In a launch event called, “Larger than Life”, OnePlus took the wraps off the much talked about OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G and the OnePlus Nord Buds 2. The OnePlus Nord series came into existence a few years ago when OnePlus decided to branch out into a more affordable segment, making the OnePlus experience and its ethos even more accessible to the masses.
Then came the Nord core edition (CE) series aimed at providing the core experience that a Nord offered but at an even more affordable price. The CE series also had its Lite variants to cater to those with limited budgets but still wanting the OnePlus experience. The first Nord CE Lite did very well in the market, and its successor, the Nord CE 2 Lite went on to become the best selling phone in its segment in 2022.
Now, OnePlus has added a new CE Lite to the series, the Nord CE 3 Lite 3 5G. And it promises to be just as popular as its bestselling predecessors. It packs in some very impressive features, including support for 67W SuperVOOC fast charging. OnePlus is the one brand that made fast charging the norm in the tech world and the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G’s massive 5,000 mAh battery gets charged from 0 to 80 per cent in just half an hour.
The Battery Health Engine keeps the battery from aging prematurely, increasing the lifespan by up to 4 years of daily charging. Another highlight of the phone is its massive 108 megapixel camera sensor, backed by 9-in-1 pixel binding for detail rich, natural and brighter pictures. The sensor also comes with support for 3x lossless zoom, which means you would be able to capture close ups without having to move or compromising the quality of the image.
Fast performance runs in OnePlus’ blood and the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has the same blood flowing through its veins. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset which not only is extremely efficient when it comes to gaming or other power hungry chores but also is quite battery-saving.
This is backed by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB/ 256 GB storage options. The Nord CE 3 Lite 5G comes with virtually expandable RAM, which means the phone will take storage GBs and convert it into RAM GBs, if and when needed, delivering a buttery smooth performance even when things get hectic. And of course, it runs on OnePlus’ famous uncluttered and clean OxygenOS interface. The Nord CE 3 Lite 5G comes with Android 13 out of the box, topped with OxygenOS 13.1, and assured OS and security updates as well.
The cherry on this particular OnePlus cake has to be the phone’s display. It comes with a gorgeous 6.72 inch full HD display with 120 Hz refresh rate and 680 nits peak brightness, ensuring you get a smooth sailing scrolling experience and a readable display even under the harshest of suns.
Combine this with the classy design, dynamic colour options like Pastel Lime and Chromatic Gray, and top it with an extremely pocket-friendly starting price of Rs. 19,999 and you have a phone that leaves no stone unturned to make heads turn and jaws drop.
The Nord CE 3 Lite 5G was not the only star product launched at”Larger than Life.” Accompanying the phone were the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 that follow the brand’s tradition of delivering premium features at an affordable price. The TWS come with high-end features like high quality active noise cancellation (ANC) and massive 12.4mm drivers, something which is quite rare to see at their price of Rs 2,999, While their ANC keeps noise out even in the most crowded places, the OnePlus’ BassWave algorithm enhances bass without compromising on clarity, ensuring you get great audio. The Buds can easily switch between devices, are easy to use and come with 5 hours worth of battery on a single charge while the case can offer 27 hours of battery with AAC and ANC on. The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are extremely lightweight at 4.7 grams each, and come with IP55 sweat and water resistance that make them the perfect gym buddy. The case of the Nord Buds 2 is made of eco-friendly, recycled materials and is sleek enough to fit even in the skinniest jeans’ pocket without any trouble.
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will be available from 11 April onwards at OnePlus.in, Amazon.in, OnePlusExperience Stores and authorized stores, while the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 will be available on the same date at OnePlus.in, Amazon.in, Flipkart.com, Myntra.com, OnePlus Experience Stores and select partner stores.
