So, what enticing features will the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G offer to captivate users and compete with its segment rivals? Let's find out in this article.
Design
From leaked images circulating recently, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is expected to boast a modern design with an eye-catching punch-hole display on the front, thin bezels around the edges, and flat edges on both the frame and back, exuding a masculine, robust aesthetic.
On the left side of the phone, you'll find the SIM tray and volume rocker, while the power button resides on the right. The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G sports two large circular modules on the back to house the triple-camera system and LED flash, positioned on the right. Additionally, it introduces a new Pastel Lime color variant, a vibrant shade of green that adds a fresh look to the device. The device will also come in a Chromatic Gray option, recently unveiled.
Display and Performance
Recent reports suggest that the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will feature a 6.72-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It's still unclear whether this phone will use an AMOLED panel, as its fingerprint scanner is integrated into the side power button. Impressively, the device boasts a screen-to-body ratio of 91.4% and will be easier to read under sunlight with a peak brightness of up to 680 nits.
Internally, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will pack processing power from the Snapdragon 695 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. On the software front, this smart device is revealed to run on Android 13 with OxygenOS 13 UI straight out of the box.
Battery and Charging Technology
Recently, detailed information about the battery of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has been disclosed by the company. The device will sport a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W SuperVOOC fast charging. This marks a significant improvement in charging speed as the older OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G could only charge at a maximum power of 33W. OnePlus also claims that with this new upgrade, users can charge their phone from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes.
This new technology is also supported by Battery Health Engine, helping to maintain the battery's lifespan. The company claims that this can increase the battery's lifespan by up to 4 years with daily charging.
Camera
In terms of photography capabilities, sources suggest that the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will feature a triple-camera system on the rear, including a 108MP main sensor, utilizing 9-in-1 pixel binning technology to deliver highly detailed and sharp 12MP photos. This camera also benefits from electronic image stabilization (EIS) technology, enabling 3x zoom photography without blur.
The main camera will be supported by two additional sensors and an LED flash. These two camera lenses include a 2MP depth sensor (f/2.4) and a 2MP macro camera (f/2.4). The front of the phone houses a 16MP sensor for users to capture selfies and make video calls.
Pricing and Release Date
As mentioned earlier, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is expected to debut at OnePlus's upcoming event, 'Larger than life – A OnePlus Nord Launch Event,' scheduled for April 4th.
