Strong smartphone essentials

The OnePlus Nord CE Lite 5G is powered by a large 5000mAh battery, allowing users to enjoy entertainment without having to worry about running out of battery. The battery can be charged quickly and safely via the 67W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition: this technology ensures that the battery works as sustainably as possible and charges from 0 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. The 67W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition doubles the total number of charge cycles to keep the battery performing, working continuously to increase the battery’s lifespan and overall health in the long run. With 12 sensors in the smartphone, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G accurately monitors its temperature, which prevents the device from overheating.

The Nord CE 3 Lite 5G celebrates a milestone in the camera field: it is the first OnePlus smartphone with 108 megapixels in the main camera, which allows users to capture their daily precious moments in more detail than ever before. With a formidable 3x zoom that doesn’t lose image quality, users can clearly shoot everything around them, even from afar. The 2MP depth assist camera allows users to easily adjust depth of field to enhance photos taken in portrait mode. A 16MP front camera and improved software for more detail in portrait photos of faces also ensure superior selfies. Users can also capture dynamic videos with the slow-motion mode.

Fast and flawless entertainment

Entertainment is no problem for the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. Powered by its 6.72-inch 120Hz FHD display, its 91.4% screen-to-body ratio allows users to enjoy streams, videos and more without worry. The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and automatically adjusts it based on usage to maximize battery efficiency. To further improve the user experience, the smartphone has Global DC Dimming, an improved backlight system for the screen. This enables users to use the smartphone for extended periods of time in low light, as the image is less tiring for the eyes.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset for better and smoother performance, high frame rate and extensive gameplay.

OnePlus Nord Buds 2

Unimaginable audio

The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are focused on delivering impactful bass and incredibly clear audio. With its BassWave™ Enhancement, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 provide wide bass and keep audio true to its original quality. The earbuds are equipped with an oversized 12.4mm enhancement driver unit to boost bass quality for more powerful beats. The Nord Buds 2 provide balanced sound quality for optimal audio for music and phone calls. An added layer of titanium in the vibrating diaphragm improves sound balance and provides instant response for more powerful and crystal clear audio.

To provide the most immersive experience, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 reduce any kind of background noise through an instinctive Active Noise Cancellation function with 25dB depth and a dual-core processor. For when ambient noise is desired, OnePlus Nord Buds 2 users bring Transparency Mode, which allows them to play music while still hearing outside voices and background noise. The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 use an AI algorithm for clear calls, an advanced technology that works with a dual microphone system that amplifies the human voice.

The sound quality of the Nord Buds 2 has been further improved with Master Equalization. By providing different modes, including Balanced, Serenade, Bass and Bold, users can choose which aspect of the sound quality they want to emphasize. The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are designed in conjunction with Dolby Atmos technology that amplifies the smartphone speakers and Dirac Audio Tuner for smoother performance, especially when the earbuds are connected to another OnePlus device.

Iconic quality and design

The design of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 is inspired by cosmic elements that depict the impact and power of the strong bass. Various durable materials are processed in the earplugs and due to the unique handiwork, the final finish of each case is different. Each box also comes with a set of surprise stickers for added fun.

The impeccable battery life of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 ensures that the earbuds can be used for a very long time. A full charge can provide up to 7 hours of audio without a charging case and 36 hours with a charging case. It only takes 10 minutes to charge to guarantee up to 5 hours of use with the Active Noise Cancellation turned off. The earbuds are dust and splash resistant with a certified IP55 rating.
