Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 renders

A leak from Android Headlines shows us the renders of the devices as well as their specifications which are also mostly similar to the Ace 5 devices but with a few differences. The OnePlus Nord 5 will sport a 6.83-inch AMOLED Display with a 1.5K Resolution (2800 x 1272 pixels), 120Hz refresh rate, 1400 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3, PWM Dimming, 450 ppi, and 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. It’ll have the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 instead of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ used in the Ace 5 Ultra.

It’ll be available in 8GB and 12GB RAM options and 256GB and 512GB storage options. At the back, it’ll have a dual camera setup at the rear including a 50MP f/1.8 primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle camera. On the front, there will be a 50MP sensor for selfies and video calls versus the 16MP sensor used in the Ace 5 Ultra.

The Nord 5 will have a smaller 5200mAh cell compared to the 6700mAh cell used in the Ace 5 Ultra, also with a slower 80W compared to 100W chaging.

Coming to the Nord CE 5, it’ll pack a 6.77-inch AMOLED Display with a full-HD+ Resolution (2392 x 1080 pixels), 120Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3, PWM Dimming, 387 ppi, and 94.1% screen-to-body ratio. The MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC will likely power the device with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Again, the Ace 5 Racing uses a more powerful with more RAM and storage options on offer.

It’ll have the same rear camera setup as the Nord 5 but with a 16MP sensor on the front. The battery and charging speeds also remain identical to the Nord 5. The Ace 5 Racing edition, however, packs a much bigger 7100mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Chipset Revealed

0

Update 14/06/2025: Tipster Abhishek Yadav has made a correction for his leak where he states that the chipset revealed is for the Galaxy Tab S11 and not the S11 Ultra. Rest of the information remains the same as before.

Original Story Below

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra chipset has been revealed ahead of the tablet’s launch later this year. According to a Geekbench listing, Samsung has chosen to opt for a MediaTek Dimensity chipset once again, similar to what was used in the Tab S10 series. Here’s everything to know about the new development.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra chipset was revealed through a Geekbench listing (via) which bears model number SM-X736B and appears to use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor. The Tab S10 Ultra used a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset and the S11 Ultra seems to be using the chipset’s successor.

The Dimensity 9400+ was annnounced earlier this year and is the most powerful mobile chip by MediaTek till date. The Dimensity 9400+ features an All Big Core design, integrating one Arm Cortex-X925 core operating up to 3.73GHz, combined with 3x Cortex-X4 and 4x Cortex-A720 cores. This powerful configuration accelerates single and multithreaded performance for top-tier Android UX experiences.

Equipped with the MediaTek NPU 890, the Dimensity 9400+ supports a wide range of LLMs across many regions around the world. The Chipset supports Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA), Multi-Token Prediction (MTP), and FP8 inferencing with faster reasoning speeds.

The Dimensity 9400+ integrates a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU, which enhances gaming visual experiences by bringing PC-level features to smartphones with opacity micromap (OMM) support for realistic effects. This makes video game elements—such as vegetation, hair or feathers—look more realistic and dimensional without impacting performance.

The Tab S10 series was announced in September last year so we can expect the company to debut the Tab S11 series around the same timeframe this year. The Tab S11 Ultra is also rumoured to pack a bigger battery than its predecessors.

As for news related to One UI, Samsung recently announced the One UI 8 Beta based on 16 for Galaxy S25 series which also went live in India earlier this week.

The official launch of One UI 8 will bring a smarter, more convenient experience, building on the advanced features first introduced with the Galaxy S25 series.
