OnePlus 11 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The OnePlus 11 is OnePlus's 2023 flagship: a 6.7-inch 120 Hz OLED, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Hasselblad-tuned cameras, and 100 W charging in a 205 g body. It launched at $699 for the 8/128 GB configuration — a deliberate price undercut — and that tier now trades used for around $250, with 16/256 GB units near $368. For raw hardware per dollar, few catalog entries compete.

Display and design

The 6.7-inch curved OLED peaks at 1,300 nits with a 120 Hz refresh, scoring 68/100 on our screen-quality axis — adequate indoors, a step behind brighter rivals in direct sun. At 205 g with a compactness score of 77/100 it is a manageable large phone. Protection is IP64: splash-resistant only, a genuine downgrade for the class.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 remains a capable chip — our gaming score of 40/100 represents comfortable mid-to-high setting play, and everyday responsiveness is still fluid. About one year of the four-year support window remains, so platform longevity is nearly spent.

Camera

The Hasselblad system pairs a 50 MP stabilised main sensor with ultrawide and 32 MP 2x telephoto modules, shooting to 8K at 24 fps. Our camera score of 58/100 is near the top of the catalog: colour tuning is pleasing, though zoom reach is modest by periscope standards.

Battery and charging

The 5,000 mAh battery earns a 40/100 battery-life score with 100 W wired charging at 80/100 — roughly half-hour full charges that still embarrass most 2026 flagships.

Verdict

The OnePlus 11 at around $250 used is the budget enthusiast's shortcut to 2023 flagship hardware — 100 W charging, a good main camera, clean performance — with three caveats: IP64 splash-only protection, one support year left, and 2x zoom reach. If those matter, the OnePlus 12R adds battery and brightness for similar money, and the OnePlus 12 adds a periscope and IP65.
