OnePlus Nord 5

Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 sits at the core of this one, paired with 12GB RAM and a generous 512GB storage that leaves no room for excuses on space. The 6.83-inch Swift AMOLED panel runs at 144Hz and hits up to 1800 nits peak brightness, so outdoor visibility shouldn't be an issue. OnePlus Nord 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM2299, which puts it in a segment where this kind of chipset and refresh rate combo isn't a given.

Camera setup is a 50MP main sensor with OIS, backed by an 8MP ultrawide. Nothing exotic on the telephoto front, but the main shooter should hold up in most daylight and low-light scenarios thanks to the optical stabilisation. Battery capacity comes in at 6,800mAh, a notably large cell for the class, and 80W SUPERVOOC charging means top-ups are quick.

Build-wise, you get Gorilla Glass 7i up front and an IP65 rating for dust and light water resistance, which isn't full IP68 but still useful protection. It ships on Android 15 with OxygenOS 15, and OnePlus has committed to four major Android upgrades.
