OnePlus Nord 5: The next two phones in OnePlus' hit Nord series — the Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 — are coming soon. Both the handsets are expected to go on sale in India on July 8, and Amazon has been confirmed to host the launch. The Nord 5 teaser page is already up, providing us with a glimpse of its design, colour, and specifications, whereas information regarding the Nord CE 5 is scarce.
Nord 5: Durable Hardware and Flagship-Level Camera
Multiple specifications for the Nord 5 have officially been confirmed by OnePlus, beginning with the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset that will deliver class-leading performance in its category. The device will also have a 7,300 mm² vapour chamber for enhanced cooling and 144 fps gaming support, meaning it's designed for gamers too.

Camera-wise, the Nord 5 will offer a dual rear camera setup housed in a pill-shaped module, accompanied by a flash. The primary sensor is a 50MP Sony LYT-700 with OIS, and there’s also a 50MP JN5 front camera, which should appeal to selfie lovers.
Leaked specifications indicate the Nord 5 could feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal storage, and a 6,700 mAh battery.
Nord CE 5: Understated Teasers, Reliable Mid-Range Package
While OnePlus hasn't shown as much of the Nord CE 5, a teaser indicates that the phone will also have a pill-shaped rear camera module, but its flash remains outside the camera housing — a minor design modification that differentiates it.
Rumour suggests a 6.77-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dimensity 9400e chipset, and a 7,100 mAh battery. It may also launch the new Plus Key shortcut feature. In terms of cameras, it's said to feature a 50 MPP main sensor with OIS and an 8 MPP ultra-wide lens.
Colour Options Teased
The Nord 5 will come in an Icy Blue variant, while the Nord CE 5 was seen in a Marble White colour. Other colours have not been introduced yet.
Expected Pricing
Both the phones are expected to be targeting the mid-range segment. OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to be placed around Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000, and the Nord CE 5 should cost around Rs. 25,000, thus being a good value-for-money proposition for those who care about prices.
