The OnePlus Nord series has always aimed to blur the lines between premium features and mid-range pricing, and it’s about to take another leap. With the Nord 5 series set to debut on July 8, I had the chance to spend a week with the device in the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
While I can’t spill all the beans just yet, there’s plenty I can share. From early confirmed specifications to a sneak peek at what the Nord 5’s cameras captured during my trip, here’s your first real-world glimpse into OnePlus’ next mid-range contender.
Breaking Down Our Camera Testing Process
Before we dive into the camera samples, here’s a quick look at how we test smartphone cameras at MySmartPrice. The process isn’t one-size-fits-all—it changes depending on the number of lenses a phone carries: dual, triple, or more, and the capabilities of each sensor, including their megapixel count.
While I can’t reveal the complete camera specifications of the OnePlus Nord 5 yet, I spent time capturing a variety of scenes in Ho Chi Minh City using the standard 1x and 2x modes, in both daylight and low-light environments. I also explored its portrait mode across different lighting conditions to evaluate subject separation, background blur, and colour accuracy.
Our goal is simple: to understand how a camera performs not just on paper, but out in the real world; across settings, times of day, and lighting scenarios.
Now, let’s check out the samples and see what the OnePlus Nord 5 captured on the streets of Vietnam.
While we can’t reveal everything yet, OnePlus has officially confirmed a few key specifications — here’s a quick rundown of what’s been made public.
