Samsung has just forgotten to care about any other phone except for the Ultra.

IQ200, 27 Mar 2023S23 is one of 2 or 3 the most compact phones out there, so ... moreThe Pixel 7 Pro is an OK phone only, the charging is really slow and outdated, also the Tensor 2 is about 30% slower and much more power hungry than the 8G2. I agree with you about the camera, however, only marginally as OnePlus has really closed the gap based on what I experienced with the 11 for the brief time when I tested it.

The biggest things going for the Pixel 7 Pro is the clean OS (assuming you can accept Google's bloat), open environment which allows easy flashing and continuing on Lineage OS when Google cuts off updates and still the camera to an extent.

These things are a personal preference though and in my case since I am not bothered by the new Oxygen OS (aka ColorOS), I would take the OnePlus 11 if I currently needed a new phone as the camera is almost as good and everything else is superior really. That having been said, my current OnePlus 7 Pro runs great on Lineage OS 20 (Android 13 QPR2) and even the cameras perform like on the stock firmware. I can easily see myself using the 7 Pro for 3 more years if the updates continue because like you said, any recent top of the line chipset is more than enough for just about all tasks and if I need a serious camera, I will just get a point and shoot digital camera which will be superior to any phone. I consider the Pixel's openness and custom firmware support a big deal though as I keep my phones for a long time and if Google catches up hardware wise, my next phone is definitely a large Pixel. These are my 2 cents and I like to follow this industry even though I don't upgrade very often.

Anonymous, 22 Mar 2023I didn't say the S23 Ultra is junk, that is a great ph... moreS23 is one of 2 or 3 the most compact phones out there, so please don't compare that to Oneplus 11 brick solely spec by spec. Agreed on the S23+ part though.

For me personally choosing between Samsung's bloated and kinda slow-ish One UI and Color OS would be really hard as neither of those are my thing. I was in love with OnePlus and its Oxygen back then when I used OnePlus 6T.

I had many [(smart) phones] so far, from all sorts of brands, Westerns and Chinese, but 6T was near perfection for me. I've never been so satisfied with a phone like 6T and for such a long period of time. I bought it because I was looking for alternative for my dying Xperia XZ. Okay, I'm lying. On top spots my all time favorites are Nokia 6310i and Nokia N73. Damn, sometimes I really miss Symbian OS.. lol... Anyways, I've tried using a "new" Color OS on newer OnePlus devices (Nord 2T) but it just doesn't fit me well. Or if I being honest, at all. Maybe because I was using a mid-range device instead of flagship like I used to, but just saying. And if I may notice, their phones aren't what they used to be if I'm talking about "a really good value for the buck". I mean, they practically build their name on so called "flagship killers" which are nowhere to be seen for a long time. That role almost took the Poco with their F series.

OnePlus 11 is a good phone no doubt, but for the price I would rather go for Pixel 7 Pro or even a smaller one as I don't like big phones a.k.a. bricks, but those have really good camera results so I have them in my mind or even better a new Pixel 8 which is roumorued to be compact with its 150mm x 70mm dimensions. Spec by spec OnePlus 11 would easily take the victory there, but benchmarks aren't telling the whole story. Also, my priorities changed over years. I don't chase the highest possible GHz's or GB's of RAM like I used to since the first .. smartphone, because every flagship chipset after 2020. has more then enough of power for every task, even gaming but not on the highest possible settings of course. So, what was I saying.. Ah right, so with wife and kids running around, I'm much more camera oriented guy now, so in that case OnePlus doesn't have anything to offer which is confusing. What's OnePlus next move? You know, It just seems they don't have a stable business strategy in long term.

Just my 10 cents.
Cheers!

BBK is killing Oneplus subbrand slowly but steadily. This phone screams "average", which is not a bad thing, but it is also not good enough to compete against the competition. I know there are still hardcore fanboys that love Oneplus. But simply spoken, of the people I know personally 100% ditched their Oneplus and went for other brands.

ALonZo, 22 Mar 2023I've been a OP customer for 4 years and only recently ... moreI didn't say the S23 Ultra is junk, that is a great phone that is much more expensive than the OnePlus 11 and competes in a different price class, despite the vastly more expensive price it still has deficiencies such as only 12 GB of ram, slower charging and no WiFi 7 compared to OnePlus, therefore, it's not a total victory and should still be much better considering the obscene price.

What I mentioned is garbage though is the regular S23 and S23+ as they have noticeably weaker specs than OnePlus 11 for more money.

Software is a personal preference, however, I personally prefer Oxygen OS 13 to OneUI with it's duplicated S-Apps and heavy bloatware. In addition to this, the Oxygen OS is TUV SUD certified for fluency and in my experience OnePlus phones age better and retain their smoothness over extended use unlike Samsung, as such, I'm making the argument that OnePlus software is better.

Anonymous, 18 Mar 2023It seems that you should check yourself into an institute, ... moreI've been a OP customer for 4 years and only recently made a switch to an S23 Ultra. I can tell you that the S23 Ultra is not a brick or junk, that's a fact.

I have a weak spot for OnePlus phones but the transition from Oxygen OS to Color OS really did start to affect the phone's performance over the last year. Unfortunately, BBK will dedicate their best for Oppo, OnePlus will always play second fiddle.

The software experience between Samsung and OnePlus is becoming more distant. I much prefer One UI 5 than Oxygen OS 13. And the hardware on the Ultra is incredible.

ViVo, 16 Mar 2023If you genuinely think OnePlus has better hardware/software... moreIt seems that you should check yourself into an institute, the hardware certainly seems better to me on the OnePlus 11. For starters it has a true LTPO QHD+ display of 525 PPI with Dolby Vision, not the entry level non-LTPO 400 PPI junk on the Samsung that only has HDR10+, it also has a proper flagship grade 16 GB of ram instead of the pathetically mid-range 8 GB on the Samsung which was flagship in 2019, good luck with future software updates and device aging. WiFi 7 is also present on the OnePlus and will never exist on the S23+, so much for flagship grade comms. The 80 watt SuperVOOC charger included with my OnePlus 11 also charges from 19% to 90% in 16 minutes all the while the device remains cool. in addition, with the Oppo battery health engine my battery will be at 80% capacity still after 1600 charging cycles instead of your 800. Therefore, I don't see how you can make any battery life argument as your beloved S23 has no charger at all and at best half the charging speed/battery endurance if you pay for the overpriced Samsung brick. In addition to this, you should review the spec sheet for the rear cameras again line by line because unless you are blind or illiterate, the S23+ has worse camera hardware fitted to the back which no software is going to mitigate.

You can move along Samsung fan as the only thing Samsung currently offers is hype and overpriced products catering to the technically inept, so sad considering that they used to be cutting edge. It is clear as day to anyone who is not a brainwashed fanatic that the OnePlus 11 is a better flagship than the S23+ and it also happens to be better while costing hundreds less.

This was the case about 4 years back when OneUI was in its early stages with bugs and being unoptimized, its' now as smooth if not smoother than iOS. On top of that, its the most feature packed UI out there. OnePlus is good value for money, that's about it. Doesn't offer anything that's world leading as opposed to Samsung with it's camera system, incredible battery and amazing software right now.

This is truly the price/performance champion on the North American market, I recently bought one for a family member as a birthday gift in 16GB/256 Eternal Green and everything about it feels premium and top notch, even the cameras seem to go toe to toe with the Pixel 7 Pro which is amazing.

All the compromises that are made to the spec to achieve the vastly lower price point simply make sense and don't impact the user experience. Take wireless charging for instance, a gimmick that is inefficient and only serves to cook your battery when you have 100 watt SuperVOOC, or take the full IP68 rating which is another useless thing as the manufacturer doesn't even guarantee water damage and would not cover it, therefore you should not get it submerged (plus it has IP64 and gaskets so it is rain proof). Even the use of a USB 2.0 socket does not matter because let's face it, how often are you actually performing full backups to your computer? If you compare it to something like the Samsung S23+ which is it's direct competitor it all makes sense, far superior hardware with Oxygen OS that is a much nicer and less bloated skin, why anyone would get the Samsung for many hundreds more over the OnePlus simply escapes me, especially now that OnePlus gives you a proper 4 generations of Android updates + 5 years of security patches.
