All the rumors about the new top smartphone from OnePlus
OnePlus 11 will be the name of the next top smartphone from OnePlus. Here we summarize all the rumors about the price, release and specifications of the OnePlus 10 successor.
The youngest smartphone in the OnePlus portfolio in this country is the OnePlus 10T, a revised version of the 10 series. However, that will soon change. Because OnePlus presented the successor OnePlus 11 in China at the beginning of January.
This will also find its way to Europe in the course of 2023. When can you expect the OnePlus 11?
Release: When will the OnePlus 11 appear?
Like its predecessor, the OnePlus 11 will initially appear in China. OnePlus releases the smartphone here on January 9th. The international release is not long in coming. The worldwide release date is February 7th, 2023. The related launch event will take place in New Delhi.
In Germany, OnePlus is currently still struggling with a ban on the sale of its cell phones. The reason is a patent dispute with Nokia. It remains to be hoped that the companies will settle the dispute in good time before the release of the new smartphone. Until then, you can already save for the new OnePlus cell phone. Because it will probably not be as cheap as the forefather of the series.
Price: how much will the OnePlus 11 cost?
In China, prices for the OnePlus 11 start at the equivalent of 550 dollars. In Europe, these are traditionally somewhat higher. The OnePlus 10 Pro, for example, cost 250 dollars more when it was launched in Germany. Accordingly, you can expect a price of at least 799 dollars for the OnePlus 11 in Germany. Due to inflation, however, it could also be even higher.
Specifications at a glance
But is it even worth saving for the OnePlus 11 or are you making a better deal by buying the predecessor? In the following, we summarize the innovations in design, display, processor, camera and Co.
design and processing
Like its predecessor, the OnePlus 11 will appear in two different colors: “Volcanic Black” and “Forest Emerald”. The leak of a OnePlus 11 model in the black color variant shows that at least one edition has a sandstone finish to round off the look.

A design change compared to the predecessor is also noticeable in the pictures: Although the camera island is also placed more on the upper edge of the back, it is now more clearly differentiated from the rest of the case by a circular border. The Hasselblad logo in the center of the camera module is featured prominently in the official teaser trailer.
Display
Both the OnePlus 10 Pro and its predecessor, called the OnePlus 9 Pro, already had a 6.7-inch screen. The OnePlus 11 also has this display size. An AMOLED panel is installed, which works at up to 120 Hertz and has a QHD+ resolution.
processor
OnePlus had already announced before the China launch that the OnePlus 11 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which was recently presented at Qualcomm’s “Snapdragon Summit 2022” in-house exhibition. A Geekbench benchmark shows a clock rate of up to 3.19 gigahertz. The mobile phone set a new record at AnTuTu.
Storage
In China, the OnePlus 11 is available with 12 or 16 gigabytes of working memory and 256 or 512 gigabytes of device memory. It remains to be seen whether all variants will make it to Germany.
Camera
The OnePlus 11 offers a triple camera that was developed in cooperation with Hasselblad. The main sensor has a resolution of 50 megapixels. Other lenses include a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 32-megapixel telephoto camera that offers a 2x optical zoom. Only the main camera has an optical image stabilizer.
battery pack
Like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the new cell phone also has a 5,000 mAh battery. This can be charged at the socket with up to 100 watts.
What about the OnePlus 11 Pro?
The OnePlus 11 is here, but so far there is no trace of the OnePlus 11 Pro. It will probably stay that way. Because the manufacturer has announced that it does not intend to release a Pro model this year. OnePlus did not give any reasons for this. Nevertheless, there could soon be another model variant to buy. As with the OnePlus 10 in 2022, OnePlus could soon present a cheaper R variant of its flagship in selected markets.
The OnePlus 11R is rumored to be in development under the codename “Udon”. In comparison, you probably have to make compromises in the processor, among other things. Instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, only the previous year’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip should be used here.
