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.
