The OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 are likely coming soon. While the company is yet to confirm their existence, tipster Yogesh Brar has claimed that these mid-range phones will be announced on July 8, suggesting that the next OnePlus launch event is about 3 weeks away. Interestingly, some details about these OnePlus Nord phones have already leaked online, giving us a rough idea of what to expect.advertisementOnePlus Nord 5: Leaked specsIf we go by the leaks, the OnePlus Nord 5 will be a very big upgrade over its predecessor. The device could receive significant upgrades in battery, chipset, display and design, making the upcoming phone look quite interesting.Let's first talk about its chipset. It is tipped to pack MediaTek's Dimensity 9400e SoC, which is also powering the recently launched Realme GT 7. This is a powerful chip and is capable of offering performance similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered phones. This is something that we found out in our Realme review and if OnePlus is planning to offer this chip under the Rs 35,000 segment, then gaming on this device will likely be fun. The use of this chip would also likely make it difficult for its rivals to claim the best phone tag. However, let's first wait for OnePlus to confirm the specs and see whether the Nord 5 can deliver better than the current set of well-established phones. For your reference, the OnePlus Nord 4 features a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, so you can expect big performance gains with its successor.advertisement
The Nord 5 is also tipped to pack a whopping 7,000mAh battery that we have started seeing on several phones in the market. A big battery would likely please a lot of users who do gaming for hours. Interestingly, the Realme GT 7 also features the same battery unit, so you can get a rough idea of what how the OnePlus phone could perform with the MediaTek chip. Although, do keep in mind that both phones have different software, so don't expect the exact same results on both of them. The Nord 4 has a 5,500mAh battery under the hood. The new version is said to get support for 100W fast charging.Moving ahead, the upcoming OnePlus phone is said to sport a flat OLED screen with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It could have an in-display fingerprint sensor. It is currently unknown whether the device will retain the 6.74-inch screen that we saw on the Nord 4 because the new version offers a much bigger battery. We will likely get more details soon.
As of now, the design of the Nord 5 is also under wraps. Tipster Debayan Roy claims that the handset will arrive with a glass back and plastic frame, which suggests that the company wants to offer a premium experience to users but the Nord 4 had a metal body, which offered solid durability. It remains to be seen whether the Nord 5 will be able to offer a similar experience to users. Lastly, the rear camera setup is said to remain the same as the Nord 4, featuring a 50-megapixel main and an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor. On the front, we might continue to see the 16-megapixel sensor. Before we talk about the OnePlus Nord CE 5, it is important to keep in mind that all these details are based on leaks and OnePlus is yet to confirm them officially.OnePlus Nord CE 5: Leaked specsThe OnePlus Nord CE 5 is tipped to sport a 6.7-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it may run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Camera-wise, it could offer a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 16-megapixel front camera. The device might also house a large 7,100mAh battery with support for 80W fast wired charging.advertisementOnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5: Expected India priceThe above-mentioned tipster claims that the OnePlus Nord 5 will be priced under Rs 30,000. Although, we expect the price to be under Rs 35,000 in India, likely because of the powerful chip and other specs that OnePlus will be offering. There are chances that the company could price it under Rs 35,000 and the launch sale offers could reduce the price to around Rs 30,000.To recall, the OnePlus Nord 4 was launched in India at Rs 29,999. The chances of the Nord 5 costing as much as the Nord 5 is a little thin because OnePlus has never done that. Although, the Nord 4 was made available at a price cheaper than the Nord 3. For your reference, the Nord 3 was announced at Rs 33,999, Nord 2 at Rs 27,999, and the first-generation Nord at Rs 24,999. So, the India price of the OnePlus Nord 5 could either be Rs 29,999 or a little higher than that because of the upgrades. We will likely get details after a few weeks when the new phones are made official.advertisementAs for the OnePlus Nord CE 5, the device could cost around Rs 25,000 or a little more than that. We don't yet because there are no leaks as of now. The Nord CE 4 was announced at Rs 24,999 in India.
