Pros of the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite
Superb AMOLED Display Upgrade: It features a vibrant 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and impressive peak brightness (up to 2100 nits), a major upgrade from the LCD panel of its predecessor.
Massive Battery and Fast Charging: It packs a huge 5,500 mAh battery for long-lasting endurance, combined with very fast 80W wired SUPERVOOC charging, minimizing downtime.
3.5mm Headphone Jack Included: Unlike most modern phones, it retains the 3.5mm audio jack, which is a significant plus for users who prefer wired headphones.
Decent Main Camera with OIS: The main camera uses a reliable 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor and includes Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which helps ensure clearer photos and more stable video recording in its price segment.
Expandable Storage and Dedicated SIM Slot: It offers a flexible hybrid slot that allows users to expand the storage up to 2TB using a MicroSD card.
Cons of the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite
Older Processor (Snapdragon 695): It uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, which is an older, lower-powered processor, resulting in slower performance compared to rivals in the same price range.
Lack of Ultra-Wide Camera: The dual-camera setup only includes the main 50MP lens and a basic 2MP depth sensor, meaning it lacks the versatile ultra-wide lens common on most competitors.
Limited Video Recording: Video capabilities are capped at 1080p @ 30fps, a major limitation as the older chipset does not support 4K video recording at all.
Slower USB 2.0 Port: It is equipped with the older and slower USB Type-C 2.0 port for wired data transfer, which is a disappointing compromise.
Lower Water Resistance Rating: It only has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance (protection from splashes), which is less robust than the IP67 or IP68 ratings offered by some rivals.
