In July 2025, OnePlus officially launched the latest flagship in its Nord series,

the OnePlus Nord 5. Upon its release, this new device quickly became a focal point in the mid-to-premium smartphone market thanks to its superior hardware, outstanding display performance, and smooth system experience. Combining existing online release information, we offer a comprehensive analysis of this highly anticipated new device.

Exquisite Design, Superior Grip

The OnePlus Nord 5 continues OnePlus's signature minimalist aesthetic and high-quality build quality. Measuring 163.41 × 77.04 × 8.1 mm and weighing a mere 211 grams, it maintains a comfortable grip despite its generous battery and high-performance hardware. Its slim design and high screen-to-body ratio enhance visual immersion while ensuring comfortable everyday use.

Top-tier Screen Experience: Swift AMOLED Leads the Industry

One of the Nord 5's most striking features is its 6.83-inch Swift AMOLED display, considered the highest-quality display in its class.

High Resolution and Detailed Image Quality: With a resolution of 2800×1272 (1.5K) and a pixel density of up to 450 ppi, images are crisp and clear, with text edges smooth and free of jagged edges.

Ultra-High Refresh Rate and Touch Responsiveness: Supporting adaptive refresh rates up to 144Hz (60/90/120/144Hz), it delivers an incredibly smooth visual experience, whether scrolling, gaming, or watching videos. Even more impressive, its instantaneous touch sampling rate reaches 3000Hz, significantly reducing operational latency, making it ideal for serious gamers.

Eye-Friendly and Brightness Performance: Utilizing 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming technology, it effectively reduces screen flicker at low brightness levels, significantly reducing visual fatigue. Peak brightness reaches 1800 nits, and HBM (full-screen brightness) reaches 1400 nits, ensuring clear reading even in bright sunlight. Sun-amp technology further optimizes outdoor visibility.

Color and HDR Support: Support for 10-bit color depth (1.07 billion colors) and 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut ensures accurate color reproduction. Combined with Ultra HDR, it delivers cinematic-quality visual enjoyment.

Durability: The screen is covered with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus 7i, a proprietary tempered glass co-developed with OnePlus, offering enhanced scratch and drop resistance.

With a screen-to-body ratio of up to 93.6%, the virtually borderless display makes every screen-on experience a true pleasure.

Powerful Performance: Powered by a flagship chip, smooth and long-lasting performance

The OnePlus Nord 5 is equipped with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 8s Gen 3 high-performance mobile platform built on TSMC's 4nm process, complemented by the Adreno™ 735 GPU. It easily handles multitasking, heavy gaming, and AI computing.

Memory and Storage: Available in two configurations: 8GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. Both utilize LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 flash storage, and support OnePlus RAM Activation technology for up to 8GB of virtual memory, ensuring smooth operation.

System Optimization: Running OxygenOS 15.0, a deeply customized version of Android 15, it features a clean and responsive interface. It has achieved TÜV SÜD's 72-month Grade A certification for smoothness, promising up to six years of smooth system experience.

Cooling System: Equipped with a heat dissipation module with a total area of 32,207 mm², it effectively controls temperature rise under high load and ensures continuous performance. Large Battery + Ultra-Fast Charging for Worry-Free Battery Life

The Nord 5 boasts a massive 6800mAh battery. Combined with an energy-efficient chip and optimized system, it easily supports a full day of heavy use. It also supports 80W SUPERVOOC wired flash charging for quick recharge. It's also compatible with 18W PD/55W PPS protocols for even greater compatibility. Furthermore, it supports 5W wired reverse charging and bypass charging, meeting diverse usage needs.
