The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite has been unveiled internationally. As you might guess from its name, this mid-range smartphone is a significantly stripped-down version of the OnePlus Nord CE6, but it still offers good value for money.
This Lite version features a Mediatek Dimensity 7400 APEX processor, a variant of the Dimensity 7400 that scores around 990,000 points on Antutu v11. Speaking of cutbacks, the most significant changes in this model compared to the base version are the display—which is now an IPS panel, though it retains a solid 144 Hz refresh rate—and the battery, which remains at 7,000 mAh.
Its body features IP64 and MIL-STD-810H certifications, and the operating system is Android 16 with the OxygenOS 16.0 overlay, which includes many AI-powered tools.
