OnePlus launched its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G, yesterday. This phone offers a mid-range processor, a capable camera system, and a long-lasting battery, but with a twist – the battery capacity varies depending on the region. Let’s get into the details.
OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G: Specs and Features
The Nord CE4 Lite 5G boasts a large 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for a more responsive user experience. Powering the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, which is a reliable choice for everyday tasks.
In terms of memory, the phone comes in two configurations: 8GB of RAM with either 128GB or 256GB of storage. However, availability of these options may vary depending on your location.
The camera system on the Nord CE4 Lite 5G is decent for a mid-range phone. On the back, you’ll find a dual-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) for sharper photos and a 2MP depth sensor for improved portrait shots. The front-facing camera for selfies and video calls comes in at 16MP.
Software and Other Features
The Nord CE4 Lite 5G runs on the latest Android 14 operating system with OnePlus’ own OxygenOS 14.0 on top. This custom interface provides a familiar Android experience with some additional features and customizations from OnePlus.
The phone also includes a convenient in-display fingerprint scanner for secure unlocking and supports NFC for contactless payments. Additionally, you can expand the storage capacity further using a microSD card (up to 2TB).
