Four months after the OnePlus 10T’s release, here we have with us the OnePlus 11. The good news is that it is better and cheaper too.
With the OnePlus 11, you will be getting yourself a large 6-7-inch 2K display with LTPO3 AMOLED screen with high 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HRD10+ and very high brightness. This makes for a really enjoyable viewing experience while watching movies or just a simple browsing of the internet.
Under the hood of the OnePlus 11 is right up there in high performance territory. Sporting the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and paired with a very fast octa-core processor, the best Adreno 740 graphics and either 12GB or 16GB of memory; there’s just nothing that this flagship can’t run smoothly enough.
But what’s the use of all that power if you can’t have fun with it right? Remember that this is a smartphone, so the camera department is playing an important role as well.
With the OnePlus 11, you get loads of fun with its 50MP+32MP+48MP triple primary camera setup with Hasselblad partnership that lets you take very beautiful looking high-res photos with it. Then there’s the 16MP selfie camera making the package complete.
Storage-wise, you get to choose either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. With no expansion slot, just make do with what your budget permits. 256GB is indeed a lot these days.
With a 5000 mAh battery supplying the necessary juice to the OnePlus 11, you can easily go up to two days with a single charge. Even then, the 100W fast battery charging will get it up to 100% in just 25 minutes. How fast is that?
Finally, the dual-sim capability, 5G connectivity and the latest Android 13 operating system makes for great value.
Conclusion:
OnePlus 11 is coming in at the right time as there’s still very little options for the latest flagship offerings with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets. With an option up to 16GB RAM, great 50MP triple primary camera setup with Hasselblad partnership, you won’t go wrong with this one. And did we mention that the price is very attractive?
OnePlus 11 is slated for a release on January 9th 2023 with an estimated price tag of 3,999 Chinese Yuan or ~579 USD for the 256GB internal storage + 12GB RAM variant, 4,399 Chinese Yuan or ~639 USD for the 256GB internal storage + 16GB RAM variant and 4,899 Chinese Yuan or ~709 USD for the 512GB internal storage + 16GB RAM variant.
