The Nord CE 3 Lite (CPH2465 / CPH2467) arrived on my desk promising a compelling blend of features and affordability. This international version, boasting 8GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of internal storage, immediately piqued my interest.

The Nord CE 3 Lite doesn’t disappoint in the features department. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is quick and reliable, a welcome addition for secure access.
