OnePlus just dropped two new phones in India—the Nord 5 and the Nord CE 5—and both are bringing the heat. Think Android 15 out of the box, a fresh set of AI features borrowed from the OnePlus 13s, and sleek new designs. The Nord 5 even ditches the classic alert slider for a programmable “Plus Key” that you can customise. Oh, and both phones pack in a 50MP camera, ship with matching TPU cases, and come bundled with 80W chargers. Nice.
OnePlus Nord 5 Specs and features
Let’s start with the star of the show. The Nord 5 rocks a massive 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1800 nits peak brightness—so it’s smooth and super bright outdoors. Under the hood, you get the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. That’s flagship-level stuff for way less money.
For cameras, there’s a 50MP Sony LYT-700 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a solid 50MP selfie shooter with a Samsung sensor. It’s got all the essentials too: in-display fingerprint scanner, IR blaster, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4. The 6,800mAh battery with 80W charging? Absolute beast. And yep, it’s IP65-rated for splash protection.
OnePlus Nord CE 5 Specs and features
The Nord CE 5 cuts a few corners but still delivers solid value. You get a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED display (120Hz refresh rate, 1400 nits brightness) and a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chip. It’s paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage—plenty for everyday use.
Camera-wise, there’s a 50MP main sensor (LYT-600), 8MP ultrawide, and a 16MP selfie camera. It also has an in-display fingerprint scanner, IR blaster in the camera bump, and a chunky 7,100mAh battery that charges at 80W. Solid specs for the price.
