The Nord series was initially meant to fill the gap OnePlus left behind when its flagship killers started climbing up the price ladder. While the first phone call was quite convincing, the second and third interactions failed to leave a mark. Now that the Nord 4 is here, with a fresh new design and attractive specs, could this be the perfect midrange to choose this year? I've been using the phone for about a week, and after thorough testing, I'll share my honest impressions in this OnePlus Nord 4 review.

In 2024, when brands don't even bother to ship charging adapters on a budget phone; OnePlus manages to bundle everything you need with your new phone. Here are the contents of the box.

The recently released CMF Phone 1 brought back a nostalgic trend in smartphones with a new twist with the backs. And I didn't expect to see the resurrection of an old style so soon. Yes, the OnePlus Nord 4 brings back the metal body from what I consider to be the golden era of smartphones.

It even takes design cues from one of the best Android smartphones of the time, the Google Pixel 2. With its half-glass, half-metal design and horizontally oriented camera. Which, by the way, prevents the phone from wobbling when it's lying flat. The silver variant of the Nord 4 even has an orange accent for the warning slider. Probably a nod to the orange power button on the same phone.
