To bring high-end specifications and the trust of OnePlus to the mid-range, the company launched its ‘Nord’ series. The first OnePlus Nord phone came in July 2020, which was well-liked. Now after five years, OnePlus Nord 5 is going to enter in 2025.
Although the company has kept this phone behind the scenes for now, but by collating various leaks and reports, we have now brought you an overview of the upcoming OnePlus 5G phone. By reading this, you will be able to guess what OnePlus Nord 5 will be like.
OnePlus Nord 5 Launch Timeline
OnePlus started this year with OnePlus 13 in the global market. Now after half of 2025 has passed, the company is planning to bring OnePlus Nord 5. This mobile can be introduced as soon as the second half of this year begins. That is, OnePlus Nord 5 can be launched in July.
Now it will be interesting to see in which country OnePlus will launch its new Nord phone first. Will India become the primary market for this phone or do we have to wait a little longer for the Nord 5.
OnePlus Nord 5 Design
OnePlus is expected to remove its signature alert slider on the Nord 5 and introduce a new customisable “plus key” for quick actions. The phone is also said to include an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure unlocking.
OnePlus Nord 5 Specifications (Expected)
Display
The OnePlus Nord 5 could be launched with a big 6.77-inch screen . It will be a punch-hole style display that could get FullHD+ resolution. The company can use LTPO AMOLED panel in this phone.
It is expected that it will be a flat display that can support around 3000 nits brightness with 120Hz refresh rate. OnePlus Nord 5 will also get an in-display fingerprint sensor with which a protection layer of Corning Glass can be given.
Performance
OnePlus Nord 5 will launch on Android 15 with which the latest OxygenOS 15 can be given. We estimate that OnePlus will bring its new phone with MediaTek processor in the global market. This could be the company’s new Dimensity 9400E chipset. Let us tell you that this 8-core CPU includes Cortex-A720 core with 2GHz clock speed to Cortex-X4 core running at speeds up to 3.4GHz.
Let us tell you that last month realme GT 7 was launched on the same processor, which has achieved 21,25,733 AnTuTu benchmark score in the testing of 91mobiles.
Memory
OnePlus company will bring its new phone at a reasonable price, but to show its strength in front of the competitors, it can also launch OnePlus Nord 5 5G phone on 16GB RAM. The base variant of the phone can be given 128GB storage with 8GB RAM.
The top variant can be launched on 16GB RAM + 512GB storage. Expandable RAM technology will also be available in this mobile, which will increase its virtual RAM power along with physical RAM. Whether the phone will have a microSD card slot or not is still doubtful.
Camera
OnePlus Nord 5 5G can be launched in the market equipped with a triple rear camera setup for photography. This device is expected to have Sony LYT main sensor, which is specialized in mobile photography, which can be 50 megapixels. It will be equipped with OIS technology. Along with this, ultra wide lens and telephoto sensor can also be found in the smartphone.
The power of both these sensors can be kept 8 megapixels and 2 megapixels respectively. At the same time, a 16-megapixel front camera can be given in the upcoming OnePlus 5G phone for selfie and video calling.
Battery
OnePlus Nord 5 will also be strong in terms of power backup. Various rumors are going on in the markets regarding the battery of the phone. A leak claims that this mobile will be launched with a 7,000mAh battery. But on the other hand, the alleged OnePlus phone with model number CPH2079 has been certified with a 6,650mAh battery on TUV Rheinland certification.
In such a situation, giving more importance to the certification site, we are assuming that the OnePlus Nord 5 can be launched in the market with a 6,650mAh battery. Similarly, there are also leaks of 100W and 80W fast charging in this phone, but our guess is that this mobile can be brought with 80W fast charging technology.
OnePlus Nord 5 Price in India (Expected)
If OnePlus sticks to its mid-range strategy, the Nord 5 can be priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000, making it a solid option for those who want flagship-like specs at an affordable price.
