OnePlus Nord 4 Unveiled: A Mid-Range Contender with a Premium Feel

OnePlus has officially unveiled the OnePlus Nord 4, the latest addition to its popular Nord series of mid-range smartphones. This highly anticipated device boasts a series of impressive features designed to offer users a powerful and stylish smartphone experience without breaking the bank.

The Nord 4 breaks away from the plastic construction typical of mid-range phones by sporting a sleek and sophisticated metal unibody design. This distinctive feature not only elevates the phone’s aesthetics but also feels incredibly comfortable and premium in hand. The back features a unique camera layout with a raised platform housing the camera lenses and flash, adding a touch of visual intrigue.

The Nord 4 boasts a versatile triple-camera system on the rear. It comes with a main sensor with a resolution of 50-megapixel, accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor. This setup should allow you to capture stunning photos and videos in various lighting conditions, whether you’re shooting expansive landscapes, close-up details, or everyday moments.

The Nord 4 packs a punch under the hood with the all-new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset. This processor promises significant performance improvements over its predecessors, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience for everyday tasks like browsing the web, social media scrolling, and even light gaming.

OnePlus has built a reputation for offering extended software support for its devices, and the Nord 4 is no exception. The phone is confirmed to receive at least 6 years of software updates, which includes 2 major Android version upgrades and 4 years of security patches. This extended support ensures your phone stays protected and up-to-date with the latest features and security fixes for years to come.

The Nord 4 features a large, 6.74-inch Super Fluid AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. This combination should provide an enjoyable viewing experience for watching videos, playing games, and consuming other visual content.

The Nord 4 is equipped with a sizeable battery, likely exceeding 5,500mAh. This, coupled with the power-efficient Snapdragon processor, should translate to a full day’s worth of usage on a single charge. Additionally, the phone supports 100W fast charging technology, allowing you to quickly top up the battery when needed.

Pricing & Availability

The official pricing for the OnePlus Nord 4 has yet to be confirmed globally. However, based on regional leaks, the starting price for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is expected to be around RMB 2,600 (approximately RM1,854). The phone will be available in several colour options including Obsidian Midnight, Mercurial Silver, and Oasis Green.

The exact availability date for the OnePlus Nord 4 in Malaysia remains unclear. However, based on past release cycles, it’s safe to assume a launch within the next few weeks. With its impressive combination of premium design, powerful performance, long-lasting battery, and extended software support, the OnePlus Nord 4 appears to be a compelling option for users seeking a feature-packed mid-range smartphone.

OnePlus Announces the OnePlus 10T 5G Without the Notification Slider But With 15 Antennae

OnePlus seems to be returning to its “Never Settle” roots with the announcement of its latest flagship – the OnePlus 10T 5G. The new smartphone is poised to be one of the most affordable flagships this year and focuses on top-notch performance – even in extreme temperatures.

Never Settle with Flagship Specifications

The OnePlus 10T comes equipped with the latest from Qualcomm – the Snapdragon 8+Gen 1. Complementing this is the highest amount of RAM to be on a OnePlus smartphone – 16GB. The 10T also features RAM expansion which allows you to get a further 7GB of RAM for buttery smooth performance. This comes in addition to the new software enhancements that come in OxygenOS 12.1. OnePlus is touting that these enhancements and the RAM allow the smartphone to perform even with 35 apps suspended in the background.

That said, the OnePlus 10T isn’t just about processing. It comes with a 6.7-inch, Fluid AMOLED display capable of 120Hz refresh rates, a 720Hz response rate and HDR10+. It also has adaptive refresh rate technology which allows the display to adapt the refresh rate to suit your content. Higher refresh rates will be used when doing things like gaming while battery performance will be prioritised when doing things like reading with lower refresh rates.

The one big omission in the OnePlus 10T is the notification slider which was the company’s signature. However, OnePlus is making up for that with better connectivity. The 10T comes with 15 antennae and AI enhancements that allow it to have better connectivity and network performance.

1-100% in 19 Minutes with SuperVOOC Endurance Edition

Speaking of battery life, the OnePlus 10T comes with a 4,800mAh battery which charges via the USB-C 2.0 port on the phone. It supports SuperVOOC Charging of up to 150W. With SuperVOOV Endurance Edition, the 10T can get a day’s battery life with 10 minutes of charging. A full charge from 1-100% will only take 19 minutes.

With the growing concern of fast charging affecting battery health, OnePlus is bringing what they call the Battery Health Engine to the 10T. This system will work to ensure the best battery performance with minimal loss in battery capacity. The OnePlus 10T is also equipped with two charging pumps instead of the conventional single pump. This allows the phone to charge at faster speeds more efficiently with reduced heat and greater safety.

Unibody Design with 3 Cameras

The OnePlus 10T comes with a unibody design. The phone has been designed to be ergonomic and feels good in the hand. The rounded edges on the back make it easy to hold and manoeuvre the flat display with one hand. OnePlus has also given the smartphone a signature Jade Green colourway which is accented with a punch of deep metallic green.

Within the deep green portion lies the smartphone’s triple camera setup. Yep – triple camera. The new triple camera setup consists of a wide, ultrawide and macro sensor. The main sensor of the 10T is the 50–megapixel Sony IMX766 which comes equipped with optical image stabilization and improved HDR performance. This main sensor is complemented by an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. On the front is a 16-megapixel sensor for selfies.

Pricing & Availability

The OnePlus 10T will be available in Jade Green and Moonstone Black globally. For now, it looks like only the Jade Green version of the smartphone will be making its way to Malaysia.

It will be available in three variants: 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage, 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage and 16GB RAM with 256GB of storage. The 12GB version seems to be exclusive to India.
