OnePlus promises 4 Android updates for Nord 4

OnePlus on Thursday announced a commitment to long-term software support for its upcoming OnePlus Nord 4 smartphone. The company plans to provide Android updates for four years after the device’s launch. The handset maker will offer security patches for six years, it added. The OnePlus Nord 4 is set to debut in India on July 16, with the event expected to be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube channel. Ahead of the event, details about pricing in India, including bank card offers, have surfaced online.

Meanwhile, according to a leak, the upcoming OnePlus Nord model is expected to be cheaper than last year’s OnePlus Nord 3.

OnePlus is emphasizing that this expanded software support will ensure the longevity and security of the Nord 4, the latest addition to its mid-range smartphone lineup. The company boasts that the device has achieved the TÜV SÜD Fluency 72 Month A certification, meaning the phone will be able to keep going for an extended period of time.

The Nord 4 will also feature OnePlus’ patented Battery Health Engine, which is said to preserve charging efficiency over time. The technology has been certified to withstand 1,600 full charge cycles, increasing the device’s long-term usability.

Similar to previous releases, the Nord 4 will be available for purchase on e-commerce platform Amazon India. Additional products expected to debut at the event, including the OnePlus Pad 2 tablet, OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro, and OnePlus Watch 2R, are likely to be offered by various online retailers.

OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, Watch 2R to Launch Alongside Nord 4

OnePlus has shared a new teaser with the word “Nord” in silver, another hint at the launch of the Nord 4. The company has promised to reveal more information in the coming days. The event is expected to officially unveil the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro and OnePlus Watch 2R alongside the Nord 4.

Notably, last year’s summer launch event focused on Nord-branded products, including smartphones and truly wireless stereo (TWS) headphones.

OnePlus has announced that its Summer Launch Event will take place in Milan, Italy on July 16. The company’s metal teaser card reads, “Some say it’s impossible to create a smartphone with the strength, refinement, and durability of metal in the 5G era. We say… Never settle.”

Some leaks and rumors suggest that the OnePlus Nord 4 could be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 3V. The China-exclusive model sports a 6.74-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1100 nits HBM brightness, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. The OnePlus Ace 3V is IP65-rated for dust and splash protection.

The OnePlus Ace 3V is equipped with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. This OnePlus device runs on Android 14.
