OnePlus global on X (formerly Twitter) shared a teaser video for the launch of the OnePlus Nord 5 series. The video highlighted that the smartphone is coming soon with 'dragon speed and elite performance.' However, later, the past was removed, creating more curiosity among the fans.
In the video, we also got a small glimpse of the smartphone's new camera design, which looks slightly similar to the Galaxy A56 model, but we can say that it includes a dual camera setup. Now that the teaser has been deleted, we may have to wait a little longer to know what the upcoming OnePlus Nord 5 series has in store for users and what upgrades are expected.

The OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 are expected to be rebranded versions of the Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition, which were earlier launched in China. The smartphones will likely be launched at under Rs.30000 in India, giving tough competition to other mid-range smartphones in the market. Previously, the Nord 5 was expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chip, however, a new Geekbench listing reveals a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. Whereas, the Nord CE 5 could get a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip.
The OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the Nord CE 5 may sport a 6.7-inch OLED display. The Nord 5 will likely be backed by a 6700mAh battery, whereas the Nord CE 5 may come with a 7100mAh battery.

‘Drone Strike Near My Home': Indian Techie Lied During Op Sindoor To Skip Work, Says Ex-Boss
Soham Parekh allegedly manipulated his US employer by falsely claiming to be in a war zone during the India-Pakistan military standoff. Soham Parekh, the Indian tech professional embroiled in a massive moonlighting scandal involving over 30 startups, is now facing fresh allegations- this time of lying about being in a conflict zone during Operation Sindoor in order to avoid work. Arkadiy Telegin, co-founder of the US-based AI startup Leaping AI, claimed on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that Soham Parekh emotionally manipulated him in May by pretending to be under threat during the cross-border escalation. According to Arkadiy Telegin, Soham Parekh falsely claimed that a drone had struck near his home in Mumbai. 'Soham used to guilt-trip me for being slow on PRs when the India-Pakistan thing was going on, all while he was in Mumbai," Arkadiy Telegin posted, sharing screenshots of their chat. In one message, Soham Parekh wrote, 'Drone shot down 10 minutes away", later adding that a nearby building was damaged- a claim now believed to be entirely fabricated. Arkadiy Telegin accused Soham Parekh of using the situation to stall work and deflect accountability, calling the incident 'manipulative and dishonest." He added sarcastically, 'The next person should hire him for the Chief Intelligence Officer role." The latest revelation follows an industry-wide uproar over Soham Parekh's admission that he was simultaneously employed by 34 different startups, many of them backed by leading accelerator Y Combinator. Suhail Doshi, former CEO of Mixpanel, was among the first to flag the issue, revealing that he terminated Soham Parekh within a week of hiring him. Other startup founders soon followed with similar experiences. One halted Soham Parekh's trial period after seeing Suhail Doshi's post while another said they discovered his overlapping employment only after conducting their own background check. Soham Parekh Admits To Deception Soham Parekh admitted to working multiple jobs without disclosure, saying, 'It is true. I'm not proud of what I've done. But I had to do this out of necessity. I was in extremely dire financial circumstances." He claimed to have handled all assigned work himself without outsourcing or relying on AI tools and said he worked up to 140 hours a week. Soham Parekh Now Hired By AI Startup Darwin Despite the controversy, Soham Parekh landed a new job with Darwin, a San Francisco-based AI startup. Darwin's CEO, Sanjit Juneja, expressed support for the hire, saying, 'Soham is an incredibly talented engineer, and we believe in his abilities to help bring our products to market." Soham Parekh confirmed that he has ended all other engagements and signed an exclusive agreement with Darwin. In a post, he wrote, 'I've been isolated, written off and shut out by nearly everyone I've known and every company I've worked at. But building is the only thing I've ever truly known, and it's what I'll keep doing."

Your deleted ChatGPT chats might still be stored and reviewed, thanks to a new court order
Anonymity may be called a myth in the modern age when tech companies and digital platforms can access whatever they want, often without us even realising it. The latest twist in this story comes from the world of artificial intelligence, where a court order now requires OpenAI to keep records of every ChatGPT conversation including those users thought they had deleted. For anyone who values privacy, this is a wake-up call about just how little control we have once our words are out there. A court order forces OpenAI to keep all ChatGPT chats, raising questions about privacy and the future of digital conversations.(Unsplash) Deleted doesn't always mean gone Most of us assume that when we hit delete on a chat or clear our history, our digital footprint disappears. But that's not the case anymore for ChatGPT users. The New York Times, along with other media outlets and authors, is suing OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming they used copyrighted content to train their AI models without permission, according to Ars Technica. As part of the lawsuit, a New York magistrate judge has ordered OpenAI to preserve all user conversations, even the ones users have tried to erase. Normally, deleted chats vanish from OpenAI's servers after 30 days, but that process is now on hold for the duration of the case. This rule affects everyone using ChatGPT's Free, Plus, Pro, and Team plans, though it doesn't apply to Enterprise or Education accounts with special data agreements. OpenAI is not happy about this. The company argues that the order goes against user privacy and what people expect when they delete their chats. CEO Sam Altman has called the request troubling and says OpenAI will keep fighting it, but for now, the court's decision stands. All logs must be kept indefinitely unless the order is changed. What this means for everyday users So, what does this mean for the average person chatting with ChatGPT? In theory, your old and deleted messages could be accessed by legal teams involved in the lawsuit. OpenAI insists only a small, audited group of legal and security staff will have access, and these conversations won't be made public. Even so, the possibility of your private chats being reviewed by strangers is unsettling for many. The reality is, most of these logs will probably never be looked at. The sheer volume of data makes it unlikely that more than a tiny fraction will be reviewed. Still, the case raises bigger questions about privacy, data security, and who really owns your digital conversations once they're out in the world. The lines between personal privacy, copyright law, and corporate interests are getting blurrier with AI's quick advancement and adoption. Regular users now find their private conversations caught in the middle of a legal battle between tech giants and media companies. While OpenAI promises to keep user data safe and private, the outcome of this case could set a precedent for how all AI platforms handle our information in the future.

1 engineer, many jobs and a hiring reckoning for tech
Over this week, both Reddit and X were on fire over an Indian engineer named Soham Parekh. On Wednesday Suhail Doshi, a San Francisco-based founder associated with the Y Combinator accelerator startup community, posted a tweet about the engineer, with a word of caution. 'He works at 3-4 startups at the same time and has been preying on YC companies. Beware,' Suhail Doshi posted, adding a screenshot of the person's resume. Within a few hours, his X blew up with other startup founders posting that they had hired or fired Sohan Parekh. At least five founders accused the engineer of moonlighting – or job stacking, a practice of working multiple full-time remote jobs concurrently. Representational Image As tweets tumbled one after the other, many founders revealed they had met the engineer online and were impressed in the interview before they hired him. 'He did so incredibly well in interviews, must have a lot of training,' wrote Flo Crivello, another founder based in San Francisco, adding that the lesson they learnt from this was to always run backdoor checks and spend more time scrolling Twitter. 'He has been doing this for years and works at more than four startups at any given time,' wrote Nicolai Ouporov posting an email from the engineer. 'We realized pretty quickly that he was working at multiple companies and let him go,' wrote New York-based Matthew Parkhurst, joking that hiring Soham seems to be the new rite of passage for startups in San Francisco. Another founder wrote how they had interviewed Parekh in a WeWork and then saw him giving an interview to another startup in the same coworking space. Gerry Tan, president and CEO of YCombinator, posted a meme of Scooby Doo catching a thief. 'The startup guild of YC is a necessary invention to help founders be more successful that they would be alone,' he joked. As the controversy tumbled into a meme, a fake Parekh account blossomed on X and people started to joke about hiring the engineer. And urban legends started doing the rounds -- such as one that suggested that Parekh had several software mules working for him. This is another scam in a list of scams that the Silicon Valley has gone through, but what it tells us is that there is a lack of good quality engineers to hire. Startups in the Valley often end up hiring remote workers – living in other cities or across the world (for instance, it isn't clear where Parekh is based). This and the fact that coding can now be done with AI, has made it possible for smart engineers to take up multiple jobs. There is even a Reddit sub r/overemployed which supports jobstacking and moonlighting. You can potentially have multiple jobs, say no to meeting online or in real life and get multiple salaries. Some startup founders even appreciated the hustle that came with moonlighting this way. What the controversy also shows us is that we're increasingly working with people we haven't met and might not meet in real life. I have worked for and hired remotely on projects. Many a times, it was a few years before I met the people in person. Sometimes, even when you're in the same city, country or state, you end up working on Zoom or Microsoft Teams. With sophisticated video and interactive apps, working remotely with each other is easier. However, as AI-generated fake profiles proliferate, we have also become susceptible to scams. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find out if someone whose profile you saw on LinkedIn is real or not. And I'm not talking about them lying about their credentials. I'm talking about completely synthetic profiles with AI-generated photographs. LinkedIn's transparency report mentioned that in 2024, more than 70 million fake accounts were identified and removed during the registration process. There are high chances today that someone you are friends with online is a synthetic digital persona. With audio-video generation, it has become easier to develop a fake persona, complete with videos and even real-time interaction on Zoom. As these scams become increasingly sophisticated, we will see more of them happening around us – to our friends or our colleagues. But as is the nature of Silicon Valley, the problem of synthetic digital scams has given rise to another industry. Startups are building cryptographically-signed blockchain for digital identity – to protect our identity from being stolen and abused in digital spaces. Next time you give an interview, the startup founder will probably ask you to give a block-chained verifiable digital identity to prove that you're you and that you're real in the video interview. Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy Sohamgate play out on social media. Shweta Taneja is an author and journalist based in the Bay Area.
