OnePlus Nord CE 4 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

OnePlus Nord CE 4 - an improvement in the mid-range segment

The Chinese company OnePlus is known for its excellent flagship smartphones, combining optimized software, top-end specifications and a reasonable price. Unfortunately, less expensive phones are more controversial from the manufacturer. However, an experienced developer decided to correct the situation in the hero of today's review.

The appearance of the new product resembles that of the brand’s expensive devices. The familiar circle of photo modules on the rear glass panel looks beautiful and modern; the modest thickness of the case and small display frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner are impressive. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen does not focus on image clarity, because its resolution is 2400x1080 pixels, which is usual for the price category. However, the AMOLED panel pleases with other parameters, namely smoothness at a picture refresh rate of 120Hz, a brightness reserve of 1500 nits, and excellent color reproduction.

It’s hard to find fault with the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. Together with 8GB of RAM and the Adreno 720 video core, the latest chipset demonstrates a result of approximately 850 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark. This achievement ensures not only the extremely smooth interface of the Android 14 OS, but also the stable operation of all existing applications and games. Even fans of the resource-intensive Genshin Impact, Fortnite, and Undecember will not be left without their favorite entertainment, although most likely with medium-high graphic settings. Thanks to the energy-efficient CPU, the 5000 mAh battery guarantees about one and a half days of active use of the mobile assistant. We saved on wireless charging, but the power of wired charging was increased to an impressive 100W. You won’t have to stay at the outlet for more than 20 minutes. The size of permanent memory has reached 256GB. It's a pity that there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

The main 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel photo sensors are no worse than those of opponents. The main module is equipped with hybrid stabilization, which significantly improves evening photography. The abundance of details with a small amount of noise makes an excellent impression. Auxiliary cameras are simpler, and the buyer will use them less often. The stereo sound is quite loud and rich, you can’t criticize it for its quality. NFC contactless payment and support for 5G networks combine with the previously mentioned advantages and turn the device into a potential hit with a proper marketing campaign.
