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. Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i and rated IP65 for water and dust resistance, the Nord 5 is built to last.
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. Battery life is equally impressive, with a 6800mAh unit in the Indian variant and 5200mAh globally, both supporting 80W fast charging and bypass mode for cooler, longer gaming sessions. The Battery Health Engine ensures four years of optimal performance, making it a reliable long-term investment.
Running OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, the Nord 5 integrates Google Gemini and OnePlus AI features like VoiceScribe, Call Assistant, and AI Search. Productivity is enhanced with Open Canvas multitasking, floating windows, and drag-and-drop sharing. With four years of OS updates and six years of security patches, the Nord 5 offers longevity and peace of mind.
