Pros and Cons

Pros of the OnePlus Nord CE 4

  • Ultra-Fast 100W Charging: It features extremely fast 100W SUPERVOOC wired charging, which can take the large battery from 1% to 100% in under 30 minutes, a speed rarely seen in this price segment.

  • Excellent Battery Life: Equipped with a large 5,500 mAh battery, which, combined with the efficient Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, delivers superb endurance, often lasting over a full day of heavy use.

  • Smooth AMOLED Display: The 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen is vibrant, smooth (120Hz refresh rate), and includes features like an in-display fingerprint sensor and HDR10+ support.

  • Strong Mid-Range Performance: The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset provides robust and power-efficient performance, making it great for daily tasks and solid mid-range gaming.

  • Expandable Storage: It includes a MicroSD card slot (hybrid with the second SIM slot) for up to 1TB of expandable storage, offering flexibility that many rivals and even some OnePlus flagships lack.

Cons of the OnePlus Nord CE 4

  • Subpar Ultra-Wide Camera: The 8MP ultra-wide sensor is noticeably lower quality than the main lens, lacking detail and dynamic range compared to competitors' auxiliary cameras.

  • No Alert Slider: It lacks the physical Alert Slider (for quickly switching between sound modes), which is a signature and highly-appreciated feature on most other OnePlus phones.

  • Limited Software Update Guarantee: OnePlus typically promises two years of major Android OS updates, which is less than the four or seven-year support periods offered by some competitors.

  • Slower USB Port: It uses the older and slower USB Type-C 2.0 port for data transfer, a common compromise in the mid-range that reduces convenience when transferring large files.

  • Lower Water Resistance Rating: The phone only has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, providing protection against splashes but not against full water immersion (like IP67/IP68).
