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.

This digital tool enables users to utilize new and existing content, making it easy to create instructional materials. It contains rich shared resources, including user-generated lessons, assignments, and exams. Furthermore, its assessment tools aid teachers in more efficiently annotating and grading student responses. It also includes data and analytic functions for tracking student progress and identifying learning gaps.
LMS oversight is more complex than it appears. Apart from the country’s challenges with Internet connectivity, some people may need more technical expertise to use this kind of system. However, this is manageable with Schoology because it is easy to navigate, user-friendly, and has a broader reach.
Moreover, Schoology is the only LMS with a built-in collaboration feature, connecting everyone to the same network to improve communication and sharing in the classroom, throughout the institution, and even globally. It makes linking apps, materials, and systems easier, allowing any institution’s system or requirements to run and be monitored more seamlessly. Additionally, using its mobile application, any student or teacher can access resources, classes, assignments, and discussions no matter where they are.
As witnessed, especially in the last three years, learning management systems are becoming increasingly crucial in helping teachers and learners manage, plan, deliver, and track the learning process. Therefore, selecting the best system, such as Schoology, is vital to meet everyone’s needs and assist schools, teachers, and learners in achieving their goals.
The country has reopened schools recently and returned to a face-to-face learning modality. Despite this, it is safe to conclude that some pandemic breakthroughs, such as online learning, are here to stay. After all, Schoology is not a replacement for physical classrooms but rather a tool to aid learning strategies, provide flexibility to accommodate more students and strengthen the educational system.

Fresh off the success of viral hit “Unang Sayaw,” Filipino pop-rock outfit NOBITA continues to smash out of the gate with another song with commercial potential.
Their new single “Paruparo Na Walang Hanggan” plays on the band’s musical strengths, blending deeply personal lyrics with soulful, harmony-laden arrangements. Like their previous releases, NOBITA’s latest song hits home with vulnerability that people can relate to.
“Paruparo Na Walang Hanggan is a song for someone who continues to believe in love, no matter the struggles they may have experienced in the past,” the chart-topping band shares in a statement. “The main hook and most of the melodic lines just came out spontaneously during one of our rehearsals for an event. It felt like we just vomited it subconsciously.”
While it’s a love song to the core, “Paruparo Na Walang Hanggan” embraces a more intricate sonic direction, going as far as adding layers of choir-like elements, sparse keyboard textures, and bluesy chords to create something slightly out of the ordinary. Isagani Palabyab, their constant collaborator, co-produced the track and helped redefine its kundiman sensibilities with a modern flair.
NOBITA adds, “We take pride in making songs that the audience can feel what we feel and remember easily the melody and lyrics of the song when they first hear it. We’re grateful to Isagani for encapsulating this vision into something memorable and subtle, and still giving off that familiar sound of ours.”
The song will be included in the setlist for their upcoming 6-city tour in the US, which kicks off in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 11 and wraps up in Fairfax, Virginia on August 26. Tickets are available at www.ToggleSwitchPH.com.
For more information about the tour, check out the details below:
August 11: Las Vegas, NV (The Usual Place)
August 12: Los Angeles, CA (The Vermont Hollywood)
August 18: Seattle, WA (Substation Seattle)
August 19: San Francisco, CA (The Historic Bal Theater)
August 25: New York, NY (Sounds of Brazil)
August 26: Fairfax, VA (Jammin Java)
NOBITA’s “Paruparo Na Walang Hanggan” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
Today, multi-talented viral artist, songwriter, and GRAMMY®-nominated producer JVKEcelebrates hitting 1 billion streams for the all-conquering global hit “golden hour” with a brand-new remix featuring the multi award-winning P-Pop boy group SB19, out now via AWAL.
Produced by JVKE, “golden hour” is a classic love song that highlights his ability to articulate the feelings of romance and beauty through his lyrics. The vivid imagery is backed by a complex instrumental arrangement of a piano and strings that builds throughout the track. The remix of “golden hour” combines SB19’s incredible vocal harmonies with JVKE’s trademark production style, creating a stunning new bi-lingual version in Filipino and English.
On the release of “golden hour”, JVKE shared, “This might just be my favourite song i’ve ever written. It feels like a pause in time, with all your attention on that special someone. the sun is shining… it’s your golden hour. I wanted to capture the emotion that you feel when you see something beautiful. That feeling is golden hour.”
Speaking on the remix SB19 noted,“It’s always fun collaborating with another artist – just like how it is when we, as members of a group, collaborate with each other. But it’s something else when there’s a collaboration of two cultures, which is what happened when we collaborated with JVKE. It’s really special how the embedded culture in each of us affects how we write songs and how we portray our experiences in a song, and we’re glad that we’re able to include some parts of our Filipino culture in this song.
JVKE added, “SB19 are crazy talented. As an artist, when I open my art to others so they can add their own interpretation, I never know how im going to feel about what they contribute. With SB19, I was just blown away. I hope this isn’t that last time we work together.”
The original “golden hour” is already a smash hit single worldwide having amassed over 1 billion streams along with over 3 billion views across YouTube, TikTok & Instagram, a #1 spot on the Global Spotify viral chart and hit Top 20 on the Billboard Global chart. The track has also been flying high on radio airwaves around the globe including Top 10 on the U.S. Top 40 radio airplay chart. “golden hour” also hit Top 50 on the global Shazam chart, alongside official single charts in U.S., U.K., Germany, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand, while also hitting #1 on both Shazam and Spotify charts in Malaysia and Singapore. “golden hour” is now certified Platinum in the US, Double Platinum in Australia, Gold in New Zealand and Silver in the U.K.
Cumulatively, JVKE has amassed over 2 billion career streams, an awe-inspiring 35 billion views of his music across social media along with an ever growing global audience of over 23 million followers. JVKE’s 2020 breakthrough smash “Upside Down” generated over 200 million streams to date and 15 million TikTok video creations and spawned a Charlie Puth remix. His 2021 follow up track “this is what falling in love feels like” launched his career into the stratosphere, amassing over 390 million streams and 45 million views and reaching #33 U.S. Top 40 Radio. Last year JVKE recently released his stunning debut album, “this is what____ feels like (Vol. 1-4)”, a collection of songs written, produced, engineered and recorded by JVKE and his brother ZVC that experiments with production, time signatures, tuning and style to create a truly unique listening experience.
JVKE also currently features on the international hit single “Angel” from the Fast X soundtrack alongside Charlie Puth, Jimin from BTS, Muni Long, Kodak Black and NLE Choppa.
JVKE has also featured as MTV PUSH global artist and appears prominently in the trending VOX documentary “We tracked what happens after TikTok songs go viral”. In addition to what the piece portrays, JVKE has been able to stand out amongst his peers and cut through the virality to establish himself as a true multifaceted artist on the rise.
SB19 is a multi-awarded five-member group from the Philippines composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin. The “SB” in SB19 stands for “Sound Break,” which represents their aspirations of disrupting the music scene and bringing Filipino music and culture onto the international stage.

They are also the first Filipino act to land on the international Billboard Social 50, Next Big Sound Charts, and also remarkably hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Trending Songs with “Bazinga”.
