Excitement builds as the OnePlus Nord 5 series launch appears imminent. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, both the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 will debut globally on July 8 – mirroring last year’s Nord 4 launch timeline. While OnePlus remains silent, leaks suggest these phones could be rebranded versions of China’s Ace 5 series.
OnePlus Nord 5: Upgrades & Pricing
The OnePlus Nord 5 is tipped to launch at ₹30,000 in India – identical to the Nord 4’s starting price. But the upgrades are substantial:
- Battery Revolution: A colossal 6,650mAh battery (vs. Nord 4’s 5,500mAh) with 100W fast charging
- Chipset Shift: MediaTek Dimensity 9400e (similar to Realme GT 7) replacing Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3
- Camera Setup: 50MP OIS main + 8MP ultra-wide lens, 16MP selfie camera
💡 Highlight: The 6,650mAh battery could make the OnePlus Nord 5 the longest-lasting mid-ranger in 2024 – a 21% capacity jump over its predecessor.
OnePlus Nord CE 5: Leaked Specifications
Recently spotted on BIS certification, the Nord CE 5 brings its own surprises:
- Display: 6.7″ FHD+ OLED flat panel (120Hz)
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8350 (vs. CE 4’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3)
- Cameras: 50MP Sony main + 8MP ultra-wide (replacing depth sensor)
- Battery Beast: 7,100mAh cell with 80W charging – 29% larger than CE 4’s
The OnePlus Nord 5 series signals OnePlus’ aggressive mid-range strategy. Shifting to MediaTek chips could lower costs while delivering flagship-tier performance. The battery upgrades target a key pain point – competing directly with gaming phones like the Realme GT 7.
If leaks hold, the OnePlus Nord 5 will redefine mid-range expectations with desktop-grade battery life and camera improvements – all under ₹30,000.
