OnePlus has always been targeting the mid-range segment with a premium feel and Nord 5 also seems to be carrying forward the same tradition.

Design & Style

As far as the design is concerned, OnePlus Nord 5 can come with a very clean and modern look. From the leaked pictures and info, it seems that this time the company has used a single shade glass back instead of dual-tone design, which makes the phone look more elegant and mature. The frame may be made of plastic, but the whole look will feel premium when taken in hand. OnePlus takes great care of the feel in its phones and the same experience is going to be available in Nord 5 as well.

Display & Visuals

Now talking about the display, OnePlus Nord 5 has a big 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, which is expected to get 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This means that whether you watch movies, scroll Instagram or do gaming – everything will look fast, smooth and visually great. The advantage of the AMOLED panel is that the colors look brighter and deeper, making your overall viewing experience quite rich.

Performance & Processor

This time OnePlus has installed a game changer processor in the Nord series. Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 – This is the same chipset that brings the performance of the 8 series to the mid-range. Meaning, heavy games, multitasking, video editing, and power-hungry apps – everything will run smoothly. With this, LPDDR5X RAM is expected, which will make the phone even faster. And yes, the special thing for gamers is that games like BGMI will be supported up to 90fps, and software interpolation can also be enjoyed up to 144fps.

Camera Setup

This phone can prove to be a treat for photography enthusiasts. At the back, there will be a 50MP Sony LYT-700 sensor with OIS i.e. Optical Image Stabilization. This technology makes the photo sharp and stable. With this, an 8MP ultra-wide camera will be available which covers a wide angle of 116 degrees.

This means that your face will always be clear and in focus during selfies and video calls. Both the front and rear cameras will support 4K@60fps video recording, which is a huge plus point in this price range.
