Today, OnePlus unveiled a formidable lineup of five new products across its smartphone, wearable, tablet, and audio categories, signalling a significant leap in its commitment to delivering premium experiences across all price segments. This launch introduces highly anticipated additions to the OnePlus Nord series, including the OnePlus Nord 5 and the OnePlus Nord CE5, alongside the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm, the OnePlus Pad Lite, and the OnePlus Buds 4.

OnePlus Nord 5 & Nord CE5: Redefining Mid-Range Powerhouses

The spotlight of today’s launch shines brightly on the new Nord series smartphones. The OnePlus Nord 5 is set to be the most powerful Nord device to date, fueled by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform. This marks the first time a Snapdragon 8 series chipset has graced the Nord lineup, promising flagship-grade performance at a mid-range price. Its enhanced imaging capabilities and cutting-edge personalized OnePlus AI experience aim to offer a smarter and more enjoyable daily experience.

Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus, emphasized the series’ core philosophy: “OnePlus Nord series combines minimalist design with industry-leading flagship technology, earning the trust and love of users around the world. Driven by our Never Settle spirit, we continue to raise the bar across all price segments.”

The OnePlus Nord CE5 also delivers a notable performance boost with a flagship-quality chipset and impressive battery life, ensuring a smoother OnePlus experience while offering exceptional value.

OnePlus Nord 5: A Deeper Dive

Design That Blends Elegance with Strength: The Nord 5 maintains OnePlus Nord’s signature design of simplicity and refinement. Its 8.1mm slim profile and slightly smoothed-out edges prioritize comfort and a secure grip. The front glass is reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for superior durability. Available in Marble Sands, Dry Ice, and Phantom Grey, its unibody construction is both sleek and robust.

Redefining Mid-Range Performance: Beyond the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, the Nord 5 features a 4nm process node and the advanced Qualcomm Kryo CPU. Gamers will rejoice with the full suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, including hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing. Paired with the 144Hz Swift AMOLED display—a first for a OnePlus phone—users can expect ultra-smooth, high-refresh-rate gaming. The Cryo-Velocity VC Cooling system (7300 mm2 total area) and Trinity Engine optimization ensure consistent smooth performance, earning it a TÜV SÜD 72-Month Fluency A Rating. Powering this experience is an industry-leading 5200mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging and Bypass Charging.

144Hz Swift AMOLED Display: A Visual Experience Beyond Flagship Standards: The Nord 5’s 6.83-inch 1.5K Swift AMOLED screen boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, making it the smoothest OnePlus display yet. With a peak brightness of up to 1800 nits, Aqua Touch 2.0 for precise touch response, and 3840Hz PWM dimming, it’s designed for both performance and comfort.

Advanced AI, Smarter Than Ever: The Nord 5 features a fully upgraded OnePlus AI suite. The iconic Alert Slider evolves into the new Plus Key, offering customizable shortcuts to essential functions and serving as a shortcut for AI Plus Mind, a personal mind centre that intelligently recognises on-screen content and saves it for easy recall, even adding calendar events based on recognised content.

Google Gemini Integration: The OnePlus Nord 5 runs on Android and comes with Google Gemini preinstalled. This AI assistant from Google aims to supercharge creativity and productivity, allowing users to brainstorm ideas, simplify complex topics, and rehearse for important moments with real-time responses. Users can even share their camera or screen in Gemini Live Conversations. Eligible users can also enjoy a three-month trial of Google AI Pro, offering access to new features in the Gemini app, higher usage limits in NotebookLM, and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more.

Crystal Clear, Front and Back Camera: The Nord 5 sports a cutting-edge 50MP ISOCELL JN5 front camera sensor for sharp selfies and video clarity. On the rear, it boasts the 50MP LYT-700 main camera sensor (the same as the OnePlus 13 series), paired with advanced HDR and Natural Color algorithms. Both cameras support 4K video recording at 60fps. The popular Live Photo feature is upgraded to support Ultra HDR.

OnePlus Nord CE5: Uncompromised Value

The OnePlus Nord CE5 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex and features a large 7041 mm² VC cooling system for smooth multitasking and gaming, including demanding titles like CODM at up to 120 FPS. It features a major upgrade in battery performance with a 5200mAh battery, supporting over 1.5 days of use, and 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging with Battery Health Engine and Bypass Charging. The device also features a 6.77-inch 120Hz Super Fluid OLED display with Gaming HDR and Ultra HDR support.

Camera Supercharged by State-of-the-art AI: The 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera is powered by the flagship-level RAW HDR algorithm from the OnePlus 13, delivering detailed and balanced HDR photos. It also supports Live Photos in Ultra HDR and up to 4K 60fps HDR video recording. Running on the latest generation of OxygenOS with upgraded OnePlus AI, the Nord CE5 is rated IP65 for durability and offers expandable storage of up to 1TB via MicroSD. It’s available in Black Infinity and Marble Mist.

Expanding the Ecosystem: Wearables, Tablets, and Audio

Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer, OnePlus Europe, highlighted the expansion of the ecosystem: “We’re proud to further strengthen our fast and smooth ecosystem with a line-up that brings flagship-level innovation to more users across Europe.”
