It entered the market and created a brand new smartphone segment with its flagship killers. Then it moved to the full-fledged premium league and claimed that territory with proper flagships of its own. The brand then decided to bring its Never Settling attitude to the mid-range, to enable more people to experience it. If you have not guessed it yet, we are talking about OnePlus.

In a very short span of time, OnePlus has become a household name in the Indian smartphone market. The brand has done so by not only growing vertically when it comes to specs and power but also horizontally by covering more and more price segments. After gaining a solid grip over the premium segment, a couple of years ago, OnePlus decided to enter the mid segment with its Nord range of smartphones. Another addition to the Nord line was the Core Edition series which brought along Nord CE smartphones that aimed to deliver the same Nord level core experience on an even more competitively priced smartphone.

After releasing the OnePlus Nord CE, the Nord CE 2, OnePlus decided to make the Nord CE experience even more pocket friendly and launched the Nord CE 2 Lite last year. The Nord CE 2 Lite did extremely well in the market. So much so that it went on to become the highest selling phone in its segment in India in 2022. OnePlus is now all set to launch the successor of the phone, the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G along with the new Nord Buds, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2.

While the launch of the phone is still a few days away, we have managed to get a few glimpses of the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G and just by those looks, it seems the future of the new CE Lite is going to be quite bright. From what we know so far, the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will deliver the core Nord experience without burning a hole in your pocket. The Nord CE 3’ Lite’s 5,000 mAh battery will come with support for a whopping 67 W SUPERVOOC fast charging support, which is quite rare to see in the segment. This would take the battery of the smartphone from 0 to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes, which means no more waiting for hours to get your phone charged. OnePlus has also kicked this up a notch by adding the same Endurance Edition charging support on the device which usually comes on flagship OnePlus devices.

Another huge bump comes in the camera department where the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will come with a large 108 megapixel main sensor, which is going to take the photography experience on the phone on another level. The secondary telephoto sensor on the device will feature 3x Lossless Zoom which means one can get up close and personal without moving or losing detail.

The phone’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chip which is known for its performance and power efficiency will come with tons of RAM and storage but in case your RAM needs are not fulfilled with what’s on board, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will be coming with 8 GB of Virtual RAM expansion which would allow the users to convert storage into temporary virtual RAM, making the phone’s performance buttery smooth. Adding to that, the chipset is backed with Dual 5G mode network and WiFi 5 for fast and smooth connectivity. Leveling this experience up would be the OxygenOS 13.1 which would not only offer a clean and uncomplicated UI, but also reduce system lags and screen tearing because the OS comes with purpose-built gaming optimisations. And all the action on the OnePlus Nord CE 3.0 will be showcased on a magnificent 6.72 inch FHD display with 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness of 680 nits. This means with the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, you would be set to defeat opponents left, right and center.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G comes in a very unique, vibrant colour, Pastel Lime, which ensures that the phone will turn heads and make people stop and stare. The phone also comes with a simple, no nonsense camera unit design. With the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, OnePlus seems to have gone with a very classic, two camera design without any added pedestal around them. This is especially refreshing to see in a world of bigger and bulkier camera units that not only add heft to the phone but also cover almost half of the phone’s back for no good reason. In best OnePlus tradition, the powerful specs and the classy design will be bundled with a very affordable price tag, which would make the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G a tough smartphone contender to beat.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 also reflect the brand’s minimalist design philosophy and come with a clean, unobtrusive design. The OG Nord Buds were bestsellers, thanks to their ability to blend great sound with ease of use and super battery life. The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 seem set to follow in their audio footsteps and in design terms, feature the same distinctly shiny dot on the back of the buds that made the Nord Buds such a distinct sight. Their sound is likely to be equally distinct, given the brand’s excellent track record and the specs and features the buds are going to be paired with. From what is known so far, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 would feature an extra large 12.4 mm driver unit which would deliver truly immersive sound. The Nord Buds 2 are also going to come with a unique BassWave algorithm that would offer the deep rumble required to make the audio experience punchy.

The launch event for the OnePlus Nord CE Lite 5G and the Nord Buds 2 will be called “Larger than Life,” which means one can expect products with features and specs that are bigger and better than what we have seen in their predecessors. OnePlus has always been a big believer that the brand’s fans should always have access to its events and this remains true of the “Larger Than Life” event, which will be held on April 4, 2023, 7:00 PM IST.

OnePlus is also offering a number of offers and discounts. Those who buy the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G would get free OnePlus products, two months of YouTube Premium free of cost, and would also be able to get added warranty with special discounts and instant bank discounts and offers on the phone are available as well. One can also win up to 850 RedCoins by just referring their friends to the launch event. Come 4 April, a new Nord will rise. And it would be larger than life!
