June 11, 2025

The upcoming OnePlus Nord CE5 is shaping up to be a notable upgrade over its predecessor, the Nord CE4. The Nord CE5 was expected to launch early in May, but now a new leak reveals, the Nord CE4 will be launched alongside the Nord 5. This article will discuss everything we know so far about the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE5, including its rumors, availability and expected pricing.

OnePlus Nord CE5 Rumors

Larger Battery

One of the biggest changes is the battery. The Nord CE5 will reportedly pack a huge 7,100 mAh battery, a significant jump from the 5,500 mAh cell in the CE4. However, it appears that the fast charging speed is being slightly downgraded, with support for 80W wired charging instead of the 100W seen in the CE4.

Performance

The phone will also feature a change in its processor. OnePlus appears to be shifting from Qualcomm to MediaTek for this model, using the Dimensity 8350 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 that powered the CE4. This change might influence both performance and efficiency, though real-world results remain to be seen.

Display and Cameras

The display remains a 6.7-inch flat OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, much like the CE4’s AMOLED screen. In terms of cameras, the setup seems largely unchanged. The CE5 will use the same 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 sensor as the main camera, paired with an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 ultrawide lens. The selfie camera stays at 16 megapixels, indicating that photography may see little to no upgrade.

Memory and Extras

Other details revealed include 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The phone will also offer a hybrid SIM slot and come with a single speaker. There’s no word yet on build materials or design, but it’s likely to maintain the plastic frame and glass back seen in earlier Nord models.

OnePlus Nord CE5 Launch and Price

The Nord CE5 is set to launch on July 8, with pricing likely to be in the same range as the CE4. The CE5 is launching alongside the Nord 5 and Buds 4.
