OnePlus Nord 5 could be the midrange successor to the OnePlus Nord 4, which was launched last July. The handset has started making the rounds on the rumour mill. In the latest development, reliable tipsters Debayan Roy and Abhishek Yadav have revealed details about the OnePlus Nord 5’s India price range and specifications. It appears the smartphone will launch with a price tag similar to its predecessor. In terms of specifications, the device is believed to be a rebranded version of a OnePlus Ace 5-series smartphone.
Here, have a look at everything we know about the upcoming OnePlus Nord 5:
OnePlus Nord 5 India price (rumour)
- As per tipster Debayan Roy, the OnePlus Nord 5 will come around Rs 30,000 in India. The starting price of Nord 4 was Rs 29,999.
- Similar to the predecessor, we suppose the OnePlus Nord 5 will be available via Amazon and the OnePlus website.
OnePlus Nord 4 was a rebadged OnePlus Ace 3V, and so, could Nord 5 be a rebranded Ace 5V? Well, it’s too early to tell.
So far, the tipster has shared the following specs:
OnePlus Nord 5 specifications (rumour)
- Processor: The Nord 5 could be running on a MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, as per Mr Roy and another tipster, Abhishek Yadav. The Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station had said a couple of days back that the new Ace 5 series phone will pack this chip. Dimensity 9400e will be a binned variant of the Dimensity 9400 chipset, and is expected to be released this month. DCS adds that the 9400e could be more powerful than the Dimensity 9300+ and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC. That would make it more powerful than the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC inside the OnePlus Nord 4 (review).
- Display: On the front of the phone, you could get a flat AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Underneath the display, there could be a fingerprint scanner.
- Battery: The phone could have around a 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support.
- Cameras: On the back of the phone, you could get a 50MP primary camera with OIS support. This could be accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide snapper. For selfies, you could get a 16MP shooter.
- Miscellaneous: The phone could have a glass back and a plastic frame. Among other things, you could also get an IR scanner and a dual speaker setup.
Should you wait for the OnePlus Nord 5?
If the leaks are accurate, the OnePlus Nord 5 could offer major upgrades in performance and battery life over its predecessor. With a MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset and a 7,000mAh battery, it may compete with phones in the sub-Rs 35,000 category. However, potential buyers may want to wait for official confirmation or further leaks in the coming weeks.
