OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 could arrive in July: Expected features and price
OnePlus is expected to stretch its Nord series in 2025 with new smartphones like Nord 5 and Nord CE 5. Since the Chinese smartphone maker has not moved on the Nord front this year, the launch may happen anytime in early July.
However, OnePlus has not officially announced the product names, launch date or place of this expected Nord 5 series launch. It did share one post on X couple of days back but deleted it later.
If things go as planned, the OnePlus Nord 5 series would be an extension of Nord CE 4 and Nord 4, which were launched April and July, respectively, last year.
OnePlus is known to offer value-rich phones under the Nord series to mid-segment and premium buyers in India.

Last year, both Nord CE 4 and Nord 4 used the Snapdragon processors, which are likely to continue in the Nord CE 5 and Nord 5.
Battery wise, both CE 4 and Nord 4 shipped with a 5,500 mAh battery supported by a 100 W charger. In 2025, the battery power is expected to go up to 6,000 mAh.
In camera, Nord CE 4 and Nord 4 had the same optical set up of a 50 MP lens and an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, along with a 16 MP front camera. Nord CE 5 and Nord 5 might have a leading 50 MP main with possible improvements in ultrawide and selfie lenses.
As per trend, a 6.7 inch AMLOED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness could be a possibility in both Nord CE 5 and Nord 5.
Nord 5 could cross the 30K price barrier while the Nord CE 5 is expected to have an under 25K tag in India. OnePlus has a continuing partnership with Amazon India and these phones are likely to land on the portal with availability across retail stores as well.

5 things to do for best gaming performance on your mobile
If you love gaming on your smartphone, then you must know how annoying lag and stutter can be. The good news is that with a few quick tweaks, you can boost your mobile's gaming performance and enjoy smoother frame rates. In this guide, we've listed a few easy ways to instantly optimise your phone's gaming performance. Most of the mobile games are made to automatically switch the graphic settings according to your device's capabilities. But some high-end games offer graphics settings to optimise the gameplay experience according to you. Games like BLMI and Genshin Impact provide granular settings to change the graphics quality and frame rates separately. This gives you enough room to optimise the game better on your device. Game mode is becoming a norm on most high-end smartphones like Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi and more. It closes the background tasks to free up more RAM for your games. It offers more features like brightness lock, block notifications and much more. Apart from Game mode, smartphones like Samsung and Xiaomi come with a special high-performance mode. It prioritises CPU and GPU for gaming, minimises background activity and boosts gaming performance. If your phone does not come with a game mode built in, then you can use a third-party game booster or a RAM cleaner app. These apps do the same by closing background activities to boost the gaming performance. We recommend that you install a reliable app and read the reviews to know if the app works or not. During long gaming sessions, smartphones tend to heat up, which can throttle the CPU and GPU. This leads to stuttering and lag, ruining the experience. To avoid this, consider using third-party cooling accessories with your phone. These phone coolers are affordable and widely available on Amazon. It's best to go for one with Peltier technology, as it cools the phone faster and more effectively than those with just a fan. Online multiplayer games need a stable connection with minimal latency. A high ping can cause stuttering in online games, even if your smartphone has top-end hardware. To fix this, check whether your Wi-Fi router supports dual bands. If it doesn't, upgrade to one that has a 5GHz band and make sure your phone connects to that band while gaming.
