The OnePlus 11 is official after launching in China following a number of official teaser photographs from the corporate.
The cellphone is a return to a totally premium high of the road flagship after 2022’s OnePlus 10T introduced some high tier specs however a number of downgrades on the OnePlus 10 Professional to drive the 10T’s value down.
Right here’s every little thing it’s essential to know concerning the OnePlus 11 5G (to provide it its annoying full title).
When will the OnePlus 11 be launched?
The OnePlus 11 was launched in China on 4 January 2023, a full month earlier than the worldwide launch occasion scheduled for 7 February in New Delhi, India.
The cellphone’s official announcement is roughly consistent with what we anticipated as OnePlus usually launches flagships every Spring, and in reality the OnePlus 10 Professional was revealed as early as January 2022 in China.

How a lot does the OnePlus 11 value?
In China, the OnePlus 11 will value from ¥3,999 ($580/£480) for the mannequin with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. There’s additionally a ¥4,899 ($710/£590) model with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Sadly when the cellphone is introduced for the remainder of the world, it’s prone to value greater than these conversions.
As there’s no affirmation from OnePlus but about international pricing, we’ll use the earlier fashions to place us within the image. Right here’s the pricing of the previous couple of flagships:
- OnePlus 10T – $649/£629/€699
- OnePlus 10 Professional – $899/£799/€899
- OnePlus 9 – $729/£629/€699
- OnePlus 9 Professional – $999/£829/€899
- OnePlus 8T – $649/£549/€649
Given OnePlus has determined to go all-in on specs and options for the OnePlus 11, then it would most likely be near the worth of the present 10 Professional outdoors of China. This won’t fairly work out this merely although, because the world-wide chip scarcity, plus the disruptions to manufacturing and distribution brought on by Covid and the Ukrainian invasion by Russia are all starting to drive up costs.
What options and specs does the OnePlus 11 have?
Oddly, the Chinese language launch didn’t absolutely reveal all of the specs of the OnePlus 11, and OnePlus didn’t present us with full specs particulars, however here’s what we do know the handset has:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset
- 6.7in 120Hz 2K AMOLED show with LTPO 3.0
- As much as 16GB RAM
- 100W wired charging
- 5,000mAh dual-cell battery
- Hasselblad-branded triple digital camera system:
- 48Mp IMX581 ultra-wide sensor
- 32Mp IMX709 portrait lens
- 5G
- Black or inexperienced
That is many of the core specs of the cellphone, which joins the iQoo 11 and Vivo X90 Professional Plus in having Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.
OnePlus claims the 8 Gen 2 provides a 35% sooner CPU and 25% sooner GPU efficiency however didn’t specify which chipset these percentages have been in relation to. The 8+ Gen 1 discovered within the OnePlus 10T drove very excessive finish efficiency although.
We predict not less than a type of specs will change for the cellphone’s US launch. The normally dependable leaker Max Jambor has reported that the US launch of the OnePlus 11 will “solely” have 80W wired charging, down from the 100W speeds of the Chinese language version. The excellent news is that apparently the remainder of the world can be getting the 100W model, so it’s solely US patrons who’ll be short-changed with (barely) slower charging.
Official advertising and marketing photographs of the cellphone present it in inexperienced and black, the identical base colors the OnePlus 10 Professional and 10T can be found in.
Right here it’s in inexperienced, alongside the also-announced OnePlus Buds Professional 2:

The inexperienced end appears to be like prefer it’s shiny whereas the black model is matt.
OnePlus says the brand new round digital camera housing is impressed by black holes. Oo er. The renders are actually engaging, nevertheless it continues the corporate’s historical past of blending up the design of its flagship telephones between generations, getting experience of the curved sq. design on the ten Professional and 10T.
With Hasselblad branding you may also anticipate the cellphone to have improved optics over the 10T, and have related software program options as the ten Professional that improved the digital camera app, equivalent to unique filters and side ratios with which to shoot.
We’ll have to attend till 7 February for full data on the cellphone and its full international launch, the place it would seemingly promote within the USA, UK, Europe, and India not less than.
