The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G looks like a crazy deal. My mom broke her phone and doesn't need anything fancy, and as today's Google Store discounts were disappointing, I finally went for a Nord CE 3 Lite and ordered one for €279 on Amazon.
At that price you get 8GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 695 SoC, 120Hz display, 128 GB of storage, and apparently a low-bloat UI based on Android 13. Haven't received the phone yet but reviews on YouTube seem to be positive and it does look nice too.
They offer 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.
Update: Tried it with my mom, it definitely feels like a good mid-range and it's very responsive (and she liked it a lot). It looks and feels as good as in the YouTube reviews, they include a transparent case and they preinstalled a screen protector. So I guess you should definitely check it out if €279 is within your budget.
