OnePlus aims to dominate the mid-range segment with this new device.
Notably, the new Nord 5 makes a surprising downgrade from an aluminum back and aluminum frame on the Nord 4 to a glass/polycarbonate build. Read on to find out.
Here’s everything you need to know about its specs, features, pricing, and more.
 The Nothing Phone (3) series is now officially complete. In a recent tweet, the founder and CEO of Nothing, Carl Pei, revealed that the lineup is all here, with the latest flagship, the Nothing Phone (3,) being the last model in this series. But this brings slightly bad news for people hoping for more. As of right now, the Phone (3) series consists of three smartphone models. This includes the Nothing Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and the Phone (3). |  Xiaomi and its sub-brand Redmi are gearing up to launch their next-generation flagship smartphones in China. While the Xiaomi 16 series is expected to debut by September, the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro are likely to be announced in October. Today, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station shared a new post on Weibo revealing key details about the Redmi K90 Pro. According to the tipster, the Redmi K90 Pro will be a significant upgrade, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850) platform. |
 Apple and Samsung are gearing up for a design showdown in 2026. Leaks suggest that while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could get noticeably thicker, the Galaxy S26 Ultra might go the other way—getting slimmer and lighter. It’s a clear sign that the two smartphone giants may be taking very different paths with their next-gen flagships. Right now, the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra are nearly identical in size and weight, both measuring around 163 x 77.6 x 8.3mm and tipping the scales at 227g. |  OnePlus has released a new version of its smartwatch, the 43 mm Watch 3. It is smaller, lighter, and slightly cheaper than the 46 mm model, but offers the same core features. While it shares specs with the Oppo Watch X2 mini, the OnePlus version will be available globally. The 43 mm Watch 3 has a slimmer dial and weighs 37.8 grams. It comes with a 1.32-inch display, compared to the 1.5-inch screen on the 46 mm version. |
