OnePlus Nord CE5 redefines mid-range with top-tier performance

OnePlus has taken another bold step in its mission to make the flagship experience more accessible with the launch of the OnePlus Nord CE5 — a device that pushes boundaries in performance, power, and camera capabilities.

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset, the OnePlus Nord CE5 delivers best-in-class performance, setting a new benchmark in its segment. Built on TSMC's cutting-edge 4nm process and featuring the latest Armv9 architecture, the octa-core CPU comprises four high-performance Cortex-A715 cores clocked at up to 3.35GHz, alongside four power-efficient cores for balanced performance and energy efficiency.

The device's 6-core Mali-G615 GPU enables a 60% boost in peak graphics performance, while reducing power consumption by 55% — a combination that ensures smoother gaming and longer battery life. Paired with next-generation LPDDR5X RAM, the Nord CE5 runs both everyday applications and heavy games seamlessly.

Gamers can enjoy titles like BGMI and CODM at up to 120 FPS — a feature uncommon even in higher-end phones. Its AI-optimised performance further supports high-definition streaming and content creation. With an AnTuTu score of 1.47 million, the Nord CE5 leads its class in raw processing power.

Equipped with a 7,100mAh battery — a capacity more commonly found in tablets — the Nord CE5 provides up to 2.5 days of power on a single charge. It virtually eliminates battery anxiety, keeping users connected and productive without the need for frequent recharging.

The device supports 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, which can take the battery from 1% to 100% in just 59 minutes. A 10-minute charge delivers more than six hours of YouTube playback, ensuring uninterrupted entertainment.

To protect battery health, the Nord CE5 introduces OnePlus's proprietary Battery Health Magic system, which intelligently manages charging to improve stability and extend the battery's lifespan. Additionally, Bypass Charging allows power to flow directly to the device during gaming, reducing heat, preserving battery longevity, and making extended play sessions more comfortable.

The OnePlus Nord CE5 is equipped with a flagship-grade 50MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor (1/1.95") with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) for consistently sharp and steady shots. Enhanced with the same RAW HDR algorithm and Real Tone exposure technology found in the OnePlus 13 series, the phone delivers vivid colours, natural skin tones, and detailed Ultra HDR imaging.

Live Photo now supports Ultra HDR for cover frames, offering greater dynamic range and detail to preserve memories more vividly. The Nord CE5 also supports 4K video recording at 60fps with HDR, delivering frame-by-frame clarity and lifelike colour in every scene.
