IN PICS | OnePlus Nord CE 4 First Impressions: This Mid-Segmenter Brings A Premium Kick

OnePlus has brought its latest mid-segment offering, the Nord CE 4, at a starting price of Rs 24,999. Here's our first thoughts:

OnePlus Nord CE 4 comes with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary snapper.

It started out as a flagship killer, but recent times have seen OnePlus become a more formidable presence in the mid-segment of the smartphone market. And leading its charge in this highly competitive zone has been the OnePlus Nord series, which has run up some big numbers. OnePlus has just released the OnePlus Nord CE4 5G, which is the latest in the Nord CE (CE stands for ‘core experience’) sub-series. It looks to carry forward the OnePlus Nord CE tradition of delivering a solid performance for not a lot of bucks…oh, and selling a lot of units in the process. Here are our quick thoughts on the latest Never Settler. [Image credit: ABP Live/Nimish Dubey]

A premium feel, and a very interesting green shade - The OnePlus Nord CE4 is a tall and slim phone at 162.5 mm, 8.4mm, respectively and weighs 186 grams, which is light for its size. It has a premium-ish feel to it, with a flat front, a slightly curved glass back, and straight sides that are a rage these days. As in so many phones these days, design innovation has been focused (pun intended) on the camera unit - the OnePlus Nord CE4 comes with cameras placed inside what looks like a vertical capsule that juts out. There seem to be three cameras on the back, but the third disc is just a flash with a black dot in the middle. The phone comes in two shades - the grey Dark Chrome is smart but predictable, while the Celadon Marble is a blend of different shades of light screen with a touch of glitter (which shows in the sun), giving the phone a very marble-like look. There is no talk of Gorilla Glass protection but the phone has IP54 splash resistance.
