OnePlus Nord CE 5 to Launch on July 8: Expected Specs, Price, and All You Need to Know

OnePlus is gearing up for a major reveal at its Summer Launch Event on July 8, where it will unveil the much-anticipated Nord 5. Alongside it, the company is also expected to introduce the OnePlus Nord CE 5 — a device that’s already gaining attention through leaks and rumors. Building on the success of the Nord CE 4, the upcoming smartphone looks set to offer solid performance, a massive battery, and a familiar OnePlus design in the mid-range segment.

What to Expect from the OnePlus Nord CE 5

The Nord CE 5 is rumored to feature a 6.77-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, promising smooth scrolling and vibrant visuals ideal for media consumption and gaming. Design-wise, the device is expected to stick with the clean, minimal look of its predecessor, complete with a vertical camera layout and the recognizable OnePlus branding. New color options could also be introduced to add a fresh twist.

One of the most talked-about aspects of the Nord CE 5 is its massive 7,100mAh battery — the largest ever in a OnePlus device if confirmed. This powerhouse battery should easily support a full day’s usage and more. With 80W fast charging support, the phone aims to balance battery size with charging speed, making it convenient for users on the move.

Under the hood, the device is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset. The processor, seen recently in devices like the Infinix GT 30 Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, is expected to deliver efficient mid-range performance, making the phone suitable for multitasking, streaming, and casual gaming.

On the camera front, the Nord CE 5 is tipped to feature a dual rear setup with a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. A 16MP front-facing camera is expected for selfies and video calls. While the setup isn't groundbreaking, it should offer reliable imaging performance for everyday use.

Durability-wise, the Nord CE 5 is said to come with an IP54 rating, offering protection against dust and light splashes. While it won’t survive a dip in water, the rating is adequate for everyday mishaps like drizzles or spills.

Expected Price in India

Though official pricing is yet to be announced, estimates suggest the Nord CE 5 will fall within the ₹25,000 range. The Nord CE 4 launched at ₹24,999 for the base variant (8GB + 128GB), with the higher 256GB version priced at ₹26,999. Given this precedent, the Nord CE 5 is expected to launch at a similar price point.

With its combination of a large battery, fast charging, vibrant display, and reliable performance, the OnePlus Nord CE 5 is shaping up to be a strong contender in India’s mid-range smartphone market. All eyes are now on July 8 for the official launch.
