OnePlus Summer Launch Event 2025: Nord 5, Nord CE5, Watch 3 43mm, Pad Lite and more

Fans of OnePlus’ value-for-money devices should grab a bag of popcorn – the big event starts soon. The company will launch two Nord phones, one “lite” tablet, a smaller smartwatch and new TWS buds on the global market.

You can watch the livestream below, the event is scheduled to start at 8:30 UTC. Below that you can find a preview of what to expect from this event.

The OnePlus Nord 5 is a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 powered phone with dual-50MP cameras and a 144Hz display. It supports 80W charging with the bundled charger – you can get a sneak peek as we have a unit in for review.

OnePlus Nord 5 key features

The OnePlus Nord CE5 is also at the office, waiting for a full review. This model also comes with an 80W charger and is equipped with a large 7,100mAh battery (even at 80W it takes just under an hour for a full charge). The CE5 is powered by the Dimensity 8350 Apex instead.

Hands-on: OnePlus Nord 5 • OnePlus Nord CE5

The OnePlus Watch 3 43mm is what the name suggests – a smaller version of the original watch with a 1.32” display, down from 1.5” on the 46mm model. It’s lighter too, 36.8g vs. 49.7g.

The OnePlus Pad Lite will be joining the Nords, but OnePlus has been surprisingly tight-lipped with the specs. There are also the OnePlus Buds 4, which launched in China earlier this year.
