OnePlus is gearing up for a major global launch event on July 8, where it will introduce a range of new devices – headlined by the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5. Also joining the lineup are the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm, the sleek OnePlus Pad Lite, and the OnePlus Buds 4, which have already made their debut in China.
OnePlus Nord 5: Gaming Powerhouse
The OnePlus Nord 5 is shaping up to be a performance-centric mid-ranger. Leaked promotional material confirms it will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, supported by a massive 7,300mm² vapor chamber to keep thermals in check. OnePlus boldly claims it can handle 144fps gameplay in titles like PUBG and CoD: Mobile without breaking a sweat – even after 5 hours of play. That all but confirms a 144Hz display, positioning the Nord 5 as a strong choice for mobile gamers.
OnePlus Nord CE5: Design Echoes Ace Series
While the Nord CE5 specs remain a mystery for now, its design strongly resembles the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing model. This visual similarity might not extend to internals, but expect CE5 to target the affordable premium segment. Users subscribing to launch updates can win discounts up to €100/£100 or even a €1,595/£1,435 Tech Bundle.
OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm): Smaller, Lighter, Smarter
After launching a 47mm version, OnePlus now introduces a more compact 43mm Watch 3. It retains the rotating crown and secondary button, but drops the larger model’s flat edge. OnePlus markets it as “smaller, thinner, lighter – ideal for all-day comfort.” Subscribers can snag €50/£50 off the wearable.
OnePlus Pad Lite: Entry Tablet with Premium Looks
The new Pad Lite features a circular camera module at the back, similar to the Chinese Pad 3, but differs from the international Pad 3. While specs are still under wraps, OnePlus promises a chance to win a €60/£60 discount for early registrants. It’s clear OnePlus wants to expand its tablet footprint with a more accessible offering.
And Don’t Forget the Buds 4
The OnePlus Buds 4 complete the ecosystem, having already launched in China. They’re expected to offer improved audio and battery life, rounding out this stacked July 8 event lineup.
With such a varied set of devices targeting different user needs – from gamers and fitness enthusiasts to tablet users – OnePlus is clearly aiming for broad global appeal. And the bonus giveaways make this launch all the more enticing.
