OnePlus Nord 5 launching on July 8, 2025: 5 big changes to expect over Nord 4
OnePlus is set to unveil its next Nord phone — the OnePlus Nord 5 — on July 8, 2025. The phone promises several key upgrades over its predecessor, the Nord 4, from a faster processor to a bigger battery. Here are 5 big changes we can expect from the Nord 5.
1/5

Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 to power the Nord 5
The Nord 5 is rumored to come with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, a step-up from the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in the Nord 4. Based on leaks, this chip promises faster performance and greater power efficiency. It’s a rebranded version of the Ace 5 Racing Edition, offering a smoother experience for daily tasks and heavy gaming.
2/5

Higher-resolution display
The phone is expected to sport a 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a nice bump up from the FHD+ resolution on the Nord 4. The result should be sharper visuals and smoother scrolling — perfect for gamers and content consumers who want a rich viewing experience.
3/5

Bigger battery with fast charging
Battery life has been a strong focus for the Nord 5. The phone is rumored to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery, although certifications show a rated 6,650mAh. Nonetheless, it’s a significant boost over the Nord 4’s battery and should help keep the phone going all day with heavy use. It will also support up to 100W wired charging (certification suggests 80W), letting you top up quickly when you’re running low.
4/5

Enhanced camera and imaging
The main camera is expected to remain at 50MP with OIS, alongside an 8MP ultrawide and a 16MP selfie camera. While the sensor resolution is the same as the Nord 4, improved processing from the new chip should result in better photo and video quality, particularly in low light.
5/5

OxygenOS 15 with Android 15
The phone is slated to launch with OxygenOS 15, based on the latest Android 15. That means it will come with all the new software tweaks and optimizations Android 15 has to offer, from enhanced privacy controls to smoother multitasking and UI tweaks.
