Kick-off for the OnePlus 11 5G: release on February 16
The Chinese brand gave us an appointment today to find out how to launch its new high-end smartphone.
Few surprises today at the end of the conference held by OnePlus. As expected, the OPPO subsidiary announces the release, next week in France, of the OnePlus 11 5G. It is a (unique) high-end smartphone that logically follows the OnePlus 10 Pro launched last year.
A tighter range for fewer compromises
It’s hard to understand what OnePlus is playing with its range of devices. The Chinese released the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro two years ago, followed last year by a unique OnePlus 10 Pro. This time, the brand is ignoring a model qualified as professional to focus on a single reference, the OnePlus 11 5G.
It is the second smartphone after Samsung’s Galaxy S23 to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which promises peak performance and increased battery life compared to the Samsung Galaxy S23. last year. In France, the mobile will be available in 8 GB or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, with 128 or 256 GB of internal storage.
This 5G mobile has a large 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED screen and can reach a frequency of 120 Hz for increased fluidity. LTPO 3.0 technology also offers more dynamic frequency variation to preserve the battery. As a bonus, OnePlus equips its model 11 with Dolby Vision compatibility, which combines with Dolby Atmos for a better viewing experience on compatible content.
Finally, in the photo, OnePlus renews its partnership with Hasselblad. The new flagship of the group is equipped with a main camera, wide-angle, 50 Mpx (Sony IMX890), an optic dedicated to the portrait (a 48 mm) of 32 Mpx (Sony IMX709) and an ultra 48 Mpx wide-angle (Sony IMX581). At the front, a 16 Mpx (ƒ / 2.5) module is dedicated to self-portraits.
The OnePlus 11 5G will be marketed at PKR 250836 (8+128 GB) or PKR 271517 (16+256 GB). A price in line with what the brand asked for last year with the OnePlus 10 Pro.
A tablet, headphones, and a keyboard to complete the catalogue
In addition to this new smartphone, OnePlus also draws a pair of wireless headphones to expand its offer. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will also be released on February 16 and will offer, in particular, an equalizer “adjusted by composer Hans Zimmer,” tells the press release. In addition, each earphone benefits from two drivers (11 mm + 6 mm) for an expanded dynamic. Also, OnePlus promises active noise reduction reaching -48 dB. A promise that Labo Fnac will inevitably put to the test in the future test.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will be marketed at PKR 52,885.
