OnePlus Nord CE 5 to launch on July 8: India price, specs and everything we know so far
OnePlus is preparing to unveil a wave of new products at its Summer Launch Event scheduled for July 8. While the spotlight may be on the much-anticipated Nord 5, another device in the lineup is already making waves through leaks — the OnePlus Nord CE 5. Poised to follow in the footsteps of the Nord CE 4, the upcoming smartphone is shaping up to be a compelling mid-range option, particularly for users focused on performance and battery life. While the company has kept its cards closed so far, the rumours and leaks paints a good enough picture of what is coming. Let's take a look.
advertisementOnePlus Nord CE 5: What to expect Display and Design: On the front, the Nord CE 5 is rumoured to feature a 6.77-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth visuals and vibrant colours — perfect for binge-watching and gaming on the go. In terms of design, don't expect a radical overhaul. Much like its predecessor, the phone is expected to retain a vertical camera layout and the familiar OnePlus branding on the rear. However, we might see new colour variants introduced to freshen up the aesthetic.Battery: One of the standout features of the Nord CE 5 — if early leaks are to be believed — is its colossal 7,100mAh battery. This would make it one of the largest batteries in any OnePlus device to date, promising exceptional battery life for power users. And with support for 80W fast charging, topping up such a massive cell shouldn't be a painfully long process either.advertisement
Processor and Camera: Under the hood, the device is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset. This same processor was seen recently in the Infinix GT 30 Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, and should offer reliable mid-range performance suitable for everyday multitasking and casual gaming.For photography enthusiasts, the Nord CE 5 is tipped to feature a dual rear camera system, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Meanwhile, a 16-megapixel front camera is expected to handle selfies and video calls.Durability: The phone is also said to include an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance — offering some protection against the elements, though not suited for heavy rain or full submersion. This should be enough to guard against the occasional spill or drizzle, keeping in line with other devices in the mid-tier bracket.OnePlus Nord CE 5: Expected price While OnePlus has remained tight-lipped about pricing, we can look at its predecessor, the Nord CE 4, for a reasonable estimate. That model debuted in India starting at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage version, with the higher 256GB variant priced at Rs 26,999. The Nord CE 5 is expected to follow suit, likely launching in the Rs 25,000 price range. - Ends

Sony India launches new BRAVIA Theatre System 6, Bar 6 soundbars at Rs 39,990 and Rs 49,990
Sony India has introduced two new soundbar models in an expansion of its BRAVIA Theatre lineup of home entertainment products. The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 is a 3.1.2ch soundbar and comes with a wireless subwoofer while the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 is a 5.1ch home theatre system with a dedicated subwoofer as well as wireless rear speakers. Both devices have been specifically designed by Sony's audio engineers to deliver cinematic-level audio quality at a customer's home, the company said in a launch event held in New Delhi on Monday, June 30. Sunil Nayyar, the managing director of Sony India, said the company is looking to capture 50 per cent share of the soundbar market in India, up from its currently estimated 39 to 40 per cent share. With the launch of the two new soundbars, Sony is targeting the Rs 20,000-50,000 segment which is said to be growing at a phenomenal rate. 'As Indian consumers increasingly demand richer audio-visual experiences, we are confident that this range will set a new benchmark in the premium home entertainment segment,' Nayyar said. The BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 has been priced at Rs 39,990 from July 1 onwards while the BRAVIA Theatre System 6 comes with a price tag of Rs 49,990 and will go on sale from July 3 this year. Both soundbars will be available for purchase across Sony's retail outlets, major electronics stores, and other e-commerce sites in India, the company said. The BRAVIA Theatre System 6 is a 5.1ch soundbar with a 1000 Watt output and a dedicated subwoofer as well as wireless rear speakers. Its Multi-Stereo Content feature allows the soundbar to replicate stereo sound from the left and right channels to the centre and rear speakers. It has fewer wires and has been designed to occupy less space, as per the company. Meanwhile, the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 is a slightly smaller version that comes with a wireless subwoofer for a well-balanced bass sound as well as clear dialogue. The Bar 6 also comes with two upfiring speakers that project sound vertically to deliver immersive overhead audio. However, the Bar 6 is not compatible with any of Sony's existing speakers. Dolby Atmos & DTS:X are present in both the System 6 and Bar 6 soundbars. They are powered by Sony's Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround. For clear dialogue, the System 6 and Bar 6 have been designed with Sony's Voice Zoom 3 technology that uses AI/ML to recognise human voices in order to amplify or reduce volume so that even faint dialogues are clear. Both System 6 and Bar 6 include Night and Voice modes as well. While Night Mode softens loud effects while enhancing subtle sounds and dialogue, Voice Mode enhances vocal frequencies to make speech stand out more clearly. Volume and other settings can be accessed via Sony's BRAVIA Connect app. It is possible to control features such as sound field and volume using just the TV remote. 'In markets like India, where powerful bass and immersive audio are deeply valued, our new BRAVIA Theatre lineup, including the System 6 and Bar 6, is specifically tuned to meet these expectations. This integration not only reflects our commitment to local preferences but also signals our long-term strategy to lead in the premium home entertainment segment globally,' said Nezu Daisuke, the global head of Sony's Home Product Business Division. 'With technologies like the Vertical Surround Engine, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and a newly developed speaker architecture, BRAVIA Theatre System 6 offers expansive, detailed and balanced sound. What sets it apart is the dedicated tuning we have done for Indian audiences—deep, punchy bass and clear vocals that elevate both movies and music,' said Tomoya Kato, Senior Acoustic Engineer, Sony.

OnePlus Nord 5 India launch in 1 week: Expected price and specs
The OnePlus Nord 5 is set to launch in India on July 8, which is just 1 week away. The device has been surrounded by speculation for weeks, and while the company hasn't revealed everything just yet, multiple leaks have painted a fairly detailed picture of what users can expect. From a faster processor to a massive battery, the Nord 5 could offer more than what the current model does, especially in terms of day-to-day performance and charging speed. Here are the details based on the Nord 5 India launch in 1 week: Expected price and specsNew processor?One of the biggest updates coming with the OnePlus Nord 5 is under the hood. The phone is officially confirmed to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. This is a notable step up from the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 used in the Nord 4. This new chip falls in the high-end category and is expected to handle heavy apps, gaming, and multitasking with some reports suggested that OnePlus might use the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e, which would have been a bold move. That processor offers performance close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and if that had been used, it would have been a big leap in this segment. However, even with the 8s Gen 3, the Nord 5 appears to be the most powerful Nord phone so could be its biggest highlightadvertisement Where OnePlus seems to be making the most noticeable change is battery size. The Nord 5 is rumoured to come with a huge 7,000mAh battery, something rarely seen in smartphones, especially those under Rs 30,000. This could give the Nord 5 a serious edge in terms of endurance, especially for people who are on their phones all day. To make charging this large battery quick and hassle-free, OnePlus is also tipped to include support for 100W wired OLED screen and new design?On the front, the OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to sport a flat OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. While the exact display size is still unclear, there's a chance that the company might retain the 6.74-inch screen from the Nord 4 or go slightly bigger, considering the larger battery terms of looks, OnePlus is moving away from the Nord 4's dual-tone finish and horizontal camera setup. The Nord 5 features a pill-shaped, vertically placed camera module, giving it a refreshed appearance. Some of the early teasers also indicate light colour options like off-white and pale blue, in line with the clean design language the Nord series has followed in the for build materials, tipsters suggest that the OnePlus Nord 5 might switch to a glass back paired with a plastic frame, a change that could help reduce costs and weight. However, that might also take away the slightly premium feel that the metal frame of the Nord 4 offered. We will have to see whether these rumours are true and how that trade-off plays out in everyday upgrades?Unlike the battery and chipset, the leaks suggest that the camera setup may not get a major upgrade this time. If rumours are true, the OnePlus Nord 5 will carry the same 50-megapixel main sensor and 8-megapixel ultrawide lens as its predecessor. On the front, the phone could include a 16-megapixel selfie camera. While these details are not confirmed by the brand yet, OnePlus is expected to improve the camera experience. It could rely on better image tuning to improve results rather than changing the hardware. It's also possible that sensor quality has been improved even if the numbers look the Nord 5: Price in India (expected)OnePlus hasn't revealed the pricing yet, but the phone is tipped to cost under Rs 30,000 for the base model. To recall, the Nord 3 had a starting price of Rs 33,999 and the Nord 4 was introduced at a lower price of Rs 29,999. If OnePlus continues with the same pricing strategy, the Nord 5 could end up offering solid value for the price, especially with upgrades in performance and battery.- Ends
