OnePlus Nord 5: OnePlus’s Nord series has always been the best option in the mid-range segment, but this time OnePlus is going to do something big. Two new smartphones are being launched on July 8, 2025 – OnePlus Nord 5 and OnePlus Nord CE5. Along with these, the company is also bringing OnePlus Buds 4 wireless earbuds. The launch time is 2 pm, and its event will be held simultaneously all over the world.
But what is most discussed is the camera system of OnePlus Nord 5. The company has officially teased it and told that the camera features of OnePlus 13 series have been used in it. Yes, the same flagship level camera is now going to be available in Nord 5, and that too in a higher budget.
Pro touch will be available in the camera
The back side of OnePlus Nord 5 will have a 50MP Sony LYT-700 main camera, which will get OIS i.e. optical image stabilization support. This means – now the effect of shaking will not be seen while making a video or clicking a photo and the result will be super sharp. This camera can record 4K video at 60fps, which is available in very few mid-range phones today.
Talking about the front camera, OnePlus has not made any compromise here either. The front will get a 50MP Samsung JN5 sensor, which is a hardware level autofocus camera. Meaning your selfie will come out sharp and natural every time, be it a group photo or a video call.
Snapdragon 8 chipset for the first time
Now let’s talk about the processor. This time OnePlus has completely upgraded the Nord series. For the first time, the Snapdragon 8 series processor will be seen in Nord 5 – that too Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 built on 4nm technology. This means that now the Nord series will also give flagship-like results in terms of performance, and that too at a very low price.
With this processor, LPDDR5X RAM support will be available, which will double the fun of multitasking and smooth experience. Whether you are editing photos, gaming or video rendering – everything will run super fast and without lag.
Special gift for gamers
If you are a fan of BGMI, Call of Duty or other heavy games, then OnePlus Nord 5 can become a gaming machine for you. This phone has support for Snapdragon Elite Gaming, and also gets hardware level real time Ray Tracing – which is available in very few phones today.
BGMI will get natural gameplay of 90fps, and with the help of frame interpolation, you will also be able to get an experience of up to 144fps. Call of Duty Mobile also runs at 144fps, which makes gaming very smooth and responsive. Along with this, this phone has a Cryo-Velocity VC cooling system, which is taken from OnePlus 13. It has a heat dissipation area of 7300mm² and graphene thermal keeps the processor, battery and camera cool – so that the phone does not heat up even during long gaming sessions and the performance remains consistent.
OnePlus Buds 4 also ready for launch
Not just the phone, OnePlus is also launching the Buds 4 wireless earbuds this time. These will have Dual Driver system, Dual DACs, Hi-Res LHDC 5.0 support, 3D Audio and 47ms Game Mode. This means, whether you are listening to songs or playing games – the audio quality will be premium and the lag will be negligible.
The Buds 4 will come in two great color options – Zen Green and Storm Gray. Their look will be quite elegant and will fit perfectly in the OnePlus Ecosystem.
When and where will it be available?
When these devices are launched on July 8, 2025, their information, pre-order and registration will start on OnePlus.in and Amazon.in from the same day. The company has not yet revealed the price, but it is believed that the OnePlus Nord 5 will come at a bang-on price, making it possible to bring flagship features to mid-budget users.
