The OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 are expected to launch soon, possibly on July 8, according to tipster Yogesh Brar. However, OnePlus has yet to confirm this, and Brar’s original post has since been deleted, so the exact date remains uncertain. Yet, leaked information suggests some significant changes for the midrange Nord model.

OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 Likely to Launch on July 8 with Dimensity Chips, 7,000mAh Batteries
The OnePlus Nord 5 is also expected to include a substantial upgrade in its display, battery, performance, and design. It may be driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e SoC that also powers the Realme GT 7, which is a competitor for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in terms of performance. If OnePlus is able to provide this chip under the ₹35,000 mark, it might redefine the standards of the gaming and performance of the segment. By way of contrast, the Nord 4 had a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, so this would be a pretty big jump.
The battery is also expected to get a massive boost. Leaks suggest the Nord 5 could feature a 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging, up from the 5,500mAh unit in the Nord 4.
This should appeal to gamers and heavy users. A 1.5K flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor is also rumored, though it’s unclear if the 6.74-inch size will be retained due to the larger battery. In terms of build, tipster Debayan Roy says the Nord 5 might have a glass back and plastic frame, offering a premium feel but not the same durability as the Nord 4’s metal body.
The camera setup may stay the same, with a 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and 16MP front sensor. The OnePlus Nord CE 5, meanwhile, could feature a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 8350, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 7,100mAh battery with 80W fast charging, and the same 50MP + 8MP + 16MP camera setup.
As for pricing, the Nord 5 is expected to be priced under ₹35,000, possibly closer to ₹30,000 with launch offers, while the Nord CE 5 could cost around ₹25,000. Exact pricing and specs should be confirmed when OnePlus officially announces the devices in the coming weeks.
