OnePlus Nord 4 | Unboxing & One Week Review

Unboxing the OnePlus Nord 4 with a review after one week of testing as my full-time phone. This is one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024, and here's my verdict on the OnePlus Nord 4 5G's camera tech, gaming smarts, battery life etc.

Check out our competition for your chance to win one of ten Nord phones!

This all-metal monster shares some DNA with the fresh Oppo Reno 12 Pro and is a hot rival to the Samsung Galaxy A55 and other mid-range blowers. Like Oppo's phone, the OnePlus Nord 4 offers a dependable camera with Sony's LYT-600 sensor. You've also got the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 powering this smartphone, so Genshin Impact runs well even when you boost the graphics.

Battery life is excellent, giving a full, long day of use without hitting power saver mode. The OnePlus Nord 4 should also please movie fans with its poppy 1.5K screen, and respectable stereo speaker setup.

So are you tempted by the OnePlus Nord 4? Check out my reviews of the best alternatives right now including the Samsung A55, Pixel 8a and OnePlus 12R.

Oh my God! An actual phone with a metal unibody build! It brings tears to my eyes!😢

I wish OnePlus would make a small phone. I love them, my last two phones have been OnePlus's, but they're just getting too big for my tiny mits. I reckon a 6" mid-range Oneplus would go gangbusters.

the lg g5 was such a good phone. The replacable battery made mine go for 5+ years and I bought it 2 years already used but good condition. Even passed it down to siblings when I got a new one. It had a such good music chip.

[ThienNguyen-csie]

Bought OnePlus Nord after watching your review back in 2020.

[pokemongolegend]

The wallpaper you use in every thumbnail was so cool .

[awaisahmed]

The back design language reminds me of the first Google Pixel phone. With the 2 tone design.

[siddharthshailendra]

This phone looks like OnePlus X. I had one back in the day it was one the best phone I have ever had

[SIZERRULE]
