According to Yogesh Brar, the OnePlus Nord 5 series is expected to launch globally on July 8, with India also launching on the same date, as the Nord 4 did previously. No official announcement or teaser has been made before about the same by OnePlus.

Camera specifications are expected to include a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front-facing camera.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord CE 5, recently spotted on the BIS certification site, is confirmed for India. It is expected to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED flat display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset, a shift from the Nord CE 4’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

The camera setup is tipped to include a 50MP Sony LYT600/IMX882 main sensor, an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP selfie camera, replacing the Nord CE 4’s 2MP depth sensor with an ultra-wide option. Additionally, the Nord CE 5 is rumoured to house a 7,100mAh battery with 80W fast charging, marking a notable battery upgrade even though charging speeds might slightly decrease from the previous 100W to 80W.
