The phone runs on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 with either 8 GB, 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM. Storage is either 128 GB UFS 3.1 or 256 GB/512 GB UFS 4.0.

The back features a 50 MP main shooter with OIS and EIS and an 8 MP ultrawide snapper. The main camera can record videos at up to 4K resolution and 60 fps.
The Nord 4 features a 5,500 mAh abttery with 100W wired charging support that helps it reach 100% in under 30 minutes. However you'll need to purchase the proprietary adapter separately because there's not going to be one in the box.
The battery will retain at least 80% of its capacity after 1,600 full cycles, which should put anybody worried about quick charging causing excessive degradation at ease.

OnePlus aimed for a metal unibody design from the start, which required innovative solutions. They repositioned the antennas into a U-shape and added small pillars inside the phone's rear cover, effectively halving the antenna size and enhancing signal amplification.

OnePlus also hyped the Nord 4 as the first international phone with an AI-infused midrange chipset. The features that enables are AI Audio Summary, AI Note Summar, and AI Linkboost that reconnects to mobile networks "faster than ever."
Nord 4 also offers an AI Groupfie feature that artificially changes people's eyes in group shots so nobody is blinking.

Yeah, it worsens heat conductivity, I wasn't disputing that. This shouldn't be a problem unless the phone's thermal design is terrible. There are also bumper cases (cases where it's only the frame) if you want to consider thermal ...
