Great review.. I was confused about buying ONEPLUS 11 or PIXEL 7. I've always supported the stock UI .but don't see PIXEL beating OP11 in any other aspects other then Camera and UI. You've convinced me to choose the OnePlus. ❤️
My new OnePlus 11 is an absolute beast of a phone for the price it commands. Gorgeous display, silk smooth UI with no bloatware, blazing fast performance - it shines all through! I use multiple heavy professional applications for my work on a daily basis and the phone does everything effortlessly. No lags or stutters whatsoever. It's already running Feb 2023 security patch and March is awaited end of this month! Very happy I traded my iphone 12 for the OP 11.
Fantastic review! I definitely think it is the best in it's price range and punches above it's weight class. Can't praise this device enough. The IP rating is honestly not something to worry about per se as there is durability test videos showing it submerged for over 5 minutes and it works just fine. The camera is amazing and doesn't get the respect it deserves.
As you stated the device is buttery smooth. It also has a decent camera, excellent screen, great haptics, long lasting battery, blazing fast charging, easy alert slider, futuristic build, awesome speakers, great price. I could continue for days. This is definitely a flagship killer. Nobody needs wireless charging when it charges so fast and lasts almost 2 days.
@@MichaelElsegoodI am very confused about one thing. I have to keep the phone for 4 years. Should I choose the OnePlus 11 or iPhone 14? Please help me answer this question: Which one will provide a smoother experience between these two phones? ❤
Thank you for an open minded and fair review. I get tired and frustrated with all the snobbery that comes in all these reviews. I see so many reviews where these devices are compared to devices that are hundreds of dollars more, rather than reviewing a device for what it can do for you for the price you paid. I often get the feeling, that reviews on a particular product are actually pushing you to the compared product rather than giving a fair review of the product put in the heading. Thanks for not doing that.
You rightly said that the color reproduction is very accurate on this phone...Even better than Iphone 14 pro and Samsung S23 ultra....yes, it's a value for money phone...Your review is clear, crisp and precise...
Good to see you back and a great review. Now you have me wondering if i swap my almost new Nothing Phone 1 for this? Is it your daily driver or you just used it to make a review?
Actually, oneplus didn't cut any corners in designing the OnePlus 11. In fact, not including wireless charging, power share and a needless ip68 rating was by design. Frankly, the last few years the OnePlus community has been complaining about the price of their devices. The main reason for this is that the company started moving away from designing flagship killers and started designing genuine flagships. Obviously, that is going to affect the cost of their devices. Strictly speaking, flagship killers by definition prioritize processor, memory, build quality, advanced battery & fast charging technology and bringing it to the consumer at a much lower price than a flagship. To that end, they have to pair away gimmicky secondary features like wireless charging. Besides, who really cares about slow inefficient wireless charging that can take up to 3 hours to finish? Especially, when you can have 80 w fast charging and complete the task in less than half an hour. As far as the ip68 rating is concerned, most people don't even realize how much money that cost the manufacturer for the certification. In fact, it drives up the cost of the phone by nearly $100 to $200. Of course, oneplus does build every device with the equivalent of an ip68 rating but, they do not pay for the certification and pass that savings on to the consumer. Frankly, flagships and flagship killers may be akin to each other from a power standpoint but, they are quite different in the areas that I covered earlier in this comment. It's unfortunate that a lot of people don't know the difference. However, I am gratified that oneplus has returned to their roots and started designing flagship Killers again. This idea that they cut corners is really a misnomer. In fact, this is the device that they plan to build from the beginning.
I am using Oneplus 11 from more than a month. There is a lot of stuttering in youtube and instagram app. Sometimes the touch doesn't work in RUclips. Have you faced such issues in your review unit?
Cheers! Yeah it’s something to do with 4K cameras being too high quality in tricking government face scanning security features in their gov apps. Or something like that.
@@MichaelElsegoodinteresting, I didn't know then why not the same in the front camera ? And why in oxygen os they don't allow 4K with front camera ? Thanks in advance for your replies. 🙏
@@MichaelElsegood But other Chinese phones, like for example the upcoming honor magic 5 pro and Huawei flagship phones and Motorola Chinese variant phones all support 4k on the front camera so I don't really think that is the reason
i come from a oneplus 9pro and im contemplating about my next phone. 11 seems good and familiar. but i worry aa bit that it wont feel like a upgrade. i heard it has the same display as 9 pro?? so s23u and magic5pro are also on my list. but im not even that big of a camera guy. samsung would be good for software updates and all the functions and honor is just all around good but i worry there the display will be a downgrade since its not even 2k like the 9pro.. anynone some helpful tips?
The 9pro was a beast. I had the 7pro, 8T, 9pro, 10pro, 10T and now I have the 11. My favorite 3 were the 8T, 9pro, and the 11. Obviously the 7pro with no camera cut out was legendary.
7 Pro was the classic and best of all time for me. 8T was very good and I still use it. 7 Pro is with my Dad. My friend has the OP 11 that I used in the video and he said it’s the best phone he’s ever owned.
@@MichaelElsegood I just retired my 10T. I'm selling it for the low on OfferUp. I can ship it. It's unlocked. I'm using the OnePlus 11, and I have a pixel 7pro new in the box, that I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with it. It's the white one. I also have a back up, back up phone. Lol That's an A51 5G which is the only phone I have with a memory card slot. Lol 😂
@@MichaelElsegood the 10T wasn't bad. Extremely fast device, with fast charging. The camera is decent. The screen quality is definitely better on the 11, but the 10T gets the job done. I strongly believe the 10T was highly underrated.
@@MichaelElsegood your my OnePlus guy. I really agree with most of your views. I've been watching your videos ever since I had the green 8T. I felt as if the phone was a great representation of OnePlus and I got mine on a warranty exchange from the 7pro. After watching your review it solidified how I felt about the 8T. It had a great screen, water resistance, fast processor, fast charging and overall great size and build.
Have your really used this phone 100% of the time as your main phone for the entire month? I mean the 60hz capped apps don't feel silky smooth. RUclips, stock gallery, weather, insta reels etc. And the freeze lag in RUclips every now and then, the assistance that stops working and need reboot to work again. The software surely needs more work. I returned my s23u in order to buy the highly praised op11^^. Feels like everyone is just copying the first great review on yt and then just spin off with it. I would buy a pixel, s22, Xiaomi 13, iPhone 14 over this. It's a decent device but it needs way more work on the software side.
@@Maximusgat No I get it , your right it wasn't rated the worst by everyone , but it was rated the worst by many . Did you watch the Jerryrigeverythng durability test on the 10T ? Not a pretty sight ! I like Oneplus phones , I've had a few . but I can't pretend the 10T isn't a flawed phone and so I just wanted to warn people ... anyway enjoy your phone and glad you got it a a good price .
@@Maximusgat So just don't try to turn into the Incredible Hulk and break it in half. 😂 I still have my Oneplus 5T from 5 1/2 years ago and it still works fine and actually barely has any scratches or imperfections on it. It weighs only 162 g. 🤷🏿♂️
@@MichaelElsegood Yes, I’ve been a long time one plus fan and One plus disappoints again! I don’t know why many “claiming “ one plus is back. Apps like RUclips are restricted to 60fps for some unknown reason and games underperform due to this capping too. Also base variant has lot of cost cutting too. For the money it’s not worth. Maybe under 50k it’s justifiable
@@MichaelElsegood Some are claiming throttling issues and problems with the cameras, also angry there is no wireless charging or IP68. Some have no problems at all with the latter and show some of the smoothest performances and best pictures I've ever seen. 🤷🏿♂️
@@syamKGkarikkasseril I think people are claiming it’s back because it’s offering, good value in terms of specs and build quality. How long have you had the phone for?
The problem is. People love to complain. They want everything for $699. They chat and comment without even trying the phone themselves. If they want perfect performance and top tier hardware then I hope they have a good salary 😂 $1000🔺
For $699; is there a better all-around phone for this price? Peformance, display, camera, charging, battery, software? 🤔
No, one plus king👑👑
Absolutely not
If there is I'm not seeing it yet.
With garbage called colorOS... This is also a garbage
This is the flagship killer of 2023, hands down 🙌
Great review..

Fast charge still needs to put it into the stand which to me is equivalent to just plugging it in. Can't see a discernable difference in QoL there.
Thank for quality review!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
8:10 although not adaptive display? It is adaptive
I almost bought it but there was one dealbreaker, youtube or gallery wont run 120hz
My gallery runs on 120hz though
What's the Chinese law on the front vod rec?
The display IS adaptive, check your facts!

Good review. Your music tends to drown you out though.
Yeah for sure messaged up the audio levels on this video. But cheers!
Which one you will choose between OnePlus 11 Vs honor magic 5pro..?
If somebody gave me both phones for free, I would choose the Magic5 Pro. But if I had to pay with my own money, I would buy the OnePlus 11.
Awesome review as always 💯. Did I just hear you say there is a "LAW" that's maxing the selfie videos at 1080p...?

You say it's a decent ultrawide, but from what I have seen it outperforms almost every single flagship including the iPhone 14 pro max and s23 ultra
In India its selling at 55999inr that's $684.17 dollars
I like it a lot but the one thing is throttling issue...
Is there really a Chinese law as to why OnePlus' selfie cameras cannot record past 1080p?
If so, that is interesting.
Nah, we ugly ass folks want low ass resolution to disfigure our appearance.
How come Huawei selfie cameras can record 4k if there is a Chinese law, use you head bruh.
Without wireless charging and water protection, it is a NO for me. Honor Magic 5 Pro is better IMHO.
My one plus 11 8 GB varient not that smooth enough so many glitches heats up also...
Do you know where can get myself hands on one and play with it, in Hong Kong?
I’m not sure because I live in Shenzhen. In HK I would try a Fortress store.
@@MichaelElsegood Yes. I did already doesn't look like it is available or the stocks for HK are very low.
For daily use do we need to drop 1.000 USD or more ?
