Features IP54 rating and innovative Aqua Touch technology. The OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G enters a bustling Indian mid-range market priced at Rs 24,999, and aiming to deliver the "Core Experience" that OnePlus champions. The CE lineup is not new to OnePlus with several iterations already under its belt. However, this time there is a shift in strategy with the company opting to launch the Nord CE 4 before the Nord 4. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G Review: Unboxing Amidst a fiercely competitive segment filled with strong contenders like POCO, iQOO, Redmi, and Samsung, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 seeks to carve out its niche. Does this device stand out enough to warrant your attention? Join me as I explore the intricacies of the OnePlus Nord CE 4 in my detailed review, assessing whether it lives up to the hype and meets the demands of discerning mid-range buyers. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Key Specs OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Key Specs Display: 6.7-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR support Processor: Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 Camera: 50MP primary, 8MP ultra-wide, 16MP front Battery: 5,500mAh, 100W fast charging OS: OxygenOS based on Android 14 Storage: 128GB/256GB RAM: 8GB Additional Features: IP54 rating, Aqua Touch OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Pros and Cons Pros Cons Fresh design Average low light performance Strong battery Some bloatware Good performance Bright display OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Design and Display OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Design The OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G not only introduces a new price point but also debuts a fresh design aesthetic expected from the yet-to-be-released, more premium Nord 4. In my eyes the device sets itself apart with its eye-catching green hue, featuring a subtle marbled effect that distinguishes it from others in the same price range. I had the chance to review the marble-inspired edition, which sports a vibrant and youthful appeal. For those with a taste for the classics, OnePlus offers a standard black version known as Dark Chrome. In terms of build, the Nord CE 4 feels robust despite its plastic body, mimicking a glass-like finish at the back. After a thorough inspection, I felt that the Nord CE 4’s unique design element is its slightly raised, capsule-shaped camera module which is transparent, cleverly showcasing the marbling beneath. This thoughtful aesthetic that merges functionality with style might well appeal to a youthful audience looking for something a bit different. And trust me, this device is different. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Display The OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G features a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, boasting a full HD+ resolution of 2,412 x 1,080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz, which ensures smooth scrolling and dynamic visuals. I like that the display supports HDR playback on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, enhancing the viewing experience with deep blacks and vibrant, albeit sometimes overly punchy, colors. The slim bezels contribute to an immersive screen presence, making media consumption particularly enjoyable. Additionally, the AMOLED panel facilitates an always-on display (AOD) feature and houses an optical fingerprint reader for enhanced security and ease of access. A standout feature of the Nord CE 4 is its IP54 rating, which offers resistance to dust and splashes, suitable for everyday challenges. One of the more intriguing features is the Aqua Touch technology, similar to that found in the higher-end OnePlus 12, that allows the touchscreen to be responsive even when the fingers are wet. I tried it out and got surprisingly good results most of the time. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Cameras OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Cameras Coming now to the optical capabilities, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G introduces a significant shift in its camera setup by opting for the 50MP LYT600 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, moving away from the previously utilised Sony IMX890 sensor. In broad daylight, this new primary camera performs admirably, capturing detailed, colour-accurate images suitable for everyday photography. It tends to preserve natural colours and manages a balanced white balance even under harsh sunlight, though it occasionally struggles with capturing the correct tone of dark blue. The device maintains a natural look in skin tones, but the software has a tendency to soften facial details. The portrait mode impresses with its rich bokeh effect and precise edge detection. While the "Hi-Res" mode is capable of capturing crisp details, colour consistency varies. Generally, though the output was to my liking. The 8MP ultra-wide camera presents similar colour reproduction to the primary sensor but falls short in terms of dynamic range. Unlike its predecessor, the Nord CE4 does not include a dedicated macro camera, limiting its capability for extreme close-up shots. The 16MP front-facing camera is quite capable, producing detailed selfies with effective edge detection in portrait mode. Low light conditions, however, present challenges for the Nord CE4; details become less distinct, textures can appear flat, and noise becomes noticeable in dimly lit environments. Despite these drawbacks, the dynamic range tends to be restricted, particularly in poorly lit street scenes, resulting in less detail in shadows and dark areas. I do have to give some credit also to OnePlus for the user experience with its cleanly designed camera UI, which simplifies access to various modes and filters, adding to the overall usability of the camera system on the Nord CE4. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Day Camera Samples OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Night Camera Samples OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Day Video OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Night Video OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Performance and Features This OnePlus handset is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and offers 8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. I did not notice any lag or heating issues while using the device. It is fairly capable of handling day-to-day tasks like scrolling through social media. The base variant now offers 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, priced at Rs 24,999. The top model (Rs 26,999), which I am also using, offers 256GB storage. With synthetic benchmarks, the phone managed scores that were on par with devices both at and above its price point. The phone offers mid-range graphics performance but falls short when it comes to fast-paced first-person shooter games. Audio output was great enough for normal usecases and the fingerprint sensor was snappy at authentication. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Software and Battery OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Software The OnePlus Nord CE4 delivers a streamlined software experience with its iteration of OxygenOS based on Android 14, ensuring a smooth and responsive user interface. Despite its generally clean setup, the device comes with some pre-installed apps, which some users might find unnecessary and may choose to uninstall. There are elements from Oppo's ColorOS 14 incorporated in the the Nord CE4 which isn’t a bad thing by any means. Notably, it includes Fluid Cloud, a feature similar to Apple's Dynamic Island, which integrates interactive capabilities within the status bar. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Battery Additionally, the device leverages AI with Smart Image Matting for enhanced image editing, and it offers practical functionality like File Dock, allowing for easy drag-and-drop file management from the Smart Sidebar into supported apps. Battery performance on the Nord CE4 is a standout aspect, with its 5,500 mAh capacity providing more than enough power to last through a day, even with high usage involving the always-on display (AOD) and the high refresh rate screen. The phone's design manages to keep a similar weight to its predecessors at 186 grams, despite the larger battery. Moreover, the 100W fast charging capability is a significant upgrade, capable of recharging the battery from empty to full in just under 40 minutes, making it an excellent choice for users with heavy mobile demands. OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Final Verdict OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G: Final Verdict The OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G is an enticing proposition at Rs 24,999. It has a distinctive design, solid performance, and robust battery life. It challenges the mid-range market with unique features and OnePlus's signature OxygenOS experience. While it performs admirably in many aspects, the camera system and the presence of bloatware might give some potential buyers pause. However, for those valuing design, display quality, and software experience over cutting-edge camera capabilities, the Nord CE 4 stands out as a strong contender. 5 Reasons to Buy 5 Reasons to Buy Appealing Design: The unique marbled back and slim design offer a fresh look not commonly found in this segment.
