OnePlus Nord CE5 set to launch soon with 7,100mAh battery

OnePlus is preparing to launch its next Nord series smartphone, with the release expected in the near future. While initial reports pointed to a May debut for the Nord CE5, recent updates suggest a June launch. The phone has already appeared on the BIS certification site, confirming its existence and imminent arrival.

According to leaks, the Nord CE5 will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It’s expected to sport a dual rear camera setup, including a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens using the Sony IMX355. On the front, it’s rumored to include a 16MP selfie camera. The device will also have a 6.7-inch flat OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

One of its standout features is a massive 7,100mAh battery supporting 80W wired charging - a significant upgrade over the 5,500mAh battery in the Nord CE4. Additional specs include an IR blaster, hybrid dual SIM slot, in-display fingerprint sensor, and likely some level of water and dust resistance. Pricing is expected to be close to that of the Nord CE4, possibly with a slight increase.
