OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G suits buyers looking for a large, smooth display, 5G connectivity, and a high-resolution camera. Its 6.59-inch display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 401 ppi; that pixel density is higher than on most phones launched around the same time. A 120 Hz refresh rate was typical then, so pixel density—not a comparative edge for the refresh rate—is the display's notable specification.
Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with support for 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G bands. NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Dual Nano-SIM are also included. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in a 6 GB / 128 GB configuration. Storage is expandable.
The 64 MP camera has an f/1.7 aperture, among the brightest of its time, and its resolution is higher than that of most phones launched around then. It does not have optical image stabilization. The 5000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging, figures typical for phones of that period. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695, and the display uses IPS LCD technology.
Overall, design and display, performance and hardware, camera, and battery are typical for the phone's time. With a NeoScore of 5.6, it is a fit for buyers who prioritize a high-density display, 5G, and wired charging over optical image stabilization in the camera.
