OnePlus's Core Edition Nord model gets an upgrade with the just launched OnePlus Nord CE 2. The company revamps the look of the phone to sport a design reminiscent of sister company OPPO's Find X3 Pro. The redesign makes sense, given how the OPPO and OnePlus teams have merged. Even with the new look, the Nord CE 2 gets the same triple rear camera setup as its predecessor, including a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and 2-megapixel depth.

The Nord CE 2 runs on a Dimensity 900 processor with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB of expandable UFS 3.1 storage and Android 11-based OxygenOS 11.3. It retains the original model's 6.43-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, 16-megapixel selfie camera, and 4,500Mah battery with 65W wired charging support. OnePlus retails the Nord CE 2 for INR 23,999 (roughly CA$410 converted) for the 6GB variant. It goes on sale in India on February 22, followed by Europe on March 10.

OnePlus joins many of the big names opting out of making an in-person appearance at CES 2022 in a few days. It didn't give a detailed explanation, but the move is clearly a response to the surge of new COVID-19 cases because of the Omicron variant. OnePlus is starting the year with the introduction of the OnePlus 10 Pro, and there were rumours it was going to unveil the phone at CES. Maybe it will still do a virtual launch for its next flagship.

Right now, OnePlus joins the likes of AMD, MSI, Microsoft, Lenovo, Google, Meta, and more who have backed out of in-person involvement with the show. Consumer Technology Association, the organizer of CES, still plans to push through with the show. So far, LG, Samsung, and Sony are still committed to being physically at the conference.
