OnePlus has refreshed its budget-range Nord lineup with the launch of the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G smartphone. The smartphone brings minor upgrades over the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite predecessor including a bigger battery, faster charging, and a new display. Let’s take a look at the detailed specifications, pricing, and availability.
OnePlus finally ditched an LCD panel from the previous generation Nord smartphones with an immersive AMOLED one. OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite has a stunning 6.67-inch FHD+ (2,400 x 1,080px) AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate support, ensuring a buttery smooth scrolling experience.
There is no upgrade in the processor, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite still features the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor that was used on the last two generations of the Nord CE Lite smartphone- the Nord CE 3 Lite and Nord CE 2 Lite. It packs up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage which is further expandable via microSD card.
The device runs on Oxygen OS 14 based on Android 14 out of the box. OnePlus promises two major Android updates (up to Android 16) and three years of security patches for the Nord CE 4 Lite. It boasts a massive 5,500mAh battery with 80W fast wired and 5W reverse wired charging support.
Speaking about cameras, the Nord CE 4 Lite features a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor with OIS support coupled with two useless spec-filler 2MP depth and macro cameras. There is a 16MP shooter on the front for capturing selfies and video chats.
OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite is priced at Rs 19,999 (~$240) for the base 8GB + 128GB variant, while the 8GB + 256GB variant retails at Rs 22,999 (~$275/ £299). It comes in three beautiful color options – Super Silver, Mega Blue, and Ultra Orange, which is going to be India-exclusive. The smartphone is up for pre-order in the EU, with open sales beginning July 2024.
