Following the recent debut of the OnePlus 13s in India, the company is now preparing to introduce its upcoming mid-range offerings—the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5. The Nord 5 lineup is scheduled to debut on July 8 at 2 PM IST. As per the brand’s statement, this series represents a major advancement in mid-range smartphone capabilities, bringing high-end performance within reach of everyday users.
OnePlus Nord 5 specifications:
The OnePlus Nord 5 is emerging as a strong challenger in the performance-driven midrange category. Unlike the OnePlus 13R, which is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Nord 5 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset—a refined iteration of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, the Nord 5 promises to deliver an impressive gaming experience within its price bracket.
On the photography front, the Nord 5 is rumored to feature a dual-camera system on the back, comprising a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. For front-facing shots and video chats, a 16MP selfie camera is anticipated. The smartphone is also expected to ship with Android 15 pre-installed, offering users the newest software experience from day one.
The device is likely to be backed by a hefty 6,700mAh battery, paired with support for ultra-fast 100W charging technology.
OnePlus Nord CE 5 specifications:
The Nord CE 5 is likely to feature a 6.7-inch flat OLED display, delivering Full HD+ clarity and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Its camera configuration is expected to align closely with the more premium Nord 5, boasting a 50MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 16MP front-facing shooter for selfies and video calls.
When it comes to battery performance, the Nord CE 5 is rumored to bring a substantial upgrade over the previous model, packing a 7,100mAh battery supported by 80W rapid charging. In terms of appearance, the device is expected to carry forward the sleek and understated design language of the Nord 5.
OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 India price:
Rumors indicate that the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 might debut in India with pricing around the ₹30,000 mark. However, this projection is based on leaks and unverified sources, and the final pricing details will be revealed only when OnePlus makes an official announcement.
