Third-party reviews

What we like about OnePlus Nord CE4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional battery life (5500 mAh) often lasting up to two days with normal use
  • Ultra-fast 100W SuperVOOC charging capable of a full charge in roughly 30 minutes
  • Smooth 120Hz AMOLED display with punchy colors and good viewing angles
  • Strong mid-range performance from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset for daily tasks and casual gaming
  • Lightweight and comfortable ergonomic design with a premium-looking 'Celadon Marble' finish
  • Practical additions like an IR blaster, microSD card expansion (up to 1TB), and IP54 splash resistance
  • Clean and fluid software experience via OxygenOS 14

What we don't like about OnePlus Nord CE4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Limited software support with only two years of guaranteed Android version updates
  • Lack of NFC and the iconic OnePlus alert slider
  • Unimpressive secondary cameras, particularly the low-resolution 8MP ultra-wide and lack of a dedicated macro lens
  • Video recording issues including stuttering in 4K and lack of stabilization at higher resolutions
  • Occasional thermal management issues or heating during intensive gaming sessions or hotspot usage
  • Mixed low-light camera performance with noticeable noise and loss of detail
  • Presence of some pre-installed bloatware apps

Verdict

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 (8GB + 256GB) is a mid-range 5G smartphone powered by the efficient Snapdragon® 7 Gen 3 Mobile Platform and runs on OxygenOS 14 (Android 14). It features a vibrant 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and a large 5,500mAh battery with rapid 100W SUPERVOOC fast charging. Photography is handled by a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Main pros include outstanding battery life, extremely fast charging, smooth performance, an IR blaster, and expandable storage up to 1TB. Cons can include the average low-light camera performance and video quality, a plastic build, the absence of an alert slider, and a commitment to only two major Android OS updates.
