Weekly poll: who wants a OnePlus Nord 5 or a Nord CE5?
The OnePlus Nord 5 sports a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which showed great performance in our review. It comes with Android 15 out of the box and will receive 4 OS updates. It has a large 6.83' OLED display with fast 144Hz refresh rate and a sizable 6,800mAh battery, if we're talking about the unit sold in India. The international model has only 5,200mAh capacity.

The Nord 5 also has a capable 50MP main (1/1.56' LYT-700) and 50MP selfie (1/2.75' JN5) cameras (the 8MP ultra-wide is not so good). We do wish it had eSIM, though.
The OnePlus Nord CE5 has an even bigger battery – the biggest OnePlus battery, in fact, at 7,100mAh. But again, this is only for the Indian market, everyone else gets a 5,200mAh power cell and will have to pretend to be happy with that.
OnePlus Nord CE5
The CE5 is powered by the Dimensity 8350 Apex with all-big CPU cores and it has expandable storage, unlike its sibling. The main 50MP camera here is smaller and you only get a 16MP selfie. We will be testing those soon.
At a glance: OnePlus Nord 5 • OnePlus Nord CE5
Both phones are rated IP65, the Nord 5 also has Gorilla Glass 7i to protect the display. Both phones went on sale last week. Did you buy one? Are you planning to? First, a look at the prices: OnePlus Nord 5 OnePlus Nord CE5 8/128GB - €300 / £250 / ₹25,000 8/256GB €450/ £400 / ₹32,000 €350 / £300 / ₹29,000 12/512GB €500 / £450 / ₹38,000 -
Let's start with the OnePlus Nord 5 – it's the most powerful Nord yet, though you can find phones with more performance for the same price (and some even cost less). Will you buy one?
The OnePlus Nord CE5 comes as a more affordable alternative, though the price gap between the 256GB Nord 5 and CE5 in India is pretty small. And outside of India, the phone feels a lot less special with that smaller battery. Are you interested? OnePlus Nord 5 5G OnePlus Nord CE5 5G

Lava Blaze Dragon leaks with specs, images and live photos
We already know that Lava is planning to launch two new devices this month – the Blaze AMOLED 2 and the Blaze Dragon. Lava has provided some additional details on the Blaze Dragon, primarily that it will launch on July 25. Industry sources are filling the gaps and claiming that the phone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, alongside 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The main camera is reportedly a 50MP unit. Sources also say that the phone will run a stock version of Android 15. Lava Blaze Dragon launching in India on 25 July Under 10K :- Snapdragon 4 Gen 2- UFS 3.1 - 50MP main camera#lava #LavaBlazeDragon — Santanu (@TechnicalShaan) July 18, 2025 We can glean some additional information from the official-looking renders of the phone, such as the presence of another camera on the back of the Blaze Dragon, likely an ultrawide lens, but potentially a supplementary sensor like a 2MP depth or macro camera. We can also clearly see a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom frame alongside the Type-C port. Beyond the official renders, the Blaze Dragon has apparently also leaked in some live photos. Thankfully, in a different color, allowing us to see the cool 'rainbow' light reflection effect on the camera island. There are no shots of the phone's front side, likely by design.
