OnePlus Nord 5 First Impressions and Design
OnePlus Nord 5 is the China version of the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, which is China-bound. The phone will be rebranded as Nord 5 in India. Design-wise, the phone features a sleek and simple design with a dual rear camera configuration in a vertical placement. It has a glass back and plastic frame, a downgrade from the metal frame of its predecessors. However, in-hand quality is still predicted to be premium.
The phone will also have IP65 dust and water resistance, providing simple protection for everyday use.
Display Features
The OnePlus Nord 5 will boast a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution, providing stunning visuals and precise colors. The display will have 10-bit color depth, HDR10+, and be completely optimized for streaming services such as Netflix with embedded HDR support.
1. Refresh Rate: 120Hz for extremely smooth scrolling
2. Peak Brightness: Up to 5000 nits
3. Screen-to-body ratio: About 93%
4. Bezel size: Extremely thin for panoramic viewing
This renders the Nord 5 an excellent option for content viewing and mobile gaming.
Performance and Software
Internally, the OnePlus Nord 5 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400E chipset, a top-of-the-line processor that directly competes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. It provides substantial performance gains, making it a perfect fit for multitasking, gaming, and productivity.
1. RAM: LPDDR5X
2. Storage: UFS 4.0

2. 8MP ultra-wide sensor
3. Video: 4K recording at 60fps supported via rear camera
