The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G runs on OxygenOS 11.3 based on Android 11. It’s disappointing that four months after the public release and ten months after the first beta of Android 12, OnePlus is still launching a new OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G phone with Android 11.

However, while we didn’t feel any real improvement in real-world performance with this feature, having the cores running at high clock rates all the time does have a very real impact on battery life. As such, we feel this is largely a pointless feature, as any good CPU scheduler should already put the CPU clocks where they need to be without noticeable lag and without ruining the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G phone battery
life of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G phone. However, OnePlus is known to have a very conservative CPU scheduler to save battery on the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G phone, so there may be benefits to enabling this feature in some special cases.
While we prefer facts over conspiracy theories, it’s easy to see why the company would choose to release the phone this way. The Nord CE 2 5G will get two major Android updates during its lifecycle. This means it will get Android 12 and eventually Android 13. You can see that launching Android 11 means the company now has to worry about one less Android version in the future. If it launches Android 12, OnePlus will be forced to promise to deliver Android 13 and then Android 14 as part of its two-update commitment. Of course, OnePlus is not the only company to do this, it’s a systemic problem for the Android ecosystem.
Performance
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset. It features an octa-core CPU design, including 2 Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz, along with a Mali-G68 GPU. In terms of memory, OnePlus has opted for the slower LPDDR4X, with 6GB or 8GB available, and UFS 2.2 storage, with just 128GB as standard. You can expand the storage further with a microSD card.

The Dimensity 900 performs well in everyday use. Opening and scrolling through apps is mostly a fast and smooth experience. Multitasking isn’t a problem either, as even the base model comes with a decent amount of system memory.
Like other Oppo-fied OnePlus phones, the Nord CE 2 5G includes a performance mode in the battery settings. This sets the A55 cores to their maximum 2.0GHz clock speed, while the A78 cores can fluctuate between their maximum clock speed of 2.4GHz and a new minimum clock speed of 1.8GHz. Preventing the cores from throttling during downtime can help improve responsiveness in some cases, as the cores are always running at their maximum or high speed, so the time spent accelerating to full clock speed is essentially zero.
