Android 12 and other specifications

According to renders, distributed by 91mobilesthe OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite runs on Android 12. This makes it the first Nord smartphone to receive Android 12. And this is great, because the lack of Android 12 was one of the biggest drawbacks to the ‘regular Nord CE 2. It is not yet known exactly which OxygenOS version the phone will run on.

According to the information, the Nord CE 2 Lite will continue to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset with 6 GB of RAM. The device will probably get a 6.59-inch Full HD + AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The latter is smoother than the 90 Hz on the regular Nord CE 2. The cameras on the device are rumored to consist of a 64 MP main camera, which is assisted by two 2 MP cameras. This is probably a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP monochrome lens. Finally, the device will most likely have a 5,000 battery that supports 33 watts of fast charging.

Galaxy Note with a touch of OPPO

All these specifications would be concealed in a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra-like design. In renders we see flat sides and a large square camera island. However, unlike the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, the back and sides of the Nord CE 2 Lite are made entirely of plastic.

In any case, the most striking thing about the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite is that it seems to score better than its big brother on a number of points. As soon as there is information about the Nord CE 2 Lite, you will of course read it on Androidworld.
