OnePlus 11 debuts with a sub-CA$1K starting price

OnePlus latest attempt at a flagship killer has officially debuted in the international market. The OnePlus 11 comes to Canada with a $999 price tag for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model and $1,149 for the 16GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. There's no storage expansion here, so if you need that extra space, you'll have to get the more expensive option. OnePlus pairs that with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with Android 13-based OxygenOS 13, which we're happy to report is getting four years of software updates instead of the abysmal two in the past.

It gets a reasonably sized 5,000mAh battery that you can top up in just 25 minutes with its 100W SuperVOOC charging support. You can only hit those speeds with the included charging brick and USB-A to USB-C cable. OnePlus takes an unusual approach of not including a USB-C to USB-C cable. But the company reasons that users will bring the cable and the power brick around and the USB-A to USB-C interface is more useful (at least for now) for charging. Unfortunately, there's no wireless charging here, either.

We've heard about the OnePlus 11's colour scheme a few days ago, but now we're getting a closer look at what leakers @OnLeaks and Gadget Gang claim is the official render of the phone. We see the return on the alert slider, wraparound camera bar, and more prominent Hasselblad logo.

At the rear, the OnePlus 11 is expected to come with a 50-megapixel main sensor, 48-megapixel ultrawide, and 32-megapixel 2x telephoto. The selfie camera is said to be a 16-megapixel lens.

OnePlus 11 rumoured to stick to the green, black colour scheme

OnePlus 11 rumoured design

When OnePlus debuts its next flagship, we might still get the same colour scheme as the OnePlus 10 series. Tipster Max Jambor on Twitter claims the OnePlus 11 will come in black and green colours—with the former sporting a matte finish and the latter glossy. OnePlus typically switches around colours when it releases new smartphone generation, so we're still holding out hope for a new colour option. The OnePlus 11 is expected to get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and faster UFS 4.0 storage.
