OnePlus is gearing up to launch a new smartphone that’s already making waves the rumored OnePlus Nord 5. Though the name hasn’t been officially confirmed, a device with model number CPH2079 has just cleared TÜV Rheinland certification in Germany, hinting that its global debut is right around the corner.
Monster Battery Capacity You Can’t Ignore
What’s grabbing everyone’s attention is the massive 6,650mAh battery even larger than the 6,260mAh unit in the already-impressive OnePlus 13T. For users who constantly worry about battery life, this could be a major selling point.
While early rumors hinted at a 7,000mAh battery and 100W fast charging, the certified version supports 80W wired fast charging, which is still fast enough to juice up the phone in no time.
Rumored Specs vs. Certified Reality
Originally, leaks suggested the Nord 5 would feature:
- A 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate
- MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e chipset
- 100W fast charging support
- And a 7000mAh battery
Now that the device is certified with slightly lower specs including a 6,650mAh battery and 80W charging it looks like we might be getting a more balanced mid-range device, rather than a full-blown flagship killer.
Camera Setup: Still Under Wraps
Details about the Nord 5’s camera are still fuzzy. One leak points to a dual camera system (50MP + 2MP), while another mentions a 50MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Either way, it’s clear that the Nord 5 is not just about battery photography may still play a significant role.
Rebranded or Original?
There’s also speculation that the OnePlus Nord 5 could be a rebranded version of the global Ace 5 Racing Edition, which would explain the similarities in battery size and hardware configuration.
