I bought OP 9 Pro in 2021 only because of Oxygen OS. In the course of a year and a half the OS changed looks completely 2 or 3 times, camera app degraded sooo much with every update losing the smooth lens transitioning and other stuff. Never ever again will i buy a chinese OS smartphone
I was really disappointed OnePlus fell off. Looking for an upgrade from the 6t made me go with the Pixel 7. There's so many small, nice things about Oxygen OS I got used to that apparently aren't standard on other Android phones. Never thought OnePlus would return to glory, but maybe there's hope?
@@animalhouse8849 I might be spoiled by fast media from things like shorts and titktok but many UA-camrs make me impatient/sleepy with their flow, I guess a good script is also part of it
I have never been so happy with a flagship phone able to get LineageOS. Working with the 9Pro, but looking for a secondary phone for programming, the 11 looks nice.
I feel OP peaked with the OP7 Pro/OP7T Pro; been using it since release and I see no reason to upgrade. I refuse to switch from a phone with no notch/punch-out to a screen that does! Great review as always, been watching for years ✌️
I had the OnePlus 7 pro, one of my fav phones. Unfortunately I shattered the screen real good and I got the pixel 7 to replace it. I like it a lot but I miss that hole punch less display of the op7.
Same story here. Uninterrupted screen is the only thing keeping me from upgrading immediately. My 7 Pro is getting noticeably laggy and the battery life is awful nowadays, but I refuse to "upgrade" if it means giving up screen real estate.
Unfortunately I dropped mine and broke the screen, so being forced to choose between this and the Pixel 7 pro. Both look good, but with a few glaring omissions. The lack of decent telephoto, no wireless charging and overall weaker camera with the OP11 vs slow charging, weak battery, underpowered chip of the P7 pro. Don't think should be so many compromises at this price range.
OnePlus 8 Pro is really good too. If you liked OnePlus back in the day but wanted the full flagship experience then I would say the 8 Pro was peak minus the change to a hole-punch instead of the pop-up. If you watch the reviews back when it came out and even at the end of 2020, the 8 Pro and 8Ts were HUGE successes. The 7s were probably more popular since the price was so much cheaper than the 8s and more in line with the "flagship killer" trope. I still have my 8 Pro from 2020 and I think it was worth it for the better camera performance. Moving away from the original OxygenOS kinda sux, but I believe the 7s also have that issue.
My major trust issue is with the software side of things. As a 7T customer, i've watched as the experience got worse and worse since 2021, to the point where I had to install the final update for the 7T myself as a sideload! I can't trust OnePlus anymore after that, especially since I hold on to my phones for 4 years at a time. As much as they promise to be different, I need a company actually COMMITTED to at least security updates for that amount of time, which I doubt they are. I guess that will leave me with the S23 or 24 when I upgrade next year.
Same, the software update for my 7T made me hate it! And seeing reviews where every new phone since the 7T has not improved the camera tech much, and the software hasn't gotten better... and now they remove features like wireless charging. Forget it, I'm switching to Sony or the Pixel next time. Heck, even though I don't like Samsung's UI, I might even consider the next Flip!
Same here. My 7T has been a nightmare software-wise. They took ages to update to Android 11, and 12 was just embarrassing all around, not to mention the bugs in 12 and constant (broken) promises of AOD. I love the hardware, but I'm sick and tired of fighting the software. Even if OP goes back to the drawing board and separates OOS from ColorOS, how can I trust them to keep it that way? So I switched to Galaxy S23. Four android updates and five years of security updates sounded really convincing. I was worried I wouldn't like OneUI but so far I'm very happy with it and the phone in general.
Yes I also have 7T with A12 and I'm not happy with what they done but it's 3.5 year old phone and I don't remember if they promised so long support. Anyway this OP11 looks promising, if they guarantee that updates maybe they will do it, less phones in portfolio means they will be able to keep more attention. Face unlock is much slower and swiping on google calendar widget is buggy now.
looks like a decent phone but wish they would bring that SWEET ultramarine blue they had on the OP8...haven't seen that color since and I have no clue why
Yeah I miss the Blue colors from the OP7 series too. And the mist grey from the OP9. I don't know why OnePlus suddenly decided to fixate on green and only green.
If OnePlus gets it together with the front facing camera, clean up the software even further and a telephoto that can record video (I actually like 2x better than 3x or longer) it'll be my next phone for sure
WiFi 7, DDR5X, UFS 4, 1440P Display, better than serviceable cameras, mad fast charging speeds..."if" they honor the update policy this is a solid win in the price category, wireless charging withstanding. Great video Michael!
The problem with 1+ is that they themselves seem to know that the weird decisions(removing wireless charging, alert slider, camera setup etc) they make on their lineup won't go well with their fanbase, but they decide go with those choices nonetheless. At this point, BBK should just rebrand Vivos X line of phones to 1+ outside of China because atleast there you'd get a full flagship offering.
Well, If you don't know, people were polled and voted out wireless charging for faster wired charging instead. This wireless charging is stupid things US users do.
Michael, I too miss the OnePlus 7 Pro ... the one I got in 2021 started mucking up in October (camera motor was grinding, and the battery was fading fast.). So I traded it in for a Galaxy S22+ which ... was stolen. Now, I'm using an Alcatel Flip phone, till I can pan handle enough to feed my cats, myself, and buy an S20 or S21 from a used show, here in Toronto. Life isn't fair. I tell you what.
I realized youtube hasn't been reccomending me your videos for a bit! I missed your videos and I love the way you make them! Hope to see OnePlus come back around and remember what made them so different from the competition.
Finally someone who says they miss pop up cameras! What ever happened to those? Liked the full screen on my F11 Pro before I eventually ditched that since Oppo's OS skin -is still- awful.
Magnificent! Thank you Michael!! My original Nord is still performing admirably, so I might just be able to wait till next year, for wireless to return, or skip to Oppo Find N2, to finally accept your folding message. Until then, I'm happy to "make do" with a Pixel 6Pro, iPhone 13Pro and Xperia 1iv to fill the gap 😉
Thanks for a great video and for mentioning the return of the dual SIM; something else that OP phones had, lost and now have again. The OP website does not mention this. If I was in the US, I'd be tempted by a trade-in for this.
The OnePlus 7 Pro was my favorite one of them all. Since then I’ve moved to iPhone and Samsung for my primary phones. Never Settle? Feels like they just did lol
I loved my 7Pro it was the coolest phone I have had so far. The pop up selfie camera was a true show stopper. Sadly the next few phones missed the mark for me. I'm back to Samsung galaxy again.
Great video as always, Michael! And your final part about the potential software updates is spot on! The main reason why I didn't go for a Oneplus this time around (after the 3T and 7Pro) was the terrible software support... Android 12 is a buggy joke on the 7Pro... Never (settle) again... I went for Samsung this time around
Question pertaining to something I think many reviews aren’t touching on… The 2X telephoto camera appears to be the same size sensor as the primary (1/1.56), making this one of, if not the only, smartphone with an equally sized sensor for a secondary lens. It’s understandable that the far zoom photos are not up to par compared to others, but what about 2x portraits? Have you found that the telephoto sensor is better than other brands’ solution of cropping in on the primary sensor?
The portrait performance is good (especially with the Hasselblad Master mode color enhancements - see samples) but to me that doesn't negate the overall loss of capability as a result of using 2x optics when 3x and 5x are the new norm.
@@TheMrMobile Thanks a ton for responding. That was the sole reason I was interested in the device. I’m hoping more devices start using multiple sensors that are equally sized so that we don’t have such a drop in quality (like the Samsung 10x optical lens getting similar results to Google’s 4x optical).
Correction: initial reports had the telephoto sensor as 1/1.56 but it’s actually a smaller 1/2.74 sensor which makes sense with the underwhelming response I’ve seen.
If you live in the States you're fairly reduced to Samsung or Apple. You can go with something like this and not get wireless charging, real water and dust resistance, etc. We already lost headphone jacks and IR blasters. I'm done losing features
As a photographer and cinematographer myself, i have to appreciate them puting a 2x telephoto lens on the phone. 50mm is around the focal length where faces have accurate distortion, a 2x telephoto is around the same focal length which is good for portrait photos
@@CREEPINGIRON Tello is a T-Mobile MVNO, and as a T-Mobile subscriber I found coverage comparable in the markets I tested (see sponsor spot for the list).
Love the videos. I completely disagree with the hassle blah deal. 150 million should have been spent on developing better camera software and computation. Camera is always the weak spot through all the times.
@hmm no major company is coming out with prop up or under screen camera now a days, It's just a phase & not many even bothered about that anymore & yeah Usb c speed would be better.
If it had those features, it would kinda increase the price, Just 699$ phone of "almost" all flagship features is the whole point here. If price is more again last year UA-camrs & internet warriors Battle will start on price.
I'd like to try Vivo phones for their Zeiss simulations of their classic lenses. Now watching your review I understand OnePlus with Hasselblad collaboration as there is a parent company for both smartphone brands. Nevertheless there is a contradiction in these approaches: straight out of camera photos from dedicated and long lasting cameras have a natural look by relying in hardware rather than software; smartphone cameras, almost disposable devices, are in a race to use more software to get thinner hardware, tailored to tastes of general audiences, not printing needs of professionals. I feel collaborations don't show a noticeable difference, besides an additional label.
I'd disagree here, the Leica collaboration truly helped Huawei dominate the smartphone still camera game for about 3 years and their influence has really helped Huawei get their head in the camera game Same goes for Vivo, they're cameras have really been dominant and constantly improving since their collaboration with Zeiss, it's honestly been unbelievable since their smartphone stills were some of the most autotuned and saturated ones out there and now, with Zeiss Natural Color on, they're refreshingly restrained yet retaining amazing image clarity and color. Oneplus's collaboration with Hasselblad however hasn't resulted in such a dramatic increase in still quality, it's still hinging on a lot of gimmicky modes to leverage the hassleblad branding and that just makes me sad
@@govardhanposina17 I had a Huawei P8 lite withoit Leica branding, the camera app was excellent and the integration to Lightroom better than in my current Samsung S20 FE. My point is that more than a collaboration smartphone companies get inspiration from camera companies, this because if not for side by side comparisons is difficult to notice differences between smartphone flagships, and because camera companies, despite their heritage, aren't big enough to evolve their products at the pace of smartphones as the costs would be prohibitive. A simple way to prove this is that the technology in smartphones is seldom translated into digital cameras, or coming from them; you have Huawei pioneering Leica bokeh simulations, but you won't have Leica doing, let's say, a small Leica X Vario successor with a simulated bokeh to compensate for the dim lens and smaller aps-c sensor or making smartphones directly in that profitable market, it is more work from the smartphone engineers that without the collaborations still as my budget Huawei shows, can make elegant colors and well done exposures.
I've watched a ton of oneplus 11 reviews and hands down this is one of the best and well put reviews out there. It's just beautifully crafted! Wish it was a bit longer tho :)
Years ago wireless charging was ok to void but not these days. Nearly everyone has a wireless charging pad. It's also crazy they created their own great wireless charging dock but now won't even use it.
100% this. It would be one thing if they just never adopted it. But OnePlus developed its own high-speed wireless charging product that was the fastest offered in the US ... and then abandoned it. Ridiculous.
Fair argument if it was slow charging like pixels, Samsung, and Apple. But oh how we overlook the fact in 15 minutes you get half a charge or more. Wireless charging is nice but I'll take fast charging any day over wireless.
Great insight Michael.... I remember owning One Plus 7T and one plus 8 Pro, which I still believe were the best phones One plus has made till date, with special mention of One Plus 6T McLaren edition, as the show stopper... I think one plus really went haywire after one plus 9R and the variants that followed. OXYGEN OS, that was purest form of any mobile operating system, is now unbreathable in its current form. Let's hope OnePlus gets its A game in the right direction. We need Brands like OnePlus to make the top dogs like Samsung, Apple and Google to set the bar a bit higher and to keep their devices fresh and be a bit more competitive in the top tier "clash of the Titans" segment... Thanks once again for an awesome review. GOD BLESS 😇👍🏻 and "Live Long and Prosper...!!" 🖖🏻
Unlike OnePlus, I appreciate that Mr. Mobile is consistent with his phone reviews. He's pretty much had a polished review style since starting this channel.
OnePlus 7 Pro was one of my favorite phones of all time. Haven't been too excited about the brand since. Looks like a Samsung, is priced like a Samsung, but can't take photos like a Samsung and the software isn't as refined as a Samsung
I bought a Sony Xperia 10 iii in December of 2021. Decent budget (still like $300 I think) phone with a headphone jack and tall aspect ratio. Can't find cases for it though since I'm not sure it ever actually came to North America, I imported mine. I'm getting frustrated the best brands are ignoring my want for a headphone jack. Sony is the only reliable brand left with the feature it seems, keeping android security up to date for 3 years so far (I think). I am excluding the Pixel A, since I had such a bad time with my Pixel 3 hardware. I consider Google a bad brand. Maybe OnePlus will have to start serving odd features/markets. Despite how well this phone has been received, they have a lot of competition in this area.
Xperia owner here (1ii), am honestly somewhat disappointed with my purchase. I like most of the phone - though Sony's software support is just genuinely awful (*two* OS updates even to this day with the $1500 Xperias?? really?) plus the obvious lack of support since I also imported my unit. But alas, they're basically the only flagships nowadays with a microSD slot and a headphone jack, so do I really have another choice? Even more so if I want something that's not a 6.7 inch monstrosity. P.S. Pretty sure the Pixels have gotten far better since the P3 days... Was really tempted to go pick up a 6a before I realized how expensive those were due to them also being imports. Still think my next phone will be a Pixel.
@@franklingoodwin and Sony has far, far less models to deal with and support compared to Samsung, plus their skin isn't as much over Android as One UI...
I just pulled the trigger on getting an Xperia 5 iv for 520€. For the past two years I had been thinking that *I'll wait for the next year to get a well priced high end phone* just to realize everything was pretty much overpriced. Luckily sites that sell used phones are becoming more affordable and Xperias seem to be hard to sell second hand, although mine was a return product. Tbh my current original Xperia 1 is doing fine, but it's in a way a first generation product.
If someone can track all these changes (and a pretty important ones ! ) it is definitely a guy named Mr Mobile for sure ! Indeed the camera island is coming to terms with the fact it is there and taking the advantage of its presence there. 3:54 - you haven't seen enough "deeply unfortunate selfies" if this one is what you call that... ;-) Thanks for telling us about this weird and changeable beast.
Pop up selfie with 100% screen is why I still rock my good One+ 7 Pro. S23U still only has 8 bit color? Got that covered. No punch holes, no drops, no islands, just all screen which is the one feature I use everyday. Selfies, not so much. Mirrors are better.
I have never understood wireless charging. I like to use my phone while charging and don't want to drop it on and off on and off on and off. I like to just plug it in and charge while using it. And the "convenience" of putting it on a pad overnight or something is hardly game changing. I think it's a feature people try to convince themselves to like.
Fill your home and office (and car) with wireless charging pads and you'll feel differently. Hunting for a cable to plug in feels very primitive thereafter.
@@TheMrMobile I completely agree, once you really start using wireless charging and integrating it in your daily routine it's difficult to go back. This phone at least charges really quick so its not a huge deal breaker, but for the Pixel the stand charges nearly as quick as it does plugged in so its really convenient, plus the extra features
The lack of wireless charging is a deal killer. I actually have a OP9 and it still works great for my needs. My next phone will need wireless charging. I use that feature every day.
@@MaximusAlcarinque nearly every one I know uses wireless charging, both Android and Apple users. There is no argument that wired fast chargers can be superior in some situations (and I use both) but that doesn't mean people shouldn't have both options.
For me wireless charging isn't even a thing I consider when buying a phone. It's too slow and inconvenient to be worth it. Wired charging is just all around better.
After getting the one plus open a few weeks ago and falling in love with the experience I decided to pick one of these up. Zero regrets, I honestly think it does everything very well. The charging and battery life are outstanding. I don't personally care about wireless charging, it's convenient but I'm an overnight charger so it doesn't affect my life at all. I think the cameras are just fine, are they monsters? Nope, but they take perfectly fine point and shoot photos. I'm looking forward to the 12 unveil
Reasons to own a OnePlus phone: - Industry leading speed with flagship performance. - Insane charging speed and big battery life. - Cheaper flagship specs. You don't buy a OnePlus phone to have the very best camera available on the market or for gimmicks like wireless charging. Why bother with wireless charging when it's slower, and the dock is connected to a cable anyway. Why not just slot your phone onto the cable itself and enjoy much faster charging speed? The fact that the OnePlus 11 has decent cameras, 4 years android support and updates, AND it has monster performance and battery life/ charge speed is a game changer for me that separates it from the likes of the pixel 7. Batteries will degrade over time, but charging speed will remain consistent - the fact I can plug my OnePlus 8 into the charger and have it top up to nearly full in like 20 minutes is ridiculously good, I could never swap to a slower charge again.
I get it Michael and that's why I would be go prefer the pixel than oneplus 100x better because their inconsistencies but the oneplus 11 changed my mind but they had a long way to be actually back
Nice video, loved the point you raised about inconsistency but this felt more like an impression video because there was not mention of software which one plus gets critiszied for.
The 8t wasn't IP68 rated unless you had the T-Mobile variant, despite being the same phone. Not sure why you're concerned? The phone just doesn't have the certification.
Thanks just ordered mine, and trading my 7t pro McLaren for, total price just over 6 hundred for the to of the line 16 ram, free up grade right now!!! Go get it!
Another excellent review. I got the 10 Pro and ended up returning it because I was a bit underwhemled with the camera. I might give the 11 a fair shake.
Awesome review as always. I loved Oneplus when they first launched and most were not sure.And agree with you the changes that were also up and down. I am glad that it is still available.Need to see what is next.Thanks so much for all the great info on the Future.✌️
Great video my friend. The phone however does no look so great. I'm curious if anyone prefers the front camera hole on the side rather than in the middle? Personally I would hate it being on the side. And no wireless charging. huge SMH.
Good sensor need only some updates and collab with hassleblad is not bad idea..dont need wireless charger 100 watts wire charger and longlife battery is enough...sd gen 2 is a flagship processir and an ltpo amoled display good for viewing and gaming...ip68 rating is not a deal breaker...
Even though I watched the video by other youtubers, watching MrMobile video is fun and always connects with the viewer. Amazing work as always. You look a lot like young Robert Downey Jr and I hope Marvel gets you on their Iron Man movies lol
I'm still using the oneplus 7t pro the pop up camera is the best idea they had I will upgrade to a phone that also has a pop up cera or under screen camera and so far all the phones that offer theses feature lack in much more important aspects for example the red magic has terrible software and bad cameras which doesn't feel much of an upgrade from what I already have I hope that the oneplus 11 pro comes with a pop up camera or under the screen one that would definitely be one hell of an upgrade from the 7t pro
Cheers for helping me choose what to have for dinner tonight, your Dad's chilli looked awesome. Oh, great video review by the way. Sending power and blessings from Melbourne Australia.
I had the pixel 7 pro,I didn't like it,sure the camera is good, but I found the whole experience so boring, there stock android is like an apple version of Android,not much customization, extremely slow charging ie only 30w, compared to the 100 watt on the oneplus, the oneplus 11 is a great phone.
Aw, man. Sad to see them drop the ball like this. You're right about them being inconsistent. I didn't even know they'd been swapping charging standards. And that's an ugly bloody holepunch. So does that just leave Sony as the last holdout for this year for uncompromising phones? The Xperia 1 IV was a ridiculously good phone, so I'm intrigued by how the 1 V is going to be as a potential _"milestone"_ number for them.
** No UDC no party ** OnePlus must think more laterally with sales. It can't be a ''1 phone fits all' strategy. On their site, or in the store, or both they should have 2 sections - 1 selfie lovers and 2 media watchers. The selfie lovers get a hole punch with the best selfie camera possible. The media watchers get a new improved UDC and may not use selfie at all. Come on, we don't all want a hole punch. Do this for the 12 and also please improve the charging speed to at least 80W.
Guess we probably know why Carl left. Good for him. It's been meh for OnePlus ever since. The 8 Pro was my last. Jumped ship after OxygenOS became ColorOS except in name.
Still a big no for me,my last one plus had storage full in other category. My own personal stuff hardly occupied any space. Been 2 years and they still haven't fixed this bug 3.
Can you tell Tello to come to Canada. We need some competition to bring down cellphone plan rates here. Unlimited everything doesn't exist for anything less than an arm and a leg.
I feel like the disparity between tech reviewer's thoughts on Wireless Charging vs average consumers is pretty great. If phones charge this fast on a wire, why the hell would I ever want to wirelessly charge? Keep it.
This has been my opinion. There a lot of emphasis on a slow charging method. Fast charging and battery life negates the need for wireless. Also why? I now need to buy a charging pad and if I'm not at home I have to be somewhere that has it........... It's a big deal for nothing. My 2018 Tesla has a spot to sit the phone and just plug into the cable, as of 2020 they added wireless charge and basically put a charge pad where the plug was literally the only difference was pushing down to connect the phone. This seems like a good enough phone.
Ah finally some big youtuber to say they miss the pop-up. As a happy 7T Pro user looking for upgrade, couldn't agree more with you. I refuse to buy a phone with notch or punch hole. I'll wait as much as it's needed for under screen or it worst case my phone dies.
I've been a OnePlus fan for the longest but tbh they're losing my interest.. I really don't wanna get the s23 plus but there's so many things with OnePlus that's frustrating to me I just might have to venture over to the galaxy side again since the galaxy s5.. BUT, nothing is more frustrating than Bixby imo... I'm stuck 🤦🏽♂️
There's one thing I'd like to point out that's been in every one of these videos. It's also something I think most phone reviews make sure to pay attention to. It's the color composition in every phone camera shot! There's always a splash of blue visible in every one of these photos, along with at least one or two other colors... My pictures would never come out as well as many of these reviewers could manage, and it's because they're paying attention to detail that I didn't know was important for the longest time. If you don't have these colors included somewhere in your shots, then your photos will come out lifeless and colorless, as many of my food shots can attest.
phones specs are really intriguing, but that camera bump is something alright. Not having wireless charging is a bummer, you hit the nail on the head with me a (one plus 9 user) looking for an upgrade. Just not really sure if the trade-off of not having wireless charging is worth it. although there are third party options around this issue 🤔🤔
I think the only time a OnePlus was on my maybe list was.. I think the OnePlus 2 when I cross-shopped used ones with used HTC One M9s, but I went with the M9, partly cuz of the microSD expansion, and mostly because I'd lusted for that HTC One for ages.
Thanks for covering more of the camera than simple point and shot like everyone else does. Oneplus cameras are fun and keep people shooting. Their RAW+ mode is one of the best
Thank you Michael! Not only for your excellent reviews, but also for your excellent choice of sponsorship! We just got a Tello line for a visiting family member and we're so happy with it. Significantly better for short-term needs than regular carriers.
It's 2023, you'll can't keep expecting top specs for half the price of the OG brands. This phone is great for what it has. I'm someone that don't care for wireless charging because these phones charge so damn fast anyways. The only thing the OG brands have over this phone that matters is better camera. And these cameras are great for what most ppl use it for anyways Social Media. I still have my OnePlus 7 Pro.. Love that phone.
Another amazing video as usual, but OnePlus has forever lost me as a customer, through its buggy patches and updates and I say this as a 5 year and running user of a OnePlus phone. No matter what they do, and not that they do anything anymore, I am never going to purchase another phone from them ever again and especially at the price point they are asking for now.
Nice vid! It's a shame it doesn't matter how good they could make a phone m they'll ruin it with shitty updates like they've been doing for a while now
OnePlus 11 pro with 512gb and 12gb RAM and a 5500-6000 mAh battery for 999 with 100w+ and their fast wireless charging would've been excellent. Have a 1tb and 16g RAM option for 1199 and they would've killed the competition. I'm assuming the camera could've been better with on both phone with a 3x on the 11 and a 5x on the pro.
Years ago, I had one plus one via invite only program. Although they did mature i have to agree, they just cant figure out their vision. They want to work on new cool shiny things without perfecting what they already have. Oh boy, this bring me back to the days when my one plus one device had a yellow tint due to glue not settling before device being shipped. I remember i had to use UV light to get rid of the problem. Oh boy, good old days. Due to exact reasons above i would always recommend apple, Samsung or pixel phone. They just have better re-sell value. I remember when i was selling my phone, people were confused about the brand.
My god this review was brilliant and so spot on. I can respect the effort OP is making but am in shock that they omitted wireless charging. That point on their cutting edge wireless charging buyers being alienated from upgrading made it hit home even more. Crazy
@@andyH_England "their users" = double edged sword. you listen but also limit your growth to appeal to the swash of buyers that migrated to the other 3 brands. I could fully understand them not utilizing their fast wireless charging. None at all? Inexcusable

Same boat here, not to mention ts still performs great. Just gotta swap that battery and you're good to go
I had the OnePlus 7 pro, one of my fav phones. Unfortunately I shattered the screen real good and I got the pixel 7 to replace it. I like it a lot but I miss that hole punch less display of the op7.
Same story here. Uninterrupted screen is the only thing keeping me from upgrading immediately. My 7 Pro is getting noticeably laggy and the battery life is awful nowadays, but I refuse to "upgrade" if it means giving up screen real estate.
Unfortunately I dropped mine and broke the screen, so being forced to choose between this and the Pixel 7 pro. Both look good, but with a few glaring omissions. The lack of decent telephoto, no wireless charging and overall weaker camera with the OP11 vs slow charging, weak battery, underpowered chip of the P7 pro.
Don't think should be so many compromises at this price range.
OnePlus 8 Pro is really good too. If you liked OnePlus back in the day but wanted the full flagship experience then I would say the 8 Pro was peak minus the change to a hole-punch instead of the pop-up. If you watch the reviews back when it came out and even at the end of 2020, the 8 Pro and 8Ts were HUGE successes. The 7s were probably more popular since the price was so much cheaper than the 8s and more in line with the "flagship killer" trope. I still have my 8 Pro from 2020 and I think it was worth it for the better camera performance. Moving away from the original OxygenOS kinda sux, but I believe the 7s also have that issue.
My major trust issue is with the software side of things. As a 7T customer, i've watched as the experience got worse and worse since 2021, to the point where I had to install the final update for the 7T myself as a sideload! I can't trust OnePlus anymore after that, especially since I hold on to my phones for 4 years at a time. As much as they promise to be different, I need a company actually COMMITTED to at least security updates for that amount of time, which I doubt they are. I guess that will leave me with the S23 or 24 when I upgrade next year.
Yeah, if you're looking for monthly security updates that arrive on time (the same month) you can only really rely on Google and Samsung
I also made the mistake of installing the android 12 on my 7T and I am paying the price now.
Same, the software update for my 7T made me hate it! And seeing reviews where every new phone since the 7T has not improved the camera tech much, and the software hasn't gotten better... and now they remove features like wireless charging. Forget it, I'm switching to Sony or the Pixel next time. Heck, even though I don't like Samsung's UI, I might even consider the next Flip!
Same here. My 7T has been a nightmare software-wise. They took ages to update to Android 11, and 12 was just embarrassing all around, not to mention the bugs in 12 and constant (broken) promises of AOD. I love the hardware, but I'm sick and tired of fighting the software.
Even if OP goes back to the drawing board and separates OOS from ColorOS, how can I trust them to keep it that way?
So I switched to Galaxy S23. Four android updates and five years of security updates sounded really convincing. I was worried I wouldn't like OneUI but so far I'm very happy with it and the phone in general.
Yes I also have 7T with A12 and I'm not happy with what they done but it's 3.5 year old phone and I don't remember if they promised so long support. Anyway this OP11 looks promising, if they guarantee that updates maybe they will do it, less phones in portfolio means they will be able to keep more attention. Face unlock is much slower and swiping on google calendar widget is buggy now.
looks like a decent phone but wish they would bring that SWEET ultramarine blue they had on the OP8...haven't seen that color since and I have no clue why
I loved that color as well!
Yeah I miss the Blue colors from the OP7 series too. And the mist grey from the OP9. I don't know why OnePlus suddenly decided to fixate on green and only green.
If OnePlus gets it together with the front facing camera, clean up the software even further and a telephoto that can record video (I actually like 2x better than 3x or longer) it'll be my next phone for sure
Don't forget a desktop mode that's actually usable
Clean up the software? Good joke, it's so buggy
It's 600 bucks mate
@@gie3973 it's not in Europe. More like 800.
@@gie3973 hahaha it's the equivalent of $950 in the UK
WiFi 7, DDR5X, UFS 4, 1440P Display, better than serviceable cameras, mad fast charging speeds..."if" they honor the update policy this is a solid win in the price category, wireless charging withstanding. Great video Michael!
The problem with 1+ is that they themselves seem to know that the weird decisions(removing wireless charging, alert slider, camera setup etc) they make on their lineup won't go well with their fanbase, but they decide go with those choices nonetheless.
At this point, BBK should just rebrand Vivos X line of phones to 1+ outside of China because atleast there you'd get a full flagship offering.
I think they are just throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks at this point.
Well, If you don't know, people were polled and voted out wireless charging for faster wired charging instead. This wireless charging is stupid things US users do.
I would gladly give away wireless charging for a lower price
The 7 Pro and 7T Pro was OnePlus at its highest. The pop-up selfie camera was one of the greatest features on any phone
Michael, I too miss the OnePlus 7 Pro ... the one I got in 2021 started mucking up in October (camera motor was grinding, and the battery was fading fast.). So I traded it in for a Galaxy S22+ which ... was stolen.
Now, I'm using an Alcatel Flip phone, till I can pan handle enough to feed my cats, myself, and buy an S20 or S21 from a used show, here in Toronto.
Life isn't fair. I tell you what.
I realized youtube hasn't been reccomending me your videos for a bit!
I missed your videos and I love the way you make them!
Hope to see OnePlus come back around and remember what made them so different from the competition.
Finally someone who says they miss pop up cameras! What ever happened to those? Liked the full screen on my F11 Pro before I eventually ditched that since Oppo's OS skin -is still- awful.
Magnificent! Thank you Michael!! My original Nord is still performing admirably, so I might just be able to wait till next year, for wireless to return, or skip to Oppo Find N2, to finally accept your folding message. Until then, I'm happy to "make do" with a Pixel 6Pro, iPhone 13Pro and Xperia 1iv to fill the gap 😉
Thanks for a great video and for mentioning the return of the dual SIM; something else that OP phones had, lost and now have again. The OP website does not mention this. If I was in the US, I'd be tempted by a trade-in for this.
The OnePlus 7 Pro was my favorite one of them all. Since then I’ve moved to iPhone and Samsung for my primary phones. Never Settle? Feels like they just did lol
brah i feel sorry for you on so many levels
@@mikejames6588 don’t be because I’m enjoying them lol :)
I loved my 7Pro it was the coolest phone I have had so far. The pop up selfie camera was a true show stopper. Sadly the next few phones missed the mark for me. I'm back to Samsung galaxy again.
Great video as always, Michael! And your final part about the potential software updates is spot on! The main reason why I didn't go for a Oneplus this time around (after the 3T and 7Pro) was the terrible software support... Android 12 is a buggy joke on the 7Pro... Never (settle) again... I went for Samsung this time around
For a brand that's tag line is "never settle"....they sure do settle with a lot of categories
Question pertaining to something I think many reviews aren’t touching on… The 2X telephoto camera appears to be the same size sensor as the primary (1/1.56), making this one of, if not the only, smartphone with an equally sized sensor for a secondary lens. It’s understandable that the far zoom photos are not up to par compared to others, but what about 2x portraits? Have you found that the telephoto sensor is better than other brands’ solution of cropping in on the primary sensor?
The portrait performance is good (especially with the Hasselblad Master mode color enhancements - see samples) but to me that doesn't negate the overall loss of capability as a result of using 2x optics when 3x and 5x are the new norm.
@@TheMrMobile Thanks a ton for responding. That was the sole reason I was interested in the device. I’m hoping more devices start using multiple sensors that are equally sized so that we don’t have such a drop in quality (like the Samsung 10x optical lens getting similar results to Google’s 4x optical).
Correction: initial reports had the telephoto sensor as 1/1.56 but it’s actually a smaller 1/2.74 sensor which makes sense with the underwhelming response I’ve seen.
If you live in the States you're fairly reduced to Samsung or Apple. You can go with something like this and not get wireless charging, real water and dust resistance, etc. We already lost headphone jacks and IR blasters. I'm done losing features
really hope they bring back pop ups. would upgrade to that in a heart beat
As a photographer and cinematographer myself, i have to appreciate them puting a 2x telephoto lens on the phone. 50mm is around the focal length where faces have accurate distortion, a 2x telephoto is around the same focal length which is good for portrait photos
I hope it works well on TMobile, I'll be comparing bands with what my friend has so I can jump from the parent's plan.
Or maybe Tello coverage will suit me better, what say you, Michael?
@@CREEPINGIRON Tello is a T-Mobile MVNO, and as a T-Mobile subscriber I found coverage comparable in the markets I tested (see sponsor spot for the list).
I love MKBHD and others but your reviews are the real deal MrMobile. Thanks!
Love the videos. I completely disagree with the hassle blah deal. 150 million should have been spent on developing better camera software and computation. Camera is always the weak spot through all the times.
My favorite Android OEMs are Pixel and OnePlus. I mainly stick to Pixel because of the inconsistent things you mentioned.
OnePlus 11 is a good step in the right direction. If it had wireless charging and a better telephoto lens, I think this phone would be on the top.
That's all it's missing, and would have been so very easy to rectify.
@hmm no major company is coming out with prop up or under screen camera now a days, It's just a phase & not many even bothered about that anymore & yeah Usb c speed would be better.
If it had those features, it would kinda increase the price, Just 699$ phone of "almost" all flagship features is the whole point here. If price is more again last year UA-camrs & internet warriors Battle will start on price.
I'd like to try Vivo phones for their Zeiss simulations of their classic lenses. Now watching your review I understand OnePlus with Hasselblad collaboration as there is a parent company for both smartphone brands. Nevertheless there is a contradiction in these approaches: straight out of camera photos from dedicated and long lasting cameras have a natural look by relying in hardware rather than software; smartphone cameras, almost disposable devices, are in a race to use more software to get thinner hardware, tailored to tastes of general audiences, not printing needs of professionals. I feel collaborations don't show a noticeable difference, besides an additional label.
I'd disagree here, the Leica collaboration truly helped Huawei dominate the smartphone still camera game for about 3 years and their influence has really helped Huawei get their head in the camera game
Same goes for Vivo, they're cameras have really been dominant and constantly improving since their collaboration with Zeiss, it's honestly been unbelievable since their smartphone stills were some of the most autotuned and saturated ones out there and now, with Zeiss Natural Color on, they're refreshingly restrained yet retaining amazing image clarity and color.
Oneplus's collaboration with Hasselblad however hasn't resulted in such a dramatic increase in still quality, it's still hinging on a lot of gimmicky modes to leverage the hassleblad branding and that just makes me sad
@@govardhanposina17 I had a Huawei P8 lite withoit Leica branding, the camera app was excellent and the integration to Lightroom better than in my current Samsung S20 FE. My point is that more than a collaboration smartphone companies get inspiration from camera companies, this because if not for side by side comparisons is difficult to notice differences between smartphone flagships, and because camera companies, despite their heritage, aren't big enough to evolve their products at the pace of smartphones as the costs would be prohibitive. A simple way to prove this is that the technology in smartphones is seldom translated into digital cameras, or coming from them; you have Huawei pioneering Leica bokeh simulations, but you won't have Leica doing, let's say, a small Leica X Vario successor with a simulated bokeh to compensate for the dim lens and smaller aps-c sensor or making smartphones directly in that profitable market, it is more work from the smartphone engineers that without the collaborations still as my budget Huawei shows, can make elegant colors and well done exposures.
The content, presentation, everything is top notch! I thoroughly enjoyed the video!! Kudos!!!
I've watched a ton of oneplus 11 reviews and hands down this is one of the best and well put reviews out there. It's just beautifully crafted! Wish it was a bit longer tho :)
Seriously considering this phone. Best Buy currently has the 256 GB model on sale for $599.99 ($200 off).
I really appreciate your comment 😊 I got something for you DM📲 📦🎁
Years ago wireless charging was ok to void but not these days. Nearly everyone has a wireless charging pad. It's also crazy they created their own great wireless charging dock but now won't even use it.
100% this. It would be one thing if they just never adopted it. But OnePlus developed its own high-speed wireless charging product that was the fastest offered in the US ... and then abandoned it. Ridiculous.
I don’t think nearly everyone has a wireless charger
I don't know a single person that owns a wireless charger
Fair argument if it was slow charging like pixels, Samsung, and Apple. But oh how we overlook the fact in 15 minutes you get half a charge or more. Wireless charging is nice but I'll take fast charging any day over wireless.
I literally never use it. I've never seen the point.
No say it proudly! The camera setup looks awesome!!
A good news is the come back of the dual Sim on the US version after being removed on the OnePlus 9 Pro for some obscure reasons.
Great insight Michael.... I remember owning One Plus 7T and one plus 8 Pro, which I still believe were the best phones One plus has made till date, with special mention of One Plus 6T McLaren edition, as the show stopper... I think one plus really went haywire after one plus 9R and the variants that followed. OXYGEN OS, that was purest form of any mobile operating system, is now unbreathable in its current form. Let's hope OnePlus gets its A game in the right direction. We need Brands like OnePlus to make the top dogs like Samsung, Apple and Google to set the bar a bit higher and to keep their devices fresh and be a bit more competitive in the top tier "clash of the Titans" segment...
Thanks once again for an awesome review. GOD BLESS 😇👍🏻 and "Live Long and Prosper...!!" 🖖🏻
Unlike OnePlus, I appreciate that Mr. Mobile is consistent with his phone reviews. He's pretty much had a polished review style since starting this channel.
OnePlus 7 Pro was one of my favorite phones of all time. Haven't been too excited about the brand since. Looks like a Samsung, is priced like a Samsung, but can't take photos like a Samsung and the software isn't as refined as a Samsung
I bought a Sony Xperia 10 iii in December of 2021. Decent budget (still like $300 I think) phone with a headphone jack and tall aspect ratio. Can't find cases for it though since I'm not sure it ever actually came to North America, I imported mine.
I'm getting frustrated the best brands are ignoring my want for a headphone jack. Sony is the only reliable brand left with the feature it seems, keeping android security up to date for 3 years so far (I think).
I am excluding the Pixel A, since I had such a bad time with my Pixel 3 hardware. I consider Google a bad brand.
Maybe OnePlus will have to start serving odd features/markets. Despite how well this phone has been received, they have a lot of competition in this area.
Xperia owner here (1ii), am honestly somewhat disappointed with my purchase. I like most of the phone - though Sony's software support is just genuinely awful (*two* OS updates even to this day with the $1500 Xperias?? really?) plus the obvious lack of support since I also imported my unit. But alas, they're basically the only flagships nowadays with a microSD slot and a headphone jack, so do I really have another choice? Even more so if I want something that's not a 6.7 inch monstrosity.
P.S. Pretty sure the Pixels have gotten far better since the P3 days... Was really tempted to go pick up a 6a before I realized how expensive those were due to them also being imports. Still think my next phone will be a Pixel.
@@xalataf3365 2 years of software updates on a $1500 phone isn't exceptable when Google and Samsung give you 3 years on their midrange phones
@@franklingoodwin and Sony has far, far less models to deal with and support compared to Samsung, plus their skin isn't as much over Android as One UI...
@@xalataf3365 It should be easier for them if they cared to update their phones. This just shows me they do the bare minimum to update their phones
I just pulled the trigger on getting an Xperia 5 iv for 520€. For the past two years I had been thinking that *I'll wait for the next year to get a well priced high end phone* just to realize everything was pretty much overpriced. Luckily sites that sell used phones are becoming more affordable and Xperias seem to be hard to sell second hand, although mine was a return product. Tbh my current original Xperia 1 is doing fine, but it's in a way a first generation product.
If someone can track all these changes (and a pretty important ones ! ) it is definitely a guy named Mr Mobile for sure !
Indeed the camera island is coming to terms with the fact it is there and taking the advantage of its presence there.
3:54 - you haven't seen enough "deeply unfortunate selfies" if this one is what you call that... ;-)
Thanks for telling us about this weird and changeable beast.
I miss the pop up camera and uninterrupted display I won't go back to OnePlus till they bring this back
Pop up selfie with 100% screen is why I still rock my good One+ 7 Pro. S23U still only has 8 bit color? Got that covered. No punch holes, no drops, no islands, just all screen which is the one feature I use everyday.
Selfies, not so much. Mirrors are better.
I have never understood wireless charging. I like to use my phone while charging and don't want to drop it on and off on and off on and off. I like to just plug it in and charge while using it. And the "convenience" of putting it on a pad overnight or something is hardly game changing. I think it's a feature people try to convince themselves to like.
Fill your home and office (and car) with wireless charging pads and you'll feel differently. Hunting for a cable to plug in feels very primitive thereafter.
@@TheMrMobile I dont agree. Just plugging a charger is not difficult unless you have only 1 hand
@@drmrahul ok
@@TheMrMobile I completely agree, once you really start using wireless charging and integrating it in your daily routine it's difficult to go back. This phone at least charges really quick so its not a huge deal breaker, but for the Pixel the stand charges nearly as quick as it does plugged in so its really convenient, plus the extra features
Great pointers MrMobile as always, but as long as the "OxygenOS" is ColorOS im not impressed.
The lack of wireless charging is a deal killer. I actually have a OP9 and it still works great for my needs. My next phone will need wireless charging. I use that feature every day.
Wireless charging is a pointless gimmick that has low adoption in real world scenarios. Give me fast charging any day.
@@MaximusAlcarinque nearly every one I know uses wireless charging, both Android and Apple users. There is no argument that wired fast chargers can be superior in some situations (and I use both) but that doesn't mean people shouldn't have both options.
For me wireless charging isn't even a thing I consider when buying a phone. It's too slow and inconvenient to be worth it. Wired charging is just all around better.
Wait for 11pro then.
@@arpansolomon7572 there's no Pro nor T variation this year. Only one phone
After getting the one plus open a few weeks ago and falling in love with the experience I decided to pick one of these up. Zero regrets, I honestly think it does everything very well. The charging and battery life are outstanding. I don't personally care about wireless charging, it's convenient but I'm an overnight charger so it doesn't affect my life at all. I think the cameras are just fine, are they monsters? Nope, but they take perfectly fine point and shoot photos. I'm looking forward to the 12 unveil
I had a OnePlus before, and I gave it to my sister, she loves it. Use it often than her phone midrange Samsung than cost more.😄
Oppo did mention recently that Oneplus will focus more on the performance and Oppo Find X will be the flagship camera-centric phone
Reasons to own a OnePlus phone:
- Industry leading speed with flagship performance.
- Insane charging speed and big battery life.
- Cheaper flagship specs.
You don't buy a OnePlus phone to have the very best camera available on the market or for gimmicks like wireless charging. Why bother with wireless charging when it's slower, and the dock is connected to a cable anyway. Why not just slot your phone onto the cable itself and enjoy much faster charging speed?
The fact that the OnePlus 11 has decent cameras, 4 years android support and updates, AND it has monster performance and battery life/ charge speed is a game changer for me that separates it from the likes of the pixel 7. Batteries will degrade over time, but charging speed will remain consistent - the fact I can plug my OnePlus 8 into the charger and have it top up to nearly full in like 20 minutes is ridiculously good, I could never swap to a slower charge again.
I get it Michael and that's why I would be go prefer the pixel than oneplus 100x better because their inconsistencies but the oneplus 11 changed my mind but they had a long way to be actually back
As always another great review that I feel I can honestly trust!!!
My both devices have wireless coils but I never thought of using it you may call me old school but I am doing good without that coil.
This video is precisely the reason I don't watch other reviews yet 😌
I've worked in the industry, I've never liked wireless charging. Too much heat, and it does indeed suck.
Nice video, loved the point you raised about inconsistency but this felt more like an impression video because there was not mention of software which one plus gets critiszied for.
Until they bring back the original Oxygen Os this isn't it for me
They will with a update.
4:20 2x telephoto is NOT a waste of space. 2x telephoto lens produces much better face shapes in portraits as compared to the standard wide lens
Man, I would totally buy this if it had ip68 instead of a quad HD display. I have a OnePlus 8t now and it has aged surprisingly well.
The 8t wasn't IP68 rated unless you had the T-Mobile variant, despite being the same phone. Not sure why you're concerned? The phone just doesn't have the certification.
Thanks just ordered mine, and trading my 7t pro McLaren for, total price just over 6 hundred for the to of the line 16 ram, free up grade right now!!! Go get it!
That's the best title from all the videos I've seen that describes this phone and company, great work Michael!!
Another excellent review.
I got the 10 Pro and ended up returning it because I was a bit underwhemled with the camera.
I might give the 11 a fair shake.
OnePlus's camera has always been below its competitors... Such a shame. Better buy an Oppo or Vivo instead! If you don't want Samsung or Pixel.
Awesome review as always. I loved Oneplus when they first launched and most were not sure.And agree with you the changes that were also up and down. I am glad that it is still available.Need to see what is next.Thanks so much for all the great info on the Future.✌️
Great video my friend. The phone however does no look so great. I'm curious if anyone prefers the front camera hole on the side rather than in the middle? Personally I would hate it being on the side. And no wireless charging. huge SMH.
Good sensor need only some updates and collab with hassleblad is not bad idea..dont need wireless charger 100 watts wire charger and longlife battery is enough...sd gen 2 is a flagship processir and an ltpo amoled display good for viewing and gaming...ip68 rating is not a deal breaker...
Even though I watched the video by other youtubers, watching MrMobile video is fun and always connects with the viewer. Amazing work as always. You look a lot like young Robert Downey Jr and I hope Marvel gets you on their Iron Man movies lol
I'm still using the oneplus 7t pro
the pop up camera is the best idea they had
I will upgrade to a phone that also has a pop up cera or under screen camera and so far all the phones that offer theses feature lack in much more important aspects
for example the red magic has terrible software and bad cameras which doesn't feel much of an upgrade from what I already have
I hope that the oneplus 11 pro comes with a pop up camera or under the screen one
that would definitely be one hell of an upgrade from the 7t pro
Cheers for helping me choose what to have for dinner tonight, your Dad's chilli looked awesome. Oh, great video review by the way.
Sending power and blessings from Melbourne Australia.
Wireless charging and IP68 is probably reserved for the "Pro" model.
Wow, thought about buying a pixel and changed my mind lol
I had the pixel 7 pro,I didn't like it,sure the camera is good, but I found the whole experience so boring, there stock android is like an apple version of Android,not much customization, extremely slow charging ie only 30w, compared to the 100 watt on the oneplus, the oneplus 11 is a great phone.
Aw, man. Sad to see them drop the ball like this. You're right about them being inconsistent. I didn't even know they'd been swapping charging standards. And that's an ugly bloody holepunch.
So does that just leave Sony as the last holdout for this year for uncompromising phones? The Xperia 1 IV was a ridiculously good phone, so I'm intrigued by how the 1 V is going to be as a potential _"milestone"_ number for them.
Possibly the most stylish reviews on UA-cam ♥️ and Micheal's accent is just icing on the cake 😍♥️
Glad to see you again. It's been a while since I haven't seen your reviews. Nice job!
** No UDC no party ** OnePlus must think more laterally with sales. It can't be a ''1 phone fits all' strategy. On their site, or in the store, or both they should have 2 sections - 1 selfie lovers and 2 media watchers. The selfie lovers get a hole punch with the best selfie camera possible. The media watchers get a new improved UDC and may not use selfie at all. Come on, we don't all want a hole punch. Do this for the 12 and also please improve the charging speed to at least 80W.
Guess we probably know why Carl left. Good for him. It's been meh for OnePlus ever since. The 8 Pro was my last. Jumped ship after OxygenOS became ColorOS except in name.
Still a big no for me,my last one plus had storage full in other category. My own personal stuff hardly occupied any space. Been 2 years and they still haven't fixed this bug 3.
Can you tell Tello to come to Canada. We need some competition to bring down cellphone plan rates here. Unlimited everything doesn't exist for anything less than an arm and a leg.
I feel like the disparity between tech reviewer's thoughts on Wireless Charging vs average consumers is pretty great. If phones charge this fast on a wire, why the hell would I ever want to wirelessly charge? Keep it.
This has been my opinion. There a lot of emphasis on a slow charging method. Fast charging and battery life negates the need for wireless. Also why? I now need to buy a charging pad and if I'm not at home I have to be somewhere that has it........... It's a big deal for nothing. My 2018 Tesla has a spot to sit the phone and just plug into the cable, as of 2020 they added wireless charge and basically put a charge pad where the plug was literally the only difference was pushing down to connect the phone. This seems like a good enough phone.
The script for this video is just so ASMR quality... I actually wait for your videos to drop
Ah finally some big youtuber to say they miss the pop-up. As a happy 7T Pro user looking for upgrade, couldn't agree more with you. I refuse to buy a phone with notch or punch hole. I'll wait as much as it's needed for under screen or it worst case my phone dies.
I've been a OnePlus fan for the longest but tbh they're losing my interest.. I really don't wanna get the s23 plus but there's so many things with OnePlus that's frustrating to me I just might have to venture over to the galaxy side again since the galaxy s5.. BUT, nothing is more frustrating than Bixby imo... I'm stuck 🤦🏽♂️
There's one thing I'd like to point out that's been in every one of these videos. It's also something I think most phone reviews make sure to pay attention to. It's the color composition in every phone camera shot! There's always a splash of blue visible in every one of these photos, along with at least one or two other colors... My pictures would never come out as well as many of these reviewers could manage, and it's because they're paying attention to detail that I didn't know was important for the longest time. If you don't have these colors included somewhere in your shots, then your photos will come out lifeless and colorless, as many of my food shots can attest.
Got mine a few days ago. So far, incredible! Had the S21+ before... Not even close.
phones specs are really intriguing, but that camera bump is something alright. Not having wireless charging is a bummer, you hit the nail on the head with me a (one plus 9 user) looking for an upgrade. Just not really sure if the trade-off of not having wireless charging is worth it. although there are third party options around this issue 🤔🤔
I think the only time a OnePlus was on my maybe list was.. I think the OnePlus 2 when I cross-shopped used ones with used HTC One M9s, but I went with the M9, partly cuz of the microSD expansion, and mostly because I'd lusted for that HTC One for ages.
Very unbiased...calling out OnePlus where it is deserved. Thanks for the review Michael!
Thanks for covering more of the camera than simple point and shot like everyone else does. Oneplus cameras are fun and keep people shooting. Their RAW+ mode is one of the best
Thank you Michael! Not only for your excellent reviews, but also for your excellent choice of sponsorship! We just got a Tello line for a visiting family member and we're so happy with it. Significantly better for short-term needs than regular carriers.
It's 2023, you'll can't keep expecting top specs for half the price of the OG brands. This phone is great for what it has. I'm someone that don't care for wireless charging because these phones charge so damn fast anyways. The only thing the OG brands have over this phone that matters is better camera. And these cameras are great for what most ppl use it for anyways Social Media. I still have my OnePlus 7 Pro.. Love that phone.
How I missed ur reviews !! Waiting for u on the s23u !!
You have integrity and class, thank you for your channel Michael.
Another amazing video as usual, but OnePlus has forever lost me as a customer, through its buggy patches and updates and I say this as a 5 year and running user of a OnePlus phone. No matter what they do, and not that they do anything anymore, I am never going to purchase another phone from them ever again and especially at the price point they are asking for now.
Nice vid! It's a shame it doesn't matter how good they could make a phone m they'll ruin it with shitty updates like they've been doing for a while now
OnePlus 11 pro with 512gb and 12gb RAM and a 5500-6000 mAh battery for 999 with 100w+ and their fast wireless charging would've been excellent. Have a 1tb and 16g RAM option for 1199 and they would've killed the competition. I'm assuming the camera could've been better with on both phone with a 3x on the 11 and a 5x on the pro.
Years ago, I had one plus one via invite only program. Although they did mature i have to agree, they just cant figure out their vision. They want to work on new cool shiny things without perfecting what they already have.
Oh boy, this bring me back to the days when my one plus one device had a yellow tint due to glue not settling before device being shipped. I remember i had to use UV light to get rid of the problem. Oh boy, good old days.
Due to exact reasons above i would always recommend apple, Samsung or pixel phone. They just have better re-sell value. I remember when i was selling my phone, people were confused about the brand.
My god this review was brilliant and so spot on.
I can respect the effort OP is making but am in shock that they omitted wireless charging.
That point on their cutting edge wireless charging buyers being alienated from upgrading made it hit home even more. Crazy
They asked their users whether they prefer super fast charging or wireless charging and nearly all wanted faster charging.
@@andyH_England "their users" = double edged sword. you listen but also limit your growth to appeal to the swash of buyers that migrated to the other 3 brands. I could fully understand them not utilizing their fast wireless charging. None at all? Inexcusable
I noticed 8:14 that on the top it shows 57%, but on the screen it's 28% for battery 🤔
6:03 lool what is he flying over there?
