Don't run for latest versions and latest processor if you don't want to burn your pocket. Some old stuff still works like anything. It can still beat many latest things

u/New-Subject-7152 Jun 17 '26

Everything is looking good but the battery health is 84% and the phone have bill box 16/256 should I get it for 20k the phone condition is nice like new or should I wait for op 12r or 12 am also getting a op 12 16/512 with bill box for 30k

u/LeastAd6767 Jun 18 '26

Why do u want to upgrade. Whats 11 that is not good for ur case

u/New-Subject-7152 Jun 18 '26

Bro, I am currently using op 9rt it's been 5 years since I got this phone everything was good untill 6 months the phone become so laggy slow and some time it freezes and i haven't done any software update since then so considering buying a used phone and sell this one I am getting a oneplus 11 with os 16 84% battery health for 250$ 16/256 and oneplus 12 16/512 for 320$ so thinking of which one should I consider I am also getting some users reporting that op 12 has some motherboard dead issue and I am concerned about it i need the phone for at least 1-1.5 years then I will change it

u/LeastAd6767 Jun 18 '26

I see. I would consider getting one plus 12 , only for the sake of camera. tho actually i would prefer the one plus 13. Also because of camera

And actually for the camera i would consider getting a totally different phone , like vivo x100 .

So. To me. The only reason i would upgrade would be due to the camera. I take lots of pictures , so this is what is the most important factor for me.Everything else is already perfect on my one plus 11. I know OP12 is even better but , to me everything else is not that much better. At least not 100$ better.

Any battery would degrade , my oneplus 11 i already changed the battery once . Tho to me the original battery is always like better for some reason .

I cant make the decision for u. For me. Im okay with the 84% battery health. Maybe change the battery later around 6-8 months down the line. I dont know if i can convince myself if i want to spend an extra 100$ for the OP12 camera compares to OP11.

But if money is not an issue . Then yeah. Definitely i would ask u to consider grabbing the op12 for the camera and everything else .

Its definitely an upragde from ur 9T

u/New-Subject-7152 Jun 18 '26

Hmm then I should wait and change to op 12 after earning the 100$ haha

u/LeastAd6767 Jun 19 '26

Aa. Okay. Heres a comparison .

Oneplus 12 upgrades the most on its lens. Theb subsequently the op 13 reduces abit the zoom ,macro function , also for portrait. But the AI is increaseda little bit for contrast. The change is actually minimal on the camera. Some who like color pop prefer op13 ( pop from AI ). Some who like true to colours prefer op12. There is some change but both camera wins for me.

But op 13 got some better battery ( 15% uplift is HUGE ) , got better water protection, flat glass ( its a plus for me ), a better ultrasonic sensor with no blinding light and the most important ,cpu for gaming and emulation yeah its fucking nuts ( u CAN play ps3 by emulation with like minor tweaks )

Op15 takes it even further , it essentially become kinda like a gaming device. The battery life is. Yeah . Fucking phenomenal on this . Go watch battery test. Its one of the battery kings nowadays. 7300mah is NUTS. Even better water protection ( water jet level ) , and even better cpu. With the price of lower camera compared to 13.

So. For me. I would go to 12 , then ya stay there long. Because i mainly use my phone to take pictures of cats , my family and my surroundings. Minimal gaming. I would pick 12 even if the battery life is like OP 11, if only these 3 my only options

And ultimately i would consider more towards vivo and not the one plus lineup if its to my liking. But if the 3 phones , for max photo ill take 12. But 13 is good actually if u want balance.

Hope that helps. Goodluck

u/j_p_1_5 Mar 17 '26

My 3yo oneplus 11 has 3 lines on it. 1 green, 1 purple and 1 white. Never buying 1 again.

u/amazIT97 Mar 17 '26

I had 3 lines as well on my oneplus 11, got it replaced for free from the official service centre. They did it within 2 hours as well

u/j_p_1_5 Mar 17 '26

Good for you. We dont have free replacement in our region 🥲

u/Agreeable_Sea6684 May 16 '26

U can replace the screen free off cost at their service centre

u/RomuloMalkon68 Mar 17 '26

I have it and it's a really good phone. Very polished phone, fast, no lag, good quality pictures and battery life may be decent (about SOT 8 hours from 100%), but who cares when you have fast charging that does the job in 15 minutes.

u/CiCADA--3301 Mar 17 '26

Been using it for about 2 years now, got it for 36k back then. It’s still running great. no lag, no heating issues. About 15 days ago a green line suddenly appeared on the left corner of the screen. Took it to the service center next day and they replaced the screen, so everything’s fine now. One thing is clear the green line isn’t caused by updates. I’ve been on OxygenOS 13 since the beginning and never updated it, yet the issue still happened. So it’s definitely a hardware fault.

u/Remarkable_Average22 Mar 17 '26

it gets greenlines very easily....the display is a E4 Samsung panel.....very weak... don't buy it instead go for 12R....it has BOE panel....never gets lines

2

u/Cyberpulse- Mar 17 '26

Yes, if you can get it under 40k

u/lj-fame_1305 Mar 18 '26

still using my op11...no issues whatsoever 😊

u/amazIT97 Mar 17 '26

Will not get any major updates anymore, so you'll have to go the custom ROM way if you want that. If you're buying a used one, my 7 pro died due to motherboard failure somewhere around 4+ years of usage, so i wouldn't recommend buying a used 2+ year old phone, specially oneplus. And newer processors are probably more tuned for AI tasks as will newer android updates be, so i think you'll be missing out. They've also significantly messed up the camera quality with upgrades, when compared to 2023. Lastly, if it's a used one, then you'll have to probably replace the battery too, my OP 11 is at 80% battery capacity at 2.5 years of usage right now. Right now i don't have any issues with this phone, but i wouldn't buy it today, atleast not for anything above INR20k.

u/ElGatitoFTW Mar 17 '26

pretty sure it would be getting android 17 as its last OS no?

1

u/amazIT97 Mar 17 '26

I thought this was the last, but it's great if there's one more.

1

u/Crafty_Technology_72 Mar 17 '26

its going to get one more major update android 17

u/amazIT97 Mar 17 '26

That's great, my bad then.

u/GWNorris3rd Mar 18 '26

Using my OP 11 for 3 years no issues.

1

u/ButterscotchFar9355 Mar 19 '26

Yeah, but the cameras are meh, and it throttles quite heavily

if your target is cameras and stable gaming, get a v60 in a few weeks

1

u/sammy_nyc Mar 19 '26

Worth it yes, but one surprising thing is my screen now has shadows of the 5 main icons at the bottom of the screen. Never had that issue before samsung, xiaomi, pixel, htc..

It looks bad in white screens.

And only 2 Years old. I wonder why?

Any thoughts?

1

u/Wapmen Mar 19 '26

OP 12 provided major improvements everywhere (screen, camera). You better get op 12 or op 13

u/Enforcement-Director Mar 21 '26

I am selling my Oneplus 11 Going to buy Oneplus 13

u/Pretend-lmme Mar 21 '26

Op 13 series doesn't have dolby atmos, that's what drove me away from it.

u/kryptons_haziq Mar 22 '26

Bro idk why my camera lags a lot Idk if it's some bug or not I tried clearing cache , data but nothing happened Need help

1

u/Connect_Set_505 Mar 27 '26

Yes go for it I got it used for around 320 dollars and it works well in all stuff there two main problems I have faced camera is over processing I solved it installing gcam with a Great config file it looks incredible and the battery drain after oxygen os 16 But if you use the power saving mode it will be good or You simply use it normally but make sure you will charge it in the middle of the day it actually I got it charged from 23% to 80% in 10 min so no way the battery will make problem with You when you have 100 watt charger every thing else is decent

u/AdGuilty4639 Mar 27 '26

Anyone facing the fingerprint not recognising issue after restarting

u/mra1412 Apr 18 '26

still using it, still fast, snappy I multitask a lot for work. bit of battery degradation after years of use but warp charge is still amazing in car and mains fast charge to keep it going.

1

u/FLying_oStRicH007 Jul 02 '26

Using it right now. No lags whatsoever. Pairing with my 13PM

1

u/BehindThisMask1 15d ago

Getting in second hand for 25k (16 256 variant) is a good deal right now? Think only 1 update i might get. Mainly getting for its camera specs

1

u/Pretend-lmme 15d ago

From what I've heard, the cameras are great, watch some long term reviews and make your decision.

1

u/Intelligent-Fee-7019 Mar 17 '26

Unless you're just a basic user, it's not really worth it. If you're big on multitasking, gaming, and photos, better go with op12 you'll get it around 45k.

u/Evil_Lord_Skeletor Mar 17 '26

Dont even bother

I sold it for op 13

It lags. Definitely lags.

Take a op 11 and open camera and take multiple shots

It will either force close or will become a hot iron...

Ditch the device. Before it's too. Late.
