The mid-range market is undergoing an interesting metamorphosis and, to be honest, it's about time. Gone are the days when we were content to barely make it to the end of the day; the new obsession of the manufacturers is extreme autonomy. OnePlus has just hit the table with the launch of its new series, betting on figures that until very recently seemed exclusive to those heavy, rugged niche devices.
The company has officially presented the OnePlus Nord CE 6 and his younger brother, Nord CE 6 Lite. Although both terminals share the philosophy of offering juicy specifications for a reasonable price, let's look first at the most affordable model, which has made an unusual decision: prioritizing energy capacity over the thinness and lightness of the design.
OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite: a marathoner with lights and shadows
He OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite stands in the market boasting of a gigantic 7,000 mAh battery. According to the brand, this translates into up to two days of intense use without the slightest problem. However, not everything is rosy: to load such a pile we come across a 45W fast charginga figure that seems a bit low nowadays and that will force you to leave your phone plugged in for a long time if you want to go from 0 to 100%.
Inside, the device relies on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apexa very solvent processor but that clearly cuts back on raw power to keep the price at bay. Its 6.72-inch LCD screen reaches 144Hzan excellent refresh rate for playing fluidly, although it is a shame that they have dispensed with AMOLED technology to reduce costs in this version.

If the Lite model is too little for you, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 It comes to correct all these deficiencies, raising the stakes considerably. Here we do find a panel 1.5K AMOLED with dazzling brightness of up to 3,600 nits. In addition, its resistance certification is military level (including IP69K), which means that we are faced with a surprisingly robust phone that is not afraid of water, dust or the worst everyday accidents.
But the truly wild thing about this standard model is its range and overall performance.

All of this is driven by the capable Snapdragon 7s Gen 4guaranteeing excellent performance and without the dreaded jerks that terminals in this range sometimes suffer.
