OnePlus continues to blur the lines between premium and mid-range smartphones with the launch of the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra in China, which is expected to arrive in India under the name OnePlus Nord 5. While the official confirmation is still pending, the specs and pricing point toward an exciting new option for Indian users who crave performance and design without burning a hole in their pockets.
Stunning Design and Immersive Display
The Ace 5 Ultra looks and feels premium. It measures just 8.1 mm thick and weighs 206 grams, making it sleek yet solid in hand. With IP65 certification, it’s also resistant to dust and water sprays—a helpful touch for everyday use. The phone features a massive 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1272 x 2800 pixels and a silky smooth 144Hz refresh rate, perfect for scrolling and gaming.
Adding to the experience is Dolby Vision support and 800 nits of typical brightness, offering excellent clarity and contrast even in bright environments. The screen is protected by Crystal Shield Glass, ensuring better resistance against scratches. The device is available in three stylish colors: Blue, Black, and Titanium.
Camera That Captures It All
On the photography front, the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra doesn’t disappoint. It sports a 50MP Sony IMX906 main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture for crisp and vibrant shots. You also get an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 16MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Whether it’s daylight, low light, or portrait shots, this setup looks capable for most day-to-day needs.
Performance Beast Under the Hood
At the heart of this device is the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset built on a 3nm process, paired with the Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU. With an AnTuTu score of over 3 million, it stands as one of the most powerful Android smartphones currently available.
Running on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, the phone offers up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage, making multitasking and data access incredibly fast. Whether you’re gaming, editing videos, or running heavy apps, this phone promises lag-free performance.
Long-Lasting Battery with Super Fast Charging
Battery life is another highlight here. The 6700 mAh battery ensures full-day usage with ease, and when you do need to charge, the 100W wired fast charging gets you up and running quickly. It even supports 7.5W reverse wired charging and bypass charging to reduce battery stress during gaming sessions.
Expected Pricing in India
In China, the 12GB+256GB variant is priced at CNY 2,499, which translates to approximately ₹30,000 in India. If OnePlus maintains this aggressive pricing, the Nord 5 could disrupt the mid-premium market in India.
Final Thoughts
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra (or the expected OnePlus Nord 5 in India) is shaping up to be a flagship-level device at a highly competitive price. From its beautiful display and powerful chipset to its large battery and fast charging, this phone checks nearly every box for performance-focused users.
