OnePlus is all set to launch a new budget smartphone this week in India. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is said to be the cheapest 5G phone from the brand. So far, we have learned about the phone’s internals and even the rumored pricing. In this article, we are rounding up all the details learned so far about the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

Design and Display

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will be a rebranded version of the Realme 9 Pro 5G that launched a few months back in India. As you’d expect, there will be a trio of camera sensors on the back with a patterned design around the camera island. It will boast a punch-hole screen which will be a regular LCD panel.

OnePlus will indeed be going with an LCD panel for the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G, mainly to keep the cost low. The phone will have a 6.58-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a Full-HD+ resolution. It will have thin bezels on three sides, but at the bottom, it will have a visible chin.

Cameras on the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G

On to the cameras, we will see the phone feature a selfie camera placed in the upper left corner. It will be a 16MP sensor for shooting selfie shots and for making video calls.

The smartphone will have a triple rear camera system with a 64MP main lens, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth-assist lens. As said above, to keep the price down, we won’t see any ultra-wide or telephoto snappers on the phone.

It will come with camera features like Dual View Video and Nightscape mode.

Hardware and Software

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will pack the current popular budget 5G chipset – Qualcomm Snapdragon 695. For those unaware, it is an octa-core chipset that powers most of the new 5G budget phones from brands like Realme, Xiaomi, and others.

That chipset will be paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Although it isn’t confirmed, we expect it to have a microSD card slot for additional storage. The phone will house a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Unfortunately, the phone will lack an alert slider, which is there on almost all OnePlus phones right now. As for security, it will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The smartphone will boot on OxygenOS 11 and is expected to come with Android 11 out of the box.

Pricing, Colors, and Sale details

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is said to come at a starting price of Rs. 19,999 (~$261) for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The top model with 8GB RAM + 128GB storage is rumored to cost Rs. 21,999 (~$285).

We expect the pricing to go even lower with bank discounts. The phone’s price could go as low as Rs. 17,999 (~$235) for the base model.

The smartphone will come in Black and Blue colors and is tipped to go on sale starting from April 30 in India.
