Verdict

Oneplus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is an improved version of the Oneplus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G released in April 2023. 5G network connectivity, a powerful battery and 67W fast charger, fingerprint scanner, 108MP primary camera, 1080p display resolution, and Corning Gorilla protection make the Nord CE 3 Lite a bargain for the price tag. Unfortunately, it does not support 4K video recording, and the IPS LCD deprives users of an immersive user experience.
