At its Summer Launch event on June 10, Chinese company OnePlus finally launched its latest device, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, a successor to the OnePlus Nord launched in 2020, and the slimmest phone from the company since the OnePlus 6T, which was launched in October 2018 (with 7.9mm of thickness and weighing 170g). Equipped with 12GB of RAM, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and comes in three distinct color options – Blue Void (matte), Charcoal Ink (glossy), and Silver Ray.
