OnePlus 11 Long Term Review // A Great Deal on a Great Phone!

[@mr_stoosh]

The OP11 is an underrated phone. Had the Pixel 7 Pro and S23U before it and although it's not as flash or versatile in the camera department I'd take this over the other two devices any day. The phone just does everything well and is a solid device

[@hotsauce6310]

Stop the bs

[@marcochavane3124]

I'm excited to try it out. I went from Pixel 6 Pro to S22U to iPhone 13 PM to Pixel 7 Pro back to S21U and now the OnePlus 11. I think for day to day use it will be a far better phone. The charging speeds are what I'm most stoked about. My main concern is snapping photos of my fast moving kiddos.

[@dr.fitprofessor1970]

I've been using my 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage version since February and I absolutely love it. This phone is smooth as silk and is probably the best device that they've ever designed. Although, my preference is factory unlocked or nothing.

[@Kayfabe-226]

I've been One Plus user for yrs and I bought this OP 11 the week it came out..I got a Great upgrade to 16ram n 256 storage for $699!...This is a great phone with super fast charger and performance is snappy...USA needs choices in cell phones and thx to One Plus we still get charging brick in the box...Lastly that OP sandstone case looks 👍

[@udruzenjejazavaca]

This phone is very fast. And I mean very very fast, reviews don't do it much justice until you try it. Using my friends OP11 - it feels snappier then my S23 Ultra.

I just bought two 16GB OnePlus 11's at Best Buy for $599.99. We have two Pixel 6 Pros that we haven't used in almost a year because they were so glitchy. The updates usually messed something up and we finally just gave up on them and bought a couple of Motorola Edge Plus 2022's, which are great. We had OnePlus 8 Pros several years ago and loved them and we are ready to try OnePlus again as this looks like a GREAT phone! I don't care one iota about wireless charging or water resistance so that won't be a problem at all. I can hardly wait 'til they're here! Thank you for your informative and interesting videos. 🙂

I swapped my iPhone 13 for a Pixel 7 in February and have been so happy with it. My only beef is the battery life. I checked trade in value at Best Buy and the net spend for this OnePlus is still $304 all-in, so probably more than I'd want to spend to just beef up battery life at the sacrifice of lower picture quality, no magic eraser, etc. I just love the Pixel camera and features so much.

@@luckychukiye8743 oh it's been fine. I was on iOS since 2009. My two best friends have iphone and they hassled for a bit but it was fine. My wife downloaded Google Meet for video calls so it all works great. I love that I can use my work computer for SMS (PC) and use my personal Mac. It's been a great change. Hard to imagine going back to iOS with the value these Android phones provide.

[@marcochavane3124]

I had the Pixel 7 Pro and am getting the OnePlus 11. The better battery life and really fast charging is worth the trade off in camera processing. If you are a Google One subscriber you still get some of the photo editing tools the Pixels have.

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

I think if I had never gotten a Pixel then for me, in the US, the OP11 would be a no-brainer especially at $699, for someone who doesn't want a Samsung. The other differences between a Pixel 7 Pro for instance and this i.e. wireless charging and an official IP rating, these are not dealbreakers for me personally, just niceties. I have gotten accustomed to charging wirelessly previously with the Pixel 6 and now 7 Pro, just topping off/remaining at 100% throughout the day during work where I would previously not be charging my phone wired so the convenience factor, depending on your situation is nice. One key thing with phones like the OP11 that includes a fast charging brick that should be mentioned more often, to get those fast charging times, you have to use the included charger. Now I don't know this for sure but maybe someone can chime in but can the OP11 charge at up to 80W with any other charger capable of at least 80W? OP uses their proprietary charging tech called SuperVOOC but I can't say with certainty if you can get those charging speeds with any other charger.

[@Betancourtdm]

It definitely changed the way I charged my phone. Every phone I've had before I charge overnight. There OP11 usually has 40-50% by the end of the night and barely drains on standby so I charge it to 100 while in the shower

[@henrykurchs9068]

Is the 256gb model with ufs 4.0 and 16 gb ram worth the extra $100 over the 128 gb model?

[@TechOdyssey]

Only really if you need the storage IMO

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

I think they are still running their Father's Day special in the US OP site essentially giving you the $100 upgrade to the 16GB RAM/256GB Storage option for the same price as the 8GB/128GB model for $699.

[@Betancourtdm]

Yes, yes it is

[@PerpetualPreponderer]

I plug my phone in for about 15-20 minutes every morning daily, and its good to go. To me, this is the best way to charge phones so far. Efficient, quick & simple. BBK Electronics is one impressive conglomerate.

[@metalmaniacx79]

[@hotsauce6310]

Chaeging is the only thing good about oneplus devices. That fast charging still hurts the battery cell more though. Making it last for less cycles.

[@metalmaniacx79]

@@hotsauce6310 it depends. Heat messes up batteries so fast charging is convenient as long as it's well done. For instance, I charge my phones within 20-80%. That's proven to keep its battery capacity for longer.

[@PerpetualPreponderer]

@@hotsauce6310 the phone is significantly less hot when fast charging as compared to my earlier iphone xr when connected to a fast charger of much lower wattage. These people are really innovating, and charging a fair value for their goods. Where I live, iphones are just bad deals, and they're getting worse & worse. I could buy one if I really really wanted to, but I refuse to be fleeced by these people anymore. And I'm genuinely shocked at the polish & functionality of these android devices from brands like Oneplus. Who knew?! ;)

[@ricardomauricioaraya7625]

I've been on an LG V60 since release. Looking into upgrading but I'm not a fan of Apple and Samsung. Is this a good option? obviously it will be much faster with the chip it has, but I'm wondering if the camera will be as good, or an upgrade. the V60 has a great camera, but it is a bit outdated for today's standards.... I don't really care about the wireless charging, I rarely use it on the V60

Hi I am in love with the new Motorola razor flip phone, I need to know if it's better than the new Samsung fold. Do you have a video out yet comparing the two? Thank you!

[@josh2k4]

Does it work on Verizon?

[@artdogg50]

I think the Best Buy carrier deals on AT&T and T-Mobile are great alternatives after the Oneplus 11 was dropped from T-Mobile. Probably a better deal than you would have gotten if it was a T-Mobile exclusive again, which would probably be bill credits for 2 years locking you in. Once I got my Oneplus 11 activated on T-Mobile through Best Buy, I was able to cancel T-Mobile and use it on any carrier I wanted. It's not locked to T-Mobile. Not sure about AT&T, Verizon, or Google Fi though.

[@Kickenwing13]

Perfect timing. I've been watching the older videos you've put up on this topic. I'm waiting for my replacement pixel 7 pro to come in because of some dead pixels that randomly showed up. I was considering selling it as a new device and putting that money into a OnePlus 11 just to try it

Couldn't get rid of it but then when I noticed the dead pixels magically appear, I didn't notice the ghosted bubble anymore. I don't know exactly what's happening to be honest. I still really love so much about the phone but I also am half tempted to go for the 23 ultra or the z fold. I got a surface duo off Amazon last year to see how the folding thing would be and there are things I like about that duo that no other phone can give me, but I think the z fold would accomplish everything I want in a phone. Potentially. My mind goes everywhere dude. Every year I tell myself this is the last phone. This thing's going to get me through for a couple years and every year I fail.

I am looking at this phone, Poco F5 Pro and Realme GT Neo 5. AT&T only lists Oneplus brand as official approved. Anyone have experience with these other brands on AT&T networks?

[@artdogg50]

Yes AT&T, AT&T Prepaid, and Cricket Wireless, owned by AT&T, has thrown many users of those company phones you mentioned off of their networks. Far as I know that hasn't changed. To be honest it paid a pretty big part in my decision to go back with Oneplus with the 11. Well that and I also love Oneplus phones.

[@hsimpson1152]

This would be a great phone if it had expandable storage. Not a fan of nuking my phone with fast charging so i don't need that. Op need to understand they can't compete with the big boys head to head. They need to appeal to the fans of features like a headphone jack and expandable storage. Until then Sammy will continue to win the android race.

How would you say the reception compares to your old Samsungs on the OP11? Cause I do want to give OnePlus another chance and get the 11, but I'm just nervous I'll regret it.

What killed the OnePlus 11 for me was its flaky Bluetooth performance. I use the AAwireless dongle for Android Auto to listen to Pandora/Spotify/Apple music while I drive. I was constantly suffering from dropouts and skips with the OnePlus 11. I do NOT have that issue with the Samsung S23FE, and didn't have it with the Pixel 6a, either.

The thing that keeps me far from Oneplus right now is the software. That's why Nothing is drawing attention lately. Samsung and Pixel are the best software experiences in Android at the moment IMHO. Amazing great software tho.

Couldn't pass up their current deal direct from OnePlus. $679 for a 16/256GB 11 with an extra 125W charger uncluded. I picked up a refurbished 16/512GB S21U from Amazon in May, and was disappointed with 1+ over the past few years but it seems they are coming back around. Still in the return window on the Ultra so I'll be comparing them and returning the "loser". At that price I figured it was worth a shot. Its silly but the 100W charging is what got my attention. Im a heavy user and I find myself charging my phone constantly.

I just wish there was a phone with Pixel's camera and software features, with a snapdragon 8 gen 2 running on a OP11 battery that charges in 30 mins.

After reading your comment I would think one plus 11 is what you're looking for I have the OnePlus 9 pro absolutely love it I also have Samsung s22 ultra pixel 7 pro if I were you I would take one plus 11 over the standard s23. I'll be very honest you have great taste and any of the 3 will be wonderful for years to come you can't really make a mistake Good luck 🤞

[@Bob_Squared23]

I own both the Pixel 7 Pro and OnePlus 11. The latter provides longer battery life, great performance, and as for the camera its decent. It might not have the same reputation as a Pixel camera, but (and this is a hot take), I think it is better. Images are crisp, more detailed, and the Hassleblad color science is top notch this time around. Although it might not zoom in as much as the Pixel 7 Pro, it'll do more times than not. OnePlus tends to have warmer images whereas Pixel has cooler images but most of that can be resolved in editing. My OnePlus 11 almost never overheats, but my Pixel 7 Pro always does. If you get it, I suggest using a wireless charging pad with a built in fan to keep it cool overnight. That's what I do when I'm using it. Charging on the OnePlus 11 gets the phone warm, but it's so fast and convenient using the 80wat charger that came in the box. If you can wait, I would hold off and see about the Pixel 8 Pro. The Tensor G3 might be a step below the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and will be optimized specifically for the Pixel 8 Pro. Furthermore, it'll have massive camera upgrades. If you can't wait that long, but still aren't sold on either the P7P or 1+11 you could check out the Nothing Phone 2 coming out next month.

[@jasonculver3516]

I also had the OP 11 at release and then traded for the S23 smaller phone (due to ecosystem) and the Oneplus photos are better IMO, especially the nighttime photos. Wireless charging is slow on the S23 and it gets very warm so I never use it as it's pointless to me. You will love the OP11 and I miss it.
