The OnePlus Nord 4 was unveiled at the company’s Summer Lunch Event in Milan with a design that goes against current trends and opts for a metal unibody.
The phone runs on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 with 8GB, 12GB or 16GB of RAM. Storage is either 128GB UFS 3.1 or 256GB/512GB UFS 4.0.
The OnePlus Nord 4 has a 6.74-inch Super Fluid AMOLED panel that has a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a resolution of 1240p. It has a hole for the 16 MP selfie camera.
The back has a 50MP main shooter with OIS and EIS and an 8MP ultrawide. The main camera can record videos in up to 4K resolution and 60 fps.
The Nord 4 has a 5,500mAh battery with 100W wired charging support that helps it reach 100% in less than 30 minutes. However, you will need to purchase a charger separately as it will not be included in the package.
The battery will retain at least 80% of its capacity after 1,600 full cycles, which should do anyone worried about fast charging causing excessive degradation.
OnePlus was aiming for a metal unibody from the start, which required innovative solutions. They relocated the U-shaped antennas and added small pillars to the inside of the phone’s back cover, effectively halving the antenna size and boosting signal amplification.
The name of the new design is called Nordtones and the phone is available in Mercurial Silver, Oasis Green and Obsidian Midnight.
OnePlus also introduced the Nord 4 as the first international phone with a mid-range AI chipset. Features enabled are AI Audio Summary, AI Note Summar and AI Linkboost which reconnects to mobile networks “faster than ever”.
The Nord 4 also offers an AI Groupfie mode that artificially changes people’s eyes in group shots for a more successful effect.
The phone runs Oxygen OS 14.1 based on Android 14 and OnePlus has promised 4 Android version updates and six years of security updates, meaning it will be supported until 2030.
In Europe, the OnePlus Nord 4 costs £429/€499 for the 12/256GB version, while the top-of-the-line 16/512GB option costs £529/€599. Pre-orders are already open and those who pre-order will receive free Nord Buds 3 Pro TWS headphones and a €50 discount if they choose the larger storage version. Open sales start on August 8th.
