OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite display is good but not great
Like the Nord CE 2 Lite, the latest entrant features a 120Hz IPS display, while most phones in this price range offer OLED, albeit with a lower refresh rate.
Again, performance is good for most. However, if one is switching from a phone with OLED, the contrast and colors on the Nord CE 3 Lite are not quite as subdued. For the rest, the big and bright (indoor) display should do the job during gaming and content consumption. And the display is protected by Dragon Asahi Glass.
I had a great Netflix experience and even BGMI sessions on this phone were thoroughly enjoyable, and it comes with Widevine L1 certification and supports HD content streaming across major OTT platforms like Prime Video Hotstar and Netflix.
