OnePlus released a device that is being called “the perfect mid-ranger” by a lot of people. It is the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, packing amazing specifications and a 5G-enabled chipset at a very modest price. But the mother company OPPO also came up with similar devices in this portfolio. Since OnePlus just merged with OPPO, now there is a lot of internal rivals and it is very hard to understand which one is the best, especially in the midrange segment. This comparison between Nord CE 5G and OPPO F19 Pro+ will tell you the differences between these devices and hopefully, let you find out which one is the best for you.

Design

Despite it is a sort of remake of the original Nord, OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a more optimized design than OPPO F19 Pro+. On the front side, it has narrower bezels making the panel more elegant. Further, thanks to the narrower bezels, the phone is more compact despite having the same display diagonal as its rival. With its rectangle-shaped camera module, OPPO F19 Pro+ looks more modern but its thicker bezels are a con. You can not see a fingerprint reader on both these phones because it is integrated into the display. The OPPO F19 Pro+ has a better build quality and it comes with the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but I like the design of the Nord CE 5G more.

 

Display

OnePlus Nord CE 5G and OPPO F19 Pro+ are equipped with great AMOLED panels sporting a 6.43-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels, as well as an optical in-display fingerprint reader for authentication. As already mentioned OnePlus Nord CE 5G has narrower bezels, but its front panel is not better only due to its aesthetics. The Nord CE 5G also comes with a higher refresh rate than OPPO F19 Pro+: 90 Hz instead of 60 Hz. That is the main difference between the displays of these phones: the OnePlus handset can provide a smoother viewing experience.

 

Specs & Software

The most advanced hardware belongs to the OnePlus Nord CE 5G. When it comes to the CPU performance, there is no much difference between the Snapdragon 750G by MediaTek and the Dimensity 800U by Qualcomm: both are great midrange processors with 5G support. But with the OnePlus Nord CE 5G, you can get more RAM and more internal storage: the handset comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage, while OPPO F19 Pro+ has just 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The phones run Android 11 out of the box, customized by OxygenOS and ColorOS, respectively.

 

Camera

Despite it has a lower amount of cameras, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G should be able to provide a greater photo quality. It has a superior 64 MP main camera paired with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP camera for macros. With the OPPO F19 Pro+, you get a 48 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth.

 

 

Battery

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a bigger battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh and it should provide a slightly longer battery life despite the OPPO F19 Pro+ has a chipset built with a better production process (7 nm vs 8 nm). On the other hand, the OPPO F19 Pro+ supports faster charging thanks to a power of 50W.

 

Price

The OnePlus Nord CE 5G has a starting price of Rs. 22,999 in India, while OPPO F19 Pro+ starts from Rs. 23,449. Unless you find a street price making the OPPO F19 Pro+ way cheaper, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is a slightly better option due to its higher refresh rate, and great cameras. On the other hand, the 50W fast charging tech found on the OPPO F19 Pro+ is very comfortable and the overall differences are just marginal.
