OnePlus is loading up for a July 8 launch in India—and it’s bringing serious heat. We’re talking two new phones—the Nord 5 and Nord 5 CE—plus a shiny new pair of OnePlus Buds. And if you’re into mobile gaming or high-end audio, there’s a lot to be hyped about.
The star of the show is clearly the OnePlus Nord 5. It’s powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, and OnePlus claims this thing is built for gamers. Expect a buttery-smooth 144 FPS gaming experience and five hours of non-stop gameplay—without melting your hands, thanks to what OnePlus calls the segment’s largest vapour chamber cooling system (a massive 7300mm², if you’re into numbers).
The Nord 5 CE will also rock a Snapdragon 8-series chip, so it won’t be slacking either. While OnePlus hasn’t spilled the full camera specs yet, teaser images show a vertical dual-camera setup—so, expect at least two rear sensors on both devices. Battery-wise, reports suggest the Nord 5 might pack a 6,700mAh battery, and the Nord 5 CE could go even bigger with a 7,100mAh unit. Basically, these phones are ready for long hours of scrolling, streaming, and slaying.
Also dropping at the same event are the OnePlus Buds 4. These wireless earbuds are sleek, premium-looking, and come in two colours: Storm Grey and Zen Green. With Hi-Res Audio, LHDC 5.0 support, and 3D spatial sound, OnePlus says they’ll deliver a “front-row audio experience.” TL;DR: crisp vocals, deep bass, and immersive vibes, whether you're zoning out to music or watching a movie.
The OnePlus launch kicks off at 2 p.m. on July 8, and all products will go live on the OnePlus Store and Amazon India. While official prices are still under wraps, early buzz suggests the Nord 5 series might stay under ₹30,000, which, if true, could make them serious value-for-money contenders.
Oh, and here’s a bonus: some rumours say OnePlus might sneak in a few more surprises like the OnePlus Watch 3 and Pad Lite. We’ll know soon enough.
