As for the rest of the specs, the Nord 5 is rumored to pack a 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The camera setup is expected to include a 50 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultra-wide, with a 16 MP selfie camera on the front.
Battery life could be a major win here, too. The Nord 5 is said to have a huge 7,000mAh battery and support 100W fast charging.
The Nord CE 5, on the other hand, could be sticking with MediaTek. It is expected to feature a Dimensity 8350 chip, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Like its sibling, it may also come with a 120Hz OLED screen (6.7 inches), the same dual-camera system, and a 16MP selfie cam.
And while it is positioned as the more affordable model, its rumored 7,100mAh battery with 80W charging might actually top the Nord 5 in capacity.
And the Nord 5 is shaping up to be a solid pick if you are shopping in the mid-range space. It looks like it could go toe-to-toe with options like the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion – and might even come out ahead in areas like performance, battery life and long-term software support.
It also sounds like a great alternative if you are looking to move away from Samsung and try something different than a Galaxy phone without spending a fortune. Compared to the Galaxy A56, for example, the Nord 5 could offer better battery life and faster charging – at least if the current leaks are on point.
That said, don’t count on both phones being widely available. The Nord CE 5 is likely to remain an India-only release, just like the previous version. The Nord 5 should see a broader rollout, though, with availability expected in the UK and Europe – but probably not the US.
Pricing is still unconfirmed, but it could land close to the last generation, meaning around $300 for the CE model and about $450 for the Nord 5, depending on the configuration. We’ll know for sure once the launch rolls around next month.
