OnePlus 11’s controversial design returns in new ‘official’ renders

By Prakhar Khanna Published December 5, 2022

The OnePlus 11 Pro was slated to be the next OnePlus flagship for early 2023. However, as per a new report from Gadget Gang (in association with reliable tipster @OnLeaks), the leaked OnePlus 11 Pro in the past is in fact, the OnePlus 11, which will be the flagship for early 2023. Apart from that, we also have our first look at the ‘official’ renders of the next OnePlus flagship. It looks like the company is iterating the design from its 2022 designs, with controversial results.

According to the latest renders, OnePlus is taking inspiration from Samsung of 2021 by extending the camera module to the side of the OnePlus 11. The new design is likely to stir some debate around the looks of the device. Meanwhile, the Hasselblad logo is now in the middle of the camera module, which looks odd. The optics include a three-lens camera system accompanied by an LED flash. The OnePlus 11 is said to be made available in Forest Emerald and Volcanic Black color options. As per the renders, the back seems to have a matte finish.

The OnePlus 11 is touted to feature a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display. We are likely to get a hole-punch front camera. We’re also expecting the latest Qualcomm processor – the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which could be paired with up to 16GB of RAM. According to previous reports, the next OnePlus flagship will have a 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera, 48MP IMX581 ultrawide, and 32MP IMX709 2x zoom camera. These will be tuned by Hasselblad, like the OnePlus 10 Pro.

The upcoming OnePlus device is said to pack a 5,000mAh battery. There is no word on the fast charging speeds but we expect the phone to charge at 100W at least, especially when the OnePlus 10T came with 150W fast charging. However, it was limited to 125 watts in the U.S. We speculate the OnePlus 11 will launch sometime around March 2023.

Here are some of the specs for the OnePlus Open 2

OnePlus Open in Emerald Dusk open halfway showing home screen.

The OnePlus Open was a heck of a foldable phone that scored a four out of five in our review, and now we have exciting news about its successor. The OnePlus Open 2 is scheduled to launch sometime in 2025 and promises to bring serious upgrades with it, including an even slimmer design. That's saying something, especially since the original OnePlus Open is already incredibly thin (just 5.8mm) when unfolded.

The news comes courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo and through GSMArena's translation. A previous rumor stated that the OnePlus Open 2 might be less than 10mm when folded, lending credence to the idea of an ultrathin phone.

The OnePlus 13 will beat most other smartphones in one surprising way

OnePlus 12 Glacial White cameras.

With the Chinese launch of the OnePlus 13 just days away, more and more details keep making their way to our feeds. This morning, three key specs on the OnePlus 13 appeared on Weibo (the Chinese social media outlet) and were posted by OnePlus itself. Two of them are exciting, while the other is downright surprising.

The first detail is that it will use an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor with a "super intuitive" position. In practice, this means the fingerprint sensor will be able to pick up details more accurately and will work even if your finger is wet. It also works in low light and should be significantly faster than an optical sensor.

OnePlus 13 confirmed to get a mixed bag of camera upgrades

OnePlus has been steadily dropping bits of information as it gears up for the launch of its next flagship phone later this month. The latest tease sheds some light on the OnePlus 13’s camera hardware, which seems like a mix of small upgrades and a minor drop.

The primary camera will adopt Sony’s LYT-808 sensor, which is the same 50MP 1/1.4-inch format kit that we also saw on the OnePlus 12. This time around, OnePlus is extending 4K Dolby Vision capture support across all cameras instead of keeping it limited to the main snapper.
