Phone is perfect for daily users, great for streaming and social media, provides 9 - 10 SOT hours depending on usage. I wouldn't compare it with new model chipsets but it's Snapdragon 695(Well Optimized chip) is surprisingly good and more than enough for mid range users due to reasons that it has been optimized for many brands and models. Phone design is elegant and slim. It provides 67 watts charging. It only supports Android 13 (in box) up to android 15, additional 1 year of security updates. Camera does decent but better with Gcam Shamim Developer. Speaker is excellent with 200 PERCENT volume. Calling is great. Overall, would have recommended this phone 2 years ago but not now as Chipset is more than 3 years old(Chipset is still well optimized for 2025). Snapdragon 695 provides perfect balance between PERFORMANCE and BATTERY EFFICIENCY. WELL ROUNDED PHONE which meets Mid range users everyday needs. Gaming is pretty decent for CODM. Phone usage is blissful and smooth (this is where Snapdragon 695 performs MAJESTIC LIKE A KING).

People who compare this phone to newer models or chipsets are foolish, it's like comparing TOYOTA with FERRARI. It's not always about being feature oriented, flagship Chipset, Best Cameras etc but it does it's job surprisingly well enough. This phone is like Toyota. It drives well and long term durability not like a FERRARI.

I would still use this phone with Custom ROM if it becomes end of life(EOL) You can't throw away a phone like this easily. Wouldn't even sell it for more than what I paid for it. Well Rounded battery efficient and decent performance phone.

    Hi! Yesterday received OOS15 update. Everything fine. For sure I did a factory reset. No issues at all. No fast battery drain... No regrets. Hope remains so..

          I have December security patch. Next update will be hopefully oxygen OS 15. Oxygen updater app is useful and accelerates updates without waiting for wide spread óta.

            It's a good budget device, battery lasts for 8-10 hrs SOT with 5G. Can run some titles like mobile legends and call of duty mobile at max graphics 60 fps. Camera is a little lacking but i have managed to fix it by installing Gcam.

            9/10 not a perfect device but it's not bad.

              Had this as a daily driver for about a year. It's a good phone and almost completely satisfied me. The only problem I had with it was its signal and wifi reception which was somehow worse than my old Vivo V15. I passed it on to my dad and even he started complaining about how it had worse reception than his budget Huawei phone from 2019.

                I am PWM sensitive and cant use any of the flagship phones so I bought this phone because of LCD IPS panel. I am curenntly using iphone 11. I got this phone and currently its updating android to 14. After instalation I will factory reset phone and throw it in trash bin. Its abosolutley biggest piece of shit that i have ever bought. Its kinda comedic how this phone is trash. Camera is worst i have ever seen. Lags non stop. Slow. Pure and undescribabale garbage.

                    Recently I encontered an issue with whatsup app on may nord ce3 lite 5G. I installed it wanted to try out, I never used it before. after entering my phonenumber, tap on next button, but it freezes out, no chance to get call, or cannot get the chance to get a confirmation SMS, either. All green buttons are inresponsive. I tried delete and reinstall, installed it as an apk file, clear cache etc... any solution? or it is server side issue from meta?

                    thanks

I do... moreWorks on earlier Oneplus phones, should work here. Phone is off. Hold power on and volume down button at the same time. Release when you see Oneplus logo. You are prompted to enter a PIN, so it's best you have one set up before you begin. (Or maybe not needed? But I use a PIN.) Enter PIN, select language, select Wipe Data Wipe Cache (it's a choice), select Wipe Cache. Then Yes to reboot, or it may reboot automatically. Either way, you're at the end here.

                                    I noticed switching off 5G enhances battery life. Coverage of 5G in my country is not too significant. 4G super for all purposes.

                                        I think overall its a good phone, not bad specs for it price. However, the IPS LCD has ruined the whole phone. Even $200 phone come with an OLED display!
