THE PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE
Overall review.
Plan storage before departure
Offline maps, a few downloaded shows and short videos are easy to plan for. If you shoot a lot of 4K footage, check usable storage after installing your apps and decide when you will back up the clips.
Think about the charger you carry
The 80W figure is for compatible SUPERVOOC hardware. If you pack a single multiport charger for a laptop and phone, check the rate it actually supports for the Nord CE6.
Balance screen size and handling
The 6.78-inch panel gives maps and itineraries room to breathe. Try reaching the top of the display one-handed, ideally with the case you intend to use.
