True to its reputation, OnePlus officially lifts the veil on its new flagship which, failing to surprise, has serious advantages to assert. By getting ahead of the competition’s announcements and equipping its smartphone with the best available technologies, the Chinese brand wants to hit hard.

The brand takes the opportunity to present its new headphones true-wirelessthe OnePlus Buds Pro 2 which benefit from noise reduction, spatial audio and an announced autonomy of 39 hours by recharging it several times in its case.
For its part, the OnePlus 11 displays an original design, but far from unknown since the brand had already shared the first official photos of the phone last week. Fans of will be delighted to see that the famous “alert slide” button is back on the OnePlus 11, after a noticeable absence on the OnePlus 10T.
But the distinctive point of the OnePlus 11 5G is undoubtedly its camera block which still hugs the frame of the phone, but this time displays a circular design “inspired by black holes”. OnePlus insists on its “premium” stainless steel manufacturing quality. Since we are talking about photography, let’s focus on the forces involved.
The main module is a 50 Mpx wide-angle (Sony IMX890 sensor). The second is a 48 Mpx ultra-wide-angle (Sony IMX581 sensor). More surprisingly, the third is a 32 Mpx x2 telephoto lens (Sony IMX709 sensor) specialized in portraits. OnePlus does not hesitate to speak of “DSLR quality portraits” (digital reflex camera).

OnePlus is still collaborating with Swedish camera maker Hasselblad. The two brands have been working on a “new 13-channel light-color multispectral identification sensor” that promises natural-color shots.
Focus on power
The OnePlus 11 5G does not betray the brand’s DNA by offering a phone equipped with the most powerful mobile chip available on Android: the Snapdragon 8 Gen2. It thus becomes one of the first mobiles in the world to be equipped with Qualcomm’s SoC.

The OnePlus 11 5G will also be able to be configured with 16 GB of RAM, which promises flawless multitasking and excellent gaming performance.
The smartphone benefits from a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a definition of 1440 x 3216 pixels and an announced peak brightness of 1300 cd/m2. The panel has a refresh rate of 120 Hz with LTPO 3.0 technology which allows it to go down to 1 Hz to save energy and thus preserve the autonomy of the phone.
The OnePlus 11 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery. A standard capacity which will however benefit from a very fast charge of 100W thanks to Oppo’s SuperVooc technology.
