The OnePlus Nord 4 stands out in the $500 segment of the Android smartphone market, thanks to its unique metal unibody design. It has recently become even more appealing with the introduction of a new software update, OxygenOS 15. This update promises enhanced AI functionalities alongside the innovative Share to iOS feature, enhancing the overall user experience on the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3-powered device.
During our tests, the Nord 4 impressed us with its performance in mobile gaming, offering a distinct advantage over similar devices in its price range, like the Pixel 8a and Realme GT 6T, which sport the more common glass sandwich design. With this latest software update, OnePlus ensures its users can maximize their productivity and enjoyment with the device over an extended period.
The OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 update for the Nord 4 is based on Android 15 and is available globally, regardless of the purchase location, be it India, Europe, or elsewhere. One of the highlights of this update is the Touch to Share with iOS feature. This functionality permits seamless file transfers to an iPhone directly, necessitating the Oppo OConnect app on the iOS device.
Moreover, OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 enhances several AI-driven features such as Audio Summary, Call Summary, Documents AI, and Notes AI. Security, a paramount concern for many users, is also improved with this update, bringing the device’s security patch level up to January 2025.
Meanwhile, the previous generation, Nord 3, is also receiving a security patch through the OxygenOS 15.0.0.403 update, although this is, as of now, only available in India. The rollout of the 15.0.0.500 update is underway globally, and as an added bonus, the Nord 4 is currently available on Amazon in Europe at a discounted price, offering €170 off its original €599.
For tech enthusiasts, the Nord 4 represents an enticing choice, providing robust performance, cutting-edge features, and a design that distinguishes itself from its peers. With the latest updates, OnePlus continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering value and innovation to its users worldwide.
