OnePlus today unveiled five new devices, expanding its ecosystem across smartphones, wearables, audio, and tablets. The lineup includes the mid-range OnePlus Nord 5, a smaller OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm), the OnePlus Buds 4, the Nord CE 5, and the budget-friendly OnePlus Pad Lite.
OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm)
OnePlus has introduced a more compact 43mm variant of its Watch 3 smartwatch, addressing complaints about the original 47mm size. The updated model drops the angular design in favor of a simpler, rounder look.
Despite the smaller form factor, there are some trade-offs:
- Battery life is reduced by half, from 120 hours to 60 hours.
- Peak brightness drops from 2,200 nits to 1,000 nits.
- Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 with a secondary low-power chip.
- Runs Wear OS, includes reproductive cycle tracking, and offers a Wellness score with fatigue tracking using a built-in barometer.
The Watch 3 (43mm) is available now in the US via the OnePlus website for $299.99, with broader availability on Amazon and Best Buy coming in August. It’s priced at €299 / £269 in Europe.
OnePlus Buds 4
The new OnePlus Buds 4 offer a mix of premium features at a mid-range price point:
- Support for Hi-Res and spatial audio.
- Equipped with dual 11mm and 6mm drivers.
- Feature concave touch controls for easier operation.
The Buds 4 are priced at $129.99 in the US and €119 / £119 in Europe, and come in green or dark gray color options.
OnePlus Nord 5
The highlight of the launch is the OnePlus Nord 5, a new mid-range smartphone that won’t be available in the US but will launch in Europe for €449 / £399.
Key features:
- Powered by the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset.
- Features a 6.83-inch 144Hz OLED display.
- Includes a surprisingly powerful 50MP selfie camera.
- Runs on OxygenOS with four years of OS updates and six years of security patches.
- Introduces the new Plus Key – a customizable button focused on AI tasks, replacing the classic Alert Slider.
OnePlus Nord CE 5
The OnePlus Nord CE 5 is a more affordable alternative priced at €349 / £299. It shares a similar design with the Nord 5 but cuts back on specs:
- Uses a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex processor.
- Slightly smaller 6.77-inch display with lower resolution and brightness.
- Same 5,200mAh battery with 80W fast charging.
- Offers the same OS and security update promise as the Nord 5.
OnePlus Pad Lite
Rounding out the announcements is the OnePlus Pad Lite, a new entry-level tablet priced at €229 / £199. It features:
