Compared to its predecessor OnePlus 10 Pro, the OnePlus 11 packs some significant upgrades in the camera department along with the traditional boost in performance. That being said, in this article let’s take a look at how different the OnePlus 11 is from last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro.

With pricing out of the way, let’s compare both of the OnePlus flagships in terms of their design, display, performance, cameras, and more.

Design

Both OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 10 Pro carry a similar rear panel design with a significantly large camera housing. However, what sets both flagships apart is a flat four-cutout layout for three lenses and a ringed LED flashlight within the camera housing on the OnePlus 10 Pro while the cameras on the OnePlus 11 are placed inside an elevated circular module, which all together make up for a ‘Black Hole’ design, as per OnePlus. Furthermore, there’s the ‘Hasselblad’ branding as well on the camera modules of both smartphones. Notably, the OnePlus 11 brings back the ‘Alert Slider’, which is a major differentiating facto between the phones. On the left side, there are volume rockers on both these handsets.

Display

OnePlus has not made any significant upgrades on the OnePlus 11 from the OnePlus 10 Pro in terms of display apart from some minor additions. For starters, both flagships feature a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 1,440 x 3,216 pixels along with the support of 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 1300 nits of peak brightness. Now coming to the differences, the OnePlus 10 Pro gets LTPO 2.0 technology for seamlessly switching between display refresh rates while the OnePlus 11 uses an upgraded LTPO 3.0 panel that aids in providing better battery life to a certain extent. Another aspect where OnePlus 11’s display has a slight edge over the OnePlus 10 Pro is the support for Dolby Vision which the former flagship omits.

Battery

Although both the flagship phones from OnePlus in this comparison rock a 5000mAh battery, the OnePlus 11 has a slight advantage over the OnePlus 10 Pro as it comes with 100W fast charging support as opposed to 80W SUPERVOOC charging on the OnePlus 10 Pro. However, when it comes to wireless charging, the OnePlus 11 pales in comparison to its predecessor as it completely lacks such technology. The 10 Pro on the other hand supports 50W wireless charging using OnePlus’ own wireless charger along with reverse wireless charging to provide juice to other phones and devices.
