OnePlus 11 design

When it comes to design, the OnePlus 11 isn’t revolutionising anything, but there’s a marked upgrade over last year’s OnePlus 10 series. It does look sleeker, and the standout feature is the massive camera module at the back. This circular ‘chromed-out’ module is said to be inspired by black holes and is certainly hard to miss.

The screen dominates the front of the device, with just a small cut-out at the top-left corner for the selfie camera. The all-display front is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. It features dimensions of 163.1 × 74.1 × 8.53 mm and weighs in at 205 grams. OnePlus has revealed two colour options – black and green.

OnePlus 11 features, specifications

As for the OnePlus 11 specifications, the brand certainly seems to have thrown everything but the kitchen sink. It flaunts a 6.7in AMOLED display with 2K (3216 x 1440 pixels) resolution, 1,300 nits of peak brightness, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and lastly 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood is Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. With all this power comes thermal issues, and to tackle that, OnePlus is offering a cooling system that includes a vapour chamber, diamond thermal gel, and a new-gen graphite.

For photography, it’s no surprise that OnePlus 11 cameras have again been tuned by Hasselblad. At the back is a triple-camera setup, which includes a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS support, 48MP ultra wide-angle lens, and a 32MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. Up front hidden in the punch-hole is a 16MP selfie snapper.

The smartphone is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging. In line with recent rumors, OnePlus is also introducing a new 100W fast-charging adapter with dual ports and USB-PD support. A news that will no doubt please hardcore OnePlus fans, the Alert Slider makes a return on the OnePlus 11.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2

Alongside the latest OnePlus smartphone, we also see the next-gen OnePlus TWS. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 features ‘MelodyBoost Dual Drivers’, co-created with audio specialist Dynaudio. Essentially what you get is a 11mm driver for low frequency sound, and a separate 6mm driver for mids and highs. The drivers are accompanied by OnePlus’ own algorithm that promises spatial audio.
