OnePlus Nord CE 5 and Buds 4 Launched in India: Specs, Price, and Features

OnePlus has just dropped three new products in India—the OnePlus Nord 5, OnePlus Nord CE 5, and the OnePlus Buds 4. Staying true to the brand’s “Never Settle” promise, the new Nord devices bring flagship-level features and AI-powered tools to the mid-range segment, while the Buds 4 aim to deliver premium audio in a sleek, lightweight design.

Here’s everything you need to know about their features, pricing, and availability.

OnePlus Nord CE 5: Big Battery, Powerful Chip, and Smart Software

The OnePlus Nord CE 5 is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex processor, which makes it a solid choice for daily tasks and even high-end mobile gaming. The phone also gets a 7,100mAh battery—yes, that big—which OnePlus claims can last up to 2.5 days on a single charge. When it’s time to recharge, the 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging ensures you’re not waiting around too long.

For gamers, the phone offers Bypass Charging that powers the phone directly without heating up the battery during intense sessions. Plus, it comes with a large 7041mm² vapor chamber cooling system, so games like BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile run smooth at up to 120fps.

Visually, the phone features a vibrant 6.77-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, and supports Gaming HDR and Ultra HDR for enhanced visuals. The phone also comes with IP65 certification for splash protection and a microSD card slot that supports up to 1TB of expandable storage.

In terms of photography, it packs a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with features like the RAW HDR algorithm (from the flagship OnePlus 13 series), Live Photos in Ultra HDR, and even 4K 60fps HDR video recording.

OnePlus Nord CE 5: Price and Offers

The OnePlus Nord CE 5 is available in three stylish colours: Black Infinity, Marble Mist, and Nexus Blue. It will be up for open sale starting 12th July 2025, at 12 AM.

OnePlus Buds 4: Lightweight Design with Serious Audio Features

Alongside the phones, OnePlus also launched the OnePlus Buds 4, a new pair of true wireless earbuds that blend style, sound quality, and smarts. Available in Zen Green and Storm Gray, the Buds 4 will go on open sale on 9th July at 12 PM IST, priced at ₹5,999. With launch offers, you can grab them for as low as ₹5,499.

Each earbud weighs just 4.7 grams, but they pack a punch thanks to their coaxial Dual Driver system—featuring an 11mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter, powered by dual DACs. The audio experience is enhanced further with OnePlus 3D Audio and Golden Sound personalization on compatible devices. They're also Hi-Res Wireless Audio certified and support the LHDC 5.0 codec for rich sound quality.

Buds 4 Features: Smarter Noise Cancellation and Better Calls

The OnePlus Buds 4 come equipped with Real-time Adaptive ANC that cuts out noise up to 55dB across a 5500Hz range, adjusting up to 800 times per second. A new Adaptive Mode makes them smart enough to balance between cancelling noise and keeping you aware of your surroundings.

Call quality also gets a big upgrade with AI-based noise cancellation, a three-mic setup, and voice filtering that’s 200% better than the previous generation. They also support gesture controls, Google Fast Pair, Dual-Device Connection, and native voice assistants for quick access.

Gamers will love the 47ms low latency Game Mode, while battery life extends up to 11 hours on a single charge and 45 hours with the charging case (ANC off). A quick 10-minute charge can give you up to 11 hours of playback. The Buds 4 are also IP55 rated for water and dust resistance and are TÜV Rheinland certified for battery durability over 1,000 charge cycles.
