Last year we had the illustrious presence of a smartphone that, in addition to being very beautiful, was relatively fast, the Nord CE. And following this same pace, a little less than a year later we brought to Roda Liso the successor of this line from OnePlus, the Nord CE 2. Will this line continue to thrive after this second release?

Nord CE 2 is not sold in Brazil yet, so you can only find it on import sites, like Aliexpress, and there It’s costing $1,600.00.
As for the games, we have a total of 6 names: Asphalt 9, Call Of Duty Mobile, Free Fire MAX, Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile e Life After.
Competitor
As a competitor of Nord CE 2, we will have in the ring the Galaxy M62from Samsung, a smartphone a little older, but that gives a lot to talk about in its specs.
Finally, here’s our classic disclaimer: the Nord CE 2 is a mid-range device, so all the games we play here are in medium or standard quality.
Asphalt 9
Our list opens with Asphalt 9. I’ll tell you right away that at the beginning of the gameplay there was a lot of stuttering, but overall the performance was ok, the game remained stable and without much fluctuation. Nord CE scored 30 frames on average, with 98% stability and 9:00h of autonomy.
As for the M62, it had a result of 37 FPS on average, but with only 74% stability and 6:30h of autonomy.
⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ for both devices.
COD Mobile
Call of Duty Mobile, or CODzera for those closest to you. The game ran super well and we didn’t have any notable problems while playing. Nord CE caught that same 40 FPS, with 100% stability. What impressed was once again the absurd high autonomy: 08:05h of battery lifeis this smartphone the same as the Realme GT Master, which forges the results?
And of course, let’s not forget the M62, which took an average of 50 frames, with 100% stability and 9:05h of autonomy.
⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ for Nord CE 2.
Free Fire MAX
Let’s go to that usual Frifas, huh? Nothing special here either, as Nord CE took the hit and caught 59 frames at 100% stability, with 8:10h of battery life.
The M62 also excelled in Free Fire, reaching 60 FPS, with 100% stability. As for autonomy, it tied with the competitor, also giving us 8:10h off the plug.
✔️Village smooth wheel✔️ for both smartphones.
Genshin Impact
Once again the cell killer performing for the game test. The gameplay was not so bad, as the game stabilized at a reasonable FPS at times, the problem is that the rest of the time, the performance was below the acceptable line. Overall, Nord CE caught an average of 26 frames, with a stability of 96% and a range of 6:55h.
The M62 had pretty much the same result, with 26 FPS and 95% stability, but with 4:55h of battery life.
❌Seal Does Not Rotate ❌ for both cell phones.
PUBG Mobile
PUBG as always is defined as “completely satisfactory” as the performance here always comes out on top. if you call, Nord CE scored 40 frames on average, with 100% stability and 8:20h of battery life.
The M62 had pretty much the same result again, scoring 39 frames on average, with 99% stability and 9:30h duration.
⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ for the two tested.
Life After
Life After always appears here to close our list. Nord CE gave us a nice surprise with the performance in this game, since it hit 58 FPS on average, with 88% stability and autonomy of 7:25h.
The Galaxy M62 has unfortunately not been tested in this game, so we will have no competition this round.
✔️Village smooth wheel✔️ for Nord CE 2, quite impressive I would say.
Temperature
As always, we set the room temperature to the classic 24°C. After a few games of COD Mobile, Nord CE 2 has increased its temperature by 10°C. For comparison purposes, the M62 varied 9°C in its temperature 🔥🔥.
Verdict
The time has come to analyze the results of Nord CE 2. Let’s get to the facts: it had a regular result in the games we tested, with a call to Life After that actually ran super well. The problem here is not the gameplay, but the suspect battery life that this device brings. Honestly, 9:00h of duration during a game is too much for 4500mAh, don’t you think? Well, about that we’ll do a detailed test on him to make sure how much this boy can handle, but until then, the warning is.
For the rest, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 receives a ⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ with the graphics on medium.
