The OnePlus Nord 5 is a more refined, more capable phone than its predecessor, but it still stumbles in key areas, including thermal management and originality in design.

OnePlus announced five new gadgets today, with two coming to the US. One of them is a new version of the company’s latest Wear OS smartwatch.

OnePlus has launched new Nord 5 and Nord CE5 mid-rangers with unwelcome cutbacks to the batteries for global variants.

O nePlus has launched five new products today, including the midrange Nord 5 phone and a smaller version of its Watch 3 wearable. The 43mm version of the Watch 3 and the new Buds 4 earbuds are the only new products launching in the US, with the others going on sale in Europe and India.

The OnePlus Buds 4 and Watch 3 (43mm) have launched globally. The earbuds offer ANC, while the latter features a smaller dial.

While I wish its price were closer to that of the earlier Pad 2, the $700 OnePlus Pad 3 is a markedly premium Android tablet that costs significantly less than Samsung's high-end Galaxy Tab S10 Plus.

OnePlus Buds 4 tick the basics with strong ANC, good audio, and decent battery, but call quality in noisy places leaves room for improvement
