OnePlus launched the 11 in February 2023, dropping the Pro label and repositioning its main flagship at a lower price of Rs 56,999. It brought back the alert slider, introduced a large circular camera island, and promised four years of Android upgrades, a notable improvement in OnePlus support policy at the time.
Performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is excellent and much cooler than the previous year's 8 Gen 1. The 6.7-inch LTPO3 AMOLED at 1440p is bright and fluid. The camera system pairs a 50 MP Sony IMX890 main, a 48 MP ultrawide and a 32 MP 2x portrait telephoto, tuned with Hasselblad, and portraits are a highlight. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 100 W, although wireless charging was dropped.
Rivals included the Samsung Galaxy S23, the iPhone 14, the iQOO 11 and the Vivo X90. The Galaxy S23 was smaller and offered wireless charging and an IP68 rating, while the OnePlus 11 had a bigger screen, faster wired charging and a lower price. Its IP64 rating and lack of wireless charging were the main compromises.
