OnePlus Nord CE 5: OnePlus tries to bring something new every year, and this time the company is in the news for its much-awaited OnePlus Nord CE 5. Its launch in India has been scheduled for July 8, 2025 and the sale will start from July 12. But even before the launch, the heat in the market has increased regarding its features and specifications. Many information has been confirmed, while some are still coming out in the form of rumors. So let’s talk about how powerful this phone is and can it really become the king of the budget segment in 2025?

Performance and Processor

The biggest attraction of OnePlus Nord CE 5 is its processor. It has MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset which is built on 4nm technology. That is, not only powerful performance but also better battery efficiency. The company is claiming that its AnTuTu score goes above 1.47 million, which is a big deal in this segment. Be it gaming or multitasking, this phone promises to give you a smooth experience in every task.

Display

The phone will get a 6.77-inch flat OLED display which comes with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This means that whether you are watching a video or scrolling, every movement will feel very smooth. Due to the OLED panel, you will get to see dark colors deeper and bright colors sharper, which will make the overall experience even better.

Battery and charging

Now talking about the battery of this phone, OnePlus has decided to do something new this time. Nord CE 5 is going to get a 7,100mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, which is considered to be the largest battery in OnePlus phones till date. And not only a big battery, it will also get 80W SuperVOOC fast charging support, which will fully charge the phone in 59 minutes. Not only this, the company claims that you can play YouTube for 6 hours in just 10 minutes of charging. It also has a bypass charging feature for gamers, so that the phone will not heat up too much while playing games.

Camera

It is difficult to take this phone lightly even in terms of camera. OnePlus Nord CE 5 will get a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor which comes with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Along with this, the company has also given advanced technology like RAW HDR, Real Tone Exposure and Ultra HDR of OnePlus 13 series. Support for 4K video recording up to 60fps also makes this camera special. Although complete information about the rest of the rear camera or front camera has not been revealed yet, but some reports have definitely mentioned the 16MP selfie camera.

Software and UI

Talking about the software, the phone will launch with OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15. OnePlus phones have always been known for their clean, fast and smooth user interface. So this time too, a similar experience is expected.

Design and Build

Regarding the design, it is being said that this phone will look very similar to the Nord 5, with a matte finish back panel. The back material can possibly be plastic so that its price can be kept under control. The camera module is placed vertically, which has become a trend nowadays. IP54 rating is also expected, which will keep this phone safe from dust and splash to a great extent.

Price

Now the biggest question comes – how much will it cost? According to reports, the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant could be priced at ₹24,999, while the 256GB variant will come for ₹26,999. Getting so many flagship-like features in this range really makes this phone special.
