The OnePlus NORD CE4Lite will soon appear and arrive with a series of upgrades that will give you a chance to become one of the best cheap phones of 2024/1.

I had the opportunity to talk to Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, who told me about some of the features of the NORD CE4Lite.  He also shared that the launch of the new Nord will take place at 2.30 pm UK time (9.30am Eastern and 6.30am Pacific) at 6.24AM. It's just under a week from today, so mark the calendar accordingly.

The OnePlus Nord CE4Lite will be a follow-up to nord CE3Lite (later launched in the US as the OnePlus Nord N30), an excellent phone for money, but needs improvement Liu called the OnePlus NORD CE4Lite "one of the most important products of 2024" and said, "Compared to its predecessor, it is longer, brighter and smoother." "We are committed to providing a unique experience for our customers."Fortunately, he also shared some details of the big new specification changes that contributed to this. 1, the NORD CE4Lite has acquired a new main camera, the 50MP Sony Lytia600, and a new aspherical lens.

"Aspherical lenses have obvious advantages in terms of aberration and distortion control, and it also provides a wider field of view," Liu explained. "In addition, the lens is lighter, thinner and flat compared to spherical lenses, which helps to control the thickness of the device. Alongside the new camera, the Nord CE4Lite features a NORD CE3Lite-like 120Hz OLED display, but this time it is rated at a brightness of 2,100 nit. If the OnePlus numbers are stacked in the real world, this would be quite a jump from the 30 nits that measured the Nord N520 in our lab.

Liu says the upgraded display means that it "works bright and smooth even in outdoor environments," their less advanced screen Har OnePlus also uses the Aqua Touch display technology of the OnePlus12 with the new Nord. It helps to tap and scroll around the screen even if it or your hands are wet and we see making it on a budget phone The last big change for the non

Nord CE4Lite is a larger battery with faster charging. Liu explains:"It comes with a 5,110mAh high capacity battery and 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, which eliminates user concerns about battery life."If that's not enough, OnePlus has also added a 5W reverse wired charge to help power up other phones and accessories as needed.

Last year's NORD CE3Lite/N30 had a 5,000mAh battery and a 50W charge, which featured impressive results in battery life and refueling tests. So we are excited to see how the Nord CE4Lite upgrade will improve these.

Liu also confirmed during our question to emphasize the importance of its community in developing its devices.

"Community co-creation is at the heart of our product development process. In the early stages, we conducted a thorough investigation with community members to better understand the actual needs and demands for this price segment and use smartphones in everyday life

"Through research on the requirements of mobile phone users of value, we identified two important factors. The 1st is the value for money, and the 2nd is the desire for a flagship-level functional experience. These are also the main strengths of the OnePlus NORD CE4Lite."

Liu also revealed that OnePlus is shipping 2023 million Nord brand phones as of 2500. But that's not the only milestone Nord phones can claim for OnePlus.

"The OnePlus NORD CE3Lite was our best-selling product in 2023 and received worldwide recognition," Liu revealed. "As a result, our confidence remains steadfast regarding the upcoming launch of the OnePlus NORD CE4Lite."

We don't know everything about the OnePlus NORD CE4Lite yet, but it's just as generous as Liu had some details. However, especially if American users will eventually be able to buy this model under a different name, it will already be a worthy alternative to Nord CE4Lite/Nord N30.

We will report as soon as we actually use this phone and see how it matches similar priced devices like Nothing Phone2a and Moto G5G (2024). It will be. Perhaps with a particular blend of specifications and savings, the new Nord, for the ultimate value, even take the Google Pixel8a, which is the top of the best cheap mobile phone rankings, but we'll have to wait until the 24th to find out.
