OnePlus has just announced a new ‘Nord’ phone, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite. The device launched in India first, as expected, and it’s exactly what we thought it would be. A somewhat compelling budget device.
Let’s talk about its design first. As you can see it has a flat display, with a centered display camera hole at the top. The bezels are rather thin, but they’re not uniform. All the physical buttons sit on the right-hand side.
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite has a dual camera setup and a 120Hz display
On the back, there are two vertically-aligned cameras in the top-left corner. Those cameras are a part of the same camera island. That’s also where an LED flash is, while OnePlus’ logo is centered on the back. The phone also has a flat frame all around.
The device includes a 6.67-inch fullHD+ (2400 x 1080) OLED display. That panel has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. Its peak brightness goes up to 1,200 nits (2,100 partial brightness), by the way.
The Snapdragon 695 SoC from Qualcomm fuels this phone. OnePlus also included 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM here, and you can choose between 128GB and 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. That storage is expandable via a microSD card, by the way, up to 1TB.
A 5,500mAh battery is also included, and the phone supports 80W charging
A 5,500mAh battery sits inside of this phone. The device supports 80W SuperVOOC wired charging. It also has stereo speakers, and it’s IP54 certified, which means it’s both splash and dust-resistant.
OnePlus included an in-display fingerprint scanner here. Android 14 comes pre-installed on the phone, with OxygenOS 14 included on top of it. There is also a hybrid dual SIM setup here (nano + nano / microSD).
A 50-megapixel main camera (Sony’s LYT-600 sensor, f/1.8 aperture, OIS) is backed by a 2-megapixel depth sensor (f/2.4 aperture). On the front, you’ll find a 16-megapixel unit (f/2.4 aperture).
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite comes in three color options
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite measures 162.9 x 75.6 x 8.1mm, while it weighs 191 grams. The phone comes in Mega Blue, Super Silver, and Ultra Orange colors. Do note that the latter color will stay exclusive to India.
The phone’s 128GB storage variant is priced at INR19.999 ($240), while the 256GB storage option costs INR22,999 ($276).
