OnePlus Nord 5 leak hints at big battery, sleek display

If your phone is starting to feel a bit sluggish, bloated, or constantly crying out for a power bank, you might want to keep your eye on the upcoming OnePlus Nord 5. Tipped to launch in India soon, OnePlus’ next midrange marvel looks set to pack serious punch, both in terms of design and performance, without putting a large dent in your bank balance.

OnePlus Nord 5 price and launch timeline tipped

According to fresh leaks from a trusted tipster, the Nord 5 is gunning for the crown in the under-Rs 30,000 segment. The tipped pricing matches that of its predecessor, the Nord 4, which launched at Rs 29,999. The standout spec? A gargantuan 7,000mAh battery. That’s not just all-day stamina; that’s weekend-trip-on-one-charge energy. And with 100W fast charging allegedly in the mix, it’s looking like a budget spec monster.

The phone is expected to launch in India sometime in June or July, making it a strong summer contender for anyone looking to upgrade without splurging on a flagship.

OnePlus Nord 5: Expected specs and features

Rumour has it the Nord 5 will sport a flat AMOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution and a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate which is ideal for everything from binge-watching your favourite shows to swiping through socials. Security-wise, an in-display fingerprint scanner is expected, keeping the front design minimal and modern.

Under the hood, the phone is likely to run on a new Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm’s mid-to-upper tier lineup. In terms of imaging, the camera setup is said to be upgraded, with a likely emphasis on better low-light performance and features designed for content creation. Think portraits, reels, and crisp night shots.

And of course, everything is backed by that mammoth 7,000mAh battery, which will be paired with 100W fast charging for minimal downtime.

While nothing’s officially confirmed yet, if these leaks hold true, the OnePlus Nord 5 could be one of the smartest buys of the year for the style-conscious, spec-savvy crowd.
