OnePlus has done it again. They not only gave us the OnePlus 11 5G, a potent and versatile flagship device, but they also kept the pricing of the device competitive in the high-end market.

In general terms, the OnePlus 11 isn’t a massive upgrade, and with a lack of a full IP rating and wireless charging it’s even a bit of a downgrade in some respects. If you’ve got less than £750 to spend on your next phone, though, then the OnePlus 11 will handle more or less everything – including...

OnePlus came out of the 2023 gate hot, with a new flagship phone release as early as ever in the OnePlus 11. This is the phone that will take them through most of 2023 as a replacement for last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro, even if that “Pro” branding has apparently been sunset for the time being. This...

The OnePlus 11 is a solid phone offering a lot of performance, battery life and very fast charging for the money but otherwise struggles to stand out in the crowd. It is well made, feels nice and is narrower than its rivals, so is a little easier to hold despite being a big phone.

Pros: Slick performance, decent software with five years of updates, long battery life and longevity, 23-minute full charge, great screen, reasonable price.

Cons: camera not best-in-class, only 2x optical zoom, only splash resistant, divisive design, no wireless charging, only bi-monthly security updates not monthly.

This is going to be hard to hear, but it needs to be said: you’ll never see a modern OnePlus flagship that has the same price as the brand’s first devices. Because of inflation, cost of manufacturing, and other expenses, the insane price-to-performance ratios that the OnePlus 3 and similar devices...

The OnePlus 11 is an affordable pick for buyers who want something unique, and offers a more artistic take on smartphone photography. Its lack of durability is a bit worrisome, though.

Unique photography features, Smooth performance all around, Clean and simple interface

Glossy and slippery, No IP68 water resistance, Camera array isn't versatile

With the OnePlus 11, the manufacturer stripped a few features down, left us with all the essentials, but does them very well. The latest flagship has a stunning display, speedy performance and a decent camera system.

Fantastic, bright display with smooth refresh, Software is customisable and bloat-free, Strong triple camera system, Super fast charging

Questions over glass durability, seems to scratch easily, Photo results from camera often contrast-heavy/dark, No wireless charging

Flagship-grade tech at a palatable price - the OnePlus formula continues to work wonders

Exceptional performance and great battery life, Beautiful display and punchy speakers, Cameras take high quality pics in most conditions

No wireless charging a backwards step, Camera zoom abilities limited

Charging speed has long been one of OnePlus' primary selling points. As other OEMs have made only modest progress here, OnePlus keeps pushing the envelope. Last year, it released the 10T with incredible 120W charging .

OnePlus never seems to disappoint in offering its fanbase consistent refreshes of phones. The latest to enter the lineup is the OnePlus 11 5G. This new addition to the company’s portfolio shows that OnePlus has moved somewhat away from a total disruptor to a polished phone maker.
