OnePlus Summer Launch Event 2024

So the day has arrived and I am in the glorious city of Milan for the OnePlus Summer launch event where we have just witnessed the launch of a veritable bevy of new devices.

One Plus Nord 4

First up I want to talk about the OnePlus Nord 4, this is a device that I was very lucky to have the opportunity to have hands-on with for a few days before the event as I got an early preview unit. However, that being said the unit I received was a special edition that was only unveiled at the launch event today. You can get the Nord 4 in one of 3 different “Nordtones” (or colours) the two tones that had been announced before the event were Mercurial Silver and Midnight Black. We had to wait until today to announce the third tone. It is called Oasis Green and it is the one I have been given. This was inspired by the extremely active OnePlus Community who had shown a great interest in the colour of a previous device the OnePlus Nord LE. I have done a separate boxing article on the Nord 4 here if you want to check it out in more detail.

If you preorder one today from the OnePlus store then not only can claim one of three free gifts but you will also be entered into a prize draw to win a Tumi Suitcases, worth 1150 EUR / GBP each the choices for the free gifts are one of the following:-

-A TUMI Voyageur Persia Crossbody Bag (worth 210 EUR / GBP)
-OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro (worth 79 EUR / GBP)
A OnePlus Nord 4 case (worth up to 39.99 EUR /GBP)

OnePlus unveils OnePlus Nord 4, the only metal unibody 5G

phone

New member of OnePlus Nord family launches in Milan with heart-stoppingly

beautiful design, latest flagship technology and a range of AI tools

London UK – 16 July: OnePlus, a leading technology brand, has launched the

OnePlus Nord 4 at its Summer Launch Event in Milan. It is the only metal unibody

device in the 5G era and harks back to a bygone era of smartphone design which

many felt was behind us. As well as its three arresting colourway, OnePlus Nord 4

also continues to make flagship technologies more affordable with a leading chipset,

up to 512GB RAM and AI tools that can help improve every part of its users’ lives.

“By combining a classic, refined and premium metal design with the latest flagship

technology, OnePlus Nord 4 truly shows our dedication to bringing our users the

best,” said Kinder Liu, OnePlus President and COO. “OnePlus Nord devices are

beloved around the world and I’m so proud of all the work our team has done on

OnePlus Nord 4 I’m really excited to see what our passionate community of OnePlus

fans make of the phone very soon.”

An metal marvelOnePlus Nord 4 is a masterpiece of metal design, measuring a mere 7.99mm thick

and built from a single piece of aluminium milled to exact standards. While many

phones used to be made from metal, including the OnePlus 3T, the advent of 5G

meant smartphones required more antennas than ever, and that meant construction

which used less metal and more glass.

But OnePlus, driven by insight from its users, remembered the benefits metal

brought to consumer technology. From shockingly thin laptops to strikingly unique

automobiles, from high end fashion accessories to attention-grabbing speakers,

metal products evoke a sense of beauty, of permanence and of strength. That’s why

OnePlus used its Never Settle spirit to create OnePlus Nord 4, making several

technological breakthroughs along the way. Breakthroughs like compact 5G

antennas over 50% smaller than before, and like a redesigned motherboard that

helps phones send and receive signals clearly. Breakthroughs that combined with

OnePlus’s technical knowhow to bring back a forgotten way of building a

smartphone, reimagined for the next generation.

OnePlus Nord 4 is available in three separate colours, known as Nordtones, each

designed to help its users stand out from the crowd, a key desire of OnePlus users.

The first Nordtone, Obsidian Midnight, is a classic brushed gunmetal design. It’s dark

and understated but projects strength and permanence. The second Nordtone is

known as Mercurial Silver and features a 2D laser etched design, was created usingmore than 28,000 precise laser strokes. Finally, the third Nordtone is Oasis Green,

revealed exclusively at OnePlus’s Summer Launch Event, and is a unique two-tone

colour scheme which looks vibrant and colourful, guaranteed to catch the eye.

Flagship technology without the flagship price

Inside, OnePlus Nord 4 continues the proud OnePlus Nord tradition of taking flagship

technology and making it affordable. At its heart is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Plus

Gen 3 chip, this year’s newest processor, which is a quantum leap ahead of standard

Snapdragon 7 chips – it features a 65% faster CPU and 130% faster GPU, as well as

Qualcomm AI Engine. When measured using benchmarking tool AnTuTu, the

Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 chip scores a massive 1,500,000 compared to the

990,000 of a standard Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, meaning flagship level

gaming and productivity performance. And with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and

512GB of storage, users will get flagship storage and no stuttering slowdowns either.

OnePlus Nord 4 also features the largest battery ever fitted to a OnePlus Nord

phone, weighing in at 5,500mAh and featuring 100W SUPERVOOC charging. This

means it can charge from 1-100% in just 28 minutes and give you 5 hours of Netflix

viewing with just a 5 minute top up. Not only that, the battery is also protected by

OnePlus’s self-developed Battery Health Engine, which uses AI to keep its battery at

peak fitness. Battery Health Engine uses AI technology to analyse everything fromthe amount of power going into the phone to the time it reaches 100% charge. And

thanks to Battery Health Engine, OnePlus Nord 4’s battery has been tested to

survive more than 1,600 charging cycles, over four years of use, with over 80% of its

original capacity. That’s more than three times what you’ll find elsewhere.

AI for everyday use

OnePlus has also baked AI technology into every aspect of OnePlus Nord 4. This

includes its Trinity Engine software, which helps ensure you get the best day to day

performance from your product. It studies your phone’s CPU, RAM and ROM and

make sure they’re operating to the best of their ability. It’s like having an AI librarian

in your phone’s memory, keeping everything stored neatly, and an AI personal trainer

in its processor to help achieve high performance without high levels of stress.

Meanwhile OnePlus Nord 4 also features AI tools for productivity, such as AI Speak

and AI Summary, which help share information from a wide range of websites and

apps, as well as AI Writer which will compose a long message based on short

prompts so you can get right back to that important task. It also features AI

Recording Summary, which will take an hour-long meeting recording and turn it into a

short written summary in a matter of seconds, as well as producing a transcript.

Photo-ready AI and 50-megapixel Sony sensorFinally, OnePlus Nord 4 can also use AI to improve images too. As well as previously

announced AI tools such as AI Eraser, which removes unwanted people and items

from images, OnePlus Nord4 also features new tools such as AI Best Face, AI Clear

Face and AI Smart Cutout 2.0.

AI Smart Cutout 2.0 is perfect for combining photos and adding fun elements to your

shots. Users simply select an item they want to copy – for instance a pet, or a loved

one – from the first picture, save it as a sticker and then drop it straight into their

second picture. Meanwhile the new AI Best Face and AI Clear Face tools, coming

later in the year, are designed to help improve photos when everything didn’t quite go

to plan. Whether that’s AI Best Face fixing a group selfie so that one friend with their

eyes closed can magically open them again, or whether it’s AI Clear Face helping

bring high definition to your pics, OnePlus Nord 4 and OnePlus Pad 2 will be ready to

salvage that nearly perfect shot.

As well as AI smarts, OnePlus Nord 4 also packs all the hardware users need for

superb, social ready snapshots. Its main camera is powered by a 50 megapixel Sony

LYT-600 sensor and features Optical Image Stabilisation, ideal for fixing shaky shots.

It also features the same RAW photography algorithms seen in the flagship OnePlus

12 Series, allowing expert photographers to adjust and tweak their shot to perfection.OnePlus Nord 4 also features a 112-degree 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 16

megapixel Sony selfie camera.

Fit for the future

At its Summer Launch Event, OnePlus also announced that OnePlus Nord 4 will

receive four major Android updates and six years of security updates, the longest

ever support package OnePlus has ever put in place. This will ensure OnePlus Nord

4 remains safe to use for many years to come, but OnePlus also stated that this

alone was not enough. At its Summer Launch Event, OnePlus stated that phones

with long software commitments but without extensive fast and smooth testing were

like strong houses built on weak foundations: they look good, but you wouldn’t want

to live in one.

To back up its commitment to providing fast and smooth experiences for its users,

OnePlus also announced that OnePlus Nord 4 features the longest ever fluency

rating awarded to a phone – 72 months of fluency, as certified by TUV SUD.

To achieve this unheard-of rating, OnePlus Nord 4 was subjected to a gruelling

range of tests over a tortuous period. These tests involved precisely measuring,

using a high-speed camera, how long a new phone takes to open apps and complete

a range of basic tasks. The phone was then put absolute hell by simulating six yearsof heavy use with a range of highly demanding tests. These tests involved copying

24GB of 4K video files onto it and deleting them at intervals to fragment the memory.

Then creating 8,500 photos, 850 music files and 85 videos. 4,500 pieces of contact

information, 15,000 text messages. 1,500 call records. Finally, OnePlus even

installed and deleted 180 applications to seriously stress the phone out. Only at this

point did OnePlus measure the time it takes to perform the same tasks as at the

start, and only when it achieved these tasks in an acceptable time did it pass

certification.

Only at this point was OnePlus Nord 4 deemed to have passed its fluency test and

officially receive its groundbreaking fluency rating.

Price and availability

In Europe, OnePlus Nord 4 will be available in available in two variants 16GB /

512GB and 12GB / 256GB and ranged in three colours: Obsidian Midnight, Mercurial

Silver and Oasis Green.

OnePlus Watch 2R

Next up is the OnePlus Watch 2 R, this is a tweak to the design of the OnePlus Watch 2 that came out earlier this year and was very well received by reviewers including myself. The new Onepluds watch 2 is a refinement of that original design They have moved away from the asymmetrical design to that of a more standard style watch but they have kept the internals predominantly the same as what made the Watch 2 such a success. We still have the dual architecture OS allowing the Watch 2R to last for up to 10 hours in normal use. It is still running the same Wear OS 4 /RTOS platforms and 2 GB or RAm with 32 GB pf memory. The Watch 2 R also features dual-frequency GPS for enhanced location tracking, which is something I was missing on previous Wear OS smartwatches like the Pixel Watch 2. There have been some significant changes to the O Health App that should make it a bit more user-friendly for your health metrics from the watch.

The OnePlus Watch 2R is available in two colourways: Forest Green and Gunmetal Gray the Forrest Green one is particularly striking due to the two-tone bezel design and the side buttons are now a bit more distinct more like what you would expect to see from a normal chronometer.

The OnePlus Watch 2R will be available to preorder from today and can be bought for £249. As you expect those who get in early will be rewarded and below is a list of what can be had:-

£30 discount for orders placed today

London, UK – 16 July, 2024 – Global technology company OnePlus today unveiled the third generation

of its mid-range TWS earbuds, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro. Featuring flagship-level hybrid adaptive

ANC, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro excels in noise cancellation across an ultra-wide frequency range,

restoring the sound of silence in any situation. This is complemented by studio-grade audio with

Plus, with up to 44 hours of battery life and the latest Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, the OnePlus Nord

Buds 3 Pro provides an uninterrupted, worry-free user experience for life on the go.

Nord Buds 3 Pro is designed for young, tech-savvy users seeking an affordable flagship killer with

solid noise cancellation and rich bass to complement their active lifestyle.”

exceptionally clear and stable audio during voice or video calls.

Putting the finishing touches to the adaptive noise-cancelling capabilities is Transparency Mode. By

allowing outside sound in, it enables users to stay aware of their surroundings without pausing music

or cutting off a conversation, so every listening experience can continue uninterrupted.

Deep Bass and Rich Audio

Complementing the flagship-level noise cancellation on the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro is powerful yet

well-balanced sound delivered through a dedicated tetanized driver. Its 12.4mm extra-large

diaphragm is crafted from high-quality TPU with a titanium coating to enhance bass depth and

dynamics, delivering layered sound that harmonizes pulsating bass and pristine treble to please even

the most discerning audiophiles.

BassWave™ 2.0 – the long-awaited upgrade to the flagship OnePlus earbuds – makes its debut on

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro. Leveraging OnePlus’ in-house algorithms, BassWave™ 2.0 fine-tunes bass

frequencies to create a deep and broad low-end while maintaining clarity and fidelity. The result is

an enriched, bass-heavy profile that delivers truly dynamic and impactful audio.OnePlus’ Master EQ also makes its way to the Nord Buds 3 Pro. Featuring three distinctive modes –

Balanced, Serenade, and Bass – Master EQ makes it easy for anyone to craft the desired sound to

match their unique music tastes.

End-to-End Reliability

Built to be a powerhouse with exceptional staying power, the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro offers up to 12

hours of music playback on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation disabled, and 44 hours of

total listening time when paired with the charging case. Up to 20 hours of battery life is available

when used with the charging case in AAC mode with ANC on. Additionally, fast charging provides 11

hours of playback after just a 10-minute charge, so users can plug in and play without ever worrying

about battery life.

Further streamlining the overall user experience is fast and smooth connectivity. With the latest

Bluetooth 5.4, OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro ensures low-latency transmission of high-quality audio,

providing seamless and ultra-stable sound output. Dual Connection allows easy pairing across

systems and devices to boost productivity. For Android users, Google Fast Pair brings even more

convenience with intuitive switching and the elimination of tedious manual pairing.

No corners have been cut when it comes to build quality either. The buds’ IP55 water and dust

resistance rating makes them ready to take on any situation – from sweaty workouts to rainy

commutes – ensuring users can keep powering through the day.

Purposeful Design

Following OnePlus’ modern elegant design philosophy, the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro is encased in a

pebble-shaped vertical case with a matte finish and metallic accents, exuding a premium look and

easy grip. And with each earbud weighing just 4.4g, they offer a burdenless listening experience that’s

ideal for users with adventurous lifestyles to enjoy for extended periods of wear.
