The Nord CE 3 Lite, model numbers CPH2465/CPH2467, promises a compelling blend of features and affordability. After weeks of using the Chromatic Gray 8GB RAM/128GB version, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This international version boasts a vibrant AMOLED display, a capable processor, and impressive battery life. But does it deliver on its promises? Let’s find out.

The Nord CE 3 Lite packs several features into its attractive design. The 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display is a real standout, delivering crisp visuals and smooth scrolling. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is conveniently placed and responsive. The triple camera system, with its 108MP main sensor, promises impressive image quality, though the true test lies in real-world performance (detailed below). The 5000mAh battery, coupled with fast charging, keeps the phone powered up throughout the day.

Daily usage was remarkably smooth. The Snapdragon 695 processor handled multitasking with ease, and even demanding games ran smoothly, with minimal lag. The 120Hz refresh rate makes the user interface exceptionally fluid. The 5000mAh battery consistently lasted well over a day on a single charge, even with heavy use. Fast charging significantly reduced downtime when needed. Camera performance was decent in well-lit conditions, producing sharp and detailed photos. However, low-light performance showed some limitations, resulting in slightly grainy images. The included sensors (fingerprint, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass) all functioned as expected.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Vibrant AMOLED display, smooth 120Hz refresh rate, long-lasting battery life, fast charging, responsive fingerprint sensor, capable processor for everyday use.
• Cons: Low-light camera performance could be improved, some minor compromises in build quality compared to flagship phones.

The Nord CE 3 Lite CPH2465/CPH2467 offers excellent value for its price. The stunning display, impressive battery life, and smooth performance make it a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market. While the camera isn’t perfect in low light, its overall capabilities are solid. If you’re looking for a phone that balances features and affordability, the Nord CE 3 Lite is definitely worth considering. I highly recommend it.
