A quick comparison between the OnePlus 11R and OnePlus 11, you will find that there are differences, hence the cheaper price. But there’s no denying that the former can stand on its own and is a flagship no doubt. Coming in hot with a large 6.74-inch Fluid AMOLED screen with high 120Hz refresh rate and an insanely high brightness, you will enjoy every second of your screen time. Be it for watching movies, gaming, or just simple web browsing.

On the topic of gaming, the OnePlus 11R will be running any games very smoothly. All this thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 being paired with a blazingly fast Cortex octa-core processor, amazing graphics processor, and up to 16GB of RAM. There’s just nothing out there that can slow this beast down as it gives you dominant gaming performance across the board, with unrivaled Fast and Smooth gameplay from HyperBoost Gaming Engine and with an assist from the OnePlus Cryo-Velocity Cooling System to ensure the action doesn’t get too hot to handle.

Camera-wise, the OnePlus 11R comes with a highly rated 50MP+8MP+2MP triple primary camera although there’s no Hasselblad on this one.

Featuring an upgraded IMX890 sensor, this dynamo camera system gives you the stability and performance you need to share your story more vividly with the world. And you can bring your friends along for the ride with a 120° wide-angle lens that’s amazing for group shots. Then there’s the 16MP selfie camera for your daily dose of selfies, to make the package complete.

In terms of storage, you get to choose either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. Just bear in mind that there won’t be any expansion slot available, so go with what you can afford. Then leave it to the cloud, or just do some spring cleaning every now and then.

It is also interesting to note that the OnePlus 11R is running Android 13 right out of the box, which is great news indeed. Then there’s the dual-sim and 5G feature, which adds more value to this flagship.

Also one of its strongest points is on the battery side of things. Here we find the OnePlus 11R coming in with a large 5000 mAh battery that is supported by a crazily fast 100W battery charging. This means that it can get it up to full capacity in no time at all.
