Oneplus Nord 5 5G 6.83'' 12GB RAM 512GB ROM Android 15 Dual SIM - Phantom Grey

The OnePlus Nord 5 offers a handful of new upgrades and a completely revamped design, more aligned with the current design trends but still crafted tastefully.

In fact, the new Nord 5 has an iPhone-esque vibe. Okay, maybe not in the sense of the iPhone Pros, but the vanilla iPhone. More importantly, OnePlus didn't go crazy with the camera island, unlike most smartphone makers.

This year's Nord also really packs a punch. It's the first in the Nord family to feature a Snapdragon 8 series chipset. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is quite powerful and offers near-flagship-level GPU performance on a budget.

OnePlus has fitted the Nord 5 with a matching display, making it the first OnePlus to offer a 144Hz display. But it's not only faster but also bigger, too, measuring 6.83" in diagonal. As for battery capacity, the Indian market will enjoy the top capacity of 6,800mAh.

Another novelty is the new Plus Key replaces the good old Alert Slider, kinda like Apple replaced it with an Action key on the iPhone. The Plus Key still functions as a switch between different sound profiles by default, but you can also you can assign other actions to it, such as taking a screenshot, translating text, recording audio, launching the camera, activating the flashlight, or summoning the AI Plus Mind tool.

The camera system has also received some love this year, with the Nord bringing a significant upgrade in the selfie department. It's now wider and supposedly sharper thanks to a bigger 50MP sensor.
