OnePlus Nord 5 Gaming Features that Stand Out
OnePlus is pushing the boundaries of what a mid-range smartphone can offer in terms of gaming. Here are some highlights from its internal gaming tests:
- Stable 144fps frame rate on BGMI and CoDM
- Sustains performance for up to 5 hours
- Test conditions: 12GB RAM model, brightness at 280 nits, volume at 75dB
- Games tested at maximum graphics and frame rate settings
- Gaming modes enabled: Adaptive Frame Booster and Pro Gamer Mode (via OxygenOS)
This performance is made possible by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, even though Qualcomm’s newer Gen 4 version is already available. However, the Nord 5’s real-world capability may still impress many users.
