When compared to the previous model, the Nord CE 3 Lite, the new OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite inherits several features from the Nord CE4, which is largely a good thing. Be aware that India has a somewhat different model with the same name. There are a few options that may also be confusing to you, but let’s start with the advantages.
Design and Display Upgrades
The phone switches to an OLED panel from its predecessors’ LCDs. Using the same emissive materials as the OnePlus 11, it’s a good panel as well. It is a 6.67-inch display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels (20:9). Its peak brightness of 1,200 nits (local brightness can reach 2,100 nits for the entire panel) is a significant improvement over the 680 nits of the model from the previous year. The fingerprint reader is now positioned beneath the display rather than on the side, which is an added convenience.
Battery and Charging Improvements
The 5,500mAh battery that powers the Nord CE4 Lite has a 10% larger capacity. That is the Indian model’s capacity. Instead of a 5,110mAh battery, the worldwide edition features one that is 110mAh larger than the CE 3 Lite.
In any case, the charging power has been increased to 80W, so 52 minutes for the 5,500mAh model is still a respectable length of time to reach 100%. With that bigger battery, you can watch YouTube nonstop for 20 hours.
Colours
Three colours are available for the phone:
Super Silver, Mega Blue, and Ultra Orange, which are only available in India.
Charging Accessories
With the included USB A-to-C cable, you may charge the device via the USB-C (USB 2.0) connector. However, keep in mind that only the Indian version comes with the required charger; in Europe, you will need to bring your own. Alternatively, you might use a USB-PD charger, although this has a 55W maximum charging speed.
Light Weight
The new model weighs 191g and is 8.1mm thinner than the Nord CE 3 Lite, which was 8.3mm and 195g.
Performance and Camera
The Snapdragon 695 powers the phone, for whatever reason. Indeed, it is the same chipset found in the Nord CE 2 Lite and 3 Lite. Additionally, there is no improvement on the 128/256GB storage (UFS 2.2) and 8GB RAM (LPDDR4X) that it is paired with.
