OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G first look at design is out, officially, giving us a first-hand look at OnePlus’s soon-to-launch affordable phone. The Nord CE 2 Lite is expected to be a “lite” version of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 which was launched recently in India. OnePlus has shared a render of the new phone on social media showing off its “Blue Tide” colour variant from the back. Its dedicated product listing on Amazon, meanwhile, confirms that the Nord CE 2 Lite will come with a hole punch cut-out on one end similar to the Nord CE 2.
The design of the Nord CE 2 Lite looks familiar, no doubt, but it has those Nord elements intact to differentiate itself from similar looking Oppo and Realme phones. Like the OnePlus 10R, that’s also launching alongside in India on April 28, the Nord CE 2 Lite will also come with a dual tone/textured design. The top half of the phone, where you’ll find a triple camera array, has this brushed/stripes look while the bottom half is smooth, possibly glossy considering the way that OnePlus is marketing it. The Blue Tide variant would seemingly “gleam like an ocean sunset,” OnePlus says. There should be another colour option, or two maybe at launch.
