For some time, OnePlus was the go-to name for mid-range excellence, producing phones that took on the might of Samsung and Apple, but at a lower price. Following on from last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro, the firm’s newest flagship is the OnePlus 11 there’s no Pro’ version this year.
Built in partnership with Hasselblad, the impressive-on paper triple-lens setup comprises a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultra-wideangle, and a 32MP short telephoto. The latter only’ offers a 48mm equivalent lens, suppposedly on the basis that people take pictures of people more than distant subjects. The usual hyperbole about the device being capable of DSLR-level images is included, facilitated by a Hasselblad Portrait Mode’. According to OnePlus, this mode has been benchmarked against actual Hasselblad XCD 30mm and 65mm optics to achieve similar results. Big words.
Another promised benefit of the collaboration is improved Natural Color Calibration’, which promises richer colours. A 13-channel multispectral sensor’ is said to identify and remove colour bias from surrounding light conditions.
Other interesting photographic features include the ability to record video at up to 8K resolution, a manual mode, the option to record in raw format, and slow-motion options. Other specs include a 5,000 mAh battery with super-fast charging. A charging plug is included in the box a relative rarity for modern smartphones.
Design
With its 6.7in screen, the OnePlus 11 is on the large side as smartphones go. The screen has a QHD+ resolution at 525ppi and does a fantastic job of showing off your images.
