OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 India launch today at 2PM: Leaked specs and prices
OnePlus is gearing up to introduce two new smartphones, Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 in India today, with the official launch scheduled to go live at 2:00PM. The event will be streamed on the company's YouTube channel and is part of a broader global unveiling that also includes a new smartwatch, a lighter tablet, and fresh TWS earbuds. While OnePlus has kept much of the official information under wraps, several leaks over the past few weeks have already given users a fairly clear picture of what to expect from the new Nord lineup. Both phones are positioned for the mid-range market and could prove compelling options if the rumoured specifications hold Nord 5: What we know so farThe Nord 5 is likely to turn heads with its unusually large 7,000mAh battery, which could appeal strongly to users who rely heavily on their phones throughout the day for work, entertainment, or gaming. Fast charging is also part of the package, with reports suggesting 100W wired support, making it one of the fastest-charging phones in its the hood, the Nord 5 is confirmed to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which is expected to bring a noticeable performance jump over the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 used in the Nord 4. The display is also getting some attention, with leaks pointing to a flat OLED panel offering 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen size is expected to be close to 6.74 inches, or perhaps even a bit more due to the larger battery footprint. In terms of design, the phone may adopt a simpler, cleaner look, moving away from the dual-tone back of previous models. A vertical pill-shaped camera housing is likely, and colour options may include pale blue and off-white. For build materials, OnePlus could use a glass back with a plastic frame, a change that may help reduce costs and weight but could slightly affect the premium feel. The camera setup isn't expected to see big changes. Some reports indicate a 50-megapixel main rear camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 16-megapixel front camera. The improvements, if any, may come in image processing rather than Nord CE 5: Slightly lower price, still loadedThe Nord CE 5 is aimed at a more affordable price range and is expected to include a 6.7-inch OLED display with the same 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It's also expected to feature a 7,100mAh battery, with slightly slower 80W fast charging, which still keeps it ahead of many phones in the segment. Camera specifications are expected to mirror the Nord 5 with a 50-megapixel main rear sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter. For selfies, we could see a 16-megapixel front launches: Watch, tablet, and budsOnePlus is also set to unveil a smaller smartwatch, likely to be called the OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm). The device is expected to feature a 1.32-inch display and a more compact, lighter build than the original 46mm new entry-level tablet, likely branded OnePlus Pad Lite, is also expected to make its debut, though specific details about its specifications remain unclear. The company may also announce the OnePlus Buds 4, which was earlier launched in Nord 5, Nord CE 5: Expected price in IndiaPricing will be a key factor for both phones. The OnePlus Nord 5 is likely to stick to a sub-Rs 30,000 tag, similar to its predecessor. If the leaks turn out to be accurate, this could make it one of the most powerful options in its category. The Nord CE 5, with slightly toned-down internals, may be priced around Rs 25,000, potentially making it a strong pick in the lower-midrange segment.

5 smartphone myths you shouldn't fall for in 2025
Smartphones play a crucial role in our daily life, with over 7 billion users worldwide relying on these devices for communication, work, entertainment and creating content to make money. Despite rapid innovation and aggressive marketing, many buyers fall for common myths that can lead to poor purchasing decisions and wasted money. Understanding the facts behind these myths can help consumers make smarter choices. Here are five widespread smartphone misconceptions you should know before your next purchase. RAM in smartphones acts as short-term memory for running apps and processes. While the amount of RAM in phones has grown, from 6GB to as high as 16GB in some models, having more RAM does not automatically make a phone faster. Instead, RAM allows the phone to keep more apps active simultaneously without reloading them from slower storage. The speed of the RAM and the efficiency of the phone's processor play a bigger role in overall performance. A phone with a powerful processor and optimised software will often outperform one with excessive RAM but weaker hardware. Therefore, prioritising processor quality and software efficiency is more important than simply choosing the phone with the highest RAM. Also read: Love robots? 5 shows where humanoid robots are unexpected heroes High-end processors like Snapdragon 8 Elite or Apple's A18 Pro often receive attention for their raw power and gaming capabilities. However, most users will find mid-range processors such as Snapdragon 7 series or MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series to be more than sufficient for daily tasks like browsing, messaging, and streaming. Real-world performance depends heavily on software optimisation rather than just processor speed. Phones with mid-range chips and well-tuned software can provide smooth user experiences and better battery management. While flagship processors offer advanced AI and camera functions, these features rarely impact the average user's daily routine. Instead, focusing on how well the phone performs in everyday tasks and receives updates should guide your choice. Also read: Microsoft cancels Xbox handheld, but teases more thrilling portable gaming experience with Asus ROG Ally Many buyers believe that a higher megapixel count or multiple cameras automatically produce superior photos. In reality, photo quality depends on sensor size, lens quality, and image processing algorithms more than just the number of lenses or megapixels. Phones may include extra cameras like macro or depth sensors that serve little practical use and primarily boost marketing appeal. A well-executed dual-camera system often delivers better results than cluttered multi-camera setups on budget phones. Also, very high megapixel counts, such as 200MP, use pixel binning to combine pixels for better low-light shots, which results in photos that are smaller in resolution than the sensor suggests. Exceptional models like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra use high-resolution sensors to enable features such as detailed cropping and 8K video, but these benefits depend on good overall camera design, not megapixels alone. Also read: India's digital job scene to expand in 2025 with rise in AI and data-driven roles Specifications like high refresh rate displays, fast/rapid charging, and many camera lenses look impressive, but don't always translate into a smooth user experience. Software optimisation, battery management, thermal control, and regular software updates contribute significantly to how well a mobile phone performs day-to-day. A device with top-end specs but poor software tuning can feel slower and less reliable than a mid-range phone with efficient software. When choosing a phone, pay close attention to real-world reviews and the manufacturer's update policies rather than just the spec sheet. Specs and features often dominate buying decisions, but a critical aspect lies beyond the initial unboxing: after-sales support. Even the most advanced smartphones can develop faults or require repairs. Unfortunately, some brands have inconsistent warranty policies or limited service infrastructure. Users might face long waits for repairs, unavailability of parts, or out-of-pocket expenses for manufacturer faults. Issues like screen defects or battery problems can turn an otherwise good phone into a costly burden if support is lacking. Researching a brand's reputation and the quality of its customer service is essential for a smooth ownership experience. Also read: How to quietly limit someone on Instagram without blocking, unfollowing, or causing drama Smartphone buyers should look beyond marketing claims and focus on the real factors that affect their usage experience. More RAM doesn't mean faster speed, flagship processors are not necessary for most, megapixels aren't the sole measure of photo quality, and after-sales support matters as much as hardware specs. Consumers can avoid overspending and disappointment by understanding these truths and selecting devices that truly fit their needs. The key is to balance hardware capability, software optimisation, and reliable support rather than chasing every flashy spec on the market.
