OnePlus Nord 5 series India launch confirmed, first look and processor details revealed
OnePlus Nord 5 series is launching soon in India. Use of the word 'series' suggests multiple phones are in the offing, but it isn't immediately clear if OnePlus plans to launch them together or at different times. Regardless of the potential timeline(s), OnePlus has confirmed its next phone launch in India will be the highly anticipated Nord 5. The announcement, which was made through social media, carries with it the first look – a sneak peek rather – of the upcoming series alongside revealing a crucial hardware detail.advertisementOnePlus Nord 5 series first look, chipset information revealedThe Nord 5 teaser shows off a device that looks remarkably like the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra. This corroborates online reports that the Nord 5 will be a rebranded Ace 5 Ultra. What adds more credence to these reports is the choice of underlying chip. While the Ace 5 Ultra has the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus, the Nord 5 is confirmed by OnePlus to have an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. If leaks are anything to go by, this could be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. We advise that you take this piece of information with a pinch of salt.If the Nord 5 does end up getting the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, it would mark a sizeable upgrade over the OnePlus Nord 4's Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3. Design-wise, too, we're looking at a major overhaul with the Nord 5 swapping the Nord 4's dual-tone scheme with a single colour. The camera array is also stacked vertically on the Nord 5 as opposed to the Nord 4 where it was horizontally aligned. There are two cameras as before, though it would be interesting to see if the Nord 5 has new sensors and lenses or does a carry-over.

OnePlus made a huge splash when it launched the Nord 4, primarily because it brought a brand-new all-metal unibody design to the mid-range phone segment in years. With the Nord 5 series, it seems that it is going back to its roots of drawing hardware design (and possibly, a few specs) from an existing Ace sold in China.OnePlus Nord 5 series launch timelineToday OnePlus is only confirming the phone series in question – OnePlus Nord 5 series – without revealing the exact date of launch or even a tentative timeline. Speculation is rife that the Nord 5 will launch in early July. Since OnePlus is saying it's a series, we can expect other devices, chiefly the OnePlus Nord CE 5 and, perhaps, even the OnePlus Nord CE 5 Lite going by the recent history of these phones.The OnePlus Nord 5 series is coming hot on the heels of the OnePlus 13s, a OnePlus 13 series phone that is generating lot of buzz for nailing the compact flagship phone essentials on OnePlus's maiden venture.
