At its Summer Launch event, OnePlus introduced the latest addition to its mid-range lineup, the Nord 4 smartphone. Sporting a sleek metallic unibody design, the Nord 4 is packed with advanced artificial intelligence, including media editing, audio transcription, text generation, and text summarisation.
First, the specs, the OnePlus Nord 4 showcases an aluminium unibody design, echoing the aesthetics of the OnePlus 3 series. The Nord 4 features a 6.74-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 system-on-chip (SoC) and has up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM. Storage options include 128GB with UFS 3.1 and 256GB with UFS 4.0. OnePlus has also promised software updates for four years and security patches for six years.
The rear dual-camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor (Sony LYTIA) with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and electronic image stabilisation (EIS), alongside an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor. For selfies, there's a 16MP front camera.
As for AI, the smartphone is said to include advanced media editing tools like “AI Best Face” and “AI Eraser.” OnePlus says the AI Best Face feature is designed to recognise human faces and expressions, enhancing group photos by "magically opening" the eyes of the subjects. Meanwhile, the AI Clear Face feature will add extra definition to faces. While AI Clear Face will be available initially, AI Best Face will roll out later this year. These join the existing suite of AI tools, including AI Eraser and Smart Cutout.
To keep all these features up and running, the smartphone is powered by a 5,500mAh battery, supported by 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging. Additionally, OnePlus has integrated its proprietary “Battery Health Engine” tech, which intelligently adapts to your charging habits to optimise power input and charging times. There are three colourways to choose from – Obsidian Midnight, Mercurial Silver and Oasis Green. The OnePlus Nord 4 is offered in three configurations to suit different needs – the 8GB RAM with 128GB storage variant is priced at ₹29,999, the 8GB RAM with 256GB storage variant is available for ₹32,999, and the 12GB RAM with 256GB storage variant comes at ₹35,999.
