Smartphones now feature backs made of polycarbonate, glass, leather, and ceramic. The shift from metal to these materials is due to various reasons, such as reduced signal interference, lower weight, improved heat dissipation, increased design flexibility, and better wireless charging compatibility, However, a new leak indicates that OnePlus is planning to launch a smartphone with a metal back, adding a touch of creativity. This phone appears to be the upcoming OnePlus Nord 4.
OnePlus Nord 4 design
OnePlus recently confirmed that it will hold its next launch event on July 16 for the global market. The event is expected to see the arrival of multiple products, such as the OnePlus Nord 4, the OnePlus Watch 2R, and the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro. Reports have claimed that the Nord 4 will be a rebranded version of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3-powered OnePlus Ace 3V, which debuted in China a couple of months ago.
Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared a schematic via his Weibo handle, revealing an upcoming OnePlus phone with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip for the global market. This implies that he may have unveiled the design of the OnePlus Nord 4. He claimed that the camera decoration is made of glass, while the rest of the body, including the middle frame, is a one-piece metal construction. The device features a dual-camera system arranged horizontally.
The schematic is identical to the real-life image of the OnePlus Nord 4 shared by tipster Sanju. The specifications mentioned by the tipster are an exact match with China’s Ace 3V. So, the Nord 4 could be a rebranded Ace 3V with a renewed back panel. We still need to see if the Nord 4 offers different specifications from its Chinese counterpart.
