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.

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.

Ulefone Armor 27T

The Ulefone Armor 27T Pro is a rugged powerhouse that builds upon its predecessor's design cues from the Doogee V20 Pro. The phone's tank-like build makes it resistant to dust and water, with IP68/IP69K certification and MIL-STD-810G standards ensuring it can withstand rough handling. The 6.78-inch IPS LCD display has a 120Hz refresh rate but lacks AMOLED brightness. While decent for general use, 4K content is downscaled to 1080p. The phone's audio capabilities are limited to a single bottom speaker, which may not be sufficient for media or gaming enthusiasts. The camera setup consists of a 50MP main sensor, 64MP night vision camera, and 32MP front camera. While good for casual shots, low-light performance requires a steady hand. The night vision camera is particularly useful, allowing up to 20 meters visibility in complete darkness with infrared lighting. The thermal imaging feature, which uses a FLIR sensor, operates at a lower 9Hz refresh rate compared to the predecessor's 25Hz. While this results in more accurate temperature readings, it may not provide the smoothest video experience. The phone's battery is large, with a 10,600mAh capacity that can last 4-5 days of heavy use or weeks on light usage. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip provides decent performance for everyday tasks but feels dated for more demanding activities like gaming. With 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable to 2TB via microSD), the phone's real-world performance is solid, although not ideal for heavy apps or games at max settings. Overall, the Ulefone Armor 27T Pro excels in its thermal imaging accuracy, rugged durability, and long-lasting battery. Its price point of around $300 makes it a great value if you prioritize these features over top-tier gaming performance.
