The “28μm” (28 micrometers) measurement shows the depth of the crease that the screen develops after a certain number of folds.

OnePlus Nord 4 Scores Low On Reparability, Gets 4 on 10 in PBKReviews

0

Highlight

  • The OnePlus Nord 4 features a durable aluminium unibody design.
  • A teardown by PBKReviews shows the metal back is difficult to remove, earning a low repairability score.
  • It received an overall repairability score of 4 out of 10.

The recently launched OnePlus Nord 4 celebrated the metal design with an aluminium unibody.

Everyone cheered for OnePlus Nord 4 being the first 5G phone to do so. This design choice gives the phone a more durable and rugged feel, something we appreciate.

But it turns out every positive comes with its own set of negatives for us to deal with.

Because OnePlus Nord 4’s metal design is also what makes repairing the device extra challenging.

A teardown by PBKReviews shows just how tough it is to get inside the Nord 4.

The video highlights that the metal back, which contributes to the phone’s sturdiness, is extremely difficult to remove, complicating access to the internal components.

The screen is especially tricky to replace, earning a low score of 0.5/2, similar to the score for the phone’s internal layout.

Availability of parts, battery replacement ease, and replacing other small components each scored a 1/2, leading to an overall repairability score of 4 out of 10.

Even removing the top glass cover proved challenging, despite initial success with a plastic tool.

The metal back, however, required the use of metal tools, increasing the risk of scratches or dents on the sleek aluminium surface.

While prying off the metal is the hardest part of any repair, things do get easier after that.

However, Nord 4’s repairability score remains at 4 out of 10, where 10 represents the easiest to repair.

On the bright side, the aluminium build of the Nord 4 appears more durable than the typical glass-backed smartphones. Its Oasis Green shell resisted bending even with its slim design.

Plus, the phone’s IP65 rating means it can handle minor dust and water exposure.

Lastly, the phone’s 5,500mAh battery is housed in an adhesive pouch, making it somewhat easier to remove and replace compared to other components.

FAQs

Q1. What are smart home devices?

Answer. Smart home devices are electronic gadgets that connect to your home network and can be controlled remotely via a smartphone, tablet, or voice commands.

They include items like smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and smart speakers, all designed to make your home more convenient, secure, and energy-efficient.

Q2. How do smart home devices work?

Answer. Smart home devices typically connect to your home Wi-Fi network and can be controlled through a dedicated app or a smart home hub.

They use various communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave to interact with each other and with your smartphone or voice assistant, allowing you to manage them remotely.

Q3. Are smart home devices secure?

While smart home devices offer many conveniences, security can be a concern.

It’s important to use strong, unique passwords for your devices and home network, keep your devices’ firmware updated, and consider using devices from reputable brands that prioritize security.

Additionally, enabling two-factor authentication can add an extra layer of protection.

Q4. Can smart home devices save energy?

Answer. Yes, smart home devices can help save energy. For example, smart thermostats can learn your schedule and adjust the temperature accordingly, reducing energy consumption.

Smart lights can be programmed to turn off when not in use, and smart plugs can cut power to devices that are not needed, all contributing to lower energy bills.

Q5. Do I need a smart home hub?

Answer. A smart home hub is not always necessary, but it can be useful if you have multiple smart devices from different brands.

A hub can centralize control, allowing you to manage all your devices from a single app.

Some popular hubs include Amazon Echo, Google Nest Hub, and Samsung SmartThings Hub.

However, many smart devices can also work independently through their apps.

OxygenOS Update: OnePlus Launches “OTA-like System Update”

Highlight

  • OnePlus is introducing a new monthly update series for OxygenOS, starting in August.
  • These updates focus on improving OnePlus’s self-developed apps and enhancing system stability.
  • Unlike typical OTA updates, this update appears in the usual update section.
  • The update is being rolled out in phases.
  • May take until September 6 for all users to receive it.

OnePlus is rolling out a new type of update for its OxygenOS devices.

It’s not the typical over-the-air (OTA) update.

Instead, OnePlus is calling it an “OTA-like system update” that will allow users to “enjoy the latest enhancements and improvements right away, bypassing the usual gradual OTA (Over-The-Air) rollout process.”

August OxygenOS update will appear in the same place where you usually find OTA updates on your device, but you won’t be able to flash it manually.

The company has introduced a “new monthly update series” for OxygenOS, starting this month.

For August, there are two versions: U120P01 and U120P02.

These updates are focused on improving and adding new features to OnePlus’s self-developed apps.

While announcing the update the company said, “We are excited to announce the launch of version U120P01 & version U120P02, a new monthly software update series for OnePlus devices which will be incorporated into the regular system upgrades.

This update is set to enhance your experience by introducing OnePlus’s self-developed apps along with a range of new features. With this update, you can enjoy the latest enhancements and improvements right away, bypassing the usual gradual OTA (Over-The-Air) rollout process.”

“We encourage all users to check for this update and install it promptly to benefit from the new features and improvements. Detailed information about the updates will be available within the update itself. Stay tuned for further announcements as we continue to roll out these enhancements,” the company added.

The update itself is relatively minor, mainly offering some changes to the calculator app and general system stability improvements, similar to what you might see in a security patch.

Interestingly, this update isn’t categorized as a regular OTA update like a security patch or version upgrade.

However, you can find it in the usual spot under Settings > About device > OxygenOS card section.

OnePlus is treating this update differently because it doesn’t follow the typical OTA rollout process, which can sometimes be slow to reach all users.

OnePlus listed models for the rollout in stages.

The August update is currently being rolled out.

The company is rolling out the update in phases, and it may take until September 6 for everyone to receive it.

So keep an eye out for it on your device.

OnePlus further issues a note for all users – “Some functions depend on the software and hardware support of the device. Different models may have different functions, and the version release time of the models may also be different. Please refer to the actual presentation effect and the official channel information such as the update log or in-app instructions displayed on the mobile phone.”

Before the August 2024 update, the last significant OxygenOS update was OxygenOS 14.

This update was also rolled out in phases, starting with a closed beta program in India on August 4, 2023.

That was followed by open beta releases in September.

And finally, the stable build was released in November 2023.

The OxygenOS 14 update introduced several key enhancements, including the Trinity Engine for improved performance, Aquamorphic Design 2.0 for dynamic accent colours, and enhanced security features like Strong Box Device Security Engine 3.0.

Usability improvements such as Global Search, Smart Touch, and Multi-Screen Connect 2.0 were also added, along with updates to the Zen Space for better digital well-being.

The Edge 50 also introduces some AI-powered features

The Motorola Edge 50 stands out as a well-rounded mid-range offering that punches above its weight in several areas.

Its durable yet premium design, versatile camera system, and clean software experience make it a compelling choice for users seeking flagship-like features at a more accessible price point.

While it faces stiff competition in a crowded market segment, the Edge 50’s combination of performance, camera capabilities, and battery life position it as a strong contender.

The addition of features like military-grade durability and fast charging further enhance its appeal.
