Oneplus 11 is probably the most underrated flagship of this year

I bought two OnePlus 11's in June for $600 and my husband and I absolutely love them. They are super fast, non-glitchy, beautiful phones and the best high end phones we've ever had, including Google Pixel phones, which I will never buy again. I highly recommend the OnePlus 11. Thank you for this video. 😊

@@nirmaldas2242 My Pixel 2XL was great but my Pixel 6 Pro had many issues. It seemed like nearly every update screwed something up and made it glitchy. It had a horrible mobile and Wi-Fi signal strength in comparison to both my OnePlus 8 Pro and my OnePlus 11. Absolutely terrible, lousy antennas in the Pixel line, which was my most important complaint since it's a "phone"! Both mine and my husband's would drop calls almost daily. The 6 Pro overheats, like you said, plus it has the slowest charging speed of any flagship phone I've ever seen, and I've had a bunch over the years! (The OnePlus 11 goes from 30% to 77% in 10 minutes - I've tested it several times!) My adult son still has his Pixel 6 Pro and the battery is just toast, even though he's very careful about not charging it to 100%. His Pixel will be 2 years old in December. IMHO, this OnePlus 11 is the fastest most powerful phone I've ever had and the signal strength gets an A+++. I'll probably never buy anything but a OnePlus ever again! (And the alert slider is back, too!) 😀

The Nothing Phone 2 is missing a telephoto lens, waterproofing and this year's processor to be competitive for its price. The OnePlus 11 feels like a much better deal, especially considering the fact they include better cams, 80W charging, SD 8 gen 2, higher resolution display with Dolby Vision, etc. Hopefully Nothing 3 will address these issues.

I can see the telephoto lens that is definitely an omission. But the Nothing phone has an 54 IP rating and the latest is fine if you're shopping by spec sheet. But the snap dragon 8+ gen 1 is fast enough for modern use. The one plus's snap dragon 8+ gen 2 is even under clocked from stock.

its the solid hardware which OnePlus provides is a winner for me. 100w charging, awesome battery life, amazing performance
I don't how the Phone 2 becomes an upper midranger if it has an older flagship but not that old chipset as well
Currently having OP 7 PRO as my first curved display phone and I can tell that I don´t wan´t curved display anymore. It is only more convenient when holding phone by it´s own but when I´m on wide screen for example, the "unwanted touches" on the edge of the display occures waaaay to often that it bothers me sometime + glass screen protectors will "peel" off more easily. I can use more nits in brightness more than higher IP rating since I have hard time reading display outside in sunny days. The chargin speed in one hand feels amazaing in OnePlus side, but after those years without wireless charging I want definitelly try out just putting my phone on something without searching the cable on my desk etc. 1 hour of charging is like Nothing, but still more charging speed would be nice. Absence of telephoto lense is crucial however and it is the only thing which is driving me back from purchasing Nothing. But still I will take more unzoomed photos than zoomed and the Macro + portrait mode looks nice.

And then there is ofc user interface in the OS and in my opinion Nothing is just rulling here.
OnePlus 11 is the BEST for performance to price. Nothing is for the more "iPhone" like feeling. While there are some reasoning behind the Oxygen/ColorOS merging. The main benefit is that there is a greater ability for BBK brands to build and publish software updates quicker. Minimizing overheads thus passing on the benefits of the lower cost of development.
Dope intro 🔥
i am user of OP since 5t, then 6, 7 pro ( the best one with Oxygen OS11 ) and now with Nord2. Recently bought NP2 and i love it. Battery life is something yoy will never get on OnePlus. I lile Nothing OS too. Oneplus going with ColorOS is 'no go" for me.

Nothing phone 2 uses gorilla glass 5, it's on their website's comparison spec sheet against the Nothing phone 1
My wife has the OnePlus 10T, which was an excellent phone. Until it got a software update and now basically runs Oppo's OS. For that reason alone I would go for the Nothing phone, as it runs clean Android. Plus, I think the front camera photos and video looked way better on the Nothing phone, while the other camera's were about the same as the OnePlus'. If you then take pricing into account, it's not that clear cut, imo.

You can't say that we are a creative brand with Charta Moonlight Lamp, a phone that after a while this lamp becomes Achilles' heel because generally simple phones are more beautiful and always maintain their beauty and do not become repetitive, and by imitating Apple, you only show your weakness.
After using both phone the nothing phone 2 is better but not by much. Software is better, camera is better. Especially the selfie camera is better on the nothing phone 2 and battery life is pretty much the same and rhe nothing phone does have wireless charging. Only thing the OnePlus has over the nothing phone is. A newer processor and fast charging. But other than that. You cant go wrong with either phone. I would personally pick the nothing phone 2 over the OnePlus 11.

Is the 1+11 worth at 649 with 16gb ram and 256gb storage or a Moto Edge+ 2023 at $400~ with 8gb ram and 512gb storage?

Ram shortage is a harder thing to deal with in 2023 than lack of storage. You can always get cloud based storage, but you can't get cloud based RAM 😂
But. How many people leave a phone Screen downwards? I certainly don't.. The screen is far more important than the rear.
Price is key here if we are talking about spec. In the UK Oneplus 11 is currently more than £250 more expensive than the Nothing 2.

Instead of these comparisons. Which are kinda useless, unless you want specifically one of those two phones (unlikely). I wish you could do classic phones review from the Nokia era or weird phones, like those from LG (Wing, Flex, Optimus, etc). Being part of GSMArena, I guess you guys still have tons of phones from back in the day. These kind of videos still get many views. Nokia Phone Collection channel got almost 200K subscribers just reviewing old Nokia stuff.
