Is your OnePlus phone sending data to China? US lawmakers raise alarm
Two U.S. lawmakers have requested an investigation into OnePlus, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, over concerns that the company collects user data without permission and sends it to servers in China. Representatives John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi addressed a letter to the U.S. Commerce Department asking for a review of the security risks posed by OnePlus devices.

Their letter asks the Commerce Department to determine exactly what type of data OnePlus collects and how it is handled. They referenced a commercial analysis that flagged the company's data collection practices as potentially unsafe. Also read: Super App race: How US startups are building all-in-one platforms Moolenaar and Krishnamoorthi expressed worries that OnePlus could be transferring this personal data to servers controlled by entities based in China. This concern comes amid broader U.S. scrutiny of Chinese technology companies and their handling of American consumer data. This is not the first time the U.S. government has raised questions about Chinese tech firms. In 2020, Huawei faced federal charges related to coercion and intellectual property theft. Although Huawei temporarily avoided certain trade restrictions, it remained under close observation for national security issues. Similarly, the social media app TikTok came under fire in 2022 when U.S. officials alleged it shared sensitive user data with its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. At that time, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said the app collected large amounts of data that appeared accessible in Beijing.

The lawmakers want to confirm if OnePlus phones pose national security risks and want the government to take action if necessary. At present, there is no official confirmation that OnePlus has misused user data. However, this situation highlights growing attention to data privacy in the U.S., especially regarding Chinese technology firms.

For instance, OnePlus phones often lead in battery size and charging speed. The OnePlus 13 includes a 6,000mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging, compared to Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra, which has a smaller 5,000mAh battery and slower charging options. A potential ban on OnePlus could reduce consumer choices for phones with advanced battery technologies in the U.S. market. Mobile finder: OnePlus 13s LATEST price, specs and all details

Nothing Phone 3 Battery And Charging Details Leaked: What You Can Expect
Last Updated: Nothing Phone 3 launch is getting closer and the leaks are making it easy to see what the new flagship device will offer. Nothing Phone 3 details are getting clear as day with every leak and with the official launch next week, we have more specs revealed through various sources. Earlier this week, we talked about the rumoured Phone 3 specs which includes the display size, camera setup and the battery size. But now we have more certifications that share accurate details about the new Nothing flagship phone. The FCC filing has been mentioned in this report, which has details about the Nothing Phone 3 specs like battery, its charging speed and even the model number which the company has revealed itself. The Phone 3 is said to pack a 5,150mAh battery which is just marginally bigger than what you get with the Phone 3a series and even just 300mAh bigger than the Phone 2 model from the company. Going by these numbers, it feels like Nothing is unlikely to adopt the silicon carbide tech for its battery, something that would have made it possible to fit a 6,000mAh unit like the OnePlus 13, in a sleek body. The display is being tipped to be flat like most of the phones launched in 2025. The leak via Gadget Bits earlier claims the new model will get a 6.7-inch OLED LTPO display with 1.5K resolution. He also says the Phone 3 will offer a triple camera system that includes a trio of 50MP wide, 3x periscope telephoto and an ultra-wide lens. The previous battery details from the tipster suggested Nothing could support 100W charging speed but that seems unlikely with the latest updates. Nothing CEO Carl Pei has hinted at a starting price of EUR 800 for the Phone 3 but that does not mean we will see the device launch at the said range. In fact, using the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset means the company will have to realign their strategy, especially in markets like India, where you have the Poco F7 and the iQOO Neo 10 available for under Rs 35K with the same hardware.

OnePlus Nord 5 to Feature Dual 50MP Sensors and a Stunning Ultra-Wide Camera
OnePlus, a leading global technology brand, recently announced the OnePlus Nord 5 and the OnePlus Nord CE5. The new OnePlus Nord 5 brings significant performance enhancements and elevates the imaging capabilities to meet the evolving demands of today's smartphone users. Building on OnePlus's legacy of innovative camera technology, the OnePlus Nord 5 comes equipped with a 50 + 50 MP camera along with flagship-grade camera sensors on both the front and back, ensuring stunning details and lifelike colours in every shot, no matter the lighting conditions. Flagship-grade Imaging System for Every Moment The OnePlus Nord 5 introduces a dual 50MP Ultra-Clear camera system on both the front and rear. The rear camera boasts the advanced LYT-700 sensor, previously exclusive to the flagship OnePlus 13 series, bringing flagship-level imaging to the Nord lineup. Leveraging the OnePlus 13's HDR algorithm, the OnePlus Nord 5 ensures lifelike color reproduction and exceptional detail retention, even in low-lighting conditions. Calibrated for precision, the OnePlus Nord 5 also excels in portrait and group photography, producing natural skin tones and reduced noise across various lighting conditions. Its advanced HDR processing ensures balanced exposures, while the 116° ultra-wide lens (8MP) captures expansive scenes without distortion. The front camera also marks a significant upgrade with the all new 50MP JN5 sensor typically found in premium flagship devices. Accompanying the front camera sensor is hardware multi-focusing (autofocus) that ensures maximum clarity when capturing the challenging low-light groufies or selfies. Advanced LivePhoto Technology The OnePlus Nord 5 brings an upgraded LivePhoto functionality with Ultra HDR support, capturing 3-second motion shots with exceptional clarity. It records 1.5 seconds before and after the shutter press, rendering the cover photo in Ultra HDR quality. 4K Video Capture The OnePlus Nord 5 also brings support for 4K video recording at 60fps for both the front and rear camera, ensuring that every moment is recorded in breathtaking detail and fluidity. OnePlus Buds 4 Redefine Noise Cancellation with Intelligent Adaptive ANC and Adaptive Mode OnePlus today highlighted the sophisticated Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) capabilities of its latest true wireless earbuds, the OnePlus Buds 4. Featuring industry-leading Real-time Adaptive ANC, the Buds 4 achieve an exceptional noise reduction depth of up to 55dB across an ultra-wide 5500Hz frequency range, effectively silencing a vast spectrum of ambient sounds.

Is the OnePlus Nord 5 about to raise the bar for budget phone photography?
The OnePlus Nord 5 is coming next phones, and it might be a contender for the best mid-range smartphone for the year. That's because the brand is gunning for the budget photography crown with the Nord 5 by slapping a 50MP camera on the handset. OnePlus promises it's pulling flagship-grade sensors into the mid-range. On the rear, there'll be a LYT-700 sensor – the same one used in the OnePlus 13 series. That's paired with a dual 50MP setup for a pretty solid system. The Nord 5 will use the HDR algorithms from the 13 too. In theory, that should mean more realistic colours and better detail, even when lighting is no good. If you're the type who insists on cramming lots into one frame, there's also an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 116-degree field of view, which OnePlus claims won't distort everything into oblivion. Things are pretty impressive round front as well. The selfie snapper is a 50MP JN5 sensor, again a flagship-level part, complete with autofocus. Selfies in the dark should be no problem, and group selfies will be sharp and balanced. Video lovers aren't left out either. The Nord 5 does 4K video at 60fps on both front and back cameras. Add to that OnePlus' upgraded LivePhoto feature – 3-second clips with Ultra HDR baked in – and it looks like the tech giant is trying to turn every shutter press into something shareable. I'll admit, part of me wants to see if the Nord 5's camera actually lives up to the hype. If it does, the days of having to fork out for a flagship just to get a decent front camera might finally be numbered. The Nord 5 will be joined by the OnePlus Buds 4, which are apparently rocking some fairly serious noise-cancelling tech. They'll all arrive at an event on 8 July. Pricing hasn't been officially announced yet. But if OnePlus stays true to form, we're probably looking at something that significantly undercuts flagships.

OnePlus Nord 5 camera details revealed, it will pack pro-level 50-megapixel camera sensor
Ahead of the phone's launch on July 8, OnePlus is continuing with its feature drop for the OnePlus Nord 5 and the Nord CE5. On Tuesday, the company revealed that the OnePlus Nord 5 will be coming with the same 50-megapixel main camera sensor that it has also used in the OnePlus 13 series, including the recently launched OnePlus 13s. In other words, the company is promising stellar camera performance with the Nord 5, although it is certain that apart from the sensor, the rest of the camera hardware — lenses and other parts — would be Tuesday, the company said that the OnePlus Nord 5 will use the same Sony LYT-700 image sensor for its rear camera, which we earlier saw in the flagship OnePlus 13 series devices.

Accompanying the 50-megapixel rear camera would be an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 116-degree field of even though the phone's camera hardware is certain to share some similarities with the flagship phones, users should still keep their expectations in line with the segment in which the Nord 5 would arrive. That is because, given its expected aggressive price, there are chances that its camera system would not be the exact replica of what we have seen in the OnePlus 13. Irrespective, OnePlus is promising that the Nord 5 would offer a superbly competent camera system that will use 'the OnePlus 13 HDR algorithm' to ensure that the OnePlus Nord 5 offers 'lifelike colour reproduction and exceptional detail retention, even in low-light conditions.'advertisement In addition, the company is also promising features like the LivePhoto functionality with Ultra HDR support and 4K video not all details are known about the OnePlus Nord 5 yet, so far it has also been revealed that the phone would use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which should make it one of the fastest phones in its segment.

This is going to be a pair of fully loaded earbuds, complete with active noise Tuesday, OnePlus highlighted that the Buds 4 will feature Intelligent Adaptive ANC and Adaptive Mode.

'Running up to 800 times per second, the system ensures precise and responsive ANC performance in every scenario.'Currently, it is not clear how OnePlus would be pricing the Nord 5, Nord CE5 and Buds 4 in India. But if the pricing for the previous OnePlus devices in this series is an indication, Indian consumers can expect the phones to carry a price of around 25,000 to Rs 30,000, with the effective price after some launch discounts being slightly lower. At the same time, they can expect the price of Buds 4 to fall somewhere around Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000. Of course, there is nothing official about these prices. They are based on a purely educated guess. It is possible that OnePlus might break the pattern and surprise consumers — this way or that — depending on what it has packed into the Nord 5, Nord CE5 and the Buds 4. Well, we will know on July 8.- Ends
