Design and Display
The OnePlus 11 is the successor to both the OnePlus 10T and 10 Pro, as there is no Pro model this year.The phone weighs over 200 grams but doesn’t feel heavy.
The back panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and is quite reflective.The display is a curved 6.7-inch LTP03 AMOLED with a QHD resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Victus protection.
The third-generation LPTO tech adaptive refresh rate is more energy efficient. The 120Hz will dial down to 105 or 1 Hz depending on the screen brightness.The OnePlus 11 was able to achieve 490 nits with the manual slider and 770 nits in auto mode when bright sun.
Oxygen OS 13 and Interface
Oxygen OS 13 runs on top of Android 13, and it’s not the near-stock Android experience.The notification shade has custom shapes and arrangement of toggles.
The ability to place an app into a floating window for multitasking purposes.
The smart sidebar is a convenient place within which you can store shortcuts.The icon pull-down gesture can make apps compress and come right to your finger for easy one-handed access.The alert slider doesn’t have customization options.
Chipset and Performance
The new model packs new flagship silicon from Qualcomm the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.The chipset provides considerably higher CPU performance and efficiency, and the GPU performance is much improved.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 supports new faster memory Technologies LP DDR5X and UFS 4.0.The OnePlus 11 holds its own against other recent phones that are running on the same chipset.
The phone has an advanced passive cooling system, and the thermal management is quite respectable.There was hardly any throttling throughout the prolonged stress test.
Battery and Charging
The OnePlus 11 has a 5,000 milliamp-hour battery, just like the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the battery life here is comparable too.The global version of OnePlus 11 supports 100-watt fast charging, but the US versions are 80 Watts.
With the bundled adapter, the phone charged from zero to 100 percent in just 22 minutes.There is no wireless charging, though, which you did get on the OnePlus 10 Pro.
Camera
The OnePlus 11 brings a 50-megapixel main cam, a 32-megapixel telephoto with two times zoom, and a 48-megapixel ultrawide cam which has autofocus.The main camera’s photos come out at 12.5 megapixels by default.
Portraits can be taken with either the main cam or the telephoto, which OnePlus actually markets as a portrait camera.It’s nice to have a telephoto camera, which last year’s OnePlus 10T didn’t have.
The ultra-wide shoots excellent photos, maintains a similar Hasselblad vibe to the other two cameras, and there’s plenty of sharp detail for this sort of cam.The main cam resolves more detail and produces more likable colors.The noise is low, and dynamic range is great as well.
Camera quality
Pleasant colors, plenty of detail, and consistent results
Night mode processing automatically used in low light conditions.Virtually the same results whether in default or night mode
Excellent photos with sharpness, low noise, and great dynamic range.Exposure is balanced without excessive brightening
Zooming at night in default mode results in less detail and extra sharpening
Ultra-wide camera also gets night mode processing with vivid colors and true-to-life exposure.
Selfies have plenty of detail, vivid colors, good contrast, and wide dynamic range even in backlit scenes.Main camera can record up to 8K resolution at 24 FPS with wider dynamic range and more consistent exposure than last year.4K video has excellent details and sharp colors with wide dynamic range and consistent white balance.
Telephoto camera can only shoot video in up to 1080p at 30 FPS and quality doesn’t hold up to other cameras, but still provides decent contrast, dynamic range, and enough detail
4K footage from the ultra-wide camera looks just as good as the main camera with plenty of detail, good contrast, and punchy colors.
