For cameras, the Nord CE 6 will feature a 50MP primary sensor with dual-axis optical image stabilisation (OIS). On the front, the phone will house a 32MP autofocus selfie camera, the same sensor seen on the Nord 6. Both the front and rear cameras will support 4K video recording.
On the software front, the Nord CE 6 will ship with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. The gallery app will include AI-powered features such as AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, and AI Portrait Glow.
