The next OnePlus Nord phones might be just around the corner. According to tipster Yogesh Brar’s now deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), the OnePlus Nord 5 and OnePlus Nord CE 5 are expected to launch in India on July 8.
While OnePlus hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, leaks have already given us a good idea of what to expect from both phones. Here’s what we know about both phones so far.
OnePlus Nord 5 – What To Expect?
The OnePlus Nord 5 could be a big step up from its predecessor. It’s rumored to come with MediaTek’s powerful Dimensity 9400e chipset, the same chip used in the Realme GT 7. If true, this would make it a solid performer, even rivalling some Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones. That’s a serious jump from the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip found in the Nord 4.
The Nord 5 is also tipped to feature a massive 7,000mAh battery, a big upgrade over the 5,500mAh unit in the Nord 4. It’s said to support 100W fast charging, which should make topping up quick despite the large battery. If you’re into gaming or heavy usage, this will be a huge plus.
Display-wise, it might sport a flat OLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, likely with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It’s unclear if the screen size will remain the same as the 6.74-inch display on the Nord 4, given the larger battery.
Design leaks suggest a glass back and plastic frame, moving away from the Nord 4’s more durable metal body. Whether that affects the in-hand feel or durability remains to be seen. On the camera front, expect the same setup as the Nord 4, which includes a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide and a 16MP front shooter.
OnePlus Nord CE 5 – What To Expect?
The Nord CE 5 is rumoured to come with a 6.7-inch flat OLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset. It could pack 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
Camera specs look familiar, which could include a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 16MP front camera. It may also feature a 7,100mAh battery with 80W fast charging.
OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 – Expected Price in India
The Nord 5 is expected to be priced under Rs 35,000, though it could land closer to Rs 30,000 during launch offers. For comparison, the Nord 4 launched at Rs 29,999, but considering the performance and battery upgrades, a slightly higher price tag wouldn’t be surprising.
As for the Nord CE 5, pricing could be around Rs 25,000, in line with the Rs 24,999 price tag of the Nord CE 4.
While none of this is official yet, we can expect more details to surface as we get closer to the launch date.
