Galaxy S21 FE's construction is somewhat lighter and just a little thinner than the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, even though they were released only 6 months apart. Both of these phones use the same Android 11 OS (Operating System), so they should count with all the same operating system features.
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G features just a bit better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. They have a Octa-Core processor and 6 GB of RAM. Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has a screen that's very similar to OnePlus Nord 2 5G's screen, and although the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has a bit worse 1080 x 2340 resolution and a just a bit lower pixel density, they both have a display with the same size.
OnePlus Nord 2 5G and Samsung Galaxy S21 FE count with quite similar memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos, both have exactly the same 128 GB internal storage capacity.

OnePlus Nord 2 5G shoots much better photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for shooting photos or videos in low light environments and lower video frame rate, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G also counts with a lot better 50 megapixels resolution camera in the back.
