OnePlus Launches OnePlus Nord 3 5G: a Mid-Range Phone with the Heart of a Flagship

Global mobile technology brand OnePlus today revealed the OnePlus Nord 3 5G, a midrange phone packed with top of the range technology which gives its users pretty much everything they could ask for. 

“OnePlus Nord products are all about combining industry-leading features with industry-challenging prices, so I’m excited people will be able to experience OnePlus Nord 3 5G very soon,” said Kinder Liu, OnePlus President and COO. "With its combination of powerful performance, beautiful design, fast and smooth software and attractive price, OnePlus Nord 3 5G truly embodies our commitment to give our users the best possible experience."

 

OnePlus Nord 3 5G is the most powerful OnePlus Nord phone ever, combining blazing fast performance with dazzling photography and a beautiful and timeless OnePlus design. 

 

An elegant and understated work of art

OnePlus Nord 3 5G has been designed to help you stand out in any situation and features a pure, eye-catching design complete with an IP54 rating. At the front of the phone is a beautifully flat 6.74 inch 120Hz Super Fluid AMOLED display with 450 pixels per inch and up to 1450 nits of brightness, meaning whatever you’re looking at will look amazing, wherever you are. The screen is surrounded by some of the smallest bezels on any smartphone, measuring just 1.46mm on each side of the screen and 2.31mm below it, and without the black plastic surround often seen on mid-range smartphones. This gives OnePlus Nord 3 5G a seamless feel and a screen to body ratio of 93.5%. 

 

The sides of the phone, measuring just 8.15mm, contain the legendary OnePlus Alert Slider as well as dual stereo speakers that feature Dirac drivers and are Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos certified equipped, giving ground-pounding sound to go with the ground-breaking visuals.

 

At the rear of the OnePlus Nord 3 is its flagship-level camera, encased in a timeless design which looks spectacular in 1 available colourway. Misty Green feels flawlessly smooth in the hand and comes with a glossy glass texture. 

 

Flagship level hardware 

OnePlus Nord 3 5G’s powerful performance makes itself known as soon as you turn it on. At the heart of the OnePlus Nord 3 5G is the 4 nanometre octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, chosen for its combination of superior speed and brilliant battery life management. Compared to OnePlus Nord 2T 5G, Dimensity 9000 gives the new Nord 42.9% better CPU performance and a massive 58.6% GPU performance increase, making it a gaming titan, running graphically intensive games like a dream. Plus, thanks to MediaTek's power and energy efficiency technology and OnePlus’s own GPA Frame Rate Stabiliser and HyperTouch engine, OnePlus Nord 3 5G gives a smooth gaming experience while responding instantly to your commands. OnePlus has also given OnePlus Nord 3 5G 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM which, combined with OnePlus's RAM-Vita software, means the phone can keep up to 44 apps alive at the same time.  

 

OnePlus Nord 3 5G can also keep itself alive for an extended period thanks to its battery management and SUPERVOOC charging system. After listening to its community, OnePlus has equipped the OnePlus Nord 3 5G with a 5000 mAh battery - more than 10% bigger than that found in the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. It also comes with Battery Health Engine to give an expected lifecycle of up to 1600 charging cycles, the equivalent of fully charging - and fully discharging - the phone’s battery every single day for more than four years. OnePlus Nord 3 5G also features 80W SUPERVOOC charging, taking the battery from 1-100% in half an hour, and has a bespoke charging management chip to ensure that your phone charges super fast while remaining super safe and super cool. 

 

Also helping keep the phone cool is the flagship-level cooling system, measuring 4129.88mm2, featuring high performance graphite technology and a large vapor chamber.

 

Perfect imaging in any situation

OnePlus Nord 3 5G is a photography powerhouse and features some of the same imaging hardware and software seen in the smash hit OnePlus 11 5G flagship device launched earlier this year. 

 

The main camera sensor on OnePlus Nord 3 5G is the OnePlus 11 5G’s 50-megapixel Sony IMX890, complete with optical image stabilization, tuned to give great imaging results every time. And when the light level gets low, OnePlus Nord 3 5G also comes complete with TurboRAW Night, a OnePlus-developed algorithm which makes for stunning night time photography by taking multiple photos in an instant and using AI to reduce noise, increase brightness and combine them into one amazing shot.

 

OnePlus Nord 3 5G doesn’t just steal its photography smarts from the OnePlus 11 5G. It also uses its MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset to work its own wonders, including having a fast camera start up and reducing the time from turning on to taking your first shot. The Dimensity 9000 chipset combined with OnePlus’s OxygenOS software also results in a reduced delay in previewing photos and even allows the OnePlus Nord 3 5G to support 4K 60 frames per second videography, a first for the OnePlus Nord range. 

 

Legendary Fast and Smooth user experience, for longer

OnePlus Nord 3 5G also benefits from OnePlus’s extreme focus on giving users a fast and smooth experience when they use their phones. The phone launches with OxygenOS 13.1, the latest version of OnePlus’s operating system, which gives a 40% reduction in application power consumption and 15% faster app installation than OxygenOS 12. OnePlus has also listened to its community and will ensure Nord 3 5G will also receive three major Android software updates and a full four years of security updates which, when combined with the TÜV SÜD 48-Month Fluency A rating, means that OnePlus Nord 3 5G will be just as good to use in four years as it is today.  

 

Pricing and availability

OnePlus Nord 3 5G will be available in the Philippines starting July 14 in a 16GB+256GB  Misty Green variant. Stay tuned for more details.

How Samsung's 2023 Flagship TVs Bring More Wow Into The Homes of Erwan Heussaff, Doug Kramer, and Alodia Gosiengfiao-Quimbo

Filipinos continue to spruce up their home and living spaces, maximizing each room for maximum enjoyment and use. And with a lot of on-demand entertainment now made more accessible, a family’s home entertainment system has evolved from just being a device to watch movies and series with to a multipurpose and flexible device.

This is why there is now an increasing interest in building personal home theaters – with celebrities and personalities leveling up their home entertainment systems and showing the results on social media. 

And with Samsung, this is made more innovative and exciting. Samsung remains the leader in the TV segment with unparalleled picture quality and mind-blowing sound, and is bringing more wow to the TV experience. The 2023 Neo QLED, Samsung OLED, and updated Q Soundbar are set to redefine premium viewing and continue Samsung’s unsurpassed streak as the #1 global TV brand.

Samsung launched this next-gen home entertainment lineup at the More Wow Than Ever event and guests immersed themselves in a world of premium entertainment like never before at experience pods. The brand also took the opportunity to introduce three ambassadors who personify the Samsung holistic entertainment experience.

Building an epic home theater with a fully immersive entertainment experience

Doug Kramer is known as a family and sports fan, but many are not aware that he is also a huge tech fan. Over the last few years, the husband, father, and digital content creator has built his own home theater with the top of the line entertainment system and Samsung now brings more wow to his third home theater with the Neo QLED 8K TV.

Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TV is a game-changer allowing Doug Kramer to see every detail and feel every moment like never before.

“When I built the Kramer home theater, I wanted to give our family movie nights the optimal experience. Watching movies together is one of our favorite pastimes, and it’s important for me to spend quality time together, especially as the kids get older,” he says.

Kramer enjoys the cinematic perfection the Neo QLED 8K TV brings to his home, which he says is even better than going to a movie theater. The first-class screen boasts the highest resolution available in the market. This brings life-like colors, textures, and details, transporting the Kramers right into the action. Its Mini LED technology offers exceptional contrast and precision, making blacks deeper and whites brighter. The lighting guarantees clarity and accuracy, even in the most explosive blockbuster scenes.

The cinematic experience is complemented by the updated Q Soundbar with wireless Dolby Atmos. Its rich, cinematic sound transforms the room into a movie theater or live concert venue with the power of up to 22 speakers working at once. The complete entertainment setup of the Neo QLED 8K plus Q Soundbar lets Kramer see, hear, and feel every scene.

Building memories and connecting with family through a world of content

Erwan Heussaff is a creative maverick who champions food, travel, and Filipino culture. He is exposed to a world of content and this expanded further with his growing family. Now, he turns up the wow and connects with his family through watching films with the Samsung Neo QLED TV.

For Erwan Heussaff, there’s nothing quite like being able to access a world of content with ease through Samsung Neo QLED’s Smart Hub, a feature that intuitively curates what’s next on the watchlist for every single person in his household.

“Before having [my daughter], I watched a lot of action movies and travel documentaries. Now we have to compromise a bit at home. Having Dahlia diversified the content we watch, and truthfully, it’s amazing how Samsung gives us access to a world of content that we can watch as individuals, as a couple, and as a family,” says Heussaff.

The creator and his family use the Samsung Neo QLED’s Smart Hub, which gathers everyone’s favorite content in one the place. The curation of titles is intuitive, taking the guesswork out of selecting what to watch so Heussaff can spend more time with his family.

Picture quality is always next level as Samsung upscales all types of content to 4K. EyeComfort Mode also automatically adjusts the picture’s brightness and colors depending on the environment to lessen eye strain, an important feature for growing families. 

Building legendary entertainment experiences at home for gaming and beyond

Alodia Gosiengfiao-Quimbo defeats her opponents in style as the country’s best-known cosplayer and e-sports gamer. She brings the wow every time with a premium gaming setup by Samsung.

As someone who’s serious about gaming, Alodia Gosiengfiao-Quimbo is a believer in Samsung’s OLED TV which not only provides immersive, life-like visuals but also features an impressive 144Hz refresh rate.

“I’m happy that the gaming industry has flourished throughout the years. Gamers can now pursue this career full-time. With that in mind, they have to level up their gaming gear. I’m happy that Samsung provided these top-level gaming TVs,” she shares.

Gosiengfiao-Quimbo triumphs over challenges with Samsung’s latest addition to its TV lineup: the OLED TV. As games continue to refine their graphics, Samsung exceeds expectations with innovations like the Neural Quantum Processor 4K. This ensures that every detail has breathtaking clarity and depth with perfect blacks and infinite contrast.

The gamer remains undefeated with the Samsung OLED TV’s 144HZ refresh rate. This means a lightning-quick response time with unnoticeable low input lag, resulting in smooth gameplay and realistic and fluid motion.

It’s no wonder that top creators like Doug Kramer, Erwan Heussaff, and Alodia Gosiengfiao-Quimbo choose Samsung for their personal home entertainment. They expect a certain standard that only the #1 global TV brand can bring.
