OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 India launch tomorrow: Check out the expected specifications, price, and more
Both devices are poised to challenge the status quo with standout cameras, fast charging tech, and bold design. As OnePlus prepares to stream its Summer Launch event, the hype is real: these new Nord phones promise to redefine value and performance in India's bustling mid-tier market.
OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 launch date in India
Along with the OnePlus Buds 4 release, OnePlus has formally confirmed that the Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 smartphones will debut in India on July 8 at 2:00 PM IST. According to the company's press release, these new devices will be available for purchase on Amazon India and OnePlus' official online shop.
OnePlus Nord 5 expected specifications
The OnePlus Nord 5's battery is one of its main selling qualities. If the reported information is accurate, the handset might have a huge 7,000mAh battery, which is uncommon for smartphones at this price. A phone with such a massive battery might have an advantage regarding backup, particularly for users who use their phones all day for business, entertainment, or gaming.
To compensate for the longer charging time that large batteries often require, OnePlus is reportedly rumored to provide 100W wired fast charging.
It is anticipated that the Nord 5 would perform noticeably better than its predecessor. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a powerful processor that should provide seamless performance, is verified to power the phone.
Although there had been speculation that OnePlus would use MediaTek's Dimensity 9400e CPU, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 has now been confirmed as the final option. With this, the Nord 4's speed will probably increase noticeably compared to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.
Improvements are also anticipated for the display.
A flat OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 1.5K is suggested by leaks. Although it hasn't been verified, the screen size may remain similar to the 6.74-inch panel in the previous edition or increase slightly due to the larger battery.
The manufacturer is abandoning the dual-tone finish and switching to a cleaner, simpler style, suggesting that the design is also undergoing a makeover. The phone may launch in light colors like off-white and pale blue, and the rear cameras are positioned vertically in a pill-shaped module.
In contrast to the Nord 4's metal frame, OnePlus may go with a glass back and plastic frame this time.
Although it might affect the premium feel, this could aid in lowering the overall weight and maintaining the price.
No significant hardware changes are anticipated for cameras. Like the previous iteration, the back configuration might have an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel primary sensor.
Users may receive a 16-megapixel camera on the front. OnePlus may, however, focus on picture optimization to enhance performance without significantly altering camera specifications.
OnePlus Nord CE 5 expected specifications
The OnePlus Nord CE 5, a little less expensive phone, will also be unveiled by the company alongside it. This model is anticipated to include a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It might have a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 CPU under the hood, 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
There are rumors about a 7,100mAh battery that can be charged with 80W. The Nord CE 5 may have a 16-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel primary camera.
OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 expected price
Industry insiders suggest that the OnePlus Nord 5 may launch in the Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000 area, however OnePlus has not yet disclosed the official pricing for its future Nord series handsets.
Pre-orders should commence soon after the launch event, and the smartphones should be available for purchase soon after. The Nord CE 5, on the other hand, is said to be priced more reasonably, possibly around Rs 25,000.

Amazon banks on India's smaller cities ahead of first 3-day Prime Day sale
Amazon is banking on India's smaller cities to fuel its next phase of growth, with non-metropolitan areas now accounting for up to 70 per cent of customer orders as the e-commerce giant prepares for its longest Prime Day sale yet. The shift highlights a dramatic transformation in India's digital commerce landscape and Amazon's Rs 2,000 crore investment strategy to capture market share before rivals cement their positions in the country's emerging digital heartland. Amazon India is launching its first three-day Prime Day sale from 12 to 14 July. This is backed by five new fulfilment centres in cities like Indore, Bhubaneswar, Kochi, and Rajpura, plus an additional site in Delhi-NCR. The expansion adds over 1.8 million cubic feet of storage capacity and reflects the company's broader push beyond traditional metropolitan strongholds. 'We see those markets as ones which are rapidly coming online and adopting e-commerce in a very big way,' Abhinav Singh, Vice President, Operations, Amazon India and Australia, told Business Standard, noting rising expectations for selection, convenience, and speed. He attributed the company's deepening push into tier-2 and tier-3 cities to surging internet adoption and rising customer expectations. Amazon is expanding its fulfilment and delivery network nationwide to meet growing demand for same- and next-day delivery. He said the company is fully prepared for the three-day Prime Day event, backed by a strengthened operations network and recent pricing changes for sellers. Amazon is also expanding its last-mile footprint across India's smaller cities, adding more than 30 new delivery stations in tier-2 and tier-3 locations such as Nagpur, Panchkula, Hubli, Mohali, Howrah, and Indore. This adds to the company's network of over 2,000 delivery stations and 28,000 neighbourhood partner stores nationwide. The move aims to boost delivery speed and capacity as e-commerce demand deepens beyond India's metro hubs. Amazon's chief rival, Flipkart, is also aggressively expanding into smaller cities and scaling up its quick commerce service. When asked how Amazon's approach differs, Singh declined to compare directly with competitors. But he emphasised Amazon's customer-first strategy: 'We are focused on the vision of delivering the widest selection at the fastest speed to every single Indian. Our perspectives are not shaped by what any other organisation does but by what our customers want,' he noted. When asked about unique operational challenges in places like Hubli or Howrah compared to Mumbai or Delhi, Singh noted India's rapidly improving infrastructure across regions. He emphasised Amazon's local approach: 'Our intent is always to invest in the local market,' he said. This is supported by a very wide network of hundreds of delivery service partners and trucking partners. He acknowledged the complexity of delivery cost structures in smaller cities but emphasised Amazon's long-term tech-driven strategy to address it. Regarding customising fulfilment technologies or delivery models needed for smaller cities, Singh emphasised a hybrid approach. This includes using globally relevant solutions wherever they apply to India, while also building locally when needed. Citing India-first innovations like the 'I Have Space' programme with 28,000 Kirana partners, Cash on Delivery, and doorstep buyback, Singh noted that these models have since been exported to other markets. Analysts say that India's online retail market could grow to $325 billion by 2030, more than four times the $70 billion recorded in 2022, driven largely by demand from smaller cities, according to Deloitte India. Looking ahead, Singh sees continued expansion of Amazon's fulfilment and last-mile network, with deeper ties to India Post and Indian Railways, reinforcing speed, reliability, and safety across the country. 'We'll continue to double down on everything we've invested in over the past decade—with a consistent focus on associate and customer safety, speed, and reliability,' he said.
