The OnePlus Nord 5 will be among the latest entries in the brand’s popular Nord series. This will be an upper mid-range smartphone, packing some impressive specs and upgrades over its predecessor. From teasers to leaks, here’s a quick roundup where we break down all the key details surrounding the upcoming phone.
The Chinese brand’s new Nord 5 is basically a rebranded global version of the Ace 5 Ultra Edition. While there are slight differences in terms of specifications, the overall design is identical. So you get a flat front display and a flat rear panel with rounded corners. The back also has a vertically stacked dual camera setup in an oval shaped module. OnePlus released the Ace 5 Ultra with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, and the Nord 5 likely offers similar protection.
This model may launch in India in White and Black color options. The display specs of the next-gen Nord are still unknown, but it might be the same as the Ace 5 Ultra as well. OnePlus launched the Ace 5 Ultra with a tall 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, 1400 nits of peak brightness, and 3840Hz PWM dimming.
2. Specifications
Unfortunately, the Nord 5 was just teased with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, making it the first Nord model with a Snapdragon 8 series processor. This is a downgrade over the Ace 5 Ultra that was announced with MediaTek’s latest and greatest Dimensity 9400+ SoC. It is expected to pack a huge battery, which could have a 6,550Ah capacity. The device may support 80W wired fast charging as well.
This processor also enables it to run Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI at 144fps via frame interpolation. The chip is rumored to be paired with at least 8GB of RAM (12GB top model) and a starting storage option of 256GB. Keeping these beefy specs cool is a large 7300 mm² VC cooling mechanism. Other notable features likely include an optical in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.3, Android 15 OS based OxygenOS 15 custom skin out of the box, and an infrared sensor.
3. Camera
Once again, the camera hardware details have yet to be confirmed. We can assume that the specs are the same as the Ace 5 Ultra. So the rear could have a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens, while the front houses a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
4. Launch Date
OnePlus just confirmed the official launch date of the Nord 5, Nord CE 5, and the OnePlus Buds 4. These products will be debuting globally in the Indian market on 8th July 2025 at 2PM IST. Availability details have yet to be confirmed but the teaser did reveal a lifetime warranty for the display. This is likely related to the infamous green issue that plagued previous OnePlus phones. Thanks to these specs and its expected competitive pricing, the Nord 5 is set to be the most powerful Nord series smartphone.

The stable version of Android 16 arrived a lot earlier than the usual timeline, and so should One UI 8. Samsung is actively working on it towards a quicker rollout, and it has also shown clear improvements in its communication strategy. The brand has already begun the One UI 8 beta program, and the stable release is not far behind.
With the stable release around the corner, you may want to find out if your Galaxy device is eligible for the One UI 8 upgrade, which is based on Android 16. This post is specifically geared towards Galaxy S-series fans. If you have a different Galaxy device, check out this post.
These Galaxy S-series phones are eligible for One UI 8 update
Samsung hasn’t announced which devices will be upgraded to the newest software, but it has a transparent update policy, which helped us prepare the following list.
Galaxy S25
Galaxy S25+
Galaxy S25 Ultra
Galaxy S25 Edge
Galaxy S24

Galaxy S24 Ultra
Galaxy S24 FE
Galaxy S23
Galaxy S23+
Galaxy S23 Ultra
Galaxy S23 FE
Galaxy S22
Galaxy S22+
Galaxy S22 Ultra
Galaxy S21 FE
If your device is on the list, it is almost certain to receive the One UI 8 update when it becomes available. Other Galaxy S-series users will need to upgrade to a newer model to get the latest features and enhancements.
Samsung promises four generations of Android updates to the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy S22 series, and Galaxy S23 series phones. With the Galaxy S24 series, the brand started offering a whopping seven years of Android updates, which also applies to the Galaxy S25 series and future S-series phones.
Just in case you’re wondering why the Galaxy S21 FE is on the list but not the regular models, that’s because the Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra were released with Android 11, while the S21 FE arrived later with Android 12 out of the box. Hence, the FE model is also eligible for the One UI 8 treat.

When will Samsung start rolling out One UI 8?
Samsung hasn’t announced a release date for One UI 8. However, it has confirmed that the new version will begin rolling out to eligible devices “this summer.” That means anything between June and September.
While the exact One UI 8 release timeline remains under wraps, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be the first phones to run One UI 8, which could be released next month.
It’s clear that the One UI 8 will arrive much earlier than last year. But this isn’t very surprising, as Google has already released the stable version of Android 16, and it shouldn’t take more than a few weeks for other brands to release the update with their custom skins (such as One UI) on top. Secondly, this upgrade doesn’t bring significant changes like One UI 7. Instead, it focuses on improving the overall software experience.
While the stable release is at least a month away, you can get an early hands-on experience with the newest software through the One UI 8 beta program. The prerequisites are: you must have a Galaxy S25 model and that you’re living in a supported region (read more about it here).

While competing models such as the Oppo Find N5 and the upcoming Honor Magic V5 pack the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, Vivo has decided to use the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip to power the X Fold 5, probably to make it available at a more affordable price.
The Geekbench listing has further revealed that the Vivo X Fold 5 is equipped with 16GB RAM and Android 15. In the single-core and multi-core tests, the device achieved 2,270 and 6,913 points, respectively.
Vivo X Fold 5 launch date
Set to launch on June 25 in China, the Vivo X Fold 5 is confirmed to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery and still measure only 4.3mm in the unfolded state. It will arrive in three shades: Pine Green, White, and Titanium. It will be an IP59+ device and will be durable enough to function normally at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
For photography, the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that will support long-range zoom and telephoto macro shots. Vivo claims the X Fold 5 is the first Android phone to connect seamlessly with Apple Watch, AirPods, iPhone calls, messages, and iCloud services. It also supports multi-device file transfer and productivity workflows with Mac, creating a highly connected environment for hybrid users.

Samsung has yet to unveil its 7th-generation foldables, but the Galaxy S26 series—expected to launch in January next year—has already entered the rumor mill. This time, it’s about software.
After a delay with One UI 7, Samsung reportedly skipped One UI 7.1 for its upcoming foldables and jumped straight to One UI 8, which was originally expected to be a major part of January’s Unpacked event. With leaks suggesting minimal hardware changes for the S26 lineup, Samsung appears to be shifting its focus to software, once again.

Galaxy S26 expected to launch with One UI 8.5, not One UI 8
Whispers of One UI 8.5, the software set to power these 2026 flagships, suggest Samsung is cooking up something big. With development reportedly underway, could this mid-cycle update steal the spotlight from rivals like Apple’s iOS 26?
Samsung has quietly started firmware development for One UI 8.5, according to two trusted tipsters cited by SamMobile. Built on Android 16, One UI 8.5 follows One UI 8.0 and marks a return to Samsung’s older tradition of significant mid-cycle updates, like the x.5 versions seen up to One UI 2. Unlike recent years, where One UI 6.1 and 7.0 skipped major mid-cycle releases in favor of minor x.1.1 iterations, One UI 8.5 reportedly promises to be a substantial leap. Its existence was even hinted at in a hidden menu within One UI 7, fueling speculation.
While details on features remain under wraps, One UI 8.5 is expected to bring a polished user experience, potentially rivaling Apple’s design-heavy iOS 26. One UI 8.5 is said to be positioned as a “gap filler” to keep Galaxy devices competitive until the next major OS cycle. The update may also roll out to older devices, with the Galaxy S25 series likely getting the full suite of new features, while select enhancements could reach the S24, S23, and even S22 series.
Samsung’s early work on One UI 8.5 signals bold ambitions for the Galaxy S26 series, aiming to outshine competitors with a robust software experience. As Apple pushes iOS 26, will Samsung’s mid-cycle update give Galaxy users the edge in 2026? We’re eager to see what’s next.

OnePlus to debut its in-house imaging brand with OnePlus 15
As per the leak, the OnePlus 15 is rumored to be the company’s first smartphone to carry a self-branded imaging solution. This move mirrors the strategy of rival brands that have formed long-term partnerships or developed their own camera divisions to improve photo and video performance. The new system will reportedly make its debut alongside a revised rear camera layout, ditching the circular camera deco seen in previous generations.
The rear camera setup is expected to include three 50-megapixel cameras, consisting of a main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a 3x periscope telephoto unit. This new shift suggests that OnePlus may finally ditch its long-standing Hasselblad partnership.
Apart from the imaging upgrade, the OnePlus 15 will feature a 6.78-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution. It will use LIPO screen packaging technology, which enables ultra-thin bezels and better display integration compared to older methods like COG and COF. Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, expected to be one of the most powerful Android SoCs this year. It may pack a 7,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support. It is also expected to feature other features, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and an IP68/69-rated body.
The phone is expected to launch in October, following the same timeline as last year’s OnePlus 13.
