OnePlus recently held a dual launch event in India and took the wraps off both the Nord CE 6 and the Nord CE 6 Lite. The Nord CE 6 Lite is particularly interesting because it is the first CE Lite model since the Nord CE 4 Lite and it comes loaded with a brand new Dimensity 7400 Apex chip, a 50MP camera and a massive 7000mAh battery. Let’s dive into what the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite Nepal launch has to offer.
- MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex (4nm) Processor
- 6.72-inch 144Hz LCD Display
- Dual 50MP Rear and 8MP Front Camera
- 7,000mAh Battery with 45W SuperVOOC Charging
Display and Design
The Nord CE6 Lite sports a 6.72-inch LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Scrolling through social media feels genuinely smooth at this refresh rate and it hits up to 1000 nits in HBM mode so using it outdoors in bright sunlight is not a struggle. DC dimming support is a thoughtful touch for those who read or watch a lot on their phone.
That said LCD panels do show their limits when watching HDR content and colors can look a bit washed out compared to AMOLED screens at this price range. Design-wise the phone has a clean vertical camera island on the back with a strip LED flash and it comes in Vivid Mint and Hyper Black finishes. It also carries a MIL-STD certification for drop protection.
Performance
Under the hood the Nord CE6 Lite is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex and it is a 4nm chip making its global debut on this very device. It handles everyday multitasking without breaking a sweat and is a solid step up from the Dimensity 7300 series.
For gaming OnePlus claims the phone supports up to 144fps in runner style games and popular titles like BGMI and CODM run at a steady 90fps. The 5300mm² vapor chamber cooling helps maintain those frame rates during long sessions and it is notably larger than the Nothing Phone 4a’s 3200mm² setup. Memory options include 6GB or 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone runs OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 and that is a fresh experience right out of the box.
Camera
The camera setup is where things get a little mixed. The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite only offers two functional cameras and those are a 50MP f/1.8 primary lens and a 2MP depth sensor. Daylight shots should come out sharp and well detailed but low light performance may be average at best.
The biggest miss here is the absent ultrawide lens and competitors like the Samsung Galaxy A37 and Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus offer ultrawide sensors at a similar price point. The 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls well enough for everyday use.

Battery and Connectivity
The 7000mAh battery is without doubt the headline feature of this phone. OnePlus claims up to 81.7 hours of music playback and 26.2 hours of video on a single charge and even heavy users should comfortably get through two days. The 45W SuperVOOC fast charging gets the phone juiced up quickly and 10W reverse wired charging lets users top up accessories like earbuds. Bypass charging support is also present and that is useful for long gaming sessions.
Connectivity includes 5G support and WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.4 and a USB-C port and that is solid for a phone in this segment.
