OnePlus releases the cheapest model in its range, but not so badly equipped


The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has just been made official by the Chinese brand. This is its most total entry level with a large battery, 120Hz screen and fast charging.

After a complicated week, marked by rumors of departure from the French market, OnePlus no doubt wants to reassure its flock. To do this, what better than a launch?

Here is the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite. Its objective is simple: it is OnePlus’ entry-level smartphone, which will try to keep the brand’s credo, namely to provide a fluid experience and performance at a contained price. Because of its price under 350 euros, it will obviously try to address a rather young audience.

A well-filled technical sheet

On paper, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite seems to be equipped as it should be. There is a large 5000 mAh battery powered by a comfortable 67 W charge supposed to ensure 80% charge in 30 minutes. Convenient for those who want to carry a small load before leaving in the evening. OnePlus promises a 4-year lifespan by charging this battery daily. 12 temperature sensors have been integrated to prevent overheating.

For the rest, the technical sheet is relatively muscular with a fast chip, a large screen with good definition and 8 GB of RAM. For the photo, OnePlus has decided to bet almost everything on a main sensor, but still adds two somewhat useless sensors. We would not have been against a small Oled screen, but remember that in this price range, they are becoming increasingly rare.

Here is the complete technical sheet of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite:

  • Photo :
    • 108 megapixel (1/1.67 inch, F/1.75) Samsung ISOCELL HM6 sensor, 9-in-1 pixel binning, EIS (no OIS). OnePlus specifies that this sensor is supposed to offer a “lossless” X3 zoom;
