one of these iPhones, or even a phone from a different brand altogether, it could be beneficial for many to hold off for the unveiling of the 2023 iPhone.

Speculations surrounding the iPhone 15 have been circulating for a while now, and the anticipated models seem poised to continue the success of the iPhone 14 series.

It’s probable that Apple will keep the four model lineup, so we could anticipate the launch of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year. Also leaks have suggested that Apple is going to maintain the screen sizes in tandem with the company’s current lineup of iPhones.

So, should you wait for the iPhone 15? Here are five reasons why.

Dynamic Island For All

 iPhone 15
iPhone 15

It can be said with a high degree of certainty that the most significant enhancement in the iPhone 15 to be the introduction of the Dynamic Island, a feature we’ve already seen in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

There are widespread rumours that the iPhone 15 will incorporate this Dynamic Island, making it a likely upgrade.

This suggests that the iPhone 15 could bid goodbye to the classic notch that came with the iPhone X nearly six years ago, substituting it with a modern, practical in-screen camera cut-out.

Ingeniously, Apple has integrated this feature into its interface, allowing it to display useful information like timers or the track you’re currently playing. So if you want a dynamic island experience while on a budget, the iPhone 15 is your best shot.

It’s finally USB-C Time

 iPhone 15
iPhone 15 Series

Reports have been very reliable in suggesting that finally, Apple is taking the big transition towards USB-C and move away from its proprietary lighting port.

The iPads were the first to make this move and Apple’s biggest revenue generator, the iPhone, is next.

All phones in the iPhone 15 series are going to get USB-C connectivity, negating the need for you to carry that extra lighting cable whenever you go out.

Apple’s Second-Fastest Mobile Silicon

A16 chipset
A16 chipset

It’s been nearly two years since the non-pro iPhones got a processor bump as both the iPhone 13 and 14 ran on the same Apple A15 platform.

However, the iPhone 15 will be getting the A16 chipset that came on the iPhone 14 Pro series.

Granted the performance jump is not the greatest, but the A16 is based on a smaller 4nm architecture which is likely to not only improve the processing capability but also power efficiency.

Upgrade to the Camera Setup

Upgrade to the Camera Setup

The iPhone 15 is rumoured to shed the dual 12MP cameras that have been staple on all non-pro handsets since the iPhone 1.

It is believed that a 48MP shooter could be made available for primary image taking responsibilities while the 12MP ultra-wide would remain the same.

This does indicate that camera performance is likely going to be a highlight of the iPhone 15.

Whether it would be significantly better, is something we will see after the device is in the hands of reviewers.

Exciting New Colours

Exciting New Colours

The iPhone 15 is likely to get at least one or two new colour options as per reports. The full range of variants could include Midnight, Starlight, Green, Light Yellow, Pink, and Product (RED).

FAQs:

Q: When is the iPhone 15 expected to be launched?

A: The iPhone 15 is expected to be launched in September 2023.

  • Triple Rear Camera Setup – 50MP Sony IMX890 + 8 MP Ultra Wide + 2 MP Macro. The 50 MP Sony IMX890 has got OIS for stable, high-resolution shooting.
  • Front camera – 16 MP f/2.4 Wide Angle Sensor

The rear camera setup of the Nord CE3 comprises a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The star of the show is the 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor, which boasts Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

The inclusion of OIS is for stable, high-resolution shooting, minimizing camera shake and producing sharper images. This feature would be useful for capturing detailed shots in various lighting conditions.

The ultra-wide lens with an 8MP resolution allows users to capture wider scenes, ideal for landscape photography or fitting more elements into the frame.
The macro lens, with its 2MP resolution, enables close-up shots with intricate details, allowing users to explore the world of tiny subjects.

Our first impression of the cameras is delightful. The daylight images will always be good with decent dynamic range.
The focus and shutter speeds should also be fine and the colour output might not have been the best. In any case, this should be definitely one of the best camera setups in this segment.

Nord CE3’s front and rear cameras
Nord CE3’s front and rear cameras

For selfie enthusiasts, the Nord CE3 features a 16MP front camera with an f/2.4 wide-angle sensor. This front camera captures vibrant selfies, making it suitable for capturing individual or group shots.

However, the front camera shots were a little more refined. These mostly look over-saturated and over-enhanced.

An interesting feature is the TurboRAW algorithm Nord CE3 incorporates. This enhances the low-light shooting capabilities of the phone.
This algorithm works in conjunction with the flagship main sensor and OIS and enables capturing clearer and more detailed photos in Night Mode.

Although advantageous for low-light photography enthusiasts, whether it improves image quality in challenging lighting conditions or not is something that can only be known after thorough usage.

Lastly, OnePlus has upgraded the Portrait mode on this phone for the front and rear cameras for more accurate background blurring, bokeh effects, and bokeh flare filters. Furthermore, the inclusion of ICE 2.0 further aids in reducing blurring, ensuring sharp and high-detail photos.
