Cons: No bundled charger (in Europe).
The OnePlus Nord 4 comes in a fairly standard retail box with the usual user manuals and a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer.
is that really a "con"?
how many usb cables do we need? When you get one with each tool you get, you end up with dozens of cables you never use
-
I agree with you but this phone comes with a proprietary super fast 100W charging tech that only works with their charger and cable.
-
how many usb cables do we need?
It's always nice to have a proper cable rated for the speed and charging capability IMO, apart from that cables break, and they cost next to nothing to include.
Chargers are also sometimes problematic, if they aren't original, they often revert to a much lower charging rate.
Something that apparently can only be solved, if the laws mandate it. For which we depend on EU. -
at this charging rate not every cable will suffice though
-
I think you meant charger? In any case. This phone supports 100w of fast charging. Unless, you specifically have supervooc chargers with 100w or higher speeds of charging. Any other charger will not support super fast charging.

the time is now! demand user serviceable nvme slot that fits all the way to 2280!

NFC
:)
no wireless charging
:(
All I want is a phone with an efficient CPU, NFC, and wireless charging. And I guess probably root. If only the new pixel wasn’t so ugly it might be OK.
-
Nice looking phone, within my budget.
No word on the pwm rate though. I know the 12 and 12R had high frequency pwm dimming; hopefully NotebookCheck does a review of this phone.

at least it's snapdragon, not mediatek, it's important efficiency wise, but yeah, cameras are still meh, also charger isn't in the box, I wonder how many users will buy fake 100W chargers from aliexpress and burn their houses
anyway, don't believe their fake AI bullshit, it's only a buzzword for some algorithms etc
-
Mediatek makes good processors. It's not like the old days. The flagship dimensity 9300+ for example is more efficient compared to snapdragon 8 gen 3. Plus, you can't always be sure with snapdragon releasing heaters like 8 gen 1, 888, or the infamous 810.
But, yeah 7+gen3 is superior to most everything except flagship hardware.

Mediatek phones never get custom ROMs since Mediatek refuses to publish the necessary packages although the Android license demands it

The Nord 3 did very well with the Dimensity 9000, and it had better camera.
A Dimensity 9200+ would have been better, that's competitive to Snapdragon 8 gen 2.
So unless the Nord 4 is cheaper than Nord 3, I'm not impressed with how they balanced it.

At least they got rid of the stupid glass back, although I would have preferred plastic back, and the money spend on the alu-body, was spend on better camera instead.
But congratulations on getting rid of the almost all dominating glass black.
Not sure if you read the article. But, its not full metal. It's a 2-tone design with the top part of the camera island being a glass design.
I watched the video. And I'm surprised they didn't mention whether the screen is still with Dragon Trail glass.
All in all, I must say I'm not impressed with the decisions for Nord 4, compared to Nord 3.
