While both smartphones from the OnePlus Nord stable are similar in terms of specifications, the OnePlus Nord 4 offers an upgraded processor, increased brightness, and a metal body for about ₹5,000 more.
Those who want cutting edge performance tech and a durable, premium-looking phone might be likely to opt for the OnePlus Nord 4, while more budget-conscious buyers who are not looking for the latest processor and don’t mind a plastic body could explore the OnePlus Nord CE 4 as an option.
The OnePlus Nord 4 also comes with a plethora of AI features; some are meant to facilitate the smooth operation of the phone and its parts, while others are productivity-based tools for the user.
The OnePlus Nord 4 will go on sale for everyone from August 2, and will be available in the 8+128GB, 8+256GB and 12+256GB variants.
Meanwhile, the pre-order date is the same as Amazon Prime Day, on July 20.
