Running the shown on the core is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 782G chipset. It is a successor to the widely popular Snapdragon 778G mobile silicon. This new SoC is based on a 6nm process and adapts the 1+3+4 architecture. So, you get one Cortex A-78 cores running at 2.7GHz, three at 2.4GHz and four Cortex A-55 cores at 1.8GHz.
In terms of memory and storage, the CE 3 Lite 5G is available in two trims: 8/128GB and 12/256GB. For software, the Nord CE 3 boots on Android 13 OS, customized with OnePlus’ Oxygen OS 13.1.
