OnePlus has just announced the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. An affordable phone with a name so long you wouldn't want to ask for it by name. But it's also a phone with a spec sheet fairly similar to its Nord CE 2 Lite predecessor, including one major camera absence that, well, leaves me just confused.
OnePlus' approach to cameras has its highs, don't get me wrong: some of the Hasselblad implementation over the years has been great, such as in the OnePlus 10 Pro released in 2022. But that's the high-end of the market, whereas the Nord CE 3 Lite looks to fill the more affordable section, acting as the polar opposite really – and priced at a very reasonable £299 in the UK.
