After 10 years with Xiaomi, I decided to switch to one of their family devices, this particular mobile phone. The latest options from Xiaomi were the Note 11 and the Redmi 12. I have been satisfied with the Note series all these years (in the basic versions). However, the 11 series and the Redmi 12 disappointed me. Lagging, ads, signal issues, notifications, and fatigue. My wife's Redmi 12, last year's model, was a complete failure. Throughout the years, I have used mobile phones for basic purposes as an average user (I imagine). Phone calls, messages between us, a few social media apps, maps (for work), and some time on the internet for interesting articles.
So, I decided to replace the Redmi 12 with the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G.
I realize that OnePlus, with this mobile phone, is very user-friendly. At least for my type of usage. It's fast, lightweight in terms of its operating system, and simple. The screen is better than I expected. Comparing it side by side with the Redmi Note 11, which has an LED screen, the scale tilts in favor of OnePlus. Yes, it doesn't have the customization options of Xiaomi. But ultimately, for me, it doesn't matter much. The charger is fantastic, and the speed is impressive. The camera is very satisfactory, with beautiful colors and good performance. Since I am into photography, both on mobile and in general (in my opinion), the hardware is not as important as the "eye," and this particular device satisfies me to a great extent. I don't work for Reuters or National Geographic, so it covers my needs if I want to take a picture during a walk.
In conclusion, it is a very good purchase. Honest price, user-friendly mobile phone, and you can rest assured that you have something reliable in your hands that will deliver on its promises. I have already bought another one for my father, and I will get the same for my 20-year-old daughter (I will probably get the Nord 3 for myself). Both the lime and black colors are beautiful, with a good grip. A wallet case was a useful choice for both my wife and my father.
Have a good day.

In the end, I also got the same one for myself. Very, very satisfied. The screen is clear and excellent for navigation in my professional use. Colors and brightness are at a very good level.
A great choice for my needs.
