Following a January introduction in China, the OnePlus 11 has finally been released globally, answering critical questions such as how much it costs and when and where you can buy it.
All of that information is available below, along with comprehensive specifications, design, and feature details for the OnePlus 11.
This gadget appears to be one of the best OnePlus phones ever, with a top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU, a fresh design, improved cameras, and more. Our complete OnePlus 11 review is also available, so you can see how it performs in practice, but keep reading for all the stats and on-paper details.
Let’s get right to the point
- What exactly is it? OnePlus’ flagship phone for 2023.
- When will it be available? On sale on February 16th, after being announced on February 7th.
- What will it cost? Prices begin at $699 / ₹ 56,999 (about AU$1,010).
Price and availability of the OnePlus 11
The OnePlus 11 went global on February 7 (after a China-only launch on January 9). It was despatched on February 16th.
The OnePlus 11 starts at $699 / ₹ 56,999 (about AU$1,010) for a model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There’s also a $799 / ₹ 56,999 (about AU$1,155) version with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. OnePlus, on the other hand, does not sell its phones in Australia.
It’s worth noting that other variants, including one with 512GB of storage, are available in China, but just the two options listed above have gone global.
In any event, those pricing make the OnePlus 11 less expensive than the OnePlus 10 Pro, which launched at $899 / ₹ 56,999 (approximately AU$1,300). That’s wonderful news given that the OnePlus 11 is essentially a Pro handset.
To sweeten the bargain even further, anyone who pre-ordered a OnePlus 11 received a free gift, which included a Bang & Olufsen Speaker or a set of OnePlus Buds Pro 2, both of which were introduced alongside the phone.
The design and display of the OnePlus 11
To begin, it’s important mentioning that there is now only one OnePlus 11 model, the OnePlus 11 5G, which has features comparable to a Pro model. So a separate OnePlus 11 Pro is doubtful, while a OnePlus 11T may be released later in 2023.
In any event, the OnePlus 11 boasts a new round stainless steel camera module, but it otherwise looks like the OnePlus 10 Pro, with an Eternal Green or Titan Black glass back, a metal frame, and a punch-hole camera in the screen.
The black hue is supposed to be inspired by black holes, while the green color is said to be inspired by a dusk jungle. On March 29, OnePlus took the cosmic theme a step further by introducing the OnePlus 11 Jupiter Rock edition. This limited edition variant is exclusively available in China and India and is made of a different material than the worldwide OnePlus 11. The phone is built using 3D microcrystalline rock and fully new tooling methods, according to the business.
The phone measures 163.1 x 74.1 x 8.53mm and weighs 205g, and it has the company’s characteristic alert slider. The OnePlus 11’s display, like its predecessor, is a 6.7-inch 120Hz 1440 x 3216 fluid AMOLED. It features a resolution of 525 pixels per inch and an aspect ratio of 20.1:9.
While it can reach 120Hz, it can also go as low as 1Hz when a high refresh rate isn’t required, such as when employing the always-on display option. The screen is additionally protected with Gorilla Glass Victus, making it long-lasting.
Camera and battery of the OnePlus 11
The OnePlus 11 features a triple-lens rear camera with a 50MP f/1.8 IMX890 main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 48MP f/2.2 IMX581 ultra-wide sensor (with a 115-degree field of view), and a 32MP f/2.0 IMX709 portrait lens with 2x optical zoom, allowing for DSLR-quality portraits, according to the company.
That’s a different setup from last year, with the portrait lens replacing the telephoto lens and the sensors being different.
The cameras here, like the OnePlus 10 Pro, have Hasselblad name and technology, but there’s also a new 13-channel multi-spectral sensor for light-color detection, which should improve color accuracy.
Video can be recorded in up to 8K resolution at 24fps or 4K resolution at 60fps, and there’s a 16MP f/2.4 selfie camera.
The OnePlus 11 sports a 5,000mAh battery with 100W charging, which allows for a full charge in just 25 minutes.
OnePlus 11 specifications and features
The OnePlus 11 should be an extremely strong phone because it has the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which should give a 35% CPU improvement, a 25% GPU improvement, and improved power efficiency over the previous generation.
There’s also a sizable 8GB or 16GB of RAM, as well as a sophisticated RAM management system, which OnePlus claims improves multitasking and gaming performance. On the phone, up to 44 apps can be active at the same time.
You should be able to push the OnePlus 11 hard as well, thanks to its Cryo-velocity VC Cooling System, which seeks to keep it cool during extended gameplay and other heavy use.
The OnePlus 11 has a storage capacity of 128GB or 256GB. There’s also an under-display fingerprint sensor, two speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and it runs Android 13 with OxygenOS 13.
The OnePlus 11 will also be supported for an extended period of time, as it will receive four major Android updates as well as five years of security fixes. It’s the first OnePlus phone to have that level of support, but it won’t be the last, as the firm has stated that “select devices launched in 2023 and beyond” will receive it.
