What we like about OnePlus OnePlus 11 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Extremely fast wired charging (80W in the US, 100W internationally), with the charger included in the box (full charge in under 30 minutes).
  • Excellent, long-lasting battery life, often lasting 1.5 to 2 days with normal usage.
  • Blazing fast performance and smooth, lag-free user experience due to the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and ample RAM (up to 16GB).
  • Stunning 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED 120Hz display with excellent color, brightness, and smooth scrolling.
  • Good camera performance, with many users impressed by image quality and color reproduction, especially in good lighting and portrait mode.
  • OxygenOS software is clean, highly customizable, and largely bloat-free, with a commitment to four major Android updates and five years of security updates.
  • Competitive price point compared to other flagship smartphones from brands like Samsung and Apple.
  • Premium build quality and unique design, including the return of the physical Alert Slider.
  • Loud and balanced stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
  • Fast and reliable in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock.

What we don't like about OnePlus OnePlus 11 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Lack of wireless charging, a feature commonly found in other flagship phones in its price range.
  • No official IP rating for water immersion (only IP64 for splash resistance).
  • The camera system, while good, can be inconsistent in challenging low-light environments and the telephoto lens has a limited 2x optical zoom range.
  • The phone's smooth glass back makes it very slippery, requiring a case for safe handling.
  • Some users report minor software bugs, glitches, and occasional app freezes.
  • Does not support mmWave 5G connectivity in the US market, limiting access to the absolute fastest 5G speeds.
  • Front (selfie) camera video recording is limited to 1080p, while many competitors offer 4K.
  • The base model uses older UFS 3.1 storage speeds, with the faster UFS 4.0 only available on the higher-tier 256GB variant.

Verdict

The OnePlus Nord CE 4 (8GB + 128GB) is a mid-range 5G smartphone powered by the efficient Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and runs on OxygenOS 14 (Android 14). It features a vibrant 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a 16MP front camera. The main rear camera system includes a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and an 8MP ultrawide lens. A major pro is its exceptional battery life from a large 5,500mAh cell, complemented by a blazing-fast 100W SUPERVOOC charger that can fully charge the device in under 40 minutes. It also offers expandable storage via microSD and an IR blaster. Primary cons include a plastic build with an IP54 rating for basic splash resistance, average low-light camera performance, the absence of an alert slider or NFC in some regions, and a limited software update policy of only two major Android versions.
