OnePlus unveiled the much awaited OnePlus Nord 4 during the Summer Launch Event in Milan, Italy. Being a new model, the OnePlus Nord 4 is claimed as the ‘only metal unibody device in the 5G era.’ What is more, it can boast of longer software update guarantee – four OS updates annually with up to six years of biyearly security patches – for the first time in OnePlus brand.

Impressive Hardware and Design

The OnePlus Nord 4 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip. This phone comes with a 50MP main camera using a Sony LYT-600 sensor and a 16MP front camera built to take top-notch photos and videos.
