OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite buying guide — 3 things we liked, 4 things we didn’t

It’s hard to justify the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite even though OnePlus has done its best to not stray far from the script these phones have usually stuck with since inception. The price, too, is consistent with last year which is easier said than done. But something is off. OnePlus is getting a lot of heat for its choice of putting a three-year-old processor in the new Nord, when rivals have moved to faster, more modern chips. It doesn’t help that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 has become so mainstream, it’s currently available on phones as low as Rs 10,999. But that is only one half of the problem. The Nord CE 4 Lite is riddled with such small, small questionable decisions, that when you factor them in totality, makes you wonder, what was OnePlus thinking.
