The OnePlus 11 beats Samsung to the punch with an early launch in China
If there’s any company that loves to announce the same product a few times, it’s OnePlus. Although we’re about a month out from an India-based global launch event for theOnePlus 11, China is getting the early access treatment for the second year in a row. As we wait impatiently to get our chance to try out the company’s latest phone, there’s no need to rely onrumors and leaksfrom here on out. The OnePlus 11 is official, with the phone hitting store shelves in China next week.

In fact, the OnePlus 11 is one of the first phones to hit the market with aSnapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm’s latest chipset that’s sure to power the majority of thebest high-end Android devicesthis year. Paired with a 6.7" 2K 120Hz AMOLED display — not the 1080p panel used on the 10T — and a 5,000mAh battery capable of charging at 100W, and this is one mighty powerful product. We’ll have to wait and see how the 50MP IMX890 sensor on the back performs alongside the 48MP ultra-wide sensor and 32MP portrait lens, of course. Hasselblad branding or no, OnePlus has always been a mixed bag when it comes to photography.
While the company’s release strategy didn’t leave much on the table for surprises today — and again, we still haveone more launch to go on February 7th— it’s exciting to know we’re one step closer to the OnePlus 11 arriving outside China. For now, Chinese shoppers can grab the company’s latest phone starting on January 9th, right alongside itslatest OnePlus Buds Pro 2 earbuds, with a starting price of 4,000 yuan (or about $580). The rest of us will have to find other ways to bide our time.
