With the start of a new year comes the release of a new smartphone, and OnePlus is one of the first companies to unveil its 2023 flagship device. The company launched its OnePlus 11 in China last month (January), and it now it is planning to bring it to India. The OnePlus 11 5G is an iterative upgrade over the OnePlus 10 Pro and OnePlus 10T in some exciting ways, with a slight design refresh, an all-new processor, and a new camera.
Previous OnePlus 11 leaks revealed that the global variant would pack the same hardware configuration as the China unit. It also disclosed the possible Indian pricing of the OnePlus 11, giving us a heads-up on what to expect. Let’s look at everything we know about the OnePlus 11.
OnePlus 11 launch date, price in India
OnePlus will introduce its latest flagship smartphone in India and worldwide on February 7th at the device’s launch event. An early listing of the device on Amazon for Android reveals the pre-order details of the OnePlus 11 for the Indian market. The pre-order for the all-new flagship will start after the big OnePlus launch event on February 7th.
Besides this, the Indian pricing details of the OnePlus 11 also surfaced online recently. As per the leak, the base 8GB RAM with a 128GB storage model could retail for Rs 49,999. Furthermore, the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage unit could set you back Rs 54,999, while the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage variant could cost Rs 59,999, and the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage option could retail at Rs 66,999.
OnePlus 11 design
If you own the last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro or the 10T, the OnePlus 11 should feel at home to you. However, the company has shaken things up, switching from a squared-off camera module with a rounded triple camera bump, which features Hasselblad branding. The metal frame now bleeds into the back panel of the phone. You will have two colourway options for the OnePlus 11: Titan Black — matte back with a sandstone finish and Eternal Green — glossy green shade.
It has a thin unified bezel screen on the front with a left-aligned punch-hole cutout to house the selfie camera. Unfortunately, rumour suggests that the smartphone will come with an IP54 water rating, a downgrade from OnePlus 10 Pro’s IP64 certification. It retains the iconic alert slider on the right side, housed above the power button. And the volume rocker is on the left side. At the bottom, it has a SIM tray, speaker grille, and USB Type-C port for charging.

OnePlus 11 could flaunt a 6.7-inch QHD+ 2.75D flexible curved AMOLED panel with support for an adaptive 120Hz high refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and up to 1,300 nits peak brightness, and should result in an excellent viewing experience while gaming and watching video content.
The smartphone will pack Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC at the helm. A 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support will keep the lights on. It will be available in 8GB/12GB/16GB LPDDR5 RAM with 128GB/256GB/512GB UFS 4.0 storage options.
