OnePlus Nord 5, Nord CE5 & Buds 4 are Coming to India on July 8 – Here’s Why It Matters

OnePlus is shaking up the Indian tech landscape again—with not one but three exciting new products headed our way. Mark your calendar for July 8, 2025 at 2 PM IST, when the company will unveil the Nord 5, Nord CE5, and Buds 4earbuds .

1. Nord 5: Flagship Power in a Mid‑Range Device

New Snapdragon 8‑Series Chipset

For the first time in the Nord lineup, OnePlus is introducing a flagship-grade Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor—no less than the powerhouse behind many high-end phones—promising notably superior performance  .

Performance + Cooling = Smooth Experience

Paired with LPDDR5X RAM and an advanced CryoFlex liquid cooling system covering 7,300 mm², the Nord 5 is designed to stay cool under heavy load – whether it’s marathon gaming or multitasking  .

Camera with a Punch

Dubbed a “double‑punch,” the Nord 5 boasts a high-end camera system (50 MP main + ultra‑wide sensor) and a 16 MP front shooter. Ideal for content creators craving quality combined with speed  .

Immersive Display, Long Battery Life

Expect a likely 1.5K OLED display at 120Hz, a massive 7,000 mAh battery, and blazing fast 100W charging—making this a well-rounded daily driver  .

2. Nord CE5: Mid-Range Made Meaningful

Elegant, Faster, Budget-Friendly

The Nord CE5, with its “Marble Mist” finish, is set to deliver strong mid-range performance in India. Early data hints at a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip with 8 GB RAM, lift­ing user experience without stretching the budget  .

Battery and Display for All-Day Use

Specs suggest a 6.7” OLED at 120Hz, massive 7,100 mAh battery, and 80W fast charging—features usually seen in pricier phones  .

Premium-feel Controls

Both Nord models ditch the traditional Alert Slider and adopt the new customizable Plus Key, offering fast-access functionality likely tied to AI‑Plus Mind features  .

3. Buds 4: Studio‑Quality Sound on the Go

Audiophile Features at a Mid‑Range Price

The new Earbuds 4 aren’t just run‑of‑the‑mill wireless headphones. They offer dual drivers, dual DACs, Hi‑Res LHDC 5.0, and rich 3D Audio—even with ultra‑low latency of 47 ms in Game Mode  .

Stylish and Colorful

Available in two fresh shades—Zen Green and Storm Gray—these earbuds continue OnePlus’s strong design DNA for personal flair  .

4. Why This Trio is a Big Deal for India

Bridging the Gap

OnePlus remains true to its Nord philosophy—bringing flagship-grade features to a mid-price segment. The mid-range Indian market will get a real taste of Snapdragon 8 performance at suddenly affordable prices  .

Community First

OnePlus’s marketing head Celina Shi emphasises a vision: the Nord series is “bolder in colour and style,” balancing performance and accessibility to let users express identity through tech  .

A Broader Ecosystem

This launch aligns with OnePlus’s ambition to be more than just phones. With tablets, wearables, and earbuds in its portfolio, the company is targeting a cohesive “Android builder” ecosystem  .

What We Still Need to Know

  • Exact pricing in rupees

  • Storage configurations

  • Indian availability and launch offers

  • Nord 5 camera specs—sensor model, stabilization, video modes

  • Software experience—expected updates to Android 15 with OxygenOS 15

The Nord Launch Shakes Things Up

The Nord 5 could redefine mid-range expectations with flagship-level performance, massive battery, fast charging, and liquid cooling. The Nord CE5 offers a smart balance of essentials with standout features. And Buds 4 challenge entry to premium audio without the premium tag.

All three promise OnePlus’s signature “fast & smooth” experience. For Indian consumers, it’s a chance to own hardware that punches upward—without the flagship price tag.
