The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is an impressive, affordable mid-range phone that has few weaknesses. The performance, battery and charging function are absolutely fantastic for the price, and despite the plastic casing, the design looks elegant and chic. The camera has its weaknesses, but that is to be expected for the price...

Making phone calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life is hardly conceivable without a smartphone. It is therefore all the more important to be able to rely on the devices. The Stiftung Warentest smartphone test answers the question of which model is the test winner and which ones lack stability or basic functions.

The Oneplus Nord CE 2 Lite scores over its rival with a fast processor and regular security updates for three years. However, the camera system is a little weak.

Whether the abundance of new OnePlus devices is really necessary remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that both phones are solidly in the mid-range and unless you are a display fetishist, you can go for the cheaper CE 2 Lite without a guilty conscience.
