After confirming the metal body, and software update details, OnePlus has confirmed that the Nord 4 will be powered by Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. It has also detailed the cooling system of the phone.
OnePlus said that the Nord 4 was built from the ground up to have a cool feel in the hand. The company has added that the engineers worked really hard, from the very first design, to balance heat dissipation and comfort.
Regarding this, the company said:
Our team ran huge amounts of research focusing on how our users use their phones, like horizontal during gaming sessions and vertical when you’re taking epic selfies and making calls. This led to us building an all new internal structure and using innovative heat dissipation materials to essentially build a thermal conduction barrier between OnePlus Nord 4’s innards and your hand. So no matter what you’re doing with the phone, heat transfer is effectively blocked, and the phone remains comfortable to use.
Since the OnePlus Nord 4 uses aluminum alloy which has better heat capacity than glass, the temperature control capability of OnePlus Nord 4 isn’t compromised by its back cover, said the company.
Cooling System
The OnePlus Nord 4 has high-density graphite sheet, a steel vapor chamber and a micron-level copper foil. Together, this all adds up to 17,900 square millimeters to keep the phone running smoothly under high temperatures.
There are 13 temperature sensors that can effectively regulate the phone’s temperature. “In tests done by one of our community in India at 45 degrees Celsius, with GPS navigation on and 10 applications running in the background, OnePlus Nord 4’s average temperature on the back was shown to be 7 degrees Celsius lower than the Samsung A55,” says OnePlus.
“At 40 degrees Celsius, watching short videos on Instagram and using WhatsApp for video calls, the average temperature on the back is 3.5 to 5 degrees Celsius lower than that of the Samsung A55,” it added.
The OnePlus Nord 4 has been stored in an environment of 75 degrees Celsius for 7 days without any abnormalities in appearance or functionality. Even if the phone heats up to some extent in high-temperature conditions, it remains safe and reliable, and can be used with assurance, said OnePlus.
The OnePlus Nord 4 will be sold on Amazon after the launch on July 16th, and we should know more details in the coming days.
