OnePlus Philippines is set to launch the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G and Nord Buds 2 on April 21, 2023. Both products got significant upgrades from their respective predecessors, guaranteeing an improved and streamlined user experience while remaining at an affordable, reasonable price point.
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite is the successor to last year’s Nord CE 2 Lite and brings some notable upgrades in the camera and charging departments. The phone has a 108MP main camera with 3x lossless zoom and two 2MP cameras for macro and depth.
The phone features a 6.72-inch IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a peak brightness of 680 nits, Gorilla Glass protection, and a hole punch cutout for a 16MP selfie camera.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chip, a decent performer for the class, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W SuperVOOC charging, which can charge the phone from zero to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. It also has a SuperVOOC Endurance Edition feature that prevents overcharging and extends the battery’s lifespan.
The phone has other features that give it a good value proposition, including stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It comes in two colors: Pastel Lime and Chromatic Gray.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are the second generation of OnePlus’ wireless earbuds and come with active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency modes. They have an in-ear design with silicone tips and touch controls, powered by 12.4mm drivers with Dolby Atmos support.
The Nord Buds 2 have a battery life of up to five hours with ANC turned on, up to seven hours with ANC turned off, and up to 36 hours with the charging case. It also has an IP55 dust and water resistance rating, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and AAC codec support.
