Over the years, the OnePlus Nord series went through a lot of changes. The newer models not only came with spec upgrades but also overhauled designs and price hikes.
The Nord 4 gets a price cut instead of a hike. It comes with a completely new design and uses a new build of materials. At the same time, it brings spec upgrades like its forerunners.
The device starts at ₹29,999, which makes it a sub-₹30,000 smartphone in India. This is the hottest category in the country for the last few years.
There are a number of alternatives. However, there are certain things that help OnePlus Nord 4 stand out from its competitors. Let’s have a look at them.
The OnePlus Nord 4 is the only metal unibody smartphone in India right now. Years ago, this was a norm until glass and plastic backs took over.
Metal phones are known to offer better durability. The device’s body may get dents or scratches but it would not crack like handsets with plastic or glass panels.
Additionally, the Nord 4 arrives with a dual finish on the back. The camera part of the panel uses glass like the first three generations of Google Pixel smartphones.
Talking about cameras, they are laid horizontally. Thus, it is easy to keep them free of smudges.
The product can be availed in three colors. You can go subtle with Obsidian Midnight or go fancy with either Mercurial Silver or Oasis Green.
2. Longest Software Support
The OnePlus Nord 4 boots OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14. The brand promises 6 years of software updates since release.
The software coverage includes 4 Android updates and 6 years of security updates. This means the phone will receive up to Android 18. Whereas security updates will be available until 2030.
This puts the Nord 4 ahead of any other phones in the segment. In fact, even the brand’s own OnePlus 12 is only guaranteed 5 years of software support.
On top of this, OnePlus claims 4 years of peak battery capacity. Even if the battery degrades, your can replace it at a much cheaper price than investing in a new smartphone.
3. Premium Experience
OnePlus is known for its premiumness in India. The brand has positioned itself in a way that it is compared with the likes of Apple and Samsung in the country.
The unboxing experience is unlike other brands. You get a color-matching high-quality case for most phones. The required adapter and cable for fast charging are bundled. You also get a Red Cable membership card and brand stickers.
Further, OnePlus is also known for its after-sales service. It is the only brand to offer assistance for the infamous ‘green line’ issue.
4. Better Deals With Ageing
OnePlus regularly discounts its products now. It wasn’t the case earlier.
The offers get much better as the devices get older. Also, these discounts are mostly available across both offline and online channels.
The OnePlus Nord 4 may start at ₹29,999 for 8GB + 128GB right now. But it won’t be the same in the next few months.
Going by historical data, the 8GB + 256GB (₹32,999) and 12GB + 256GB (₹35,999) variants could also go on sale for less than ₹30,000.
