NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The OnePlus Nord 6 is the choice for the fuller experience: its AMOLED display reaches 3,600 nits versus 1,000 nits on the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite, while IP68, IP69K, IP65 and IP69 protection exceeds the CE6 Lite’s IP64. The CE6 Lite is more practical only for buyers who need expandable storage and a leather back.

The Nord 6 pulls ahead in performance with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB, versus the CE6 Lite’s Dimensity 7400 Apex, 8 GB and 256 GB. It also offers 165 Hz versus 144 Hz, 450 ppi versus 392 ppi, and 89.3% usable surface versus 86.5%. For photography, it adds an ultrawide camera and a 1/1.95-inch main sensor versus 1/2.88-inch.

Both batteries sit well above average, but the Nord 6 combines 7,500 mAh and 80 W with the CE6 Lite’s 7,000 mAh and 45 W. For connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 beat Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4; the Nord 6 also adds infrared. The CE6 Lite keeps NFC and expandable storage, but the Nord 6 is the stronger buy unless those two features come first.
