OnePlus Nord 5 series leak hints at resemblance to Ace 5 Ultra and Racing Edition

The OnePlus Nord series features mid-range smartphones. The company is now expected to release the Nord 5 and the Nord 5 CE. So far, there are no official details regarding the phones. However, a new leak has surfaced online suggesting details regarding the design language of the upcoming Nord 5 models.

In China, OnePlus is set to launch two new phones: the Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition. A new leak (via The Tech Outlook) suggests that the Nord 5 and Nord 5 CE may look similar to the upcoming Ace 5 models. If that turns out to be true, the Nord 5 models will have a pill-shaped rear camera module. The mid-range phones may also feature an action button and an IR blaster.

In the past, we have seen many Ace phones being rebranded for the global market. For example, the standard Ace 5 was globally launched as the OnePlus 13R (curr. available for $499 on Amazon). Hence, the similarity between the new Ace models and the Nord 5 lineup may extend beyond just the design.

OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Racing Edition expected specifications 

The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra is said to feature a 6.83-inch OLED screen. OnePlus has confirmed it will be powered by the Dimensity 9400+, a flagship processor from MediaTek. Another highlight of the phone is expected to be its large 7,000mAh battery. It is expected to have a rear camera setup comprising a 50MP primary and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.

On the other hand, the Ace 5 Racing Edition is a more affordable phone. It is confirmed to be powered by the new Dimensity 9400e processor. It may rumored to feature a 6.77-inch OLED panel and a 7,000mAh battery. The Racing Edition may utilize a dual rear camera setup featuring a 50MP primary lens and a 2MP depth sensor. 

The above information is based on leaks and speculations and hence should be taken with a grain of salt. The new Ace 5 models are confirmed to launch on May 27. Meanwhile, the Nord 5 models are expected to be released sometime in July.
