OnePlus has taken a bold step with the aesthetics of the Nord CE4. Moving away from plain gradients, the phone introduces the Celadon Marble finish, which features a premium, stone-like texture that catches the light beautifully.1 For those who prefer a more classic look, the Dark Chrome variant offers a sleek, mirror-like gloss.
- Durability: The phone features an IP54 rating, making it resistant to dust and water splashes.2
- Weight & Feel: Despite housing a massive battery, the phone remains relatively slim at 8.4mm and lightweight at 186g, ensuring it is comfortable for one-handed use.3
Display: A Visual Treat with Aqua Touch
The front of the device is dominated by a 6.7-inch Fluid AMOLED panel.4 With a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, the visual experience is incredibly smooth, whether you are scrolling through Instagram or streaming 4K content.
One of the standout technological additions is Aqua Touch.5 This technology allows the screen to distinguish between water droplets and your actual finger movements.6 So, if you’re caught in a drizzle or have wet hands, the screen remains fully responsive without “ghost touches.”
Performance: The Power of Snapdragon 7 Gen 3
At the heart of the OnePlus Nord CE4 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 mobile platform.7 Built on a 4nm process, this chipset is a significant leap over its predecessor.
