OnePlus 11R 5G Solar Red is back in a new, more affordable variant

OnePlus has been launching new devices in the OnePlus 12 series this year, but it has also been making changes to the older 11-series lineup. The popular OnePlus 11R Solar Red is one such example. Available originally in just a single 18GB RAM/512GB storage variant, the phone is now available in a new, cheaper edition.

The new OnePlus 11R 5G Solar Red is now available in an 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant. Everything else about the device is the same as the previous Solar Red edition. This means, buyers get the same design, the same specifications and features, but at a lower price.

The phone also comes with a 5,000mAh battery, with 100W fast wired charging. Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers.

OnePlus 11R 5G Solar Red: Pricing and availability

The OnePlus 11R 5G Solar Red (8GB/128GB) is priced at Rs 35,999 in India. However, since the Solar Red variant is available in only one storage configuration, you can also consider other colour variants of the OnePlus 11R 5G for more storage options.

For around the same price however, other options including the Nothing Phone (2) will offer better performance thanks to a newer, more powerful chipset, while for a little more, you can choose the newer OnePlus 12R which succeeds the 11R 5G and will offer an additional year of software support down the line.
