OnePlus Nord 4 5G (Mercurial Silver, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage)

Been using this phone for 2 days now. The first thing that stood out is how light it feels in the hand, the build quality is sleek and solid, almost mimicking an iPhone-level finish. It has a premium touch without the premium price.Performance-wise, it’s smooth and responsive. Apps open quickly, multitasking is a breeze, and there’s been no lag so far. The 8GB RAM with 256GB storage is more than enough for my daily use — whether it's gaming, streaming, or work. The indisplay Fingerprint sensor is so fast and soo cool.The screen size is perfect. Not too big, not too small, just right for comfortable viewing, typing, and media consumption. Colors are good, and brightness is on point, even outdoors.Obsidian Black looks stunning, clean, classy, and minimal. Overall, for the price point, the OnePlus Nord 4 is delivering way more than expected.

Writing this Review After 20 days use and I can say this phone doesn't disappoint.Pros :-1. Metal build phone which feels premium and a notch above the rest of its competitors. Design is just pleasant to look at.2. Software after Android 15 and Oxygen os 15 update has become even more smooth and snappy which makes everyday use more refined and premium.3. With snapdragon 7+ gen 3 this phone is fast and feels like a flagship. Played games like BGMI and COD at 90 fps without any frames drop.4. Battery backup is amazing and it easily gives me 8 hrs plus SOT on day to day balanced use and 7+ hrs on a heavy use. I charge ones a day and next day I am still left with few more minutes before charging. Plus 100W superfast charger is cherry on top5. Haptics are just exceptioal and performs better than many flagship phones.6. The long software and security support also gives this phone a better chance to retain its resale value for longer period than its competitors.7. Clean software experience though it came with few bloatwares with its own app market but after deleting those apps and disabling the app market the experience has been overall great.8. This comes with flat screen which is great considering many good phone under this price segment have curve screens.Cons:-1. Camera is good but could have been better. Not a camera guy so it works for me but may not for the ones who want best camera for their buck.2. The front glass is not from the Corning thus should be handled with care and a screen tempered glass is must for this one.So in the end this is currently amongst the best balanced phone one could buy for this price and can experience a great phone at such low price.

I've been using the OnePlus Nord 4 for about 2 weeks and I can say this phone is a great but for this pricePros: Almost everything,1. The display is gorgeous but it is not dynamic, meaning it stays at 120Hz all the time even when set to auto2. The battery life is also really damn good, coming from an iPhone X, this is great and 100W in the box charger charges it while a small break,3. Build quality is top notch, I like the metal back but the looks is bad, I suggested a family member this phone but it looks so bad, it was dismissed but for me it is alright (side note: you get a transparent TPU case and not a high quality one which funnily enough you get in the CE 4)Performance is great too, 7+ gen 3 is one of the better choiceCons:Camera: while main camera is ok, selfie and ultrawide are preety midVideo: only the main camera can do 4K 60FPS, other cameras are capped at 1080p 30FPS. So while you can record in 4K, you cannot change perspectives.

I have been using this phone for the past one month, and after thoroughly testing it, here’s my detailed review.Performance (4.5/5)When it comes to gaming, this phone performs exceptionally well. I played BGMI at 90 FPS, and it handled the game effortlessly. There were occasional frame drops, but I believe this is an issue with the game itself, as even iPhone users experience the same. Overall, the phone can handle any apps or games without issues, making it great for performance.Camera (4/5)Recently, I visited Qutb Shahi Tombs, and we took a lot of pictures. Interestingly, even though my friends had good phones, they preferred using mine for photography. I shared the pictures I took with this phone, and they were quite impressive. I don’t use the selfie camera much, so I don’t have many complaints about it. The 50MP rear camera is excellent and performs well in various lighting conditions. The 16MP selfie camera is decent, but if you’re a selfie enthusiast, it might not meet your expectations. However, for rear camera users, this phone delivers great results. The AI features are also a nice addition for enhancing photos.Battery (5/5)The phone comes with 100W SuperVOOC charging, which fully charges the battery in just 30 minutes. Once charged, it easily lasts a full day, even with heavy usage. If you're a power user, you may need to charge it overnight, but the fast charging makes it very convenient.Display (5/5)The display is simply wonderful, especially when watching HDR content. It provides a vivid and immersive viewing experience.Extra FeaturesThis phone also includes useful features like NFC, AI, smart gestures, and Aqua Touch, all of which enhance the overall user experience.Green Line and Motherboard IssuesAs of now, I haven’t encountered any green line or motherboard issues with this model. Even if you do face these problems, OnePlus customer care offers lifetime free display replacements for green line issues, which is very reassuring.ConclusionIf you're looking for an all-rounder phone, this is a great option, especially at this price point. It’s available for under ₹30,000, and I purchased it for ₹28,000 during a sale, which makes me very happy with my purchase.
