OnePlus Nord CE 5 review: Long battery life, clean design make it a reliable phone
There was a time when picking a mid-range smartphone was simple. You went with a phone that was affordable, reliable, and had just enough features to make it feel exciting to use. But that was several years ago. Now, even the mid-range segment has been split up into sub-categories such as premium mid-range, budget flagship, and 'lite' models. Weirdly, finding a smartphone that just works without over-complicating things has become harder. This is where the OnePlus Nord CE 5 comes in. Its launch earlier this month alongside the slightly more expensive Nord 5, didn't exactly make headlines due to the lack of over-the-top specs or flashy design. Instead, the Chinese smartphone maker has taken a more grounded approach with the Nord CE 5, focusing on what actually matters: battery life, performance, and long-term software support. Let's not forget about the AI features. While they are not particularly groundbreaking, the fact that they are becoming standard in mainstream models like these says a lot. That said, it does come with a few trade-offs which may leave you wanting for more. Here's my review of the OnePlus Nord CE 5 after a few weeks of usage to see how it holds up. With the Nord CE 5, OnePlus has gone with a design that screams function over form. It's a fairly long phone with gentle curves that provide a decent grip, but the large battery makes the overall design feel a bit clunky to hold in one hand. The phone weighs 199 grams and is 8.2 mm thick, making it a bit heavy, but the weight is still balanced enough to feel comfortable to use with both hands. While the Nord CE 5 is available in Black Affinity and Marble Mist, my review unit came in the Nexus Blue colourway which gives it a lively and playful vibe. Coming to the display, it has a 6.77-inch AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,430 nits peak brightness. It also has support for HDR (High Dynamic Range), making the colours pop on screen. I watched the newly released trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash on it, and the display had just enough visual flair to make the experience feel more cinematic than I thought it would. But there are some compromises as well. Outdoor screen visibility is not great, and the haptics feel soft and muted even by typical Android standards. The Nord CE 5 features Aqua Touch, which allows you to register swipes even with wet or oily fingers. This came in handy in the heavy rain lashing Delhi this week. However, I would still be cautious of oily hands as the back panel seems smudge-resistant but the phone cover that comes in the box, along with a USB-C cable and power adapter, picks up marks easily. The Nord CE 5 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chip, a 4nm processor that has been optimised for power efficiency and thermal management. I received the 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage variant but if you are willing to spring, there's also the 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage on offer. This is enough firepower to easily handle popular titles such as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) and Call of Duty: Mobile. But for those who prioritise mobile gaming, I did notice slight frame drops and warmth during extended sessions. The Nord CE 5 runs on Oxygen OS 15, which has been built atop Android 15. The UI feels smooth and polished overall, but it is not as snappy as I'd hoped. OnePlus is promising six years of software support, including major Android updates and security patches, which is rare to see in the mid-range segment. The mammoth 7100mAh battery is easily one of the strongest points of the Nord CE 5. I was able to comfortably play games, use the camera, enable 5G, switch on mobile hotspot, and scroll through my socials for two full days. Even when the battery level dipped, charging it from zero to full tank took only an hour or so, thanks to the 80W SuperVOOC. The Nord CE 5 also includes smart battery management features as well as battery health engine to reduce wear by limiting charging cycles during overnight charging. I liked the Nord CE 5's camera system. The 50MP main camera with Sony LYT-600 and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) support is good enough to capture high-quality daylight shots with decent dynamic range, and balanced lighting and contrast. It also comes with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. The video recording capabilities are impressive too, with support for 4K maxing out at 60fps and OIS support for smooth, stable footage. OnePlus has also packed the Nord CE 5 with its own set of generative AI features such as AI VoiceScribe, AI Translation, and AI Call Assistant. But the Mind Space feature is the one that stood out to me the most. A three-finger swipe upwards captures a 'memory' of the screen, which gets saved in the Mind Space app along with an AI-generated summary. It served as a handy way for me to track the news in an efficient and organised manner. If you're looking for a reliable, everyday phone with long battery life, vibrant display, and steady performance, the OnePlus Nord CE 5 makes a strong case, especially at its starting price of Rs 24,999. But it is not the best pick for serious gamers or camera-first users. It also skips premium features such as the OnePlus alert slider and the Plus key that comes with the Nord 5 elder sibling. The singly bottom-firing speaker was underwhelming as the audio sounded tinny at maximum volume and lacked clarity.

Sony sues Tencent for allegedly copying PlayStation's Horizon games, creating a 'clone' of its own: Report
It is not every day that you see a multi-billion dollar corporation suing another for alleged infringement of IP copyrights, and in this case, a video game. Sony has accused and sued the fellow multi-billion dollar corporation of intellectual property copyright infringement over its popular 'Horizon' video game series, developed by Guerilla Games, a studio owned by Sony, Reuters reported. A screenshot from Light of Motiram by Tencent.(Tencent) Light of Motiram, a 'Slavish Clone' Of Horizon Games: Sony Sony says that Tencent's Light of Motiram, which is an upcoming game, is a slavish clone of the Horizon series, which has had two games out so far, Horizon Zero Dawn, the first game, and Horizon Forbidden West, which launched for both PS4 and PS5. Horizon features a game world that is set in a post-apocalyptic future, wherein machines have taken over the world, powered by artificial intelligence, and humans are the survivors who are constantly navigating through the world in search for truth, the past remains, and survival by hunting to make ends meet. The common sentiment online says that Light of Motiram does feature an aesthetic that is similar to Sony's Horizon, there are also machines in the game, the attire of the NPCs and your character also resembles what Sony's Horizon does, and that is exactly what Sony is implying here, too. Tencent describes the setting of the game as a 'world where human civilization has ceased to exist, traverse grasslands, deserts, forests, and mountains to explore unique Mechanimals and mysterious ruins in different regions, unlocking the secrets of MOTIRAM.' When is Light of Motiram going to be released? There is currently no word as to when Light of Motiram is going to release, however, the game has already been listed on various stores like Steam and the Epic Games store.

Sony sues Tencent over 'Light of Motiram,' calls game 'slavish clone' of its Horizon series
Sony sues Tencent over 'Light of Motiram,' calls game 'slavish clone' of its Horizon series Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a federal lawsuit against Chinese tech giant Tencent, alleging the company's upcoming game " Light of Motiram " is a "slavish clone" that unlawfully copies core elements from Sony's blockbuster Horizon video game series. The July 25 filing in California federal court seeks $150,000 in statutory damages for each separate work infringed and an immediate injunction to block the game's release. The lawsuit centers on striking similarities between Light of Motiram and Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West games, both featuring red-haired female protagonists battling robotic creatures in post-apocalyptic worlds. Sony claims Tencent's promotional materials, including trailers and screenshots, "misappropriated protectable elements" of the Horizon franchise to a "significant degree," causing consumer confusion about whether the games are related. Tencent pitched Sony a partnership before creating competing game Court documents reveal that Tencent approached Sony at a March 2024 gaming conference in San Francisco, proposing a collaboration to develop a new Horizon game. After Sony rejected the pitch, Tencent allegedly continued developing Light of Motiram in secret before announcing the project later that year. Sony claims Tencent had already begun work on the game in 2023, prior to the partnership proposal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo When Sony attempted to resolve the dispute informally, Tencent reportedly sought again to license Horizon intellectual property. Sony firmly declined and demanded Light of Motiram be withdrawn, but Tencent rejected these demands and signaled plans to proceed with the game's development. Sony uses community's 'shameless' callouts to strengthen its case The lawsuit cites widespread public recognition of the games' similarities, including media who dubbed Light of Motiram "Horizon Zero Originality" and community comments describing it as "shameless." One Steam user comment included in the filing reads: "Not only does it look like a copy of the Horizon games, but you had the cheek to copy the cover art as well." Sony's Horizon series, which debuted in 2017, has sold tens of millions of copies across multiple games and spin-offs. Light of Motiram is being developed by Polaris Quest , a Tencent subsidiary, with no confirmed release date. Neither company responded to requests for comment regarding the lawsuit.
