Customers often highlight the excellent camera quality, impressive battery life, and strong performance of the OnePlus 11 5G 256GB (Unlocked). Many appreciate its competitive price and ample RAM and storage. However, some users point out the lack of wireless charging as a significant drawback. Other minor criticisms include the absence of water resistance and occasional concerns about the phone's condition upon arrival.
The OnePlus 11 5G is a great phone all-around. Its night photography abilities at ~1X are amazing, and digital/optical zoom is remarkably good for only having a 2X optical zoom lens. Digital zoom goes up to 20X. The ultrawide is one of the best I've seen at 48 MP. Its battery life is very respectable. It charges faster than fast with the included SUPERVOOC charger and cable, at usually between 60 and 80 watts. It can go from dead to ~60% in just ten minutes, and it can top up from zero to 100% in a half hour. The body is curved so as to be pebble-like, which makes it very comfy to hold. It has a physical alert slider, which cycles it between silent, vibrate, and ring. It is remarkably fast, and can juggle many tasks simultaneously. Cellular reception is stellar. It is not very heavy. You can turn off Google services' access to various parts of the phone, which is great for privacy-focused users. It's microphone and sound recording system is less than amazing, causing spoken letter S's to whistle much more than a Galaxy or iPhone device. It is mostly fixed by changing sound mode (in Camera settings) to Smart, and by using the third-party app Voice Recorder & Voice Memos in the highest output/resolution. This feature is both a pro and a con- its body is so SMOOTH that it can slide down even a slightly inclined surface. This does, however, mean it feels amazing in the hand. All-around, it's a very good phone capable of some serious photography, and it records up to 8K 24fps video. This should be a top choice for someone who doesn't need the very best sound the phone industry offers, but wants a great still photography phone. It can also lock the shutter open for up to 30 seconds straight for nighttime pictures.

Received this device yesterday and used a whole day, I will say it is an excellent flagship and worth buying. The phone's speed is super fast with its 8 Gen 2 chipset and 16GB RAM, and the battery is 5000mAh and can support my daily usage, I tried the charging this afternoon, unbelievably fast, and compared with other flagship devices I looked for, OnePlus still put the charger inbox, no need to spend extra for the charger. Display color is good to mean and camera for image performance looks good for recording and posting in social. The dual Sim is backing! The price is really make me feel good, I don't have to spend $1000 on a flagship device, a good deal.

After a week of use, this phone seems to be everything the 10 pro should've been from the start. Greater battery life out of the same size battery. Blazing fast 80w charging, smooth and snappy UI, vast improvement of the optical zoom camera(macro focus is still lacking). So far there have been noticeably fewer compatibility issues with my work related apps. -Notifications come in quicker when compared side by side to the 10 pro over the same network. -gen2 snapdragon is a beast. -Screen is insanely bright, 1300 peak nits, and doesn't have any of the odd dimming bugs my 10 pro battled so far. -Bluetooth audio is fantastic,(mileage may vary depending on the device connected) but I've been enjoying the decrease in audio lag vs the previous iteration while using Android auto. Pros: -Biggest pro for me is battery life; I use GPS/Bluetooth a TON for work related apps, and this device drains significantly less battery while doing so compared to my 10 pro. -no more random mic muting during phonecalls that both mine and my fiancee's 10 pros struggled with since new. (Mute isn't actually active, only way to regain voice input was changing to speakerphone/Bluetooth, then back to handset) -16gb memory is well received for those of us multitasking at work. I often flip through 4-8 apps during certain service calls, that extra RAM has made running 6+ apps seamless to flip through. -The screen looks fantastic(though so did the 10 pro's). There seems to be a fairly significant improvement of haptic detection along the rounded edges of this display vs the 10 pro, no more pushing the screen until it feels like it's going to shatter to hit that upper right drop-down menu or far left checkbox. -vastly improved telephoto camera lens, a few cool new camera features. Cons: Honestly, less a few creature comforts of other flagship devices from competitors, this phone is incredibly solid for the price, but there is a short list; -I personally dislike that they stuck with the rounded screen edges. -The mobile network antenna seem to sport ever so slightly less range of reception vs the 10 pro counterpart, however it's still a significant improvement over phones from other android manufacturers I've used in the recent past. -Not sure if it's absolutely a con, but the choice to go with one singular lens cover for the rear cameras makes me more nervous vs the individual lenses in the 10 pro. If you broke one then, the other sensors were still useable, now you'd likely need to replace the entire back glass. -phone call volume seems to be a bit lower through the handset, it is clear however. -camera macro focus still lacking for smaller items or closeups less than a few inches away.
