Recently, I had a chance to go hands-on with it and spend some time with the phone. So, in this article I want to let you know the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite Price In Nepal, Specs Availability.

Unboxing Experience

About the unboxing experience, you get a typical OnePlus Nord box in that bright blue color with the branding of the Nord. Lift that lid up, and you have the small compartment that holds your free silicone case.

Nothing special, these are not color-matched like you get with some of their more premium devices. You got the sim ejector tool here, a load of documentation, lots of stickers here, and the red cable club membership card. Then there’s the phone itself with this plastic around it. So when this peels back it shows, it is in really nice new finish, as we shall show later in greater detail.

Coming to the accessories, you get your 80W SuperVOOC fast charger and a USB Type-C to Type-A cable in signature OnePlus red color. The accessories and everything are exactly the same for both the colors, so I’m only unboxing the phone once.

OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite Overview

Both the blue and super silver versions of the phone look amazing. Personally, I prefer the blue because it’s such a vibrant color that looks even better in real life. The camera may not capture its true look. The phone is made of plastic with a glossy back, and there’s no matte option. An ultra-orange color is coming soon, which will be interesting to see in person.

The super silver has a mirror finish, so it picks up fingerprints and smudges easily. Both colors are prone to fingerprints, but they don’t scratch as easily as glass due to the plastic build. Overall, I like both finishes, but I’m curious to hear which color you prefer, let me know in the comment box

Design & Build Quality

Coming to the phone itself, talking about the design and build quality. It’s simple, minimal, and elegant to look at. You’ve got flat sides, a flat front and back, and rounded corners that make the phone comfortable to hold.

It looks premium-it definitely looks more expensive than its price. It weighs 191g and is 8.1mm thick. So, there’s an IP54 rating, meaning it’s splash resistant. You can take it out in light drizzle if it’s raining outside, but other than that, don’t really go swimming or dip it into a pool or anything.

But it does have some nice features, like the ability to expand storage via microSD up to 2TB. There’s a headphone jack for those still using wired headphones.

However, it’s missing some little things you expect at this price: no HDR support on the phone as a whole. I think this is a limitation of the processor and not really the panel.

There’s no HDR in YouTube, no HDR in Netflix or Amazon Prime. There’s also no wide-angle camera here, just two cameras on the back, one of which is a 2MP macro

. There’s no noise cancellation microphone, which is weird. There’s no NFC either, but okay, NFC is more of a premium feature, so that’s that.

Display

The display on the Nord CE 4 Lite. It’s a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, whereas the previous editions had an IPS panel. It’s a Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it’s an 8-bit panel with 600 nits of typical brightness, 1,200 nits in high-brightness mode, and 2,100 nits in peak brightness.

So, it does get plenty bright, even for outdoor usage—you should be fine. Well, bezels around this display are actually quite slim.

Not the bottom one, as that’s fairly thick. With this, aside from that point, the entire phone has quite the looks but nothing like HDR here, either; I consider this to be mainly related to processor capacity since HDR Playback is just not supported with the Snapdragon 695 processo

r. Other than this, I loved this display for the most part. It’s smooth, it gets plenty bright, the colors are nice, and just using the phone in day-to-day tasks, like scrolling through social media, watching YouTube videos, and playing some light games, all of that is really fun.

The display looks great. It has an in-display fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers, which actually sound pretty decent. They are not the best speakers in the world, but it is a pretty fun experience if you were to watch a movie, video, or just listen to something.

Performance

.This phone has a Snapdragon 695 processor; it’s a 5G processor, but it came out in October of 2021, so it is borderline three years old right now. Fun fact: OnePlus used the same processor in the Nord CE 2 Lite and the Nord CE 3 Lite, and funny enough, they’re still using it three years later in the Nord CE 4 Lite. It’s coupled with 8GB of RAM, while you can get it in either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

There’s a 5,500mAh battery, which is a really good thing. Now, this is not a bad processor for daily stuff-just scrolling through social media, emails, browsing, watching videos-all that’s fine. However, this is a processor that’s not future-proof. I mean, if you’re going to use this phone for the next 2 or 3 years, I don’t know how it’s going to hold up.

If you are a light user, then it’s going to get the job done, but if you do anything relatively heavy, such as multitasking, running some games, using the camera quite a lot, or even just editing photos and videos, then I don’t know how this processor is going to hold up.

It irks me, and I believe very firm users will experience performance problems in the near future; at this price, using a three-year-old processor simply isn’t acceptable. Just this last week I reviewed the Poco X6 featuring a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and if you compared the 695 to any market-leading processors, as regards numbers and benchmarking, the 695 completely falls flat because it isn’t even close.

Even something such as the Snapdragon 782G or even the Dimensity 7200 are pretty good options. I genuinely feel anything but the 695 would have served much better on the Nord CE 4 Lite.

Battery Capacity

The battery and charging on this are nice: it has got a massive 5,500mAh battery for its size, and charges via an 80W SuperVOOC fast charger. This is a phone that’s going to run really well since the processor isn’t that great, and it’s for light users

You’re going to get 8+ hours of screen-on time without any issues, even at 120Hz. You should be able to charge the phone really fast, under an hour. I think 52-53 minutes is what the company claims, which is really good. The battery will definitely last, even if you use your phone a lot throughout the day.

Camera

It gets dual cameras on the back: a 50MP main sensor, f/1.8; actually, it is Sony’s L600 sensor, which is really a very good camera sensor. The main sensor can get you really nice photos in good daylight conditions, while the low-light shots aren’t bad either.

You can get some good portrait shots, but again, because of the Snapdragon 695 and how it’s really old, you are stuck with 1080p 30fps video for the main camera; not even 1080p 60fps. Forget about 4K recording. That’s really bad, but overall, the pictures are pretty nice on this phone.

It is OIS compatible, but the videos are just average. I’m going to throw up some photo samples, and you guys have been looking at them. Let me know in the comments down below what you think.

The other camera is a 2MP macro that I never use, so that’s that. And then there is a 16MP front selfie camera, too, which isn’t bad for someone who likes taking selfies for posting on social media.

Software

Software-wise, you’re running Android 14 out of the box with OxygenOS 14 on top. Not a lot of bloatware; you can get rid of some of the apps as well. Overall, it’s the same experience that you get on their premium phones. So yeah, OxygenOS 14 runs fast.

Multitasking is fine, app opening times are decent. This processor, though, does struggle a bit, and there are some lags and hiccups here and there. That’s not really a deal-breaker. As I said, if you’re a light user, doing social media, browsing, and email, and want a OnePlus phone, this can get the job done.

But for those who are going to be playing games or using the phone quite a lot or doing some heavy tasks, performance issues are going to crop up, and I’ll be really honest about that.

Conclusion

One of the Short comings of this device is that it has an outdated processor, lacks NFC, ultra-wide-angle shooter, and noise cancellation features. You’re also limited to 1080p30 video. While all these might have been more acceptable if it came at a lower price, the phone starts at 20,000 rupees, although discounts bring it to close to about 19,000 rupees.

At this price, with two storage variants of 128GB and 256GB, the phone still seems overpriced for what it offers when there is better competition in this bracket-for example, the Poco X6 and iQOO Z9. My recommendation will be to skip this phone and spend a bit more money on the Nord CE 4 or wait for the Nord 4. Check my site for more phone reviews
