Mihawk. Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 You know one company has a bit too many budget phones when its newest device is called the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. The name is as close to a tongue-twister as it gets in the smartphone world and you just cannot expect a regular person to remember that name. Even explaining the whole concept takes a few paragraphs, but let me give it a try: so, OnePlus launched the original Nord a couple of years ago in an attempt to revolutionize budget phones, but at around $400, the Nord was still not super cheap. So not long after the original Nord, we got the Nord CE, which stands for "Core Edition" and is a kind of a stripped down version of the Nord that in order to sell cheaper loses the signature alert slider and a few nice features along the way. This year, OnePlus launched the second generation of that Nord CE aka Core Edition device, and it had 5G, hence Nord CE 2 5G. But then, the company obviously realized that it needed to sell an even cheaper phone so it further modified that into the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. Feeling dizzy? I know I am, but that's the phone we have up for review and put simply this is the cheapest new OnePlus phone in 2022. So... what's the price you may wonder? The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G (gosh...) costs £280 in the UK, while the non-Lite version costs... £300. That's it! 20 quid! Was it even worth making this phone? We will keep on wondering, but if you want to find out all about that story, just keep on reading.
