Motorola Moto G62 (India)
- Potentially lower price point
- Efficient Snapdragon 695 chipset
- Reliable 5G connectivity
- Slow 15W charging
- Less powerful processor compared to the Nord CE 2
- Likely less sophisticated camera system
OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G
- 65W SuperVOOC charging for rapid replenishment
- More powerful MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor
- Potentially better camera performance
- Higher price compared to the Moto G62
- Dimensity 900 may generate more heat under load
- OxygenOS software experience may not appeal to all
Display Comparison
Neither device boasts a standout display. While specific panel details (like peak brightness or color gamut coverage) are absent, the focus here is on processor-driven performance. Bezels are likely comparable given the market segment. The absence of high refresh rate panels on both devices suggests a focus on power efficiency rather than visual fluidity.
Camera Comparison
Without detailed camera specs beyond the chipsets, a direct comparison is limited. However, the market positioning suggests the Nord CE 2 5G likely features a more sophisticated camera system. The Dimensity 900 typically supports higher-resolution image signal processors (ISPs) and more advanced image processing algorithms. The Moto G62 will likely focus on providing adequate image quality for social media sharing, while the Nord CE 2 5G aims for a more versatile and detailed photographic experience. The prevalence of 2MP macro lenses on both devices suggests they are largely marketing features with limited practical utility.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G’s MediaTek Dimensity 900, with its 2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A78 cores, offers a clear advantage in CPU performance over the Motorola Moto G62’s Snapdragon 695 (2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold). The Cortex-A78 architecture is demonstrably more powerful than the Kryo 660 Gold. This translates to faster app loading times, smoother multitasking, and improved performance in graphically intensive games. The Snapdragon 695, built on a 6nm process, is efficient, but the Dimensity 900’s superior core configuration provides a noticeable edge. Both utilize 6nm fabrication, suggesting similar thermal efficiency, but the Dimensity 900 will likely generate more heat under sustained load.
Battery Life
The Moto G62’s 15W charging is a significant disadvantage compared to the Nord CE 2 5G’s blazing-fast 65W charging. While battery capacity isn’t specified, the charging speed difference is paramount. The Nord CE 2 5G can replenish its battery from 0-100% in approximately 32 minutes, while the Moto G62 will take considerably longer – likely exceeding 2 hours. This makes the Nord CE 2 5G ideal for users who frequently need to top up their battery quickly, while the Moto G62 requires more planning around charging cycles.
Buying Guide
Buy the Motorola Moto G62 (India) if you need a reliable 5G smartphone with decent performance for everyday tasks and prioritize a potentially lower purchase price. Buy the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G if you prefer significantly faster 65W charging, a more capable processor for gaming and multitasking, and are willing to spend a bit more for a smoother overall experience.
