OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite Specifications
The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex 4nm chipset. OnePlus claims the processor delivers the segment's highest AnTuTu score of over 1.03 million, along with support for up to 144FPS gaming in runner titles such as Subway Surfers. The company also says 90FPS support for BGMI will arrive by the end of May.
The smartphone is paired with UFS 3.1 storage and supports up to 16GB RAM, including RAM expansion. On the front, the device features a 6.72-inch FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1,000 nits HBM brightness. Additional display features include up to 240Hz touch sampling rate and Aqua Touch 2.0 support for wet-touch responsiveness. Dual stereo speakers with 300% Ultra Volume Mode are also included.
The Nord CE6 Lite packs a 7,000mAh single-cell battery with 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging support. According to OnePlus, a 10-minute charge can deliver up to 7.5 hours of phone calls or 1.4 hours of BGMI gameplay. The company also claims battery health retention of up to 80% after six years of usage. For cooling, OnePlus has included a 5,300mm² vapour cooling chamber designed to maintain stable temperatures during gaming and heavy workloads.
The smartphone features a 50-megapixel main camera alongside a 2-megapixel depth-assist sensor. Camera features include 4K video recording, Dual-View Video, 4K Motion Photos, and AI editing tools such as AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, AI Reframe, AI Portrait Glow, AI Perfect Shot, and AI Detail Boost. An 8-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls.
The device runs OxygenOS 16 with Google Gemini and Gemini Live integration. OnePlus claims the software delivers 36% faster camera response, 29% faster app cold start speeds, and 17% faster system startup compared to the previous version.
OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite Price in India
The OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite is available in Vivid Mint and Hyper Black colour options. Pricing is as follows:
- 6GB + 128GB: Rs. 20,999 (effective price Rs. 18,999)
- 8GB + 128GB: Rs. 22,999 (effective price Rs. 20,999)
- 8GB + 256GB: Rs. 25,999 (effective price Rs. 23,999)
OnePlus is also offering up to six months of no-cost EMI on select credit cards. The Nord CE6 Lite appears to focus heavily on endurance and gaming-oriented features rather than ultra-thin design or camera versatility. The 7,000mAh battery is particularly notable in this segment, where most smartphones still remain around the 5,000mAh range, and that alone could make the device appealing for users prioritising long battery life and extended gaming sessions over flagship-level camera hardware.
