OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite

While it doesn’t cost much, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite still provides premium features such as a 108MP camera and a 6.7-inch 120Hz display. But the unevenness of the rest of the experience means it won't be a cheap phone champion like the Google Pixel 7a.

While it doesn’t have that sense of killer value of value classic OnePlus phones had, this is a good mid-range option if you’ll appreciate its loud speakers and like the eye-catching green colour.
