OnePlus announces summer launch event to introduce five new products
Top tech brand OnePlus has had a busy 2025 so far with the arrival of flagship products the OnePlus 13 smartphone, Pad 3 tablet and Watch 3 wearable.
Now the firm has confirmed the launch of five new products.
The event will take place on July 8 just days after the reveal of Phone 3 by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei's new firm Nothing.
And there are rumours of at least two more major smartphone launches in early July.
The new OnePlus devices include two handsets in the mid-range smartphone OnePlus Nord series - OnePlus Nord 5 and OnePlus Nord CE5.
There is also a new flagship audio product, OnePlus Buds 4. And there's a new size coming for the acclaimed OnePlus Watch 3 that will be 43mm. On top of all this we get a new addition to the company's tablet line-up, OnePlus Pad Lite.
Here's everything we know so far…
OnePlus Nord 5, revealed today in the light blue Dry Ice colourway (above) alongside the Marble Mist version of the OnePlus Nord CE5, both represent a breakthrough in the Nord line-up.
This is because they are the first devices in the series to feature Snapdragon 8 series chipsets. Powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform with a 4nm architecture and flagship Kryo CPU, paired with LPDDR5X RAM, the firm said this device delivers unparalleled performance in its class, achieving an AnTuTu score of 1.59 million.
Nord 5's performance credentials extend to gaming, with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inheriting GPU architecture from the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, supporting Snapdragon Elite Gaming with hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing.
OnePlus Nord 5 promises top notch thermal management and robust support for leading mobile games. For example, the device will run Call of Duty Mobile natively at a solid 144fps, delivering the ultimate experience for intense, competitive gaming.
The incoming OnePlus Buds 4 redefines standard offering flagship sound quality offered by dual drivers, dual DACs, Hi-Res LHDC 5.0 and 3D Audio. For gamers, OnePlus Buds 4 will offer 47ms ultra-low latency in Game Mode, ensuring audio syncs perfectly with on-screen action.There are two colour options, Zen Green and Storm Grey.
The highly acclaimed OnePlus Watch 3 has become known for its long battery life, accurate GPS and excellent health and wellbeing metrics. The smaller iteration packs in all the same features to a 43mm silver steel frame.
Following the successful launch of the OnePlus Pad 3 in June, the company is expanding its tablet offering with a new entry-level tablet, OnePlus Pad Lite. Available in Aero Blue in Ireland and Europe, the device is an affordable entertainment and productivity hub.
OnePlus promise to reveal more details about all the upcoming products in the coming weeks.
The firm also confirmed a Pop-Up tour of Europe, visiting seven countries. The first pop-up event will be held in Helsinki (Finland) on July 8, followed by London (UK) on July 10. The next pop-up will be in Copenhagen (Denmark) on July 11, followed by Antwerp (Belgium), Paris (France) and Warsaw (Poland) on July 12. The pop-ups conclude in Madrid (Spain) on July 16.
The pop-ups give the OnePlus community an opportunity to get early hands-on with the full suite of products, exclusive discounts not available elsewhere, and the chance to win devices from across the firm's ecosystem.
You can also purchase a range of older OnePlus products from the Amazon store which regularly offers special deals and discounts.

Nothing confirms new Eir partnership ahead of launch of Phone 3 flagship
London-based consumer technology brand Nothing has launched its first retail partnership with Eir with a brilliant introductory offer that could bag you a €99 set of earphones for free. The team-up has occurred ahead of the launch of the third Nothing flagship Android smartphone, Phone 3, on July 1. Nothing has already released two compelling smartphones this year, both in the mid-range market. The cut-price offerings Phone 3a and 3a Pro are both powered by a zippy and capable Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 chip that can handle almost anything you throw at them comfortably. Now, Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro are available in Eir's 72 nationwide stores. This means that Eir is the only place in Ireland where Nothing Phone 3a Pro are available on a monthly contract. You can also buy the Nothing devices from Eir online or SIM-free in Harvey Norman stores or direct from the Nothing website. To celebrate the Eir partnership, from Friday, Nothing is running an introductory offer which means customers can claim a free set of Ear A earbuds worth €99 when any Phone 3a Series handset is purchased (while stocks last). Meanwhile, in the firm's typical style, Nothing has already confirmed ahead of the official launch event that the upcoming Nothing Phone 3 flagship phone will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 platform. The firm said the chip will deliver a 31 percent performance boost and a 49 percent gaming performance boost over the Nothing Phone 2 which was released two years ago in July 2023. More importantly perhaps, the firm has also revealed it is ditching the Glyph Interface and replacing it with a new light show feature called the Glyph Matrix that reminds me a little of the dot display on the rear of the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro. Nothing's head of design Adam Bates has said: "Instead of predefined light strips, we now have a dense field of programmable micro-LEDs, a canvas for real-time, glanceable communication that feels alive, playful, and deeply personal. The Glyph Matrix allows for dynamic animations, symbolic visuals, and pixel-level responsiveness in a way segmented strips never could. 'It unlocks features where sound and light evolve together to create personalised cues. These features transform the back of the device into an expressive, functional surface, something that doesn't just alert you, but communicates with you.' You can also buy the full range of Nothing products on Amazon where there are bound to be discounts galore on Amazon's Prime Day which is running from July 8 to 11.

OnePlus Pad 3 1st impressions: can an Android tablet finally replace my laptop?
On-fire tech brand OnePlus has launched OnePlus Pad 3, a flagship tablet fusing supercharged hardware with clever software and AI features. It comes hot on the heels of the OnePlus Pad 2 which I said was 'ideal for streaming TV shows, watching movies, reading e-books and magazines and browsing websites'. It was one of a number of tablets we reviewed last year that hoped to challenge the dominance of Apple iPad in the market. Huawei matched Apple in terms of hardware on its MatePad Pro 12.2. We said the Paper Matte Edition had a superior display to every other tablet including Apple's flagship iPad Pro in our review. However, hardware is only half the story on tablets and apart from the excellent free GoPaint app that rivals the iPad-only Procreate app, Huawei's MatePad Pro fell way short of what iPad offers in software. That's because of the range of iPad optimised apps which makes it easy for Apple. We also reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ which is a similar size to OnePlus Pad 3 but costs almost double the price. It was probably the most complete Android tablet I've tested yet but did not offer enough compelling features to challenge Apple's flagship iPad Pro. The OnePlus Pad 2 was probably closest to the mid-range iPad Air series. It was "a device with zippy performance, a bright and colourful display, powerful speakers and outstanding battery life. And it was powered by last year's high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip along with a decent 12GB of RAM". Now along comes the OnePlus Pad 3 and I've decided to test it for an upcoming full review by ditching my Windows laptop for a couple of weeks to see if the Android tablet can replace the notebook for both work and play. In the meantime, here are my first impressions… The OnePlus Pad 3 sure looks the part. Measuring less than 6mm thin, the device has a metal unibody design to ensure it is super strong and bend resistant. It weighs just 675g so it's light enough to take everywhere with you. My review unit is a hue that the company calls Storm Blue. The tablet's large, pin-sharp, 13.2in LCD display comes with 3.4k resolution, 12-bit colour depth and pixel density of 315 PPI (pixels per inch). It's perfect for displaying everything from the latest blockbuster movie to your latest work presentation. And its unique 7:5 aspect ratio means multitasking is an absolute breeze. Eight symmetrically placed speakers - four woofers and four tweeters - add to the immersive media consumption experience. Under the hood is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, the most powerful mobile system-on-a-chip on the market, coupled with up to 16GB that should be all the power you need for high-end productivity or intensive gaming. The model I'm testing only has 12GB of RAM but I haven't noticed any lag or stutter - it is breezing through everything I throw at it. Battery life is rated at up to 17 hours which is almost double some rival tablets. Overall, the new OnePlus Pad 3 combines a premium hardware and software experience at an iPad Air price point. I'm looking forward to testing the machine out fully in the coming days and weeks. I'm using it with the firm's latest Smart Keyboard. It seamlessly connects to the tablet using the built-in pogo pins and no Bluetooth connection is needed. The accompanying stand can be adjusted to a range of angles, just like a laptop. OnePlus Pad 3 is on sale at for €599 (12GB/256GB) and €699 (16GB/512GB). The Stylo accessory is €99, the Smart Keyboard is €169 and the folio case is €59. The 13in Apple iPad Air, for comparison, costs from €979 from
