OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G finally launched in India with Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset and runs on Android 12 out of the box. The device sports an AI-backed triple rear camera unit headlined by a 64 MP main sensor and packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W SuperVOOC fast charging.
If you’re using a OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G or planning to buy it, this guide is for you. In this tutorial, we will share the latest OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G firmware flash file and guide you on how to install it on your device.
Sometimes, Android users try to use custom ROMs or mods for more features or customization. The device may not work like before, or you may experience errors or lags in these situations. Otherwise, the default Stock ROM can work slowly or have performance or app running issues. Therefore, doing a factory reset may fix the issue. But even a factory reset won’t come in handy; you should re-install the Stock ROM. Flashing Stock Firmware again on your device will give you a better experience like a new device.
