Reviews for the OnePlus Nord 4

85% OnePlus Nord 4 review: the best Nord smartphone yet?
Source: 91mobiles
OnePlus’s efforts to push the boundaries with design and battery have truly paid off, making the Nord 4 a highly impressive smartphone. It may not be the most powerful device in its segment, but it gets the job done for most users. The cameras are decent, if not the best. However, I’d still recommend the POCO F6 (review) or the much more affordable Infinix GT 20 Pro (review) for hardcore gamers. Upcoming content creators may also want to look at the Realme GT 6T only if only shooting 4K videos with the front camera matters to you. But if you want a reliable performing device with an out-of-the-box design, the Nord 4 will surely impress.

80% OnePlus Nord 4 Review: 5G Metal Midrange Hero At An Enticing Price
Source: Slashgear
With the Nord 4, OnePlus has delivered a pretty solid package that ticks all the boxes you would expect from a solid mid-ranger phone, and then some more. It's got a standout design with a build quality to match. The 120Hz OLED display is beautiful and the grunt served by the Qualcomm silicon inside is also impressive. The standout elements are the large 5,500 mah battery and support for 100W fast charging. The cameras on this one also pack a punch, though they could use a bit of color tuning that can do justice to all the fine details it otherwise captures in every frame. A software update should easily take care of that. The commitment of four Android OS upgrades is yet another crucial selling point.

80% OnePlus Nord 4 review: A delightfully crafted ‘solid’ mid-range smartphone
Source: The Indian Express
Most mid-range smartphones seem to compromise on a thing or two, and the Nord 4 is taking the hit with its camera. Except that, it’s a text-book perfect smartphone that can handle everyday tasks with ease. If you are in search of a new phone with robust build quality, excellent performance, great display, and superior battery life, the Nord 4 is the answer.

80% OnePlus Nord 4 review: Old-school heavy metal
Source: Expert Reviews
The cameras may not be game changers but there’s still a lot to be impressed by with the OnePlus Nord 4. The battery life, while worth taking with a grain of salt, is some of the best you can get from phones of any price, let alone a mid-ranger like this. The display gets nice and bright under the right conditions, too, and colour accuracy was on point throughout. I’m not sold on the necessity of the all-metal design – it does feel nicely solid but the other edge of that sword is that the handset is heavier than it really needed to be.

90% OnePlus Nord 4 review: Looks and performs like a flagship
Source: Tech Advisor
If you have around £500 to spend on a new Android phone, the answer is probably yes. The Nord 4 has weaknesses, but you’ll struggle to find better value for money at this price point. The build, display, battery life and main camera are all very impressive, making it a strong all-rounder. And while OnePlus’ Android skin isn’t as slick as it once was, the phone is still very easy to use, and now offers six years of security updates. Downsides include a disappointing ultrawide camera, unusual two-tone rear design and the lack of a 100W charger in the box.

80% OnePlus Nord 4 review: Metal's back in fashion
Source: Tom's Guide
It's been another strong showing from OnePlus with the Nord 4, offering potential buyers one of the most attractive, efficient and hardware-generous phones of the year. It's definitely one of the best cheap phones you can buy, assuming you can buy it where you live. If you're wanting maximum potential value, then the Pixel 8a still wins out with its longer software support, with its more reliable cameras adding an extra incentive on top. But the Nord 4's cheaper starting price may be all the reason you need to go for it instead of the Pixel. Though don't forget the Galaxy A55, which is similarly cheap but offers a better camera experience in exchange for some feature quality elsewhere.

First Impressions: OnePlus Nord 4
Source: Trusted Reviews
The mid-range smartphone market is full of competition from the likes of Xiaomi, Google and Samsung among others, but OnePlus could carve out its own space with the Nord 4. The all-metal design separates it from every other 5G phone on the market, and coupled with a decent spec and a tempting price tag, it could prove popular – but I’ll save my final thoughts for the full review, coming very soon.

71% OnePlus Nord 4 Review: Metallic marvel
Source: Think Digit
The OnePlus Nord 4 blends modern flair with a touch of nostalgia. Its metallic body brings back memories of metal phones from back in the day but its hardware hasn’t been compromised to achieve the same. The phone is powerful enough to play most mobile games with zero lag which makes it a worthy competitor of the POCO F6 and Realme GT 6T, and it also has enough substance to stand out in terms of the display and battery life. There are a few shortcomings though. The phone throttles in benchmarks but I didn’t see an adverse effect on day-to-day usage, but the mediocre ultrawide camera and lack of HDR support on a few streaming apps are troublesome.

70% I reviewed the OnePlus Nord 4, and I found something surprising
Source: Digital Trends
The OnePlus Nord 4’s metal body is cool, and it’s great to see the process being explored again after lying dormant for so long. However, you’ve got to really appreciate the engineering and feel of the all-metal phone, as there are some missing features that hurt the phone. There’s no wireless charging and no proprietary fast-charger in the box. The camera is a little ordinary, and while IP65 will probably be fine, other phones do better at this price. The software remains love-it-or-hate-it, and it’s less pleasurable to use than Android on the Pixel 8a, for example. On a more positive note, I love the way the phone feels in my hand, and it’s just about the perfect weight.

80% OnePlus Nord 4 Review: All-Metal Mettle
Source: NDTV Gadgets
Despite a few drawbacks, the Oneplus Nord 4 offers a lot of value for a smartphone priced under Rs. 30,000. It delivers reliable day-to-day performance, fast battery charging, a good primary camera, and an ideal software support window. The slightly less impressive ultra-wide angle camera and unwanted software on the smartphone are the only things holding it back, and one of those can be resolved by uninstalling or disabling the apps in question. While the Nord 4 is definitely worth your consideration, other phones in the same price segment that also offer good value include the Realme GT 6T and the Poco F6 (Review). Both these phones offer performance that is on par with the OnePlus Nord 4, but the latter's camera performance leaves a little to be desired, as we found in our review of the handset.

86% OnePlus Nord 4 review
Source: GSM Arena
All in all, the OnePlus Nord 4 remains competitive in its price range by offering a unique design approach, excellent battery life, speedy charging and great performance thanks to its Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip. The camera experience is a mixed bag, but we tend to like the photos taken with the main camera in 1x Photo mode. The absence of stabilized 4K video recording is the bigger con in our books, though. Having 256GB storage by default would have made the Nord 4 a tad more competitive as at least half of the phones in the same price bracket start from 128GB. The promised 4 years of software support will likely draw some users who are already on the fence. So, do we recommend the Nord 4? For the most part, yes. Once the dust (and pricing) settles, it may even become a bargain, even. But for now, you'd get more competitive camera performance for the money elsewhere.

85% OnePlus Nord 4 5G review: The best in its segment
Source: India Today
I have tested the Oppo Reno 12 Pro, Xiaomi 14 Civi, and the Realme 12 Pro+ this year, while all these phones had their pros and cons, and so does the OnePlus Nord 4 5G, but what makes the OnePlus Nord 4 5G the easiest to recommend is its pricing. The Nord 4 is priced starting Rs 29,999 for the base variant, and the top model that we have been testing is priced at Rs 35,999. That's just really good pricing. Beyond the price too, the Nord 4 offers a well-rounded performance, good cameras, a beautiful design, and an excellent battery life.

Hands-on with the fullmetal OnePlus Nord 4
Source: Mobile Syrup
OnePlus has officially launched the Nord 4, and while the handset isn’t formally stepping on North American soil, I got the opportunity to go hands-on with this all-metal device. I’ve never reviewed or even gone hands-on with a OnePlus device, but unfortunately, our OnePlus expert, Brad Bennett, could not make the Milan, Italy, hands-on event, so I took his spot. While I don’t have much experience with OnePlus devices, I have a lot of experience reviewing and trying out different handsets, and the Nord 4 stands out. It’s a device with a unibody metal design that feels great to touch and play around with. It was also lighter than I expected, considering the material. The glass display lies flush with the metal sides, so there aren’t any sharp edges.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
