Design
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is the company’s latest budget device and succeeds the popular OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite. It has an improved design that draws inspiration from nature with its flat-edge and glossy back. The smartphone also comes in two striking color options – Pastel Lime and Chromatic Gray. Its glossy exterior and camera bump give it a premium look, while the device’s 8.3mm thickness and flat-edge design provide a comfortable in-hand feel. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chip, which is not the newest or most powerful option in the market but is good enough for most people looking for a reasonably capable mid-segment smartphone at a reasonable price point. It packs 8GB of RAM and a whopping 256GB storage, which is more than twice the amount offered by most devices in this category.
Display
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has a 6.72-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a screen-to-body ratio of 91.4% and is adaptive to your usage habits, with the screen automatically throttling back to 30Hz when you’re reading or watching movies, and switching up to 120Hz for gaming. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor and runs OxygenOS on top of Android 13. It comes with a 108MP camera sensor with a 9-in-1 pixel binning system and Electronic Image Stabilization. It supports HDR videos and offers fast and smooth software performance.
Camera
If you’re looking for a smartphone with an excellent camera, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is one of the best options. Its 108-megapixel Samsung HM6 sensor does an excellent job of capturing detail and realistic colors in a price range where most cameras oversaturate the colors. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie camera that’s good for snapping quick pictures or video calls. The rear camera features three sensors: a 108-megapixel primary sensor, a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro lens.
Performance
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is a smooth performer that doesn’t let you down when it comes to multitasking or gaming. It is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 that powers the Nord CE 2 Lite last year and it offers decent performance for this price point. It also comes with Android 13-based OxygenOS 13.1 out-of-the-box and will get two major OS updates and three years of security support. The UI feels clean and uncluttered and the company has avoided adding too many bloatware apps. It also sports a large 6.72-inch LCD screen with adaptive refresh that can go from 30Hz to 120Hz depending on your usage patterns. This is a good feature for gaming and video streaming as it allows you to choose your preferred refresh rate to save battery power.
Battery
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has a powerful 5,000mAh battery with 67W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition fast charging. This system is usually seen in the company's flagship phones, and it charges the device from 0% to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. The smartphone also features a smart battery health engine that optimizes charging cycles to preserve the battery's lifespan. It works with 12 temperature sensors and a smart charging chip to prevent the phone from over-charging. It can run for a day with moderate use, which includes browsing the internet, social media, and video streaming. However, heavy usage can drain the battery quickly.
