The Nord CE 4 Lite was OnePlus' latest addition to the renowned Nord series, but a newer and more advanced Nord 4 model is currently in development. This forthcoming phone is expected to be a mid-range device offering robust specifications at a competitive price point.
OnePlus Nord 4: When is the Launch?
Prominent tipster Yogesh Brar has hinted that OnePlus plans to launch the Nord 4 in the third week of July 2024. This timeline aligns with the previous release of the OnePlus Nord 3 in early July. An announcement in India is likely on the horizon, with the first sale anticipated shortly thereafter. According to the tipster, the Nord 4 will be available during the Amazon Prime Day sale on July 20.
Specifications Overview
The OnePlus Nord 4 is rumored to be a rebranded version of the Ace 3V, which debuted in China. If accurate, the Nord 4 will feature a glass front and back, giving it a premium aesthetic. It will also offer an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. The Ace 3V boasted a large 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, which may be carried over to the Nord 4.
Under the hood, the Nord 4 is expected to shift from MediaTek to Qualcomm, featuring the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. On the rear, a dual-camera setup is anticipated, including a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. A substantial 5,500mAh battery is likely to power the device, potentially supporting 100W wired fast charging similar to the Ace 3V. OnePlus claimed the Ace 3V could be fully charged in just 30 minutes. However, the new model may also lack a microSD card slot for storage expansion and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which could be a drawback for audiophiles.
Pricing Expectations
The OnePlus Nord 3 was launched with a starting price of 33,999 INR (approximately 407 US Dollars) for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It's uncertain if there will be a price increase for the Nord 4, but the base version is expected to be priced around or below 35,000 INR. Similar to the Nord 3, a higher storage variant is also expected. OnePlus hasn't made any official announcements regarding the Nord 4 yet, but more information is likely to emerge in the coming days.
