OnePlus Nord 5 Launch on 8 July Flagship Phone Under ₹35000 With Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 The OnePlus Nord 5 is set to make waves in the smartphone market with its flagship-level performance, high-quality camera systems, and stylish AMOLED display. It is expected to launch on July 8, 2025, at 2 PM IST. The OnePlus Nord 5 will feature the powerful Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 chipset, an ultra-fast 144 Hz refresh rate, and top-notch battery lifeall at an affordable price.

Design and Build Qual­i­ty

The One­Plus Nord 5 stands out right away with its space­craft-inspired design and sleek glass con­struc­tion. The rumored com­bi­na­tion of Corn­ing Goril­la Glass on both the front and back along with a stur­dy plas­tic frame, achieves a nice mix of style and dura­bil­i­ty. Weigh­ing in at around 190 g its exact weight is not con­firmed the One­Plus Nord 5 feels sol­id yet com­fort­able to hold, thanks to its gen­tly curved edges and 6.83-inch size.

Offered in Blue, White, and Gray, the One­Plus Nord 5 meets IP65 stan­dards for dust and low-pres­sure water resis­tance, which is impres­sive for a mid-range phone. Its min­i­mal bezel design max­i­mizes screen space, while the under-dis­play opti­cal fin­ger­print sen­sor allows for quick and secure unlock­ing. With dual Nano-SIM sup­port and an infrared port, the One­Plus Nord 5 com­bines style with every­day usabil­i­ty.

Vibrant 144 Hz AMOLED Dis­play

The One­Plus Nord 5 fea­tures a stun­ning 6.83-inch AMOLED screen that can show 1 bil­lion col­ors and is HDR10+ cer­ti­fied. Its 144 Hz refresh rate guar­an­tees smooth scrolling, flu­id ani­ma­tions, and an excel­lent gam­ing expe­ri­ence. The 3840 Hz PWM dim­ming ensures flick­er-free visu­als, reduc­ing eye strain in low-light sit­u­a­tions.

With a res­o­lu­tion of 1260 x 2800 pix­els and a pix­el den­si­ty of around 450 ppi, text and media look sharp and col­or­ful. Although peak bright­ness lev­els are not offi­cial­ly announced, they are expect­ed to match or exceed those of its com­peti­tors, ensur­ing good vis­i­bil­i­ty out­doors. Sup­port for Ultra HDR images fur­ther enhances the view­ing expe­ri­ence, pro­vid­ing deep­er blacks and brighter high­lights.

Pow­er­house Per­for­mance

The One­Plus Nord 5 will be pow­ered by the strong Qual­comm® Snap­drag­on™ 8s Gen 3 (4 nm) chipset. It fea­tures an octa-core CPU with a 3.0 GHz Cor­tex-X4 core, four 2.8 GHz Cor­tex-A720 cores, and three 2.0 GHz Cor­tex-A520 effi­cien­cy cores. The Adreno 735 GPU han­dles graph­ics, promis­ing high frame rates and smooth ren­der­ing in demand­ing games like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile.

One­Plus offers sev­er­al mem­o­ry con­fig­u­ra­tions to fit dif­fer­ent needs:

• 8GB RAM + 128GB UFS 3.1 stor­age
• 8GB RAM + 256GB UFS 4.0 stor­age
• 12GB RAM + 256GB UFS 4.0 stor­age
• 16GB RAM + 512GB UFS 4.0 stor­age

The inclu­sion of UFS 4.0 in most mod­els allows for fast read and write speeds, enabling quick­er app launch­es and faster file trans­fers. No mat­ter the con­fig­u­ra­tion, the One­Plus Nord 5 is built to han­dle heavy mul­ti­task­ing and future soft­ware updates smooth­ly, with a promise of four major Android upgrades.

Cam­era Sys­tem: Born for the Night

The One­Plus Nord 5 enhances mid-range pho­tog­ra­phy with a dual rear cam­era sys­tem that includes a 50 MP Sony LYT-700 main sen­sor (f/1.8 aper­ture, 1/1.56″ sen­sor size, 1.0 µm pix­el size, PDAF, and OIS) paired with an 8 MP ultra­w­ide lens (116° field of view, f/2.2 aper­ture). This com­bi­na­tion of a large sen­sor and opti­cal image sta­bi­liza­tion boosts low-light per­for­mance, pro­duc­ing clear, noise-free images even after dark.

On the front, it fea­tures a flag­ship-lev­el 50 MP JN5 self­ie cam­era (f/2.0 aper­ture, 1/2.76″ sen­sor, 0.64 µm pix­els) with hard­ware aut­o­fo­cus and gyro-EIS for sta­ble high-res­o­lu­tion video record­ing. Both the front and rear cam­eras sup­port 4K video cap­ture at up to 60 fps, as well as 1080p record­ings at var­i­ous frame rates, ide­al for vlog­ging and social media cre­ation.

Built-in cam­era fea­tures include dual-LED flash, HDR pro­cess­ing, panora­ma mode, and sev­er­al nightscape enhance­ments. From por­traits to group self­ies and wide land­scapes, the cam­era sys­tem of the One­Plus Nord 5 is designed to meet the needs of mod­ern con­tent cre­ators.

Endur­ing Bat­tery and Rapid Charg­ing

Bat­tery life is a key fea­ture of the One­Plus Nord 5’s appeal. The Indi­an vari­ant includes a large 6600 mAh bat­tery, while the glob­al ver­sion offers a still-impres­sive 5200 mAh capac­i­ty. One­Plus claims both ver­sions pro­vide mul­ti-day bat­tery life under typ­i­cal usage, aid­ed by soft­ware opti­miza­tions in OxygenOS 15.

When it’s time to recharge, the One­Plus Nord 5 sup­ports 80 W wired Super­VOOC charg­ing with PPS capa­bil­i­ty, allow­ing it to go from 0% to 60% in about 20 min­utes. Adap­tive charg­ing pro­to­cols help extend bat­tery life, while Pow­er Deliv­ery sup­port via USB Type‑C enables wider acces­so­ry com­pat­i­bil­i­ty. Although this mod­el does not sup­port wire­less charg­ing, the fast wired speeds should meet most users’ needs.

OxygenOS 15 and Soft­ware Fea­tures

The One­Plus Nord 5 comes with Android 15 right out of the box, cus­tomized by OxygenOS 15. The lat­est ver­sion of OxygenOS sim­pli­fies the user inter­face with min­i­mal­ist icons, bet­ter dark mode options, and improved ges­ture nav­i­ga­tion. One­Plus promis­es up to four major OS updates and five years of secu­ri­ty updates, ensur­ing ongo­ing sup­port.

Key soft­ware fea­tures include:

• Hyper Gam­ing Engine: Game-spe­cif­ic opti­miza­tions for BGMI and CODM pro­vid­ing con­sis­tent 144 fps per­for­mance with­out over­heat­ing.
• Smart Dis­play: Enhanced ambi­ent dis­play with con­tex­tu­al info and dynam­ic wall­pa­pers.
• Shelf 2.0: Redesigned home-screen hub for quick access to wid­gets, app short­cuts, and per­son­al notes.
• Zen Mode 2.0: Upgrad­ed focus mode that allows friends to join for group dig­i­tal detox ses­sions.
• Can­vas AOD: Artis­tic lockscreen per­son­al­iza­tion based on your pho­tos.

These fea­tures make the One­Plus Nord 5 both pow­er­ful and user-friend­ly for dai­ly tasks.

Next-Gen Con­nec­tiv­i­ty

Con­nec­tiv­i­ty on the One­Plus Nord 5 includes all the expect­ed stan­dards for a mod­ern smart­phone. Sup­port­ed net­works are GSM, HSPA, LTE, and 5G across a wide range of bands. Addi­tion­al con­nec­tiv­i­ty options include:

• Wi-Fi 6: Dual-band sup­port with up to 4x4 MIMO
• Blue­tooth 5.4: A2DP, LE, aptX HD, LHDC
• NFC: For secure pay­ments and fast data trans­fer
• Infrared Port: Capa­ble of con­trol­ling oth­er devices
• GPS/GALILEO/GLONASS/BDS/QZSS: Mul­ti­ple satel­lite posi­tion­ing for pre­cise nav­i­ga­tion

USB Type‑C 2.0 enables wired data trans­fer and charg­ing, while the lack of a 3.5 mm head­phone jack is bal­anced by sol­id Blue­tooth audio options and stereo speak­ers designed for clar­i­ty and bass.

Advanced Cool­ing Tech­nol­o­gy

Ther­mal man­age­ment is often over­looked in mid-range devices, but the One­Plus Nord 5 fea­tures the largest vapor cham­ber cool­ing sys­tem in its cat­e­go­ry. One­Plus claims this set­up can reduce inter­nal tem­per­a­tures by up to 4.3 °C com­pared to its pre­de­ces­sor dur­ing demand­ing game­play at 60 fps. This main­tains per­for­mance dur­ing long gam­ing ses­sions.

Smart heat dis­si­pa­tion algo­rithms work with the Hyper Gam­ing Engine to pri­or­i­tize frame sta­bil­i­ty and lim­it ther­mal throt­tling, allow­ing users to play BGMI or Call of Duty Mobile for up to five hours on a sin­gle charge.

Price, Avail­abil­i­ty, and Ver­dict

One­Plus has set a teas­er for July 8, 2025 at 2 PM IST for the announce­ment and pre-order of the Nord 5. Pric­ing details are still under wraps, but giv­en OnePlus’s his­to­ry and the Nord 5’s top-notch specs, we expect a start­ing price in the ₹30,000–₹35,000 range in India, with pric­ing adjust­ed for glob­al mar­kets.
