OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G has officially launched in India. If you have followed OnePlus then you would know that the CE Lite series devices are meant to bring the company’s most meaningful technologies to the more affordable segment. And by more affordable we mean phones priced under Rs 20,000. The Nord CE4 Lite is one such phone. It will go on sale on June 27, 12 noon and is priced starting at Rs 19,999. But the big deal this time is how much the Nord CE4 Lite offers to users despite its relatively pocket-friendly price.

Essentially, there are upgrades in all areas compared to its predecessor, the Nord CE 3 Lite, of which, here are the top 5 reasons why you should consider the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite:

Reason 1: Long-lasting battery that helps you go further

Battery life is very important, right? Well, the Nord CE4 Lite delivers on that. If you thought the flagship OnePlus 12’s 5,400mAh battery was too big, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite packs a 5,500mAh battery that comes with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging. And the best part is that the charger is inside the box.

The Nord CE4 Lite offers the best battery life of any phone you can find at this price, even better than the Nord CE3 Lite and far better than its competitors. For reference, the battery of the Nord CE4 Lite can deliver up to 20.1 hours of YouTube video playback or up to 47.62 hours of video calls on a single charge. In simple words, with moderate to heavy usage, one can easily get around 1.5 to 2 days of battery life on a single charge with the Nord CE4 Lite. Fun fact – the Nord CE4 Lite also supports reverse wired charging, which is perfect for charging your TWS headphones or other accessories or, in an emergency, a second phone!

Reason 2: One of the best displays in this segment

While the Nord CE3 Lite had a good LCD display, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite features an upgraded 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,100 nits. Even with 1,200nits in high-brightness mode, you can rest assured that brightness issues can be a thing of the past with the Nord CE4 Lite. And of course, the OLED panel ensures that the phone displays brilliant colours. So, whether it’s endless scrolling on social media, or watching your favourite show on OTT, the display on the Nord CE4 Lite 5G won’t let you down.

Reason 3: Aqua Touch functionality

After being introduced with the premium OnePlus 12 series and then making its way to the Nord CE 4, the Aqua Touch functionality has now come to the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite. To give you the background: Aqua Touch uses clever software to detect water droplets on the display or your wet fingers. Once it identifies moisture, it adjusts the touch sensitivity accordingly. Of course, everything happens behind the scenes and in a matter of milliseconds. The result? Swipes register flawlessly as well as taps and touches land perfectly 95 percent of the time (almost), even if your fingers are wet or there are droplets on the screen.

The Aqua Touch feature is a practical feature that is slowly making its way into the 2024 OnePlus smartphone range, and it is a feature that other brands should start adopting in their smartphones as well.

Reason 4: Reliable camera system

The biggest update on the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is in the camera department, with OnePlus using a 50MP Sony LYT600 sensor in the phone’s primary rear camera. And yes, there’s OIS this time around. This means the Nord CE4 Lite’s camera captures photos with good colour reproduction and plenty of detail. Even in low light, the use of a larger sensor ensures that photos are well exposed and come out sharp.

Reason 5: Smooth and good RAM management

In a world of phones that usually come with 12GB of RAM in high-end offerings, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite keeps it simple by offering 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM in its 128GB and 256GB storage variants. However, don’t go by the numbers alone because the 8GB of RAM on the Nord CE4 Lite coupled with the OxygenOS 14 software is capable of giving you the smooth and fast performance that OnePlus phones are known for. This, of course, is possible with the help of OnePlus’ proprietary RAM-Vita and ROM-Vita technology, borrowed from the company’s flagship phones. With this, the Nord CE4 Lite 5G can keep up to 26 applications active in the background simultaneously. Additionally, one can expect the Nord CE4 Lite to retain its seamless user experience for years to come.

One of the best in this area

To sum up, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is a great smartphone option for those with a budget of less than Rs 20,000. It offers a lot of worthwhile technology to the users and on top of that, it gives them the classic OnePlus experience at a low price.

With a massive 5,500mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, a capable camera system equipped with a 50MP Sony LYT600 sensor, a beautiful and bright AMOLED display, as well as features like Aqua Touch and great performance due to efficient RAM management, the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is a great package in its segment. In other words, it is a phone worth your trust and money.
