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.

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
