OnePlus has announced a cheaper version of its already affordable smartphone. Check out the new OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite.
Announced alongside the Nord CE6, the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex, a chipset that OnePlus optimized itself. They claim it is 43% more powerful and has 155% better graphics than the Nord CE4 Lite. It also scored over 1,030,000 in AnTuTu Benchmark.

You also get a big 7,000mAh battery that lasts for up to 81.7 hours of music playback and 26.2 hours of watching YouTube. It is paired with a 45W SUPERVOOC wired charger. The battery remains healthy even after 6 years and supports bypass charging.
It ships with Android 16-based OxygenOS 16 with many AI features. It has passed the MIL-STD-810H military standards.

On the front, we have a 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS display, with a 144Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 1,000-nit peak brightness.
For photography, we have a 50-megapixel main shooter, paired with a less useful 2-megapixel monochrome sensor and an 8-megapixel selfie snapper.

The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite is now in India. The 6GB/128GB model retails for INR20,999 (~Php13,500), the 8GB/128GB is at INR22,999 (~Php14,700), and the 8GB/256GB is at INR25,999 (~Php16,700).
