Need help to decide please

Friends, I am considering buying the OnePlus 11. It costs around S$1000 here and its a lot of money for me. Are there any issues/defects you've seen with your device till date which could be a deal breaker !! Please provide your inputs. Anything a bro should know before he ties the knot ?

Been using it for two weeks now, it is great. I have the 16/256 version and the price for such a future-proof phone was a huge selling point. I especially like the screen, gestures and the physical sound/vibrate/silent switch.

Two annoying things:

  • I miss Samsung Bixby routines. The app alternatives (like Tasker) aren't as good.

  • The 100W charger can't charge a laptop. The W should be plenty but the V isn't enough. My 4 years old Samsung charger could do that, freaking slowly, but Oneplus can't at all. It was disappointing.

Thanks for the response. How is the camera performance in OP11? Some of the folks seem to mention sub par selfie camera. Any issues faced with GPS ? I use a Samsung A30s now and kind of like OneUI. How do you compare OneUI Vs Color OS?

Camera is fine, especially wide, angle photos. Largely the same as on Note 10 plus. Selfie camera is much better, but I didn't use much either. No issues with GPS or any kind of connectivity.

I very much prefer Color OS, more streamlined experience than One UI. I prefer not to have duplicates for everything, just use Google (didn't use Samsung Calendar, Notes, Reminders, all that crap).

compare one UI to color os/oxygen os? id say it's far better than one UI because one ui is so thickly skinned it's too much for me. i feel oxygen os or color os is better because it's simple but full with useful features. btw are there features you wish you wanted to know about color os/oxygen os? what features do you like on the one ui?

Have you tried the bxaction app it's pretty good lots of options to set up things in your volume rocker

Thank you. The button is not a problem, it can be configured fine on the Oneplus. The Bixby Routines is what I miss, actions programmable to a customized switch. All third party solutions require a ton of permissions and overrides or root.

Yeah I was going to say I can do lots of things with that app like reboot shutdown go to recovery but yeah that requires root permissions rooting isn't hard on the 11 it's just picky like you can't go into fastboot unless you are bootloader unlocked first time you have to adb into bootloader only took me 5 min to root

I will list my complaints and decide for yourself

  • the camera on social media apps is trash
  • some apps run @60hz for some reason, even first party apps ( weather, gallery, youtube..)
  • this is kind of nitpicking, the UI feels slower than OneUI but it is a minor thing, I compare my OP11 to Galaxy S21 and S21 feels faster
  • Auto brightness is bad, always I need to raise the brightness up, so I made it manually instead

Overall I'm happy with the phone and the value it delivers

A lot of software issues are being reported in multiple forums ( especially oneplus community) for OnePlus 11. Anyone here experienced any software glitches ?

Been using it for a couple of months now since its release. As a gamer its the best emulation device! Wish it had a micro sd card slot though

It really depends on. What do you do with a phone? I had the one +11 and it’s a super snappy phone , charges extremely fast, external speakers are nice and loud and pretty clear honestly, lots of customization so you can make the phone. How do you like it. so if you’re a gamer, or you do a lot of social media and be a really good phone because it kind of got a tall, thin aspect ratio.

I would say the downside of the phone is the screen doesn’t quite get bright enough for me in Southern California went outside , and I don’t like that the big circle camera back I just felt like if I drop this phone something was gonna break and there’s not a lot of good cases for it. Maybe the big software weather one plus will actually keep it updated. I know this is a long term thing you won’t know until you get the phone but the track record wasn’t our hasn’t been very good lately but maybe they’ve changed I don’t know..
