The OnePlus Nord 5 continues the brand’s tradition of delivering strong performance at an affordable price. Launched alongside the Nord CE 5 in India, this mid-range smartphone offers a flagship-level Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, a large 6,800mAh battery, and a 50MP main camera, all under ₹35,000. Its new matte-gloss finish gives it a sleek, premium look, with colour options like Marble Sands, Phantom Grey, and Dry Ice.
Available in three variants, prices start at ₹31,999 for 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, going up to ₹37,999 for 12GB RAM + 512GB. The device sports a large 6.83-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and 1,800 nits brightness, making content sharp and fluid. The shift to a plastic back over metal is noticeable but doesn’t hamper usability.
Camera performance is impressive, featuring a 50MP Sony sensor with OIS and a 50MP front camera, delivering reliable results in both daylight and low-light conditions. The phone excels in daily performance and gaming without overheating. Powered by OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, and backed by 80W fast charging, the Nord 5 is a well-rounded, value-packed option for mid-range buyers.
