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 .
