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.

#OnePlusNordCE2 launching Feb 17. A little more than you'd expect

— OnePlus (@oneplus) February 10, 2022

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.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: Everything we know about Samsung’s next flagship foldable
Though it will feature improvements across the board, the memory crisis might not spare Samsung’s Fold 8 Ultra.
Electronics, Speaker, White Board

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is not the phone that reimagines what a foldable looks like. As that job falls to its sibling, the wider-screen Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Ultra could come as the direct successor to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, with the same tall, narrow design and the same book-style proportions, for the same audience. 

If you've used a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold in the past and think that the shape is perfect for you, the Fold 8 Ultra could be just the right phone for you. It has a redesigned inner display, a substantially larger battery, faster charging, and the new Flex Titanium technology designed to minimize the crease that has troubled Samsung's foldables for years.

Personal Intelligence in Search now connects to Google Calendar
Google Search AI can now read your Calendar and add events automatically

Google is taking another step toward making Search feel less like a search engine and more like a personal assistant. The company has announced that AI Mode's Personal Intelligence can now connect directly to Google Calendar, allowing it not only to reference your schedule but also to create calendar events on your behalf.

Until now, Personal Intelligence mainly pulled information from apps like Gmail and Google Photos to provide more relevant responses. Calendar changes the equation because it becomes the first connected Google app that doesn't just provide context. It can actively act. The feature is rolling out now to users in the United States, with a wider international rollout planned later.
