OnePlus Nord CE4 Specifications and Design
The Official-Looking renders show the phone will have an interesting design language. It will take a major departure from the OnePlus 11-12 design adopted in recent releases. Instead, the device will elongate the island with an oval shape. It will house two camera modules and an LED flash that are vertically aligned. The display has thin bezels all around with a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera. As usual in the mid-range department, the phone’s display is flat.
Gizchina News of the week
The OnePlus Nord CE4 allegedly comes with a 6.7-inch LTPS AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the phone will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is definitively a step forward for this particular lineup in terms of performance. It can easily run most of the applications and even demanding games will run fine with high graphics settings. It’s an Octa-Core chipset with 4nm fabrication. It has 1 x ARM Cortex-A715 core at 2,63 GHz, 3 x ARM Cortex-A715 cores at 2.4 GHz, and 4 x ARM Cortex-A510 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. It has an Adreno 720 GPU.
The phone will come in options with 128 GB or 256 GB of Expandable UFS 3.1 storage. Yeah, it seems that the OnePlus Nord CE4 will come with support for micro SD cards.
50 MP Camera and 100W SuperVOOC Charging
On the rear, the OnePlus Nord CE4 will feature a 50 MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization. It will use a Sony Lytia LYT-600 sensor. The device will also bring an 8 MP ultrawide camera using Sony’s IMX355 snapper. For selfies and video calls, there will be a 16 MP shooter. The phone has a 5,500 mAh battery with support for 100W fast wired charging. According to OnePlus, the phone uses SuperVOOC technology, and it ensures a day’s power in 15 minutes. Of Course, we expect the brand to disclose the charging times at the phone’s release.
It will also support 100W SuperVOOC charging, advertised to offer “a day’s power in 15 minutes.” In terms of software, it will run Android 14 with OxygenOS 14 straight out of the box. The handset will sell in Celadon Marble and Dark Chrome.
Pricing in India Hinted
OnePlus confirmed the chipset, RAM amount, maximum storage, screen resolution, and refresh rate. The two color options and the charging speed have been hinted at as well. The only missing aspect is the pricing, and today’s info shed some light on this area. According to the rumor, the 8 GB RAM / 128 GB Storage variant will sell for INR 24,999 ($299 or €277 at current exchange rates). The higher model with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB Storage will cost INR 26,999 ($323).
Of Course, some of the details are missing, and we need to wait to see if the leaks are in line with the final product. Thankfully, April 1 is the next Monday, and won’t need to wait much to get the phone in all its glory. The OnePlus Nord CE4 will launch in India, but we are curious to see if OnePlus will bring it to other markets in the future.
