OnePlus is sticking to its summer date and the successor is coming just a year after the launch of the OnePlus Nord 3. OnePlus Nord 4 is here and wants to carve out a niche as one of the best quality, affordable phones around; it’s a very close fight that has a lot to say about it.

The first thing that caught our attention is the OnePlus Nord 4 5G, which its predecessor had, is losing its surnameno connectivity though. Perhaps a sign that 5G is no longer the hype it once was. Let’s see what the new OnePlus has to offer us.

OnePlus Nord 4 spec sheet

Back to metal unibody

A few years ago, metal designs were at the top of the range. However, over time, designs that combined metal and glass fell apart because metal blocked the signal and the placement of antennas was too complicated. With the advent of 5G, even more antennas have appeared, but OnePlus is determined to bring this trend back. They actually boast about the unibody metal chassis, but they’ve made the antennas smaller and placed them in a way that doesn’t compromise coverage.

The terminal comes in three colors, with a dual-surface rear surface, where the area where the cameras are located has a more glossy texture, while the bottom part is different for each color. The silver model has a kind of diagonal stripe, the green one has a matte finish and the black one is finished in brushed metal.

Speaking of cameras, OnePlus is going for simplicity and has installed a dual camera system. 50 megapixels and Sony LYTIA sensorThe secondary one is an ultra-wide angle with an 8-megapixel sensor. The front camera has a 16-megapixel sensor.

Continuing with the front, the OnePlus Nord 4, Super Fluid AMOLED display, That means it has a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a 450 pixel per inch density and Ultra HDR.

Equal hardware and software guarantee

If we lift the metal hood, we find a technical profile that, although not reaching the highest level, does not disappoint. The chip chosen by OnePlus is a Third-generation Snapdragon 7 Plus, It is accompanied by 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage to choose from, 256 or 512 GB.

The battery has capacity 5,500mAh and 100W SuperVOOC fast charging. Additionally, OnePlus claims that the battery can last longer with more capacity and also increase fluidity thanks to its AI learning engine. OnePlus calls this ‘Trinity Engine’ and claims that it can keep the CPU, RAM, and ROM in top condition for longer.

As for software, OnePlus promises to offer four years of Android updates and six years of security patches. That doesn’t quite reach the seven years offered by Samsung and Google, but it’s a fact. It is not very common to find these compromises in the mid-range (Except Pixel 8a). Applause to OnePlus.
