OnePlus has officially kicked off its Summer Launch Event 2025 with a strong lineup of devices that mix premium features with mid-range pricing. 
The spotlight is on the new OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5 smartphones, alongside a more compact OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm), the new OnePlus Pad Lite, and the globally debuting OnePlus Buds 4.
Leading the pack is the OnePlus Nord 5, powered by the efficient Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. It boasts dual 50MP cameras and a buttery-smooth 144Hz display. The device supports 80W wired charging and comes bundled with a fast charger. Early hands-on reviews suggest it’s shaping up to be a flagship killer with premium performance at a friendlier price.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord CE5 offers a more budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing battery life. It features a massive 7,100mAh battery and charges fully in just under an hour with the same 80W charger. This model runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex chip, balancing performance and efficiency for daily use.
For wearable fans, the OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) trims down the size from its predecessor. It features a 1.32-inch display (compared to the original 1.5-inch) and weighs just 36.8g, offering a more comfortable fit for those with smaller wrists while retaining core fitness tracking and smart features.
Though details are still under wraps, the OnePlus Pad Lite is expected to bring a more affordable tablet option to the ecosystem. With OnePlus keeping specs under tight control, we anticipate an entry-level or mid-tier Android experience that complements the Nord lineup.
Lastly, the OnePlus Buds 4 make their global debut. Previously launched in China, these TWS earbuds are likely to follow the company’s tradition of great sound, long battery life, and sleek design at a competitive price.
Overall, OnePlus is making a clear push to cover all the major tech categories in 2025, appealing to users who want feature-rich devices without flagship prices.
