OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has been launched in India. The smartphone starts at a price of Rs 19,999 and goes up to Rs 20,000. If you are interested to buy the phone, here is everything you need to know.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has been launched in India alongside an affordable pair of wireless earbuds dubbed the Nord Buds 2. The smartphone is the successor to the Nord CE 2 Lite, which launched last year and brings some upgrades in design as well as specifications. One of the key highlights of the Nord CE 3 Lite is its camera, since it is the first Nord phone to offer a 108-megapixel primary camera sensor. The phone also supports fast charging technology and also bundles an 80W superVOOC charger in the box.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite comes in two colour options — Pastel Lime and Chromatic. We got the Lime colour option for review and it looks quite refreshing and stands out from the crowd. The company has also played around with the design a bit, but in my opinion, it looks a lot like some of the recently launched Realme phones. It equips two large camera modules coupled with LED flash. On the front, the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G includes a hole punch display with minimal bezels all around. The best thing is its weight. The phone is extremely lightweight and evenly balanced throughout. It is easy to use the phone with one hand despite the large form factor. However, it can be a little tough to fit it inside your jeans pocket.
