OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G has 65W charging, coming on February 17

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G will get its official unveiling on February 17, and the company has circulated a teaser showing the rear camera module to build anticipation, plus it has revealed a few key facts from the spec sheet. The Nord CE 2 5G is the sequel to the Nord CE, released in June 2021, which provided great mid-range device value.

What about the Nord CE 2 5G? The teaser image shows a very different camera module to the first Nord CE. This time it’s a rectangular shape and houses two cameras and two smaller apertures, potentially for another camera and a flash, or a flash and an additional sensor for focusing. The Nord CE had three cameras — a 64-megapixel main, an 8MP wide-angle, and a 2MP monochrome camera.

OnePlus will also add its 65W SuperVOOC fast charging system to the Nord CE 2 5G, which should see the battery race to about 60% capacity in just 15 minutes, and that should be enough for a full day’s use. It’s also about twice as fast as the charging offered by the first Nord CE. The new phone will have a microSD card slot capable of supporting 1TB cards, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack on the body, both of which are unusual features on flagship phones today.

The price hasn’t been mentioned yet, but OnePlus does say it’ll be more affordable than the 400 British pound OnePlus Nord 2. The first Nord CE cost 300 pounds, so this could mean the sequel will be around the same price despite the improved specification. We’re hoping OnePlus pays attention to the screen this time around, which was the main feature that let the first model down. The Nord CE, just like the Nord 2, wasn’t released in the U.S. but was found in the U.K., India, and several other regions. It’s not known if this will change for the Nord CE 2 5G.

OnePlus will show off the Nord CE 2 5G on February 17, but if its treatment of the OnePlus 10 Pro is anything to go by, it will drip feed more specification details and information about the phone ahead of that day.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio makes me want to ditch the AirPods Pro

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds are among a half-dozen gadgets OnePlus launched at its Cloud 11 event. These earbuds intend to elevate your sound experience with a rich and highly customizable audio profile, Google's Fast Pair support, high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio through the LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth audio codecs, Dolby Audio, and noise cancellation.

While these features have essentially been carried over -- and slightly improved -- over the first generation of the OnePlus Buds Pro launched last year, the Buds Pro 2 are equipped with spatial audio capabilities that help create a realistic and experiential 3D audio space around you. Along with spatial audio, the earbuds also support head tracking to simulate an ambiance that changes as you move your head around.

Yes, we really are completely spoiling the OnePlus 11 and Buds Pro 2 launch
The OnePlus 11 and the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.

Do you think you know all about the OnePlus 11? What about the OnePlus Buds Pro 2? It’s probably fair if you do consider yourself well-informed about them both. After all the leaks and OnePlus’s decision to launch the phone and earbuds in China during CES 2023, there’s a good chance you feel pretty clued up on the next big things from OnePlus.

While you may have had a glance at them already, and know the new phone will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, plus have seen the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will have Spatial Audio support, have you had a really good close look at the products? No, probably not. But we have, and in the interests of making the launch event almost entirely superfluous, we’re going to show both products off more right now.

Event teaser for The OnePlus 11 "Cloud 11" event.

OnePlus is planning on starting the new year off with a bang by revealing the much-anticipated OnePlus 11. Launching on February 7 during the company's annual first-quarter showcase, the OnePlus 11 boasts the return of two user-favorite features: the company's signature alert slider and Hasselblad photography integration — both of which were absent on the OnePlus 10T.

Although OnePlus is still keeping most of the official details about the OnePlus 11 under wraps until February, there have been plenty of leaks and rumors surrounding the phone — and they've painted it as a worthy successor to the OnePlus 10T, the company's most recent flagship.
