OnePlus Nord 5 overview

OnePlus Nord 5 is a mid-range powerhouse that blends flagship-grade performance with intelligent software and a sleek design. At its core is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, delivering ultra-fast multitasking, smooth gaming at up to 144 FPS, and efficient thermal management thanks to its Cryo-Velocity VC cooling system. The 6.83-inch Swift AMOLED display offers a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of 1800 nits, making it ideal for immersive viewing and responsive touch, even with wet fingers, thanks to Aqua Touch 2.0.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the dual 50MP cameras on both the front and rear, capable of capturing 4K video at 60fps with optical image stabilization and Ultra HDR. AI-powered tools like Perfect Shot, Reflection Remover, and AI Eraser elevate mobile photography to professional levels.
