OnePlus 11 is the successor of its 2022 flagship, OnePlus 10 Pro 5G. However, this year, OnePlus has said there will not be any Pro model, which means getting back to its old strategy and getting competitive with Samsung and Apple, delivering flagship phones at lower and better prices.

So, what impact will it make on the Nepali market? Let’s explore.

Design and display

OnePlus 11 5G has received mixed opinions from people about the design. The design is slightly changed and is based on the last year’s flagship, OnePlus 10 Pro. It has a seamless curvy design with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection in the front and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 at the back for protection. The glass gives a clean finish to the phone and makes it look glossy. It is protected from water and dust using an IP64 rating.

Performance and memory

OnePlus 11 5G has been powered with the all-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is now being used by most of the flagship Android smartphones due to its processing and the wide range of areas it covers. It is based on OxygenOS 13.0, Android 13 along with Adreno 740 as its GPU. OnePlus gives quality specs under a tight budget like these, thus called the flagship killer.

Verdict

With the reviews and OnePlus bringing up their flagship killer motto back, OnePlus 11 5G might bring the brand value back. But, to reduce the cost, OnePlus has given IP64 water resistance instead of IP68 and removed wireless charging. This might not be that much of a problem as people might compromise it. Other than these cost-reducing factors, OnePlus shall make a comeback with the new model.
