With the OnePlus 11, OnePlus is simplifying its flagship portfolio by revealing just a single flagship for 2023, one without the now customary "Pro" moniker.
The OnePlus 11 mostly brings performance improvements in comparison with the OnePlus 10-series, helmed by the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, the current best chip for Android flagships that finally catches up to Apple's silicon in many areas.
What's more, the OnePlus 11 comes with up to 16GB of RAM, as well as the beloved triple Hasselblad camera setup. Moreover, it's priced incredibly well, thus positioning itself excellently against its main rivals.
We are not yet certain if OnePlus will release another version of the OnePlus 11 in late 2023; chances are that a proverbial OnePlus 11T could be announced alongside the already confirmed OnePlus Open foldable phone. The new generational refresh, the OnePlus 12 is also here, and so is our full review. Aside from that one, you can also get the OnePlus 12R.

OnePlus 11 review
OnePlus 11 review - The OnePlus 11 generally impressed us with its superb performance, good camera quality, very fast charging, and finally, exceptionally competitive pricing.
There are currently two OnePlus 11 colors. Both of these are quite different in not just look but feel, with OnePlus describing the green one as offering a smooth and glossy glass back, while the granular glass black variant appears a bit more matted and less reflective. OnePlus also assures that the latter will show no fingerprints.

What is the OnePlus 11 battery capacity?
The OnePlus 11 battery is a large 5,000mAh size, which has become a standard with Android flagship phones recently.
In the US, the phone will be outfitted with an 80W SuperVOOC charger, while the rest of the world will enjoy a more impressive 100W charging solution that should cut a few minutes from the charging times of the flagship. Don't fret, OnePlus that even with the 80W charger, you should see the OnePlus 11 get fully charged in just 27 minutes, a great result.
Sadly, wireless charging seems to have been dropped from the hardware loadout, so you're left with wired charging. Not that we have anything against that, as the phone charges so fast with traditional wired charging that it leaves behind all of its competitors available on the US market.
What are the OnePlus 11 camera specs?
The OnePlus 11 camera utilizes a triple layout, much like most of its predecessors. there is a triple, third-gen Hasselblad-powered camera setup at the back of OnePlus' latest flagship phone. The OnePlus 11 is packing the following camera specs:
50MP main shooter, Sony IMX890 sensor, f/1.8 aperture
48MP ultra-wide, Sony IMX581 sensor
32MP 2X zoom lens, Sony IMX709 sensor
16MP front cam, ISOCELL 3P9 (S5K3P9) sensor
The main and ultra-wide cameras are now a pretty standard business, but we rarely see a 2X zoom lens given that everyone is now moving past 3X and beyond, so that's definitely surprising. OnePlus has dubbed this one a "portrait lens", and it's exactly that, giving aspiring photographers a 50mm-ish field of view, close to what the human eye sees, a perfect field of view for portrait shots.
However, at the same time, only having only a 2X lens means that long-range zoom won't be quite as good as on other flagships, lagging behind the latest Galaxy S23, the iPhone 14 Pro, and numerous other flagships coming straight from China that pack some serious zooming power, most way above 10X.
There are some pretty decent promotions and deals on the phone right now, allowing you to save big. Feel free to check out our routinely updated OnePlus 11 deals round-up vailable right now.
