On 10th June 2021, OnePlus launched the new model in the Nord series, OnePlus Nord CE 5G. The company made the announcement through an online live stream and revealed the new features of this latest smartphone.

Camera System of Nord CE 5G

OnePlus has always been one of the top choices of users when it comes to camera quality. Be it for photography, video calling, or taking selfies, the photographs produced by a OnePlus are highly distinguishable. The new OnePlus Nord CE 5G comes with a triple rear camera system. The camera setup consists of a 64-megapixel primary sensor with a lens of aperture f/1.79. The primary sensor has electronic image stabilization (EIS) which helps greatly while shooting videos with users being in motion. The secondary camera has a sensor of 8 megapixels with an ultra-wide lens of f/2.25 and the third one is a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor with an f/2.4 lens.

OnePlus can easily substitute heavy gear for a photographer especially while hiking or traveling in busy areas. The images and the videos are of very high quality and quench the need for a good camera. With the pandemic shifting of our work culture to a remote version, users can easily attend video calls with the front camera of Nord CE 5G which features a 16 megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor that also has EIS.

Seems like the rear camera system of the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is the center of attraction as it has multi autofocus options (PDAF+CAF). The shooting options available in the phone for the rear camera are Nightscape, Ultrashort HDR, Panorama, Pro Mode, Portrait, and Smart Scene Recognition. Videos can be recorded in 4K resolution with 30fps. Time-lapse can also be made while doing videography.
