For optics, the Nord 4 is equipped with a dual camera featuring a 50MP wide lens (Sony LYTIA) with f/1.8 aperture and another 8MP ultra-wide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture, which is also a Sony sensor. For selfies, the device is equipped with a 16MP camera. The rear cameras support 4K video recording, whereas the selfie shooter is capable of shooting 1080p videos.

Last but not least, the device ships with Android 14-based OxygenOS 14.1 out of the box, and OnePlus is promising six years of software and security support.
