Reviews

7.9/10 by Shubham Raheja | 04 Apr 2023

The Nord CE 3 Lite’s improved on the charging front. It’s got the smoothest UI in the segment, a high-resolution snapper that can click some mean photos in the dark, and its new eye-catching green colour is a breath of fresh air. But its dated processor and lack of an ultrawide camera can raise some eyebrows.

7.7/10 by Shimul Sood | 28 Nov 2024

With its vibrant display and 90Hz refresh rate, the Galaxy A16 offers a smooth experience for everyday tasks. However, it heats up during extended gaming sessions, and its camera is just average, especially for selfies. If you're after solid performance and battery life, it’s a good choice. But for a more well-rounded experience in the under-Rs 20,000 range, consider options like the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite or iQOO Z9s.
