Nord CE 2 Lite

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite looks quite similar to the Realme 9 Pro+ (minus the gradient colour scheme). On the front, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite has a punch-hole cutout on the top-left corner for the selfie camera and a noticeable bezel below the screen. The volume rocker is on the left, while the power button is placed on the right edge.

On the back, the Nord CE 2 Lite has a rectangular module to house two large camera sensors, a smaller lens and an LED flash, much like the Realme 9 Pro+. It appears the OnePlus phone has a polycarbonate build to keep the weight and price on the lower side. The phone can be seen in Grey colour but there should be other options at launch. The upcoming Nord CE 2 Lite should have an in-display fingerprint sensor as well.
