OnePlus is gearing up for the launch of its most powerful Nord device yet. The company has officially confirmed that the OnePlus Nord 5 will be unveiled in India on July 8, 2025, at 2 PM IST. The launch event will also feature the Nord CE 5 and OnePlus Buds 4, making it a significant day for OnePlus fans.
Bold New Design Inspired by Flagship Models
The Nord 5 appears to draw heavy design inspiration from the Ace 5 Ultra Edition, which debuted earlier in China. It features a sleek, flat design on both the front and back panels, complemented by an oval-shaped dual-camera layout. The build is expected to offer IP65-rated water and dust resistance, a first for the Nord lineup.
The device will sport a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with support for a 144Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, 1400 nits peak brightness, and 3840Hz PWM dimming, promising a vivid and fluid viewing experience.
Flagship-Grade Performance with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
For the first time in Nord history, the series is set to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset — a significant leap in performance. The device is expected to be available in 8GB and 12GB RAM variants, with 256GB of base storage.
Gaming is clearly a focus, with the Nord 5 promising support for up to 144fps gameplay in supported titles like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile. A 7,300mm² VC cooling system will help manage heat during long sessions, ensuring consistent performance.
Long-Lasting Battery with Fast Charging
Another area of improvement is battery life. The Nord 5 is rumored to house a large 6,550–6,650mAh battery, supported by 80W SuperVOOC fast charging. With this, users can expect a full day of usage and quick top-ups when needed.
Camera Setup and Software
On the photography front, the Nord 5 is likely to carry a 50MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while selfies will be handled by a 16MP front-facing lens.
It is expected to ship with Android 15 running on OxygenOS 15, along with features like an in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.3, and even an infrared sensor.
Aiming to Regain Trust with Lifetime Display Warranty
In a move that signals increased customer focus, OnePlus is also teasing a lifetime screen warranty for the Nord 5. This could be a direct response to prior display issues reported in older Nord models, such as green tint problems.
Final Word
With flagship-grade internals, a refreshed design, and bold after-sales promises, the OnePlus Nord 5 looks ready to dominate the mid-range segment. It’s shaping up to be not just the most advanced Nord yet—but possibly a serious challenger to premium smartphones in its price range.
