The OnePlus Nord CE5 just got pricier in Nepal. The phone now costs NPR 6,000 more than what it sold for at launch, so it is no longer the easy budget pick it once was. Many phones in Nepal have gone up in price lately, and this one has joined the list. Still, the OnePlus Nord CE5 comes with a giant battery, a good AMOLED screen, and a strong chipset, which makes the change worth talking about.
- 6.77″ Fluid AMOLED, 120Hz, 1,430 nits peak
- MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex, 8GB RAM
- 50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultrawide, 16MP selfie
- 7,100mAh battery, 80W charging
OnePlus Nord CE5 Overview
Design and Display

The OnePlus Nord CE5 is a fairly tall phone at 163.6 x 76 x 8.2 mm, and it weighs 199 g. The weight is noticeable in the hand, but the body still feels slim for a phone with such a big battery inside. There is also IP65 protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, so a splash or light rain is not a big worry. It has space for two Nano-SIM cards as well.

The screen is a 6.77-inch Fluid AMOLED panel with 1080 x 2392 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. It can show up to one billion colors, and the display covers almost 90 percent of the front. Brightness peaks at 1,430 nits, so the OnePlus Nord CE5 AMOLED display stays easy to read even outdoors in direct sun. The fingerprint sensor sits right under the glass.

Performance
Inside, the phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex, a 4nm octa-core processor with a top speed of 3.35 GHz. The OnePlus Nord CE5 combines it with a Mali-G615 MC6 GPU and UFS 3.1 storage. In daily use, that means apps open fast, files load without waiting, and switching between apps feels easy. Social media, video streaming, and casual games should all run without much trouble.

In Nepal, the phone comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, which leaves plenty of room for apps, photos, and videos. A microSDXC slot is there too, but it shares space with the second SIM. The software is Android 15. For long gaming sessions, a big graphene vapor chamber with a 7,041 mm² cooling area helps spread the heat and keeps performance steady.

Camera
The OnePlus Nord CE5 camera starts with a 50MP main sensor that has an f/1.8 aperture, PDAF, and optical image stabilization. The stabilization helps keep photos sharp in low light and videos steady while walking. Next to it sits an 8MP ultrawide lens with a 112-degree field of view, which is handy for group photos and wide landscape shots.

Videos can be recorded in 4K at up to 60fps with HDR and gyro-based stabilization. For slow motion, the phone goes up to 480fps at 1080p. The front has a 16MP selfie camera that shoots 1080p video at 30 or 60fps. An LED flash, panorama mode, and Ultra HDR image support are also included.

Battery and Connectivity

The OnePlus Nord CE5 in Nepal comes with a 7,100mAh Si/C battery, which is a very large capacity for a phone in this price range. Charging goes up to 80W over USB Type-C, so the big battery does not take forever to fill up. Bypass charging is supported too, so the phone stays cooler when playing games while plugged in.
For connectivity, the phone supports 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC, and it has an infrared port as well. Bluetooth audio options include aptX HD and LHDC 5. GPS works with all major satellite systems, including Galileo, GLONASS, and BDS.
