The volume up and down buttons will be on the left side of the device, while the power button will stay on the right side and might double as a fingerprint scanner.
The device does not appear to feature an alert slider, which should not come as a surprise to any, given that OnePlus has lately been skipping the alert slider with its more budget-oriented devices.
Moving on, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has a triple rear camera setup alongside an LED flash. The rear of the device has the brand’s logo and that’s, more or less, all that we get at the back. The front of the device will likely have a single punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.
