OnePlus Nord 5 demonstrates the ideal Galaxy S25 FE specs and features, according to recent comparisons.
The tech world is abuzz with excitement over the latest offering from OnePlus, the Nord 5. Priced at a surprisingly affordable $400 (converted from the Indian market price), the OnePlus Nord 5 promises to deliver a wealth of premium features that rival high-end devices, all while keeping costs down.
One of the standout features of the OnePlus Nord 5 is its fast charging speed. The phone comes bundled with an 80W charging brick, making it faster than Samsung's best phones in the charging department. With support for fast charging up to 80W, the OnePlus Nord 5 can go from empty to 100% in an hour.
The OnePlus Nord 5 also boasts a 1.5K OLED display with a 144Hz panel and uniformly thin bezels, offering an immersive viewing experience. The phone's glass and polycarbonate design, with a surface finish that resembles natural marble, gives it a premium look and feel.
The OnePlus Nord 5 is armed with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, ensuring smooth and powerful performance. In benchmark tests, the OnePlus Nord 5 performs nearly 30% more powerfully, on average, in graphics-intensive tests compared to the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. The phone handles graphics-intensive games like Wuthering Waves and Call of Duty Mobile at a cool 144 fps, thanks to the built-in Adaptive Frame Booster system.
The OnePlus Nord 5's main 50-megapixel camera takes sharp pictures with a high level of surface detail and realistic color output. The phone's day-to-day performance is way above the benchmark you would expect from a $400 phone, making it a strong contender in the budget phone market.
On the battery front, the OnePlus Nord 5 comes with a massive 6,800 mAh battery, which is the biggest battery in a mainstream US phone to date. With moderate usage, the OnePlus Nord 5 can last two days without charging.
However, the OnePlus Nord 5 is heavier and larger than some competitors due to its large battery. The in-display fingerprint sensor on the OnePlus Nord 5 is positioned uncomfortably close to the lower edge, which may be a minor inconvenience for some users.
In comparison, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LTPO Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The device may have a 4,900 mAh battery with 45W fast charging capabilities. The phone is rumored to have an Armor Aluminum build, measuring 7.4 mm in thickness and weighing 190 grams.
The Galaxy S25 FE is anticipated to feature the Exynos 2400e chipset and may include configurations with 8GB of RAM. The selfie camera could be upgraded to a 12-MP sensor, and the phone is expected to come in at least two color options: grey and white.
While the OnePlus Nord 5 offers significantly more power and premium features at a lower price point, it remains to be seen how the Galaxy S25 FE will stack up against its competition. The OnePlus Nord 5, however, has already proven itself to be a formidable budget phone, offering value comparable to "budget flagships."
The OnePlus Nord 5, with its fast charging speed and 80W charging brick, surpasses Samsung's smartphones in the charging department, providing a rapid charge from empty to 100% in an hour. The tech world is abuzz not only about the OnePlus Nord 5's premium features but also its impressive gadgets that rival high-end devices, such as its 1.5K OLED display, 50-megapixel camera, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
