OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 India launch today at 2PM: Leaked specs and prices
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 hardware.OnePlus 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 camera.Other 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 model.advertisementA 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 China.OnePlus 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.

Under Rs 30,000: From Nothing to iQOO, top 5 mid-range smartphones
Earlier, people had to spend quite a lot to get an Android phone that performs well and also has good cameras. Now, Rs 30,000 is a solid budget for those eyeing an Android smartphone that excels in photography, gaming, or offers a flagship-like experience. If you've made it halfway through the year still undecided, here's a list to help you choose a solid mid-range smartphone under this budget. Realme's latest flagship is the first in India to feature the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, capable of running 7-billion parameter generative AI models. It offers 128GB or 256GB of internal storage and is available exclusively on Amazon. The phone features a 6.78-inch 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 6,000 nits. It runs Realme UI 5 based on Android 14 and has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. Realme also touts its advanced cooling system, which includes smart power tuning and a 10014 mm² 3D tempered dual vapour chamber. The rear sports a dual-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens, while the front has a 32MP selfie camera. It supports 4K video recording and houses a large 5,500 mAh battery with 100W fast charging. The iQOO Neo 10R features a 6.7-inch flat 1.5K resolution display with 2.5D curved glass and a 120Hz refresh rate.

It features a 50MP primary and 8MP ultra-wide rear camera combo, and a 32MP front camera capable of 4K recording at 30fps. A large 6,400 mAh battery supports the entire system. With its robust performance, sharp display, and great battery life, the iQOO Neo 10R stands out as a top gaming phone under Rs 30,000. The Nothing 3a Pro offers a standout design with a transparent back and functional Glyph LED lights that also act as notification indicators.

Intel beats shareholder lawsuit over $32 billion stock plunge
By Jonathan Stempel A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit accusing Intel of defrauding shareholders by concealing problems in a business where it manufactured chips for outside customers, leading to a $32 billion one-day plunge in its market value. While saying she "understands plaintiffs' frustrations," U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco ruled on Wednesday that Intel did not wait too long to reveal a $7 billion fiscal 2023 operating loss in its foundry business. Intel's stock price sank 26% last August 2, one day after the chipmaker announced more than 15,000 layoffs and suspended its dividend, hoping to save $10 billion in 2025. The Santa Clara, California-based company created the foundry business in 2021 to serve customers including and Qualcomm, while still making chips and wafers for internal use. In a 21-page decision, Thompson said Intel made clear that foundry results would be "obscured" until 2024, meaning its earlier financial reporting was not false and misleading. Thompson also cited an "overarching policy consideration" that because Intel's public statements suggested a "trial-and-error" approach to the foundry business, the company could have faced risks from reporting preliminary, unaudited data. The judge dismissed an earlier version of the lawsuit in March. Wednesday's dismissal was with prejudice, meaning the shareholders cannot sue again.
