Available now via Amazon India and the official OnePlus website, the phone starts at an effective price of ₹22,999 with bank discounts. Packed with powerful hardware, a stunning display, and a massive battery, the Nord CE5 aims to offer premium features at an accessible price point.
The Nord CE5 flaunts a 6.77-inch Fluid AMOLED display that supports 1 billion colors, HDR10+, and a 120Hz refresh rate. With brightness peaking at 1430 nits, content looks vivid even under direct sunlight. It offers an 89.7% screen-to-body ratio, enhancing the immersive experience for video streaming and gaming.
In terms of build, it measures 163.6 x 76 x 8.2 mm and weighs 199 grams, giving it a solid yet ergonomic feel. OnePlus has added IP65 dust and water resistance, providing an extra layer of durability for everyday use.
At the heart of the Nord CE5 lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset (4nm), a powerful processor designed for smooth multitasking and gaming. It’s paired with up to 12GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, available in 128GB/8GB, 256GB/8GB, and 256GB/12GB variants. The phone runs on the latest Android 15 with ColorOS 15, promising a fast and refined user experience.

One of the standout features for Indian users is the massive 7100mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, exclusive to the Indian market. Globally, it ships with a 5200mAh cell. Both versions support 80W wired charging with bypass charging, letting users game while charging without heating up the battery.
