The OnePlus Nord 4 also comes with a plethora of AI features; some are meant to facilitate the smooth operation of the phone and its parts, while others are productivity-based tools for the user.
The OnePlus Nord 4 will go on sale for everyone from August 2, and will be available in the 8+128GB, 8+256GB and 12+256GB variants.
Meanwhile, the pre-order date is the same as Amazon Prime Day, on July 20.
