OnePlus 11 5G Dual SIM Global Version CPH2449 Europe 256GB 16GB Eternal Green

Regretting Switching to one plus 11 5G. prior to this I have always been using Samsung phones.Reason for low rating isOne of the basic functionality Android Auto has not been working properly.Wireless Android auto not worked till date however after latest SW update with USB it works sometimes but it's not stable. Contacted OnePlus service centre and I allowed them to collect log from device in my car. After about 20 days Someone from oneplus contacted and said can I give them my Phone for couple of days to debug the issue!I asked why you need my phone I am pretty sure every one plus 11 having latest SW (Android 13) will be having same issue.It is really astonishing that OnePlus releasing phones without proper testing of SW ! Poor Quality and even poorer After ... MoreRegretting Switching to one plus 11 5G. prior to this I have always been using Samsung phones.Reason for low rating isOne of the basic functionality Android Auto has not been working properly.Wireless Android auto not worked till date however after latest SW update with USB it works sometimes but it's not stable.

.....They're back!!

I got my pre-order early! I purchased the Eternal Green 16gb/256gb OP11 for $699, so my review is based on that variant/price. Even at $799, this phone is absolutely worth it! Everything about the OP11 is amazing. For $699, where else in the US can you get a phone that has:----- ----- ----- ----- ------ Eye catching design- 2k AMOLED display | 120hz refresh rate | Gorilla Glass Victus | Dolby Vision | HDR10+- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor- 16gb RAM | 256gb storage | UFS 4.0 storage- Triple camera arrangement w/ telephoto lens- 80w super charger in the box- Android 13----- ----- ----- ----- -----Spoiler alert: currently, you can't find a phone that beats this in terms of raw specs vs price.The Eternal Green color is so freakin' nice, it's ... MoreI got my pre-order early!

And the display is simply stunning! It gets super bright, so when I'm viewing it in the sunlight, I've got no issues viewing it! With the Snapdragon 8 get 2, this phone flies, and I mean flies it's so dang fast! The speakers are also great! I'm a medium daily phone user, and I'm getting roughly two days of battery life. Even if you're a heavy user, it ONLY took 32 mins to charge from 0-100%! The haptic feedback is amazing and might just be the best I've ever had on a smartphone! The cameras are very good ... maybe not quite Google Pixel level shots consistently, but close - and sometimes better! For those familiar with OnePlus, this has Oxygen OS, but it's really Color OS. It doesn't bother me, simply due to how customizable the software is!! The in-display fingerprint sensor works flawlessly, as does the face unlock in any environment!! And, when I say flawless, I mean FLAWLESS! It's running Android 13, and the device's first update was already waiting for me!!If you're looking for a phone that has the latest in technology, does everything really well, with an unbelievable price to match, you should consider this phone! It's a great alternative to the same boring companies that overcharge every year for essentially the same phone again and again. And though some may view the OP11 as a downgrade from last year, I'd disagree in every sense, except for the omission of wireless charging, which is unimportant if your phone is fully charged in 30 mins.Consider what you're getting for the price and ask yourself in this day and age, what companies drop their prices while giving you this much bang for your buck? I don't think you'll be disappointed here...

Amazing hardware, software needs work

This phone offers top notch hardware at a very reasonable price. You get the latest processor, fast storage, a crisp vibrant screen, impressive battery life, great speakers, great ergonomics, great haptics, and a decent camera.That said, the software is a major letdown, especially for those coming from previous versions of OxygenOS. The notification panel is clunky and hard to interact with, the gesture navigation doesn't work reliably with third party launchers, and frankly everything feels cluttered compared to stock Android.It's also disappointing that this does not support wireless charging and has slow USB 2.0 for data transfer.Overall, it offers a lot for the money, but it could be a lot better with software optimization. Also give comparable Samsung and ... MoreThis phone offers top notch hardware at a very reasonable price.

Everything I need in a phone and nothing I don't need!

Less is more!Everyone has different needs or expectations, but for me this is the perfect phone: best in class performance, amazing battery life and phenomenal charging speed for a great price.The biggest criticisms of this phone are the features its supposedly missing, that come standard in other flagship phones. But I would argue that that's a strength not a weakness, since I am not paying extra for features I don't need.Wireless charging for example, is a useless, slow, and inefficient gimmick that manufacturers add to get you to waste more money buying more accessories. I love that I can plug this in to the 80W charger that comes included with the phone, jump in the shower, and its fully charged by the time I'm done. Its awesome!Some other criticisms ... MoreLess is more!Everyone has different needs or expectations, but for me this is the perfect phone: best in class performance, amazing battery life and phenomenal charging speed for a great price.The biggest criticisms of this phone are the features its supposedly missing, that come standard in other flagship phones.

I love that I can plug this in to the 80W charger that comes included with the phone, jump in the shower, and its fully charged by the time I'm done. Its awesome!Some other criticisms I would like to debunk are regarding the OS and updates. Oneplus released Android 13 a month before Samsung, and is still the fastest at getting out the latest android versions (not including Google devices ofc). And while Oxygen 12 was a bit of a step back for the OS, they did a great job bouncing-back with Oxygen 13. Its still a great, simple, customizable, minimal-frills android experience. Another little thing I love about this phone that you don't see reviewers mention often, is that it has a really great haptics! It's a small detail that enhances that experience. Combined with the top-notch performance, it just makes using the phone that much more satisfying and enjoyable. You can't beat the performance of this phone for this price. Yes the Pixel has wireless charging but it also has a weaker processor and slower charging. Yes you will get some extra bells and whistles with an S23 Ultra, but you'll also pay almost twice as much. Overall this is a great choice for someone like me who just wants top-tier performance without having to pay a premium for features and extra's you don't really need.

Get this phone!

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 ... MoreI love this phone.

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:')

Great Phone, Tough Finding A Case

This is a great phone. Much more durable body than the 10 Pro. Has a nice metal feel to it.The problem is getting a decent case because of the cameras. It's a bubble that sticks out. I haven't found a case that protects the camera and the front well enough. The case I got has a slider that covers the camera completely, but then obscures the flashlight, and leaves the front exposed because it doesn't go higher than the screen. All other cases, so far, are the opposite. The protect the front, but leave the bubble sticking out. Why they would make this design, instead of the same as the OP 10 Pro is beyond me.The OS is basically the same as the 10 Pro, with a few slight differences. Definitely a good phone, but good luck finding a durable case.

Great phone at an really great price!

So after reading dozens of reviews I finally decided to purchase a new phone. It has been a long while since I bought a phone I was still using my moto zforce2.To be fair my work purchased me an Iphone so I was able to compare Android vs Apple for a couple of years. The new Iphones have issues where the camera takes the picture several times and then compares the photos and makes one "good" photo from the bunch. It never really looks right because of the over processing and there is no way to disable it unless you shoot in RAW mode which is a massive memory hog. Also, for me, the Apple UI is not as user friendly but, to be fair, that is just my opinion.I decided on this phone and was a little worried about the Oxygen OS but it was a very easy transition and the ... MoreSo after reading dozens of reviews I finally decided to purchase a new phone.

Finally, the PRICE! This is where you get in my opinion, a great phone for 1/2 of the Iphone or the Samsung. Bottom line is I would buy it again and, my friends and co-workers are very impressed with it as well.

One plus is back!!!

this phone can go toe to toe with any flagship phone on the market right now, with a price point far less. My favorite part is the battery, over 24 hours on a single charge and full charging in 30min or less, which is super convenient. I'm no camera expert but it takes great pictures for everyday life. The phone speakers are very loud and crystal clear. The screen is beautiful and fast. I haven't had a single bit of lag doing anything. Oxygen OS is one of the cleanest operating systems on the market. It's nice to have a phone that focuses on useful features and leaves all of the gimmicky stuff out. I wouldn't hesitate to buy or recommend this phone.

Patchy start - phone had issues initially; but eventually fixed

One of the worst phones ever. Bluetooth will not sync to the car audio and so one can't do voice calls in the car, through the car speaker system. WhatsApp calls on the phone are erratic. Sometimes one is able to make calls but more often than not, one can't make or receive WhatsApp calls. There is flickering of the screen. Selfie photo quality is very poor. Disappointing over all. And the "Experience" store staff at Phoenix at Lower Parel had the audacity to say all these issues are known issues. Definitely an experience :(. No solution but to change to another brand unfortunately. Looks like One Plus ended being a good phone after 9Pro.EDIT: One Plus sent a technician over and updated the software, etc. The problems are now resolved. So that's ... MoreOne of the worst phones ever. Bluetooth will not sync to the car audio and so one can't do voice calls in the car, through the car speaker system.

But basic customer service definitely needs to be fixed, because one shouldn't have to escalate the issue for it to receive attention and a remedy.

The Flagship Killer Returns

I'm dismayed at the negative reviews I've read on Amazon and anywhere else about this phone. I just don't understand. This phone is BETTER than the best iPhone Pro. It's better than the Samsung S23+ and gives the Samsung S23 Ultra a run for its money. I don't need to pay $1200 for an S-Pen and a 10x zoom camera. I picked this baby up - the 256GB with 16GB RAM model - for $599 on SALE. Guys, that's half, HALF the price of the S23 Ultra. Samsung's One UI is loaded with bloatware. This version of Oxygen OS is a perfect balance of minimalism with plenty of customization. The speakers are VERY loud and put off the most bass I've ever heard out of a phone. The OS is clean, and I do mean CLEAN. The screen is breathingtaking. I encourage you to watch plenty of camera ... MoreI'm dismayed at the negative reviews I've read on Amazon and anywhere else about this phone. I just don't understand.

This phone might just win the best smartphone camera of 2023. I'm shocked. OnePlus really stepped up their game. The simulated potrait bokeh cutouts are insanely accurate. Mind blown! Don't hesitate and don't reward Samsung and their greed. Reward OnePlus for giving us a better phone for half the price. OnePlus, keep this up and you'll put Samsung and Google out of business.
