OnePlus has unveiled the latest devices in its Nord family of products, including the Nord 2T, Nord CE 2 Lite and the first non-phone under the Nord name: Nord Buds.
The Nord 2T replacesthe Nord 2at the top of the pile, while the Nord CE 2 Lite is the most affordable phone in the range.
As far as features and specs go, there’s not a lot different about the Nord 2T compared to the Nord 2. It’s not identical, but the improvements are quite minimal. For instance, where the Nord 2 had the Dimensity 1200 processor, Nord 2T has the MediaTek Dimensity 1300.
Nord 2T has also upgrading the charging speed, from 65W fast-charging to the same 80W SuperVOOC you’ll find in thetop tier OnePlus 10 Pro. That means a 100 per cent charge for its 4500mAh battery in 27 minutes.
Otherwise it’s mostly the same. There’s the same 6.43-inch AMOLED full HD display with 90Hz refresh andHDR10+support.
It even has the same trio of cameras, although this time they’ve been housed in quite a large unit with two massive circles dominating the camera unit for no apparent reason. That trio is made of a 50-megapixel primary, 8-megapixel ultrawide and 2-megapixel monochrome sensor.
It’ll come in two colours: Jade Fog (a soft, pale green) and Grey Shadow (black), and will come in two variants: 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB.

As for the Nord CE 2 Lite, that’s the most affordable Nord yet. It features a 120Hz LCD display with full HD resolution.
It’s powered by the Snapdragon 695 processor, comes with 5G support and 6GB/128GB RAM/storage. It also has a 3.5mm audio port and a microSD card slot for expansion.
It has a triple camera system, but only one of those is worth its place on the back: the primary 64-megapixel sensor. It’s joined by two 2-megapixel cameras; one for depth, the other for macro.
Both phones will be available to buy from 24 May, with the Nord 2T price set at £369 in the UK for the base storage variant. Nord CE 2 Lite will be £279.
Nord Buds join the family as the first non-phone product, and with a price set at just £49, they’ll become something of an impulse buy.
They’re true wireless buds with big 12.4mm titanium coated drivers withDolby Atmos support.
IP55 rating protects them against splashes, and the buds can go 7 hours before needing to be popped back in the charging case. In all, the case and buds get you up to 30 hours of music playback.
