But the op11 offers 90 percent of the same experience at almost half the price.

[@AlgorithmicEchoes]

I switched from a s23 plus to oneplus 11r and this is my first oneplus. While benchmarks and reviews show that both have similar performance, oneplus is way smoother in real life. No frame drops no jerks. I was really frustrated with Samsungs heating issues. And there are some noticeable problems. For example, I always found it to lag for a few moments after unlocking before it picks up. Another issue was the quick settings. With notifications it will almost always have a jerky transition while sliding down. And the deal breaker was Google maps. I live in India and in the tropical climate here the Samsung heated excessively if you open the maps app on a sunny day and used navigation. I had to have it mounted on the Ac vent to have it stay under control. Definitely Samsungs one ui is more polished and oneplus still has silly bugs but oneplus gets the basics correct better than Samsung. And the charging is something that I never realized what a big deal it is. I never need to charge oneplus it more than 10 mins. It's such a big quality of life improvement!

[@jordanjackson8873]

I live in Arizona and have an s23 plus. The summers are 115+ degrees on a cool day, lmao.

If you can get the new s23 ultra for $600 when switching to google fi when porting a number in the US I'd try that. OnePlus is a good phone and you hit all the points correctly. Good review and comparison. Only real downside to the OnePlus is there are less third party cases but it's a good alternative for almost half the price. I really don't like coloros/oxygen os though either. The Oneplus is also on sale for the 256gb for $699 ($100 off). Definitely worth a consideration for the 16gb ram, 80watt charging, and quad hd display.

Honestly, what oneplus has done with the oneplus 11 is very impressive. All these amazing spec with the price under 1000$. I love Samsung S23 Ultra but the price is just way too high. The only sad thing about oneplus 11 is that it doesn't has the wireless charger. which is not a big deal of course because the fast charging cable is doing absolutely incredible. Android is killing it at the moment. I've used iPhone for over 10 years now and still an apple fan boy but as of right now i am currently using oneplus 11 as my primary device and oppo find N2 flip 2. Having said that i'm still looking forward to the new 15 Pro Max especially knowing that they finally change to USB C. The lightning cable is frustratingly slow and so old fashion.

Excellent comparison, relatively short, and to the point. I've always bought the Note series and have ordered the S23 Ultra, putting my Note 20 Ultra to rest. I still like to keep tabs on the competition and will jump ship when I deem Samsung no longer worthy. OnePlus makes a great phone but Samsung has many cool features that I would miss. Losing the micro SD card slot was a major strike for me, although I never came close to maxing out the storage. I don't like losing options.

Hey, what phone did you trade in?

[@rivet4]

the (big) problem with the Oneplus 11 is not the hardware but the software. Not about the current Oxygen/Color OS vs old Oxygen os fiasco. Color os is pretty decent. It's also not just the software bugs that come with their OS over time. Even Samsung / iPhones get bugs. What's bad is fixing those issues on time. Oneplus community forums are filled with users having lots of minor/major issues/bugs which are not being fixed for a pretty long time even after multiple updates. Slow bug fixes and not fixing a lot of bugs, that is their biggest problem.

[@robmalcolm8042]

Mm true but as someone who likes Samsung and sort of like iphone I’d say oneplus is a pretty good balance you still get snapdragon power for a lot less and arguably smoother since Samsung is a bit slower from one u.i

[@CaptainPupu]

I left for Samsung s22 ultra from OnePlus 9 pro when color os rolled out. It was a disaster. OnePlus ALWAYS was about oxygen os, a clean android no bullshit. Then they threw that out to color os which is the same as any other bloatware bullshit android. I left. Samsung is not much better. Lots of bullshit, lots of issues, touchscreen is much less fluid and less responsive. Samsung made me really miss oxygen os. Just from small things like you can't add an app to homescreen by dragging it, you have to long press, menu comes up- click add to homescreen, flip the homescreen to find the app, then drag it where you want it. Unorganized menu that's like a rabbit hole to descend down and other bullshit. Updating brakes everything. It broke the OnePlus and broke the Samsung. I never updated anything since. They don't fix anything. They don't add features. They redesign and redesign and redesign icons to make more bullshit and justify them having jobs. Seriously the last big android update was picture in picture like 5 years ago. Nothing new since. I'm rambling but my point is, OnePlus was king with oxygen os. Samsung was never kind with it's bullshit. Don't buy either.

[@dr.fitprofessor1970]

I think this was a very important comparison. In fact, it's solidly demonstrates the difference between a flagship and a flagship killer. That is really what we're talking about here. Of course, with the Samsung you're going to get all the bells and whistles but, what if you don't need them? From my own personal perspective, it is $500 more for a bunch of fluffy features that I would never use. In addition, with the exception of the gen2 processor it is just a rerun of last year's s22. I chose the OnePlus 11 which hit my doorstep yesterday. I just purchased a 10 Pro a few weeks ago and was still within my return window for Amazon so, I sent it back. Strictly speaking, I thought the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, this phone look like something special. In addition, I was able to purchase it for about $170 cheaper than the 10 Pro. In fact, I was able to purchase the 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price as the entry model; $699.99. apparently, it was on sale the day I purchased it. I want to touch on a feature that the OnePlus 11 has that the Samsung Galaxy s 23 ultra can't touch. Specifically, I'm talking about virtual ram. While the 16GB version that I purchased is powerful, the ram can be extended to 12 GB more for a total of 28 GB via virtual ram. In the settings menu under about phone, if you tap on RAM it will give you the option to extend the ram either 4, 8 or 12 GB virtually. The extra ram is borrowed from the ROM and reassigned as RAM. That is speed that the Samsung just can't match. Combine that feature with features like dual SIM card ability and 80 watt fast charging and you have some truly unique functions that the Samsung just can't touch. A flagship phone like the Samsung will give you a variety of features but, a flagship killer will concentrate on power. Combine that with high-end build quality and sell it at a lower price and you will have an amazing value.

However, it really isn't what their fanbase wanted and it was certainly not at the price they were willing to pay. Although, I was kind of the exception to that rule. LOL.

YEAH, waterproof that why my note 20 fell into the water and now i'm researching and bought one plus 11, never like wireless charging , it's waste of energy, the heat it generated is obscure, inefficient and not for me at all., FYI my note 20 5g ultra had to repair for water damage once prior to this just by water splashing on the boat, and once for screen replacement, and 3rd time , it died after update... surprise, it still works and everything except i wont get receptions . Hence i researched Pixel 7 pro, & s23 ultra vs samsung flip 5 and this phone, this one win in every aspect.

[@designsbynimros8869]

The Oneplus 11 is $1400 NZ here in New Zealand. And only the 256 model offered so far. Around $1000 is about my limit, so I'll just have to dream a bit longer.

[@snowps1]

Seems like OnePlus is going back to its roots as a flagship buster instead of trying to keep up with them.

[@mernik5599]

OnePlus 11 has old e4 display vs the latest e6 display. E6 consumes way less energy

[@11bravo18]

Great review. Im pretty much decided on getting this 11 to replace my 1+6 that has been an amazing workhorse. Im on it from 7am most of the day watching videos and browsing interests on the original battery. Try that with a 5 1/2 year old constantly in serviced iPhone or Galaxy. Good luck. Hah! 😁

[@1999TransAmWS6]

I'm curious the difference in cell signal between them. My wife and I both have Verizon. I have the S21 Ultra and she has the OnePlus 6. When ever we are on vacation in the middle of nowhere, her phone destroys mine in cell signal strength. I'll have no signal with an X showing and she still has 2 bars and 4g internet.

[@maheshbhattarai3418]

All you are saying is one plus is S23 ultra minus dex & wireless charging? In the pixel camp, is there dex ? Also, Can you compare pixel 7 pro with s23 ultra? Man, iphones never had dex setup, no wonder I never got interested.

[@tariksebbah393]

But OnePlus 11 have the water resistance capabilityn, doesnt it ?

[@4Jaze61]

S23 Ultra is the best phone I have ever owned and I am a Samsung knight since S9+

[@TechOdyssey]

Nice! It's a great phone.

[@GODLIKE99KINGZ]

No 4K@60 video recorder on Selfie Cam. Shame

[@TechOdyssey]

Yup. It’s definitely a letdown

[@ChristopherPoitras]

I have both. If someone where to hand me a OnePlus 11 and said i could only use this phone, id be pretty happy. The op11 is a really sold phone. There are even some software ui elemets i like better on the op11. The charging is incredible. That being said using both and comparing them you start to see the differences. The s23U just has a bigger and better screen, better cameras, the spen and wireless charging which fits my use case the best.

[@mesalvador1]

Does the oppo also have the security updates and android os updates?

[@leewainwright3526]

ask yourself people in the grand scheme of things do you need all these features in a phone do you really need the latest and greatest which in reality ain't groundbreaking

[@komialbertabotsi4496]

Hi Adam. Where can I find that OP11 case?

[@artdogg50]

I really feel this is the best overall deal on a flagship, especially for the US market. Also think it's in line with, if not maybe better than any foreign phone around the same price right now.

[@gabecruz1045]

what do you think of the redmagic 8 pro?

[@vapeking466]

Not sure of its still true but oneplus phones of the past were water resistant they just don't pay extra for the certification. Also I believe samsung and apple are way behind when it comes to fast charging.

[@roryhouston8305]

I heard the system storage is quite high on the S23 ultra and it takes quite a bit of storage out of what they give you. Is that true.

[@chris201]

Mine takes 55.92 gb for the system out of 512gb

[@stefanpellerin2817]

It is not true, my 1tb sd card only is allowed about 930gb instead of 1tb

[@kristianhansen3489]

Past 2 years I've been using s21plus and 22plus. But exynos suck. I was looking forward for snapdragon in my region. But it's over priced even for the plus variant, so I'm settling down with oneplus this year.

[@calvee1100]

Great video! Since the disappointing S21 line up I've slowly started to drift away from Samsung. The ONLY premium flagship they make is the Ultra and its too big and expensive and I don't use any of the extra features the Ultra line offers. I'm NOT going to use a phone with a 1080p screen! That's an old resolution that even Samung removed since the S6 with their 1440p displays. Why did they go backward!!!

[@yinyangg87]

How's heat dissipation on the one plus 11

[@_DMD_]

i see what you're saying for sure, unless you got the fi deal for the s23u for $650 @512gb with no trade in otd

[@shafqataziz71]

Thank you for pointing out the price difference. It helped me make my decision. I don't need wireless charging, I don't need the latest updates or the best camera. Just need the strongest performance 😊

[@zjb29877]

I think the biggest scam in the industry is that manufacturers started giving us way less features for the same/if not more money. The SD card isn't there anymore so that they can upcharge us significantly for more storage. A Samsung micro SD card starts around $25 for 256GB but the upgrade from 256 to 512 for the S23 Ultra is $180. Sure, you get the extra RAM but RAM is cheap. No IR blaster? I know Android TVs are becoming way more common, but c'mon, not everyone has one and it's so convenient to use your remote for different devices all from your phone. I get it, Samsung puts just about the most robust feature set into their to model phone, but I'd also really appreciate if they didn't nerf the smaller Galaxy S models. I don't want, nor need the S Pen and hate the sharper corners and curved screen, but I have to take a dramatic drop off in specs for only $200 less in the S23+. No LTPO screen, no 200MP camera, no option for 12GB of RAM and a few other things I may be missing, but it's frustrating. There's only a $100 difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in the US and the difference in feature set is much smaller, basically screen size and battery size except for some very minor things. Sorry for the rant, just frustrated with this stuff, and the fact that we've, for the most part, accepted less for our money over time.

[@zjb29877]

@@AlexMkd1984 oh I won't. I just got my S23+ yesterday which I do like in lieu of everything I said, but just frustrated with the lack of features that used to be staples. I didn't say I wanted a dumbed down experience so I'll never daily an iPhone lol. Just the fact that the 2 pro models don't have many differences is what Samsung should go for between the Plus and Ultra models.

[@farasty7371]

there actually is ltpo on the s23+ and s23, but just not down to 1hz, it goes down to atleast 24hz.

[@necro4468]

Yeah but one plus software is horrendous. It's always been a high spec phone at a cheaper price but for some reason they can't get the UI right.

[@Zaknaberrnon]

Dealbreakers for the OP 11 are: no IP rating no wireless charge USB C port is 2.0 instead of 3.0 (mind blowing that a new 2023 phone has such an old technology and port. This is unacceptable if transferring files from PC is something important for you.) My oneplus 8 pro from 2019 has all three of these features (ip68, wireless charge, USB 3.1) so there is no way I would spend so much on a new phone to have worse features than what I got on my phone from 3 years ago. Oh, and my oneplus 8 pro also charges up to 100 in around half an hour. Basically if these features don't matter to you, then sure go for the OP 11, but saying the phones are in the same league is simply not true. Also, it remains to be seen how well the OP 11 stands up to Jerryrigeverything's durability test. The 10 and 10T performed horribly and were so poorly designed that they snapped in half.

[@MatthewLetendre]

Does the 1plus have some water resistant I work outside and I'm sometimes out in the rain. I'm thinking between this or the pixel pro.

[@TechOdyssey]

It has water resistance but basically just splash resistant. IP64

[@nightshadesalad]

It's IP64 but those ratings are largely only for peace of mind. I have a 10T which is only IP54, but I keep it in my pocket while i run so its regularly getting hit with rain and sweat. No issues. Besides, no phone company will cover water damage for manufacturer warranty in 99% of cases. Water resistance is not waterproof. Samsung and Google/Fitbit wont cover their "swimproof" smartwatches either.

[@shivamkrishn]

I see this as Color Os Vs One UI Untrusted brand Vs Super reliable and trusted brand.

[@hreynisson]

Dude.... The standard speakers on this phone are beastly

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Sry but im all about the display and I cant pass up samsungs displays. The color the brightness the resolution just everything. Plus I like samsungs ui way more. Idc if the price is more for me its worth it. Just getting what you want and like most makes it worth it to me. I was pretty dissapointed in the back step that one plus took in color and display overall. They wrre able to compete with samsungs display just a few years ago. This time you can see where they cut corners to cut cost. They hsve a great processor so if the screen isnt an issue for it then go for jt. But i remember when one plus had almost more color and brightness then samsung did and for less while still performing equally as good. Thats when i was like ok this thing is amazing. But after seeing the display in person side by side the samsung I was like damnit. Because it was an option for me until I saw that. But its about what matters to you most so go with what you like.

Oneplus 11 256GB is the best way to go if anyone orders it because the 256GB model has the 16GB Ram. Only reason why i went with the S23 Ultra because the oneplus was sold out
