Come 2023, the necessity of the hour was not simply to beat it with some incremental updates however overhaul it, and that’s what OnePlus has tried with the 11 5G.
We will maintain again the digital camera samples and efficiency benchmarks for the ultimate overview, not as a result of we wish to maintain you ready, however from our previous expertise, we count on one other software program replace or two within the coming days which may change issues.

OnePlus 11 5G vs OnePlus 10T: Design
From the entrance, the OnePlus 11 5G appears to be like extra like the ten Pro than the 10T, with a curved show, slim bezels and a punch-hole on the prime left of the display for the selfie digital camera. The identical applies to the again of the black variant that we obtained, with a matte glass that serves as a throwback to the sandstone end of the primary OnePlus telephone. For the primary time because the OnePlus 8T/9R, you get an Aluminium body on a non-Pro system, and even higher, the alert slider is again, which was inexplicably eliminated within the 10T.
While the place of the rear cameras is comparable, the squarish digital camera island on the ten sequence now makes method for a round one on the 11. It is tough to say which one appears to be like higher, however neither appears to be like dangerous, so no complaints. The OnePlus 11 is 0.3 mm slimmer than the 10T, however the weight is kind of related. The greatest change right here is the show, and it’s not simply the curved edges I’m speaking about however much more. Let me elaborate additional.

For the primary time ever on a non-Pro OnePlus telephone, now we have a QHD+ show. That’s a decision of 3216 x 1440 pixels, versus a Full HD+ decision of 2412 x 1080 on the 10T.

No surprises right here. OnePlus has opted for the most recent and probably the most highly effective Qualcomm SoC round, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2; the primary telephone with that SoC in India, if my reminiscence serves me proper. Speaking of reminiscence, you stand up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM on the OnePlus 11, and as much as 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Not positive if the 512 GB storage variant can be obtainable anytime quickly. Needless to say, it’s blazing quick, and the scores are persistently larger than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip discovered within the 10T.
OnePlus 11 5G vs OnePlus 10T: Camera
A 50MP major digital camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), 8MP ultra-wide digital camera and a 2MP macro/depth sensor is the mixture OnePlus provided on most of their non-Pro telephones in 2021-2022. The Nord 2, Nord 2T, OnePlus 10R and OnePlus 10T all had the identical, and at last, fortunately that streak is damaged. The OnePlus 11 too has three cameras on the again, however the mixture is drastically totally different.
You get a 50MP major digital camera with a Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS. The second digital camera is a 48MP ultra-wide shooter with auto-focus.

That function usually lets your ultra-wide digital camera double up as a macro digital camera too. We will discover that side in additional depth within the OnePlus 11 overview.
The third digital camera here’s a 32MP telephoto portrait digital camera for clicking high-quality, professional-grade portrait pictures. Hasselblad is again to deal with the color calibration and in addition lend some professional methods for portrait pictures. You additionally get a Pro mode for finer management over the publicity, white steadiness, shutter velocity and extra when you prefer to mess around with the digital camera settings. We will reserve our judgement in regards to the digital camera efficiency for the ultimate overview.
OnePlus 11 5G vs OnePlus 10T: Battery and charging
The battery capability has seen a slight increment from 4800 mAh on the 10T to 5000 mAh right here. However, the 10T nonetheless has the higher hand with regards to charging instances, due to its 150W SuperVOOC charger. OnePlus has bundled a ‘relatively slower’ 100W charger with the OnePlus 11 that claims to cost it totally in simply 25 minutes, which is nearly 5 minutes slower than its predecessor. I’ll replace you with the precise charging time in a couple of days, however it’s undoubtedly underneath half an hour with the bundled charger.
OnePlus 11 5G preliminary ideas
Our preliminary impressions of the OnePlus 11 5G are fairly constructive, and it appears like an enormous improve over the OnePlus 10T in most departments. In reality, at instances it feels extra like a successor to the OnePlus 10 Pro. OnePlus is but to announce the worth of this system on the time of writing, and I sincerely hope they don’t get too grasping. They badly want a win early in 2023 after a largely lacklustre 2022. Let’s wait and watch what Cloud 11 rains upon us.
