Best OnePlus phone 2023: Pro, Nord and more

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is another very competent affordable phone from OnePlus.

It’s solidly built, has a smooth 120Hz display, and runs reasonably smooth. The 64Mp main camera, on the other hand, is capable of capturing images with real pop.

However, there’s no denying that this is one of the least exciting OnePlus phones we’ve seen in quite some time. In some ways, it seems downright unnecessary.

For slightly less than the OnePlus Nord CE 2, you get a phone with an inferior LCD screen, less powerful performance, slower charging and a less flexible camera system. Meanwhile, rival efforts from Xiaomi and Realme deliver similar or even slightly better specs for less money.
