OnePlus - 11 5G 256GB (Unlocked) - Titan Black

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.

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.

I love this phone. Most of all I love the fast charging. The battery life is absolutely incredibe! I plug my phone in while I'm in the shower, and by the time my teeth are brushed the phone is always full. The battery capacity also performs above spec. I downloaded AccuBattery immediately when I set up the phone, and the capacity has steadily increased!(see graph in picture) I exclusively fast charge, as I did with my last OnePlus 7 pro, which after nearly 3 years of heavy use had a battery health of above 85%. My S21u has a health of 82% after a year and a half. My Galaxy would be a hand warmer fresh off the "fast" charger. The OnePlus 11 barely gets above room temperature, and charged in a third of the time. Heat kills batteries, and slower "fast" charging exposed that battery to the heat for a longer period. I have no doubts this is why my S21U battery degraded so quickly. I never have to wait for my phone to charge or use it while plugged in. This allowed me to remove the charger from my couch, and my bedside. I now charge while I shower in the morning, and briefly when I get home from work. I never think about my phone dying, and it keeps my phone in the 20-80% sweet spot for battery longevity. The cameras on the OnePlus 11 leave nothing to be desired. I mainly use the wide angle, and the main camera, but the 2x lens has proved useful indoors where 3x or 10x is too much. I haven't once missed the telephoto lens. I only purchased the S21U when I shattered my OnePlus 7 pro because the OnePlus 9 was out of stock. I always missed the fast charging, and now that I have it back, I feel silly for considering the S23 ultra. Getting a galaxy, it only feels natural to upgrade to the newest version. I couldn't resist the OnePlus 11 256GB for $700 compared to $1100 for the S23U. I'm so glad I saved the $400, TLDR: once you experience true fast charging, you can never go back. It's also a gorgeous phone, that feels better in the hand than any other phone I've held. It comes with the fast charger in the box too! What a novel concept:')

I love this phone. The display is gorgeous -- on par with my Galaxy S23 Ultra, maybe better. The charger is a game changer, from 0% to 100% in under 30 minutes. No other smartphone comes close. But where this phone really shines is the camera. I took some amazing photos that were crisp yet smooth, and for someone like me who loves photographing flowers and macro shots, this camera set-up is a dream. And the price tag cannot be beat. If you're on the fence, take the leap. You will not be disappointed.

Great phone especially at its price. OnePlus is out here competing with all the flagships at almost half the price with almost all the same features and the newest chipset. The camera is great but might be the one feature not quite on par with Samsung or Googles phones. The fast charging and terrific battery life are my favorite parts about this phone, that and the amazing display.

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.

After OnPlus 9Pro with its stunning camera, this was almost an obvious choice for me. With but one limitation of 2x instead of 3x zoom telephoto lens, the camera produces very good results. The interface is familiar and easy to navigate. The price is more welcoming than that of Samsung comparable phones, especially with BestBuy's and provider's incentives. I love the fast charging, it gives my phone a boost from 0 to 35% in 10 minutes. That's quite enough for me to go about my normal activities while I'm getting ready to leave the house. The phone has one drawback still - it's extremely slippery! It slides even on a flat and seemingly level surface. A case is advisable.

I kept seeing everyone praising the new 12 but wanted a better price so I got this 11 and I'm glad I did. The screen is really nice and battery life is decent but the fast charging is really what seals the deal for me. The only complaints I have is sometimes I have to put it into airplane mode then back on to get the internet to work. Which this could be my carrier (VZW). Oh and the camera is usually good but sometimes you have to take another shot, especially in lower light situations. The fingerprint works much better than my old pixel 6 and it's plenty fast. I bought mine open box for $429 which is a great deal. I'd say if you want 80% or more of what you'll get with phones such as the S24 at a fraction of the price then this one is well worth a look.
