That doesn't leave much. Loved my 7 Pro and am very happy with my 11.One Plus must be selling enough to keep selling here. I see Nothing phones will be sold here in the near future. I might be interested.

    They need to update their selfie cameras so badly. There's no reason why it still lacks auto focus and is literally years old at this point.

        Thank you for this long term review!!! I'm 68 years old and have a love for phone tech. Been reading it for many years. I watched One Plus since the 3 and pulled the trigger on the 7Pro. Had it for 4 years and it's still in pristine condition. Now and then I charge it up, pop my ATT sim card in and update apps. Loved the pop up selfie camera. lots of folks liked it but I still don't know anyone else that has one. One thing in particular is that I take a lot of pictures and to see them on the beautiful FULL screen is just awesome. I laugh at the Ifruits pictures with the stoopid crops on boh sides only to get a small picture for all that $$$$$$. I've never been interested in Sammy, IFruit or Googley phones. I had a slew of windows phones and once I read the 7pro reviews I picked it upon release day. I've kept watching One Plus over the 4 years, knowing I'd need a new one at some point. Passed on the 9 and 10 and Grabbed the 11 on release day with 256 storage and 16 gigs of ram. Best buy had a great price and I can't be happier, I even got 24 month interest free! I'm really happy that the one thing that was a problem, connecting bluetooth to my 2016 Honda CRV. No Android auto, but soon after I contact OP it was resolved. Absolutely love the fasted charging of any phone in the US @ 80 watts it's a breeze. Love that the 3 phones I mentioned above are soooo slow to charge. I always get over a day on a charge and know with out the awesome charger it's not all that, and the charger comes with it. Most don't. Otherwise, I'm really happy that we're getting the 4 years and 5 of support and updates, although the last system update was July 5. Hopefully there will be one soon, I like to keep things up to date. By the way GSMarena is my first stop in my daily reading. Rock on y'all...........

          I gave an example of one application, what about others?
          If you don't use anything except Spotify, social media and a browser, you won't notice any shortcomings - I use my phone like a mini PC.
          I bought OnePlus 7 when the only thing I needed was raw performance power to play on phone, since then my priorities have changed and I want the complete package i.e. the whole package of applications, Dex, a good camera, certainty that the new update will not turn my phone into a brick or spen function without which I will not buy another phone

            WiseWolf, 15 Sep 2023Well, I would urge people to not buy Oneplus anymore. My OP... morei have a 9 pro, great phone early on its life but with each software update made it a little bit worse. i even lost dual sim capability after one!

              How is it that no one points out they've bitched the swiping of notifications and apps like Bumble and Badoo on OnePlus 11?
              And I the only one who has to swipe 5 times to get rid of a notification?

                          I don't believe the DND feature is a bad idea. Why would you want all calls to reach you while DND is on? You may as well turn DND off. It defeats the purpose of DND otherwise.

                            Thanks for this Long Term Review GSMArena. Just got my hands on this device after the 7T and 8T. With the dedicated Tele camera, this does feel like the spiritual successor to the 7T.

                              I kinda frustrated with op11... after update to the new security patch, widevine L1 downgraded to L3... theres no method to revert it to L1

                                Game Legion, 15 Sep 2023Wireless charging... Is just wired charging with more steps 🤣Well, it takes less since you don't have to plug it under the phone, put reverse wireless for earbuds.

                                    Had this phone for 3 months. One day it suddenly rebooted and got stuck on a bootloop. Had to wipe all the data and install firmware from scratch. Sold it after that. It's unreliable.

                                      I came from a Samsung S21 and honestly the OnePlus11 has been a fantastic phone. Build quality, battery life, screen, software updates, performance, charging speeds and camera performance are all well above average or fantastic. Hard to complain at all. It's a phone that just as the review said, just works and is ready to go all day long. It's unique enough to stand out in the market and not just another iPhone or Samsung. And with the top tier processor and ram packed in it with 5 years of security updates it's a phone that will last you a long time without worry

                                        I haven't had that auto brightness issue, though. Seems to work really well. Good review overall; camera is great, but not the best one out there. Battery life is great, but not the best again. What helps is the ridiculously fast charging. OS is lovely, better than older OOS versions - especially if you talk about smoothness. My 6T and 8T weren't this smooth (especially not while running OOS11!), but 8T got close with OOS 12 and 13/13.1.

                                        I highly recommend this phone, if you don't need the best camera out there and want an extremely smooth phone. I got mine for less than 600 euros this summer, making it a fantastic purchase.
