The OnePlus Nord 3 5G has officially launched in India, bringing a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor and the company's first-ever 16 GB RAM configuration to the mid-range segment. Priced starting at Rs 33,999, it is a compelling option for power users who want near-flagship performance without the flagship price tag.

Display and Performance
The Nord 3 5G sports a large 6.74-inch Super Fluid AMOLED panel running at a 120Hz refresh rate. The 10-bit color depth and HDR10+ support ensure vivid, accurate colors for both media consumption and gaming. Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC — built on a 4nm process — handles all processing tasks. The chipset is capable of 7 Gbps download speeds on 6 GHz 5G networks, making it one of the faster modems in the mid-range category. Bluetooth 5.3 is included for wireless connectivity.
Camera System
Photography is handled by a triple-camera array on the back. The primary shooter uses a 50 MP Sony IMX890 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), which helps reduce blur in low-light and action shots. A second 8 MP ultrawide camera offers a wide 112-degree field of view, and a 2 MP macro sensor rounds out the setup for close-up shots. Selfies and video calls are covered by a 16 MP front camera.
Battery and Charging
The Nord 3 5G packs a 5,000 mAh battery that should comfortably last a full day of heavy use. More importantly, it supports 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging — a headline feature that can dramatically cut down the time spent tethered to a wall outlet. This is one of the fastest charging speeds available in the sub-Rs 40,000 segment.
Software
The phone ships with OxygenOS 13.1 built on top of Android 13, providing a near-stock Android experience with OnePlus-specific additions. The 16 GB RAM variant also supports Virtual RAM expansion, stretching available memory further for demanding multitasking scenarios.
