The OnePlus Nord 5 series, including the Nord CE 5 mid-range model, was launched in India on Tuesday. The new Nord series uses both Snapdragon and MediaTek chips, along with an AMOLED display and a fast-charging battery, and it includes a charger, as well as the OxygenOS software. OnePlus is releasing its first Nord phone without the usual alert slider; instead, it has a Plus key that was first seen on the OnePlus 13s model earlier this year. In India, prices begin at Rs 31,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB version and go up to Rs 34,999 and Rs 37,999 for the 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB models. The Nord CE 5 costs Rs 24,999 for the standard 8GB + 128GB version, Rs 26,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model, and Rs 28,999 for the 12GB + 256GB version. OnePlus intends to start selling the Nord 5 in India starting on July 9, and the Nord CE 5 will be available beginning July 12 in the country.
