Pros and Cons

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

Strengths

The phone has a 4500 milliamp cell that doesn't seem to drop too harshly when gaming or streaming video.
It supports full 5g support with Wi-Fi 6 and dual-cell tech for fast charging (65W) and trickle charging.
The phone's SuperVOOC 65W fast charging can charge the battery from empty in just over half an hour.
The camera output has improved due to the Mediatek Dimension's camera smart feature.
The phone's connectivity is great with full 5g support and Wi-Fi 6.
The phone's display responsiveness was wonderful with no issues during gaming or video streaming.

Weaknesses

Gentian Impact struggled a fair bit on the default lore detail settings, experiencing frame rate drops.
The camera modes can't be accessed by pulling up like on previous OnePluses, which is a shame.
There's no 60fps option for video recording.
The phone's rear camera uses the same sensor tech as the original Nord CE, despite claims of improved performance.
The phone doesn't support 5G in all regions or countries (assumed based on 'great to see you've got full 5g support' statement).
The phone's battery life needs further testing to confirm its longevity and overall performance.

realme C75

Strengths

The phone's IP 69 rating and tough materials make it a durable option, withstanding water submersion for several days without issue.
The integrated metal inner frame helps protect the device from drops, with the phone remaining functional after multiple tests at various heights.
The Armor Shell Glass screen protector is effective in withstanding pressure and impact, with no shattering or cracking observed even at high drop distances.
The phone's feature set is impressive for its price point, including a 90Hz display, loud speakers, large battery, and AI-enhanced camera capabilities.

Weaknesses

While the phone's durability tests were successful, it's unclear how well the device would hold up in real-world situations or with more severe drops.
The frame has shown some scuffing and bending during testing, suggesting potential weaknesses in its construction.
The factory-installed screen protector is prone to damage and may not provide optimal protection against impact.
While the phone's AI features are a nice touch, they may not significantly enhance the overall user experience or justify the device's price.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G promises to deliver exceptional performance at an affordable price point. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, this device boasts impressive specs, including a 6.43-inch AMOLED display, up to 8GB of RAM, and a quad-camera setup led by a 64MP primary sensor. With fast charging support and a large 4500mAh battery, this smartphone appears to be a compelling option for those seeking a reliable and feature-rich device without breaking the bank.

realme C75

The Realme C75 has generated significant buzz with its claims of being "unbreakable". At a lower price point, manufacturers often compromise on durability, but this phone seems to defy that trend. With a robust IP69 rating and the use of tougher materials, it's been put through some rigorous tests - including a 3-day underwater immersion and multiple drop tests from 1m and 1.5m heights. Does it truly live up to its promise?
