Review on OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 8/256 GB Global Smartphone, Dual nano SIM, Black by Stanislaw Plonka ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

General feeling in one word: CHEAP. I bought the phone as a gift, but I compare it with my slightly more expensive OnePlus Nord2 5G and the impressions are "heaven and earth". The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is big, heavy, thick and slow: when you scroll through the pages, you can clearly see how the phone slows down a little, and after the soft fast scrolling of the Nord2, this is very annoying. The green color of the body in the photos is cheerful, but it looks budget in real life. The back cover is a cheap slippery plastic, unpleasant to the touch and storing all fingerprints. There is no proprietary OnePlus mute slider here: there are only volume and power buttons. In the Antutu 9 test, the smartphone scores 410521 points - this is the performance level of Realme 10. In general, a normal workhorse, suitable for Whatsapp and TikTok, but I consider the price tag above 20 thousand to be too high.

Pros
  • Lightweight shell close to bare Android (Oxygen 13.1). Virtually zero garbage in the system: no ads, "branded/sponsored applications", etc. Fast charging at 67 watts. Lots of RAM and big disk (8/256Gb). Jack 3.5 inches for connecting headphones. Transparent case included.
Cons
  • Ancient and slow processor. The high price of the phone. The spartan look of the branded shell is underlined. 2022 fonts are unsightly, they feel like from the early Russifications of Linux or modern OpenOffice: everything seems to be there, but it seems to be unpleasant to look at.
