Is the OnePlus Nord 4 on the verge of release? The impending mid-range 5G phone has not yet been officially revealed by the company, but according to a recent leak, it will happen in less than two months. The OnePlus Nord 4 will launch in the third week of July, according to those familiar with the event arrangements who spoke with Smartprix. According to the rumor, OnePlus also intends to hold a live event to coincide with the impending debut of the Nord phone.
This might be the case because prior leaks indicated that the OnePlus Nord 4 would be released sometime after June in the second half of 2024. This is the first leak that provides us with an estimated release date for the next Nord phone. It will be the follow-up to the OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone, which debuted in July of last year. This provides us more reason for hope that the Nord 4 launch in July is real.
In India, the OnePlus Nord 3 was released at a starting price of Rs 33,999. Although the pricing of the OnePlus Nord 4 has not been leaked, we do know that it undoubtedly won’t go over Rs 35,000 given that OnePlus is now charging Rs 39,999 for its mid-range premium OnePlus 12R. The brand probably won’t close the gap between the two phones too much. It is expected that the OnePlus Nord 4 will retail at between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000 at launch.
This year in April, it launched the OnePlus Nord CE 4, a smartphone that retails for less than Rs 30,000. The cost of the base model is fixed at Rs 24,999 (128GB). The price of the 256GB storage model is Rs 26,999. Therefore, it is not possible to find the Nord 4 in the sub-Rs 30,000 range.
It’s interesting to note that the initial OnePlus Nord, which debuted in 2020, cost Rs 24,999. The pricing of the third-generation OnePlus Nord model has risen to Rs 33,999, while the price of the second-generation (original) model is now approximately Rs 29,999. In order to continue providing customers with options at various price points, the business purposefully produced more affordable variants under the CE and CE Lite names as the original Nord series’ price ascended. The Nord CE variants cost less than Rs 30,000, while the Nord CE Lite model is priced at Rs 25,000.
Users who are prepared to pay a few thousand rupees more for a better experience and features (under Rs 35,000) are the target market for the original OnePlus Nord. The OnePlus R series is available for less Rs 40,000. Given that there are now a few excellent smartphones in the market, it will be fascinating to see if the new OnePlus Nord 4 smartphone can justify its price and convince consumers to acquire it. iQOO Neo 9 Pro, Poco F6, and other devices are among them.
