OnePlus Nord 5 First Look: Unboxing, Design, and Camera Samples from the Latest Flagship Killer

Published

on

Nord 5 series

The much-anticipated OnePlus Nord 5 and OnePlus Nord CE 5 are finally here—at least in early hands-on form. In this detailed unboxing and first impression, we dive into the box content, in-hand experience, design choices, and leaked specifications that are already making headlines. Keep in mind, all details mentioned are based on leaks and early insights, with full confirmed specs and final verdict coming on July 8 after the embargo lifts.

Unboxing Experience: What’s Inside the Box?

Both the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 share similar box designs and content. Inside each box, users get:

  • The smartphone itself

  • An 80W SUPERVOOC charger

  • USB Type-C charging cable

  • SIM ejector tool

  • Standard documentation

  • A soft case for each device (color-matched for Nord CE 5, grey for Nord 5)

The presence of fast charging right out of the box is a welcomed inclusion, especially in a time when many brands are dropping chargers from their packaging.

In-Hand Feel and Design

The OnePlus Nord 5 sports a solid, premium design with a matte glass finish. Though leaks suggest it has a metal frame, the absence of visible antenna lines makes this uncertain. It will be confirmed post-launch. Regardless of the material, the build quality feels sturdy and refined.

In contrast, the Nord CE 5 comes with a plastic back and plastic frame. Interestingly, tapping on the frame of both devices produces a similar sound, adding to the confusion about the Nord 5’s actual frame material. Nevertheless, both phones are comfortable to hold, featuring slightly curved edges that make them suitable for long-term use.

Notably, the Nord 5 includes a Plus Key on the left side—first introduced with the OnePlus 13S—while the Nord CE 5 has a traditional volume and power button setup on the right. Both devices include a bottom-firing speaker, Type-C charging port, and primary microphone. The rear cameras are vertically aligned and slightly protruding, which results in some wobble when placed on a flat surface.

Camera Setup: Leaked Specs and First Samples

According to early leaks:

  • OnePlus Nord 5 is expected to feature a 50 MP main camera with OIS and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, accompanied by a 50 MP front-facing camera capable of shooting 4K at 60fps—a feature that even the flagship OnePlus 12 lacks.

  • OnePlus Nord CE 5 may come with a 50 MP + 8 MP dual rear camera and a 16 MP selfie shooter.

Sample shots shared from both phones show promising results, especially in daylight conditions. However, final camera verdicts will depend on detailed testing after the full review embargo is lifted.

Display, Performance & Battery: Flagship Specs in a Mid-Range Device?

OnePlus Nord 5 (Leaked):

  • Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3

  • Display: 6.83-inch AMOLED panel, 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate

  • Cooling: 7,300 mm² Cryo-Velocity vapor chamber

  • Battery: 6,800 mAh

  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6

  • Gaming: 144fps support in titles like BGMI and CODM

OnePlus Nord CE 5 (Leaked):

  • Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8350

  • Display: 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate

  • Battery: 7,100 mAh

  • Camera: Dual rear with 50 MP + 8 MP, 16 MP selfie

These specifications suggest that both phones are designed with power users in mind—especially mobile gamers, binge-watchers, and photography enthusiasts. The high refresh rate displays and huge batteries promise an uninterrupted user experience.

Final Thoughts: Early Impressions and What to Expect

With both devices in hand, the OnePlus Nord 5 clearly positions itself as a “flagship killer” with standout features like a high refresh rate AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, and an advanced camera setup. The Nord CE 5, meanwhile, seems targeted at users looking for excellent battery life and decent all-round performance at a more affordable price.

However, pricing remains under wraps. The full specifications, performance benchmarks, and real-world usage insights will be shared in the complete review releasing on July 8. Until then, these early impressions based on leaks and hands-on usage give us a promising preview.

If you’re considering either of these devices, keep an eye out for the full review. And if there’s anything specific you’d like tested, be sure to share your questions in the comments section.

oneplus nord ce 3

OnePlus has begun rolling out a new software update for its OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G smartphone. The update, OxygenOS 15.0.0.901, is being released in batches and is currently available for users in India. This means not everyone will get it at the same time, but it should reach all devices soon.

The update brings new features to make the phone more useful. One of the key additions is the ability to connect the phone to a Mac. This feature allows users to view phone files on their Mac and easily transfer files between the two devices. This makes it more convenient for people who use both Android and macOS.

Another useful feature in this update is partial screen recording. With this, users can choose a specific part of the screen to record, rather than recording the entire screen. This can help focus on important areas and save storage space.

The system has also received some improvements. The default apps in Super Power Saving Mode have been updated, and it is now easier to add apps to this mode. Lastly, the update includes the June 2025 Android security patch, which helps protect the device and keep it secure.

OnePlus Nord CE3 5G users can look forward to these improvements as the update gradually reaches more devices across India.
