The recently launched OnePlus Nord CE6 is priced under €300 and features impressive specifications, including a 6.78-inch 144Hz display and an 8,000 mAh battery. However, it will only receive two Android OS upgrades, which is less than its predecessor, the OnePlus Nord CE5, that is set to get three updates. This means the new device will max out at Android 18, while the CE5 could reach Android 19.
Despite advertising a “Fast and Smooth for 6 years” experience, OnePlus has clarified that this refers to system fluency and performance rather than guaranteed updates. Information regarding software support has not been readily provided by the company, and it has faced criticism for lack of transparency on this issue.
As OnePlus navigates recent changes, including staff reductions and a potential merger with Realme, its future operations in Europe are under evaluation. The company is also experiencing price hikes across its product range, including the OnePlus 15 and other devices.
