Performance: The Snapdragon Advantage
The biggest focus for the Nord CE4 is performance consistency and efficiency, achieved through a powerful new processor and faster storage technology.
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (4nm). This processor is a significant step up, delivering excellent performance, especially in GPU tasks (up to 50% faster GPU performance than the previous generation) while being power efficient due to the 4nm manufacturing process.
- Storage: The device uses UFS 3.1 storage across both variants, which offers significantly faster read/write speeds compared to the UFS 2.2 found in many competing mid-range phones.
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR4x RAM is standard across both models.
- Storage Expansion: A welcome inclusion is the Hybrid Slot which allows users to expand the storage up to 1TB via a microSD card, addressing a pain point for many users.
- Software: Runs on OxygenOS 14.0 based on Android 14, maintaining OnePlus’s reputation for a fast, fluid, and near-stock Android experience.
Power System: 100W Charging is the Game-Changer
OnePlus has prioritized massive battery life and lighting-fast charging speed, making the CE4 a leader in endurance and quick top-ups.
- Battery Capacity: A large 5,500mAh battery, ensuring comfortable one-to-two-day usage for most users.
