Update: OnePlus Ace 3V may release as OnePlus Nord 4 in global markets. While OnePlus Nord CE 4 could be international version of upcoming Oppo K12.
Original Story:
Recently, OnePlus took wraps off a mid-range smartphone dubbed the OnePlus Ace 3V in China. The global version of this product called the OnePlus Nord CE 4 is scheduled to go official on April 1.
Based on the information available so far, the upcoming international variant will be different from its Chinese counterpart. Unfortunately, it won’t be better but rather downgraded.
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 will differ in three key areas. Let’s go through them one by one.
The main highlight of OnnePlus Ace 3V is its Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 SoC. It is the world’s first smartphone to use this chipset.
However, the OnePlus Nord CE 4, the device’s global variant, will house an older and less powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 mobile platform. Although it’s not a bad chip per se, it is surely a downgrade.
That’s because the latest Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 features a more powerful CPU comprising 1 x 2.8GHz Cortex-X4 core, 4 x 2.6GHz Cortex-A720 cores, and 3 x 1.9GHz Cortex-A520 cores. Whereas the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3’s CPU consists of 1 x 2.63GHz Cortex-A715 core, 3 x 2.4GHz Cortex-A715 cores, and 4 x 1.8GHz Cortex-A510 cores.
The plus variant SoC also has a faster GPU and a better ISP.
2. Slower and Lower Storage
The OnePlus Ace 3V arrives with up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage.
On the other hand, the forthcoming OnePlus Nord CE 4 will be limited to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
However, unlike the Ace, the Nord will come with a MicroSD card slot, which can used to expand storage by up to 1TB.
3. Inferior Display
The OnePlsu Ace 3 flaunts a 6.74-inch flat AMOLED display with a resolution of 2772 × 1240 pixels (1.5K), 450 PPI, and a 120Hz refresh rate. This panel supports DC dimming, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and 2150 nits local peak brightness level.
As of writing this article, we don’t know the size of the OnePlus Nord CE 4’s AMOLED display. However, it is known that it will have an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh. Therefore, the screen should be less sharper than the one on Ace 3V.
