OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite has been launched in India as the replacement for last year's Nord CE 3 Lite. The new OnePlus Nord features a number of specification upgrades and a new design. The phone is placed in India's very competitive budget segment, where it competes with devices that offer OLED displays, 5G connectivity, and fast charging support. After using the smartphone for a few days, we’ve evaluated whether it has enough to stand out in this crowded market.

We’ve still got the classics

3.5mm Headphone Jack

Up to 2TB Expandable Storage

The term "We've still got the classics" for the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G implies that the phone still retains a lot of the features that customers enjoy, even though smartphones evolve. One of the standout features is the 3.5mm headphone jack, one that many new smartphones no longer include but is still necessary for those who want to listen to wired headphones. The phone also allows you to expand up to 2TB of storage through a microSD card, so users can have more photos, videos, and apps without running out of space—something that is capped in newer phones. The flat screen design is another classic feature that many users prefer over curved screens because it is more resilient and looks more traditional. Moreover, OxygenOS 14, which is an Android 14-based build, gives you a clean and smooth experience, one true to OnePlus' DNA of fast and responsive software. All of these make the Nord CE 4 Lite 5G a great mix of new performance and the classic features that customers still enjoy and use.

OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite Review

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G is an affordable phone that provides standard features at a low cost. It has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2,100 nits peak brightness, giving a bright and clear view. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip and has 8GB of RAM, making it efficient to carry out daily tasks, but it may be slow for heavy gaming.

The 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor takes decent photos in daylight but fares poorly at night with a lot of noise and less detail. The battery is excellent with a 5,110mAh battery lasting two days. It supports 80W fast charging, which loads around 64% of the battery in 30 minutes. 

User reviews are mixed—there are those who appreciate its strong display and battery life, but others believe that the camera and performance are behind others. Overall, the Nord CE 4 Lite 5G is a good choice for light users but perhaps not the best for those who want premium performance or photography.
