OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G technical sheet
The stripped-down version of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 relies on the Snapdragon 695 SoC, which uses eight cores clocked at up to 2.2 GHz. It supports 5G and is paired with a Qualcomm Adreno 619 GPU. The SoC is paired with a single memory configuration: 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Screen-wise, I was initially surprised to learn that the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G supports a 120Hz refresh rate, but OnePlus only has a 6.59-inch LCD to do that. So it’s slightly bigger than the OnePlus Nord CE 2’s screen, so the resolution is slightly higher.

Speaking of resolution, the triple-camera module consists of a 64 MP main sensor without optical image stabilization and depth and a 2 MP macro lens each. The configuration itself is very limited. The front camera has a resolution of 16 MP.
Finally, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging at 33Wh. According to the press release, you can play 23 30-minute PUGB Mobile games in a row or watch 21 hours of YouTube videos. Wow, how young and hip they are at OnePlus, right?
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite will be pre-installed running on OxygenOS 12.1 based on Android 12. From there, there will be two major Android version updates and three years of Android security updates.
