After a couple of leaks that got people excited, the new OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has been finally announced.
Meant to be an affordable 5G offering, the new OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 octa-core processor with 128GB/256GB of storage, 8GB of physical RAM, and up to 8GB of virtual memory.
A practical device, the new Nord CR 3 Lite boasts a large and fast 6.72-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, albeit it’s only IPS not AMOLED.

What’s more, it has a large 5,000mah battery with 67W fast charging — twice as fast as its predecessor.
Of course, one of the highlights is the cameras. This one boasts a 108-megapixel main shooter. It is joined by a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

To cap things off, the new OnePlus midrange ships with an Android 13-based OxygenOS 13.1 user interface.
The new OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 8GB/128GB has a price of £299 (~Php20,000) in Europe. Pricing and availability in the Philippines are yet to be revealed.
