The OnePlus Nord CE 2 is far from a secret for the Chinese phone manufacturer, but we’re expecting to learn everything about the next gen cheap phone during the company’s next big live stream.
That’s set for later today (February 17) with the event starting at 8:30am ET / 5:30am PT / 1:30pm GMT, or 12:30am AEDT on February 18.
The launch is set to take place on the company’s own website and through YouTube. You’re able to watch the live stream for the OnePlus Nord CE 2 here.
Over the next few hours, we’ll be running you through everything we know so far about the Nord CE 2 as well as any last-minute leaks that pop up before the launch. Then when it begins, we’ll be talking you through everything announced on stage.
Welcome to TechRadar’s OnePlus Nord CE 2 live blog. Throughout the day we’ll be talking you through what we know about the next-gen cheap phone from the company, and what to expect at the launch.
The virtual launch is set to start at 8:30am ET / 5:30am PT / 1:30pm GMT. It’s a bit of a weird time for a smartphone launch, but we’ll be tuning in during the event to talk you through everything announced on stage.
OnePlus has a habit of revealing a lot about its smartphones ahead of time, so we know quite a bit about the Nord CE 2 so far. In fact, TechRadar exclusively revealed the design of the Nord CE 2 earlier this week.
We also know the phone will come with 65W fast-charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 5G support, a 4,500mAh battery and a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset inside.
This is also set to be the first phone from OnePlus that features a microSD card slot, which is confirmed to be compatible with 1TB cards. That’s a big change as the company hasn’t ever included expandable storage.
