OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G

“The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a good mid-range phone with equally good features. However, the almost equally expensive non-Lite version offers much more.”

“At the end of the day, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is not only hard to remember as a name, it's hard to understand its purpose in an already crowded market! The phone is merely £20 cheaper than the non-Lite version, should we really have that much segmentation in budget phones, OnePlus? But worst of all, it is the overall package that doesn't add up: the CE 2 Lite 5G compromises with screen quality, camera quality, haptics... That would have been a compromise worth accepting if it was a good deal, but unfortunately the phone is still quite pricey.”

“The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a solid affordable smartphone, but it finds itself undercut by cheaper rivals and outmatched by the superior OnePlus Nord CE 2. It won’t let anyone down, but there are simply better and more exciting options out there.”

“The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a smartphone that impresses across the board, from the high performance standards, to the smooth screen, to the solid main camera sensor. In addition, the fast-charging capability is excellent. However, battery life proved a bit of a letdown, which came as a surprise given its 5000mAh capacity. If endurance isn’t a big issue for you, then this is still a good handset, but most phones of a similar price tend to last longer.”
