OnePlus Nord 5 Series vs OnePlus Nord 4 Series: What's new, what stays the same
A quick look at the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5 and how they compare to the Nord 4 and Nord CE4 respectively read more The new lineup of OnePlus Nord phones is here, and before we dive head on into their reviews, let's see what novelties they bring to the table and how they compare to their predecessors. The company just launched the Nord 5 and Nord CE5 in India, and other than a completely different design, the key difference seems to be the processing power. What else is new and what has been left untouched as compared to the Nord 4 and CE4, let's find out. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nord CE4 vs Nord CE5 - Design OnePlus Nord CE5 vs OnePlus Nord CE4 The first noticeable change is the design. Most OnePlus phones released in this financial year seem to speak the iPhone 16 design language for some reason. Be it the pill-shaped camera island or the flat back and rounded corners or the shape of the buttons, it is hard not to think that way. I will circle back to the Nord 5 design in a bit but the Nord CE5 does look better and more striking than its predecessor in its new shell. Nord 4 vs Nord 5 - Camera module The phone feels a bit slimmer too though a tad bigger and heavier. The ingress protection sees a small improvement from IP54 to IP65 to survive the extra splash but not necessarily a dip in the pool. The Nord CE5 gets a slightly bigger 6.77-inch Full HD+ Fluid AMOLED display and it's a little brighter too at 1430 nits (peak) as compared to 1100 nits on the Nord CE4. The refresh rate stays at 120 Hz which is perfectly acceptable for the segment. The OnePlus Nord CE5 receives a significant boost in the processing department with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 making way for a much more potent Mediatek Dimensity 8350 Apex. You get a choice of 8 GB or 12 GB RAM with three storage options - 128 GB, 256 GB and now even 512 GB. The microSD card slot has been retained to expand it further. Battery capacity sees a big jump from the already impressive 5500 mAh to a massive 7100 mAh. It supports 80W fast charging with a corresponding charger bundled along. Nord CE4 vs Nord CE5 - Camera modules The camera setup has pretty much been copy-pasted from the CE4 and comprises a 50MP primary camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide shooter at the back and a 16MP selfie camera up front. Though the cameras are similar, courtesy of a faster processor, you can now record videos at higher FPS. 4K videos can now be captured at up to 60 FPS with the rear camera and 1080p slo-mo videos at up to 480 FPS, which was limited to 120 FPS on the CE4. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nord 5 vs Nord CE5 - Camera modules The OnePlus Nord CE5 runs Android 15 with OxygenOS 15 out of the box. The Nord CE4 launched with Android 14 and is upgradeable to Android 15; in fact, the update rolled out a while ago. But in the long run, the CE5 will have support for newer versions of the OS and security patches for a year longer. The same is applicable for the Nord 5 too that will get four major Android updates in years to come. Speaking of which, let's see how it differs from the Nord 4 and also the Nord CE5. OnePlus Nord 5 vs OnePlus Nord 4 Nord 4 vs Nord 5 - Design Unlike the Nord 4 series where the two phones were distinctly different in appearance, the Nord 5 phones look cut from the same cloth. While I said that the Nord CE5 looks better than its predecessor, I wouldn't say the same about the Nord 5. Yes, it's a subjective call but the Nord 4 with its metal back and a unique design had a lot more character. Mind you, the Nord 5 doesn't look bad at all, and in fact, the Marble Sands variant looks extremely elegant, and just like the OnePlus 13s, it gets the Plus button instead of an Alert slider. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, the Nord 5 feels bulky and heavier in hand in comparison. One thing that contributes to the bulk is a larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution that now supports a higher refresh rate up to 144 Hz. It is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. Another thing that has gone big but in a good way is the battery capacity which has been bumped up to 6800 mAh. The bundled 80W SuperVOOC charger promises to juice it up fully in under an hour. Interestingly, the Nord 4 bundles a 100W charger to charge its 5500 mAh battery. Like the CE5, the Nord 5 too has a pill-shaped camera island, just a little longer to accommodate the flash. The rear camera setup is again quite similar to the Nord 4 with a combination of a 50MP primary camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide snapper. The front camera sees a major upgrade from a 16MP unit to a 50MP unit, and with autofocus. I believe this is the first Nord phone that can record 4K videos using the front camera. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As for the processing power, it sees an incremental upgrade; not as impressive as it seems on paper. The Nord 4 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, which is quite powerful but highly underrated. The Nord 5 gets an ever reliable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which if anything, is a higher clocked version of the 7+ Gen 3. Mind you, it is a perfectly capable chip and more powerful than the one in the Nord 4 but don't expect the performance jump to be massive. And that's got more to do with how good the 7+ Gen 3 is. You get 8 GB or 12 GB RAM options here with either 256 GB or 512 GB storage. For some inexplicable reason, OnePlus has opted for the slower UFS 3.1 storage in the Nord 5 when its predecessor had UFS 4.0 a year ago. We have asked OnePlus to clarify this and we will let you know in the final review once we have an answer. We will also talk about the camera performance and benchmark scores in our in-depth review. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD OnePlus Nord 5 series pricing in India The OnePlus Nord 5 is priced at Rs 31,999 for its 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage variant, Rs 34,999 for 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and Rs 37,999 for 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. It will be available for purchase in India starting 9th July 2025. The OnePlus Nord CE5 is priced at Rs 24,999 for its 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant, Rs 26,999 for 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and Rs 28,999 for 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. It will be available for purchase in India starting 12th July 2025. Further discounts and launch offers will be available on both phones.

OnePlus is preparing to unveil a wave of new products at its Summer Launch Event scheduled for July 8. While the spotlight may be on the much-anticipated Nord 5, another device in the lineup is already making waves through leaks — the OnePlus Nord CE 5. Poised to follow in the footsteps of the Nord CE 4, the upcoming smartphone is shaping up to be a compelling mid-range option, particularly for users focused on performance and battery life. While the company has kept its cards closed so far, the rumours and leaks paints a good enough picture of what is coming. Let's take a look. advertisementOnePlus Nord CE 5: What to expect Display and Design: On the front, the Nord CE 5 is rumoured to feature a 6.77-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth visuals and vibrant colours — perfect for binge-watching and gaming on the go. In terms of design, don't expect a radical overhaul. Much like its predecessor, the phone is expected to retain a vertical camera layout and the familiar OnePlus branding on the rear. However, we might see new colour variants introduced to freshen up the One of the standout features of the Nord CE 5 — if early leaks are to be believed — is its colossal 7,100mAh battery. This would make it one of the largest batteries in any OnePlus device to date, promising exceptional battery life for power users. And with support for 80W fast charging, topping up such a massive cell shouldn't be a painfully long process Processor and Camera: Under the hood, the device is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset. This same processor was seen recently in the Infinix GT 30 Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, and should offer reliable mid-range performance suitable for everyday multitasking and casual photography enthusiasts, the Nord CE 5 is tipped to feature a dual rear camera system, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Meanwhile, a 16-megapixel front camera is expected to handle selfies and video The phone is also said to include an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance — offering some protection against the elements, though not suited for heavy rain or full submersion. This should be enough to guard against the occasional spill or drizzle, keeping in line with other devices in the mid-tier Nord CE 5: Expected price While OnePlus has remained tight-lipped about pricing, we can look at its predecessor, the Nord CE 4, for a reasonable estimate. That model debuted in India starting at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage version, with the higher 256GB variant priced at Rs 26,999. The Nord CE 5 is expected to follow suit, likely launching in the Rs 25,000 price range. - Ends

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. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) 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.

OnePlus' next Nord series smartphone is just around the corner
OnePlus is expected to launch a new mid-range smartphone in the coming weeks. The so-called Nord CE5 was originally tipped to arrive in May, but a more recent report claims the phone won't arrive until way, OnePlus Nord CE5 has been recently spotted on the BIS certification website, so it's safe to say that the device exists, and its launch is just around the corner. Even if it won't be released this month, a launch in June is just as Nord CE5 looks like a pretty solid mid-range phone on paper. Leaked about two weeks ago, the phone's full specs sheet includes a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB internal storage. OnePlus Nord CE5 | Image credit: SmartPrix Thanks to a previous leak, we also know what the phone looks like, at least the back side of the phone. Visible in the picture leaked is the dual-camera system that consists of a 50-megapixel main snapper and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The former features a 1/1.95-inch Sony LYT-600 sensor, while the latter uses Sony's 1/4-inch IMX355 sensor with f/2.2 aperture. Although we don't have a picture of the phone's front side, rumor has it that Nord CE5 packs a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for importantly, the phone comes with a 6.7-inch flat OLED display with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Another selling point of the Nord CE5 could be the massive 7,100 mAh battery that features support for 80W wired charging. OnePlus Nord CE 5 ( CPH2717 ) has listed on BIS CertificationLaunch ~ June in IndiaGets : Dimensity 8350 FHD+ 120Hz flat oled 50MP OIS + 8 UW 16MP 7100mAh80W IR , In-display FS, Hybrid slot Single speaker — Debayan Roy (Gadgetsdata) (@Gadgetsdata) May 2, 2025 Other highlights of the OnePlus Nord CE5 include IR (infrared blaster), dual SIM (hybrid slot), single speaker, and in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone is probably going to feature some sort of dust and water protection, especially considering that the predecessor is IP54-certfied. The biggest improvement over the OnePlus Nord CE4 is definitely the 7,100 mAh battery. In comparison, the Nord CE4 has a 5,500 mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging speeds. The Dimensity 8350 chipset is also something that will set it apart from the Nord CE4, which is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. The only thing that remains to be seen is how much it will cost, but rumor has it that it won't be more expensive than the OnePlus Nord CE4 (Rs 21,500 / $255 / €225), or not by much.
