Price Slashed on OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G in Nepal

Good news for smartphone shoppers in Nepal: the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G just became significantly more affordable. Originally launched a year ago, this mid-range contender, known for its massive screen and high-resolution camera, is getting a major price reduction, making it an even more tempting option for those on a budget.

A Closer Look at the Nord CE 3 Lite

Design and Visuals
The Nord CE 3 Lite opts for a modern, minimalist aesthetic with flat frames and a clean camera layout, moving away from the curved design of its predecessor. The all-plastic build keeps the device lightweight at around 195 grams. It’s available in two distinct colorways: a vibrant Pastel Lime and a classic Chromatic Gray.

Dominating the front is a large 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD screen. While not an OLED, it delivers a silky-smooth experience thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, making scrolling and gaming feel incredibly fluid.

Performance Core
At its heart, the device runs on the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset. This is a familiar and reliable processor for the mid-range segment, paired with a generous 8GB of RAM to handle multitasking with ease. The phone comes with up to 256GB of internal storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card, a welcome feature for users who need extra space for photos and apps. Out of the box, it runs on OxygenOS 13, based on Android 13.

The Camera Story
The camera system is where OnePlus made a bold move for its Nord line. The CE 3 Lite was the first in the series to feature a 108MP main sensor. This high-resolution camera uses an ISOCELL HM6 sensor capable of capturing detailed images and even providing a 3x lossless zoom, which helps compensate for the lack of a dedicated telephoto lens.

However, it's worth noting that the supporting cast consists of 2MP macro and depth sensors, and an ultrawide lens is notably absent from the setup. For selfies, a 16MP camera is housed in a central punch-hole cutout. Video recording for both front and rear cameras is capped at 1080p.

Battery and Everyday Essentials
Keeping the device running is a robust 5000mAh battery, easily providing a full day of use. When it's time to recharge, the included 67W SuperVOOC fast charger can power up the phone remarkably quickly.

For connectivity, the Nord CE 3 Lite is well-equipped with 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC. In a nod to practicality, OnePlus has also included a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security and the cherished 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio enthusiasts.
