5. The device is a core edition of the original Nord device, but it misses out on the iconic alert slider that has been one of the important features of OnePlus’ earliest devices. It’s a three-way physical button that allows users to select a specific profile from Ring, Vibrant or Silent.
6. Another interesting addition to OnePlus Nord CE 5G phone is the introduction of the 3.5mm headphone jack. This seems to be a positive step from OnePlus by retaining the audio jack. It’s worth noting that OnePlus 6 was the last device that featured a 3.5 mm audio jack.
