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.
What’s inside the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord 5 CE?
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.
OnePlus Buds 4: high-res audio with style
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.
Launch details, price talk, and surprises?
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.
