Over the past couple of years there have been questions and confusion over OnePlus’ evolving brand image. Once the plucky upstart with phenomenally good phones for the money, OnePlus is now fully a sub-brand of Oppo, launching all manner of devices.
Its flagship for 2023 is the OnePlus 11. The Pro naming is gone, but the spirit remains.

I can't believe T mobile won't be carrying this one dang it 😂
Good phone, but shame it doesn't have IP68, wireless charging, more colours instead of only 2 available.
Also i which Flagship would change to flat screen, Instead of curve screen and I am sure that they can save money and customer would love using flatscreen.
And also come with a big memory like the S23 Ultra.
$550-$600 would have been the right price for this OnePlus 11.
850€ in Europe 😵💫
No wireless charging, no iP certification, USB-C 2.0 in 2023 when the OnePlus 7 had USB-C 3.0, a ×2 zoom that does not work in video, FHD 30 selfie camera not stabilized…
Unless it comes with earbuds or other gifts, as much as I don't like the Pixel 7s, it will be difficult for the OnePlus 11 on the Western market, especially since in addition this year the Galaxy S23s have the 8 Gen 2 everywhere, and thanks to Samsung's promotions and offers the S23s actually come back to customers at $200-$300 cheaper than their official price,without even mentioning the offers of the communication houses (AT&T, Verizon, Orange…) in collaboration with Samsung.
And I haven't even mentioned Apple yet with its iPhone 13s which are almost iPhone 14s and have dropped in price.
And on the Asian market and especially in India, there are brands like Motorola with its much better equipped and cheaper Edge 40.
What a pricing 😁😁🤣
You can buy a pixel 6 or S23 or iphone 13 for this price with more spec
Wallpapers are amazing? Plz drop a link for those wallpapers?
I got the 16gb version for £729, and the new buds for free. Good deal I think. Oneplus needs to do more to attract carriers. I think a lot of people would be drawn to it in shops and online.
For those asking – pretty much every wallpaper I use in all the videos come from the Backdrops app on the Play Store. (Available on the App Store too for iPhone users).
11 is a starter level premium phone. The Pro 10 is a better phone.
Does it feel as premium as apple, samsung?
It is really not shocking that this phone does not have wireless charging. OnePlus is trying to get back to their roots by designing flagship killers and not actual flagships. By definition, flagship killers are all about power, speed and overall performance. To that end, they pair away gimmicky features like wireless charging in favor of a high-end processor, incredible memory and advanced charging technology. Combine that with amazing build quality and a low price and you have yourself an amazing flagship killer. This is also why they have announced that there will be no pro model this year. Besides, who really cares about slow gimmicky wireless charging when you can have 80 watt fast charging?
As far as the IP rating is concerned, they do build every phone to be the equivalent of an IP68 rating. However, they do not want to pay for the certification because, it will drive the price point of the device up. Obviously, at a higher price it would definitely have a negative effect on their purpose of being a flagship killer.
I really feel the cameras on the 11 will improve after The software updates start rolling out. The 10 Pro went through the same transformation and was amazing after the software updated. It's just a matter of dialing it in.
I just ordered my 16 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage tighten black variant factory unlocked on Amazon yesterday. I can't wait until it's delivered on February the 20th.
Could somebody give me this phone. I'm in love with it.
