Meet the OnePlus 11 5G, the latest phone from a manufacturer owned by Oppo. The company has a reputation for making devices that undercut prices from the big guys while still coming close their capabilities, writes tech columnist Dwight Silverman.
. But I can say this: If the OnePlus 11 had been available then, it likely would have been my choice.One thing’s for sure: No one is going to mistake the OnePlus 11 for any other smartphone. Yes, it has a nearly bezel-free display with a hole-punch for the front camera, as do several Android handsets, and there’s Corning Victus glass for the front and Gorilla Glass 5 for the back, bolted to an aluminum frame that feels great in your hand.
Overall, the performance is fantastic, and in ways that seem practical. For example, the face recognition and under-screen fingerprint scanner for unlocking the device are lightning-quick — much faster than any Samsung or Apple device I’ve used. It handled any game I threw at it with ease, and video streaming on Netflix and YouTube was flawless.
The OnePlus 11 come with Android 13 and a skin atop it called OxygenOS 13. But it’s a “lite” skin that is much less obvious than Samsung’s often overbearing OneUI, with very little bloatware. The interface is also quite customizable. For example, I could turn off the virtual buttons found at the bottom of the display on most Android phones so it behaved more like an iPhone, navigated completely with gestures.
Yet where the camera system really shines is in low-light and portrait images. I’m a big fan of smartphone night photography, and the OnePlus 11 challenges Apple’s best. It’s also very good with portrait mode, and in many instances avoids the cutout look you often notice on iPhone portraits, with more natural edges for the subject of the photos.
