OnePlus has officially unveiled its Nord CE 6 and CE 6 Lite in India, aiming to cater to mid-range smartphone users. The Nord CE 6 features a 144Hz display and is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The device promotes strong performance with its
8,000mAh battery, while the CE 6 Lite focuses on smoothness with an adaptive display and AI-powered camera tools.
The
pricing for the Nord CE 6 starts at ₹29,999 and ₹20,999 for the CE 6 Lite. Customers can avail of discounts bringing the effective prices to ₹27,999 and ₹18,999, respectively. Both models showcase significant improvements in build quality and specifications.
However, OnePlus has made a controversial decision by limiting OS upgrades for the
Nord CE 6 to only two major Android versions, compared to previous offerings which promised four. This means the device will only see updates up to
Android 18, significantly impacting its long-term value.
OnePlus noted that while they have cut down on OS updates, they promise a
'Fast and Smooth experience' for six years, though this does not clearly indicate how many security updates the devices will receive. Customer expectations on the longevity of software support may be affected by this change.
Overall, the launch of the Nord CE 6 and CE 6 Lite offers users good technical specifications, but deeper concerns remain regarding the future of software updates from OnePlus.
