Only time will tell if you are destroying the battery. Really fast charging has been around at least 3-4 years, really really fast about 2 years. So far there is no evidence phones are being ruined by very fast charging.
@@artdogg50 my realme GT 5 pro is charging really quickly... But almost 2 years now and I can definitely say that battery lofe has become really poor. Not such a big problem since I can charge it in 30min.
@@baptistelegrand9295 What's that charge at 65 watts? I find battery life usually decreases some with pretty much every phone I have after a few years. Decreasing isn't dead though. Like I said the jury is still out.
Oneplus more so than pixel. Pixel is a custom exynos Samsung chip but it does have a high mali gpu core for Vulkan performance. Oneplus is still general choice with that snapdragon chip which has the highest compatibility for emulators and performance
@@davidcharpentier3045 I've not notice it to be a problem. If it has lagged I've not seen it to hinder the experience. Maybe as I play with it more it might become noticeable but not to this point.
Finally someone giving a logical and unbiased view on the OnePlus 11. S23 ultra is probably the best Android phone out there right now. But the op11 offers 90 percent of the same experience at almost half the price. ( And that makes a lot of sense in the current inflated World, and if u don't need a high zoom lens, the op11 offers around 95 percent of what the s23u is offering )
Just got my OP11 and it's pretty dope. The screen looks fantastic, the charging and battery life are phenomenal and the price was pretty reasonable. I was even able to trade in my old OP3 for $210 in trade in value. This is the first time I've had a legit flagship phone and I'm really liking the premium experience.
Oneplus my only issue is it’s color OS now but I think it’s probably still better than Samsung I like Samsung I do my best too but the bloatware to me is eh. What I do like is the s pen addiction tho. Oneplus generally is more stockish and good at emulation I believe with less throttling
Things they don't mention about the S23 ultra. 1- Tons of Bloatware, most can't be removed taking up resources and you're information/trojan horse. As bad as 50/70% as studies found. 2-Adds appear on you're main phone without data connected. 3-Can't unlocked the boot loader to flash you're device to another Os, Samsung locked it like iphone. 4-No charger you have to buy it extra!! Wtf ! 5- No screen protector. Now they're having screen issues and they're playing it off.
@@Misael8924 so your best choice is oneplus? Or what do you recommend? I believe what you say cause the s23 ultra emulation performance from what I seen isn’t what a snapdragon 8 gen 2 should be doing
Its funny how this video with really no high end production gimmicks & rather just a guy in front of a camera with relatable and informative, unbiased content had me more interested as opposed to the thousands of bootleg channels from around the world that have unfortunately plagued the tech scene here on youtube (most of which, one cannot even understand) You've earned yourself a sub mate, cheers!
If you can get the new s23 ultra for $600 when switching to google fi when porting a number in the US I'd try that. OnePlus is a good phone and you hit all the points correctly. Good review and comparison. Only real downside to the OnePlus is there are less third party cases but it's a good alternative for almost half the price. I really don't like coloros/oxygen os though either. The Oneplus is also on sale for the 256gb for $699 ($100 off). Definitely worth a consideration for the 16gb ram, 80watt charging, and quad hd display.
I switched from a s23 plus to oneplus 11r and this is my first oneplus. While benchmarks and reviews show that both have similar performance, oneplus is way smoother in real life. No frame drops no jerks. I was really frustrated with Samsungs heating issues. And there are some noticeable problems. For example, I always found it to lag for a few moments after unlocking before it picks up. Another issue was the quick settings. With notifications it will almost always have a jerky transition while sliding down. And the deal breaker was Google maps. I live in India and in the tropical climate here the Samsung heated excessively if you open the maps app on a sunny day and used navigation. I had to have it mounted on the Ac vent to have it stay under control. Definitely Samsungs one ui is more polished and oneplus still has silly bugs but oneplus gets the basics correct better than Samsung. And the charging is something that I never realized what a big deal it is. I never need to charge oneplus it more than 10 mins. It's such a big quality of life improvement!
I live in Arizona and have an s23 plus. The summers are 115+ degrees on a cool day, lmao. My phone has not had heating issues and my younger family member emulated dragonball z budokai tenkaichi 3 for 7 hours in aethersx2 at max settings. Also, I regularly Door Dash, which is the app that heats phones uo the most, and it still doesn't get hot. Sounds like you have a faulty unit 🤷🏾♂️
Really thankful you made this video because it took what I thought I knew and 100% confirmed it. The Oneplus 11 goes toe to toe with the S23 Ultra in so many areas! Thanks for helping me get the most out of money and helping me to see the great value in ordering the Oneplus 11 for way less than the S23Ultra 😁 God Bless! Excellent Content!!
Honestly, what oneplus has done with the oneplus 11 is very impressive. All these amazing spec with the price under 1000$. I love Samsung S23 Ultra but the price is just way too high. The only sad thing about oneplus 11 is that it doesn't has the wireless charger. which is not a big deal of course because the fast charging cable is doing absolutely incredible. Android is killing it at the moment. I've used iPhone for over 10 years now and still an apple fan boy but as of right now i am currently using oneplus 11 as my primary device and oppo find N2 flip 2. Having said that i'm still looking forward to the new 15 Pro Max especially knowing that they finally change to USB C. The lightning cable is frustratingly slow and so old fashion. Anyway, Android rules.!!!!!!!!
Another great video as usual!! Thanks Adam!! I just received my OP11 16/256gb Yesterday and for just over 500 bucks with trade in and their 200 bucks bonus!! Can't beat it!! Love it!!
Great vid Adam. Especially with the rise in costs of living most people can't afford a S23U. The OP11 or Pixel phones will do nicely. Also don't forget the haptics on the OP11 are way superior than the S23U. IMO Samsung need to step up on their haptic game.
I think the selling point for me are the new OnePlus buds pro 2. They are phenomenal. Best audio wireless audio experience I have ever had. And they were free with the phone.
Excellent comparison, relatively short, and to the point. I've always bought the Note series and have ordered the S23 Ultra, putting my Note 20 Ultra to rest. I still like to keep tabs on the competition and will jump ship when I deem Samsung no longer worthy. OnePlus makes a great phone but Samsung has many cool features that I would miss. Losing the micro SD card slot was a major strike for me, although I never came close to maxing out the storage. I don't like losing options.
Micro sd storage space is good but being able to quickly transfer the stored data manually is paramount. You can have two cards in your wallet to use for specific purposes along with one in the phone and then alternate as it suits you.
Right On! Just sold my iPhone 13 Pro Max for $750 and bought OnePlus 11 256 gig at Best Buy today for $599! I’m the fool for spending $1099 every year with Apple to get the same phone. Great Video! People like you, are waking people like me, up.😅
the (big) problem with the Oneplus 11 is not the hardware but the software. Not about the current Oxygen/Color OS vs old Oxygen os fiasco. Color os is pretty decent. It's also not just the software bugs that come with their OS over time. Even Samsung / iPhones get bugs. What's bad is fixing those issues on time. Oneplus community forums are filled with users having lots of minor/major issues/bugs which are not being fixed for a pretty long time even after multiple updates. Slow bug fixes and not fixing a lot of bugs, that is their biggest problem.
Mm true but as someone who likes Samsung and sort of like iphone I’d say oneplus is a pretty good balance you still get snapdragon power for a lot less and arguably smoother since Samsung is a bit slower from one u.i
I left for Samsung s22 ultra from OnePlus 9 pro when color os rolled out. It was a disaster. OnePlus ALWAYS was about oxygen os, a clean android no bullshit. Then they threw that out to color os which is the same as any other bloatware bullshit android. I left. Samsung is not much better. Lots of bullshit, lots of issues, touchscreen is much less fluid and less responsive. Samsung made me really miss oxygen os. Just from small things like you can't add an app to homescreen by dragging it, you have to long press, menu comes up- click add to homescreen, flip the homescreen to find the app, then drag it where you want it. Unorganized menu that's like a rabbit hole to descend down and other bullshit. Updating brakes everything. It broke the OnePlus and broke the Samsung. I never updated anything since. They don't fix anything. They don't add features. They redesign and redesign and redesign icons to make more bullshit and justify them having jobs. Seriously the last big android update was picture in picture like 5 years ago. Nothing new since. I'm rambling but my point is, OnePlus was king with oxygen os. Samsung was never kind with it's bullshit. Don't buy either.
@@CaptainPupu even updating a iPhone does the same shit. Really no phone should be updated. My old google pixel Xl was amazing with android 7 and 8 but 10 is absolutely horrible on that phone.
I think this was a very important comparison. In fact, it's solidly demonstrates the difference between a flagship and a flagship killer. That is really what we're talking about here. Of course, with the Samsung you're going to get all the bells and whistles but, what if you don't need them? From my own personal perspective, it is $500 more for a bunch of fluffy features that I would never use. In addition, with the exception of the gen2 processor it is just a rerun of last year's s22. I chose the OnePlus 11 which hit my doorstep yesterday. I just purchased a 10 Pro a few weeks ago and was still within my return window for Amazon so, I sent it back. Strictly speaking, I thought the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, this phone look like something special. In addition, I was able to purchase it for about $170 cheaper than the 10 Pro. In fact, I was able to purchase the 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price as the entry model; $699.99. apparently, it was on sale the day I purchased it. I want to touch on a feature that the OnePlus 11 has that the Samsung Galaxy s 23 ultra can't touch. Specifically, I'm talking about virtual ram. While the 16GB version that I purchased is powerful, the ram can be extended to 12 GB more for a total of 28 GB via virtual ram. In the settings menu under about phone, if you tap on RAM it will give you the option to extend the ram either 4, 8 or 12 GB virtually. The extra ram is borrowed from the ROM and reassigned as RAM. That is speed that the Samsung just can't match. Combine that feature with features like dual SIM card ability and 80 watt fast charging and you have some truly unique functions that the Samsung just can't touch. A flagship phone like the Samsung will give you a variety of features but, a flagship killer will concentrate on power. Combine that with high-end build quality and sell it at a lower price and you will have an amazing value.
Glad to know. I like Samsung and google pixel phones but definitely have to admit oneplus has always had the good reputation of value and performance. I heard they don’t throttle like the Samsungs and pixels do too. Especially emulation .
@@robmalcolm8042 honestly, they went through a couple of years there where their phones got kind of expensive. I really feel they got weighed down in the minutiae of trying to build flagships like Samsung or Google. They really got back to being a flagship killer with the OnePlus 11. I received mine a few days ago and I absolutely love it. You are quite correct, OnePlus phones don't throttle the way that Samsung's or Google pixels do. They're all about speed and performance. I daresay, you would be hard-pressed to find a phone that run smoother than a oneplus.
@@dr.fitprofessor1970 yes I know they had a few years where they fell off but I can see how the 11 is good and the s23 ultra definitely is smoother than the s22 but I still think oneplus as a android is very smooth and competitive. Google is good but it uses a custom exynos so even with stock android it’s going to get hot
@@robmalcolm8042 again, you are quite correct about the processor in the pixel. Frankly, exynos processors tend to run hot and bleed a lot of power unnecessarily. As far as OnePlus is concerned, I really feel that with the exception of the 10t that they developed a lot of good devices over the last few years. However, it really isn't what their fanbase wanted and it was certainly not at the price they were willing to pay. Although, I was kind of the exception to that rule. LOL. Actually, I purchase a 10 Pro back in early January and I decided to return it and pre-order the 11. After using it the past few days, I am convinced that I made a good decision. Don't get me wrong, I feel the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, I just couldn't pass the 11 up. Especially, since I was able to order it about $170 cheaper than attend Pro. In fact, I was able to get it on sale for $699.99. Moreover, I purchase the 16GB of RAM with 256gb of storage variant for the same price as the entry model of 8 GB of RAM with 128gb of storage. I really couldn't pass up that deal.
@@dr.fitprofessor1970 I like that they offer a 16gb ram model that’s helpful for stuff like emulation and the longevity of the android OS. I hope t mobile can offer it eventually as they usually do but the issue is they tend to offer only the lower ram model
I'm on my 3d OnePlus (the 11 now) and I like them a lot. Had Iphones, tried a Google Pixel (hated it...) and OnePlus does everything I want, best screen going, easy to run OS, saves some $.
Thanks for this amazing video. I thought 1+11 isn't that great compared to S23U and iPhone 14PM. But watching this video, I'll upgrade my 1+9 to 1+11 🎉
The only thing I'm concerned about with 1+ is the software. Samsung has a very good software. Plus, I don't think they will keep their promise with 4 years of updates
stupid question: have you explored options to upgrade your microphone? I only mention this because I love your presentation and content, but your volume and sound quality are noticeably poor compared to your competitors. Sorry to post this publicly, I am not trying to be a jerk. I just thought I would ask, because you are spot on with your reviews and content, so maybe no one has ever asked this question? thanks for being patient.
I spent almost $300 on a shure microphone that I use. It sounds good to me when I listen to it. Some people have said it doesn’t sound great but I’ve watched on multiple different devices and it sounds fine. Not saying you’re wrong. It’s not the first time I’ve heard it. What are you watching on?
The ultra line of galaxy is honestly unnecessary for most. I'm happy with my s23+ it's definitely a jump from my s21+. I'm here just to see different options. Like the pixel phone is a nice option too
Love the comparison. I prefer Oneplus and rather get a bang for your buck deal with it. Oneplus has amazing phones. I use to own a oneplus phone and I can attest to the experience I had with it being phenomenal! Very excited to save up and hopefully get my hands on the Oneplus 11. Phone looks very promising and I am more willing to save more. 😎
One ui 5.1 is just something else now, the animations are smoother than the iPhone!! And better performance and battery, battery life is amazing, I never would have thought this from samsung, s23 is built different, also the new storage 4.0 plus sd8 gen2 made for samsung
Long time Samsung s series user here very disappointed with Samsung bad trading deals. I got my new OnePlus 11 delivered yesterday and so far I'm very pleased especially with the camera quality . Don't think I'm going back to Samsung
Same here. Had S4, S7, Note 9 (not to mention tablets, phones for wife, monitors, TVs). Ordered OnPlus. I don't want to pay for something called premium that comes without even necessary thing like charging brick, not to mention headphones and spare S-pen drawing parts.
Coming from an iPhone where I used MagSafe extensively and exclusively... am surprised how much happier with faster VOOC charging. I am loving OnePlus.
As a person who is on the move a LOT I do a lot of charging in my vehicle. Here's the issue I had. The charging in the vehicle is wonky at best. Some times I'd get regular charge, 3+ hours to charge, sometimes I'd get faster charging 1-1.5 hrs, and occasionally I'd get the insane speeds charging. Overall, it was painful trying to get it to do a constant charge. I could but get a bonified 1+ car charger because they were consistently out of stock. I tried a what was suoposed to be a 1+ car charger, but none of them gave me the high speed charge. I also used the 1+ usb cord, but still had issues. Aside from the proprietary charging, i LOVE the phones. Most don't even worry or think about the car charger part, they only worry about the wall charger.
What people don't understand is the OP does have water resistance, they just don't pay for the rating because if they did they would have to charge more. They pass the savings on to u.
Great review. Im pretty much decided on getting this 11 to replace my 1+6 that has been an amazing workhorse. Im on it from 7am most of the day watching videos and browsing interests on the original battery. Try that with a 5 1/2 year old constantly in serviced iPhone or Galaxy. Good luck. Hah! 😁
It has ip64 water rating officially and not to mention it probably does have the same ip68 rating it's just that it costs more to have the certification.
Not sure if this is just the Chinese domestic model, or if they did a mid-production upgrade, but on the Taobao shopping app, it’s showing 100W charging, and the phones go up to 512GB storage.
Excellent review! I had the S22 Ultra and decided to switch to the One Plus 11. I can tell you that I am enjoying my experience with this phone far more than the S22 Ultra. Same specs for the most part at nearly half the price. Call clarity is fantastic, the camera is better than what I expected, and the charging speed is fantastic. I was never one to really use wireless charging as it was far too slow for me. I do not regret one bit switching to One Plus and the review here just echoes what I am currently experiencing. Continue the great work and reviews!!!
@@Abercrombemonkey I am truly pleased with the Oneplus 11. Granted, the camera isn't as good as the S22 ultra or S23, but it is a true flagship phone in my humble opinion and the Camera is pretty darn good regardless. I would recommend the Oneplus 11 and have no regrets. I have been a Samsung user for years and was on that bandwagon for the lo gest time but this phone has really surprised me.
@@aryankalra I am still enjoying my OP11 over the S22. Granted, you won't get the S pen but I found that I really don't miss it. The performance in the OP11 has been great, and the 80W super fast charge is great. Battery life is insane as well so I am very pleased thus far, much better IMO compared to S22, due to the new chipset. Regardless, I am very happy with OP11 and don't think I will be going back to Samsung any time soon.
I really feel this is the best overall deal on a flagship, especially for the US market. Also think it's in line with, if not maybe better than any foreign phone around the same price right now.
I just bought OnePlus 11 . I have been OnePlus user since it launched it's first phone and have always been amazed what it's phone is capable of doing at such a ridiculous price. I still feel it's one of the most underrated phone on the planet. It can smoke flagships of Samsung and Apple in many department to be honest
I'm considering it over the s23 ultra, my issue is I'm worried it'll have issues going forward. I'm currently using a OnePlus 7t pro, and while it was really fast at the beginning, almost a year later, and it's got battery issues and it's slowing down
@@superior_nobody07 I have been using OnePlus 11 and so far working smooth like a butter and outstanding battery life . Charging the phone I don't want to even talk about it it's that ridiculous. I can't say about Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra since I have never used the phone but OnePlus will surely give the best bang for your buck
How is the navigation system using Google GPS and Waze ?? I had oneplus 7T which had navigation issue and that made me never to look back at oneplus. If it's good I'm considering to get oneplus 11.
ON my 7pro I found out if you just disable all the camera AI stuff it actually took better pictures and video. I'm curious to see if it does the same for the OnePlus 11.
The Oneplus 11 is $1400 NZ here in New Zealand. And only the 256 model offered so far. Around $1000 is about my limit, so I'll just have to dream a bit longer.
I think the biggest scam in the industry is that manufacturers started giving us way less features for the same/if not more money. The SD card isn't there anymore so that they can upcharge us significantly for more storage. A Samsung micro SD card starts around $25 for 256GB but the upgrade from 256 to 512 for the S23 Ultra is $180. Sure, you get the extra RAM but RAM is cheap. No IR blaster? I know Android TVs are becoming way more common, but c'mon, not everyone has one and it's so convenient to use your remote for different devices all from your phone. I get it, Samsung puts just about the most robust feature set into their to model phone, but I'd also really appreciate if they didn't nerf the smaller Galaxy S models. I don't want, nor need the S Pen and hate the sharper corners and curved screen, but I have to take a dramatic drop off in specs for only $200 less in the S23+. No LTPO screen, no 200MP camera, no option for 12GB of RAM and a few other things I may be missing, but it's frustrating. There's only a $100 difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in the US and the difference in feature set is much smaller, basically screen size and battery size except for some very minor things. Sorry for the rant, just frustrated with this stuff, and the fact that we've, for the most part, accepted less for our money over time.
@@AlexMkd1984 oh I won't. I just got my S23+ yesterday which I do like in lieu of everything I said, but just frustrated with the lack of features that used to be staples. I didn't say I wanted a dumbed down experience so I'll never daily an iPhone lol. Just the fact that the 2 pro models don't have many differences is what Samsung should go for between the Plus and Ultra models.
Dealbreakers for the OP 11 are: no IP rating no wireless charge USB C port is 2.0 instead of 3.0 (mind blowing that a new 2023 phone has such an old technology and port. This is unacceptable if transferring files from PC is something important for you.) My oneplus 8 pro from 2019 has all three of these features (ip68, wireless charge, USB 3.1) so there is no way I would spend so much on a new phone to have worse features than what I got on my phone from 3 years ago. Oh, and my oneplus 8 pro also charges up to 100 in around half an hour. Basically if these features don't matter to you, then sure go for the OP 11, but saying the phones are in the same league is simply not true. Also, it remains to be seen how well the OP 11 stands up to Jerryrigeverything's durability test. The 10 and 10T performed horribly and were so poorly designed that they snapped in half.
Great video! Since the disappointing S21 line up I've slowly started to drift away from Samsung. The ONLY premium flagship they make is the Ultra and its too big and expensive and I don't use any of the extra features the Ultra line offers. I'm NOT going to use a phone with a 1080p screen! That's an old resolution that even Samung removed since the S6 with their 1440p displays. Why did they go backward!!!
I'm curious the difference in cell signal between them. My wife and I both have Verizon. I have the S21 Ultra and she has the OnePlus 6. When ever we are on vacation in the middle of nowhere, her phone destroys mine in cell signal strength. I'll have no signal with an X showing and she still has 2 bars and 4g internet.
It's IP64 but those ratings are largely only for peace of mind. I have a 10T which is only IP54, but I keep it in my pocket while i run so its regularly getting hit with rain and sweat. No issues. Besides, no phone company will cover water damage for manufacturer warranty in 99% of cases. Water resistance is not waterproof. Samsung and Google/Fitbit wont cover their "swimproof" smartwatches either.
I bought this phone yesterday. But i am having a problem with the vibration intensity. Even reducing the vibration intensity doesn't reduce it. anyone facing the same problem? and any solution? Would be much appreciated. Thank you
Does operating system have performance difference on both phones? Oxygen to whatever Samsung uses. I’m coming from 15 years of iPhone. Just want the fastest operating phone. Can care less for camera/video
All you are saying is one plus is S23 ultra minus dex & wireless charging? In the pixel camp, is there dex ? Also, Can you compare pixel 7 pro with s23 ultra? Man, iphones never had dex setup, no wonder I never got interested.
Thank you for pointing out the price difference. It helped me make my decision. I don't need wireless charging, I don't need the latest updates or the best camera. Just need the strongest performance 😊
What about the build quality and durability? I know firsthand about samsungs flagship, they last for years, battery does not wear out etc. What about oneplus?
YEAH, waterproof that why my note 20 fell into the water and now i'm researching and bought one plus 11, never like wireless charging , it's waste of energy, the heat it generated is obscure, inefficient and not for me at all., FYI my note 20 5g ultra had to repair for water damage once prior to this just by water splashing on the boat, and once for screen replacement, and 3rd time , it died after update... surprise, it still works and everything except i wont get receptions . Hence i researched Pixel 7 pro, & s23 ultra vs samsung flip 5 and this phone, this one win in every aspect.
Past 2 years I've been using s21plus and 22plus. But exynos suck. I was looking forward for snapdragon in my region. But it's over priced even for the plus variant, so I'm settling down with oneplus this year.
Sry but im all about the display and I cant pass up samsungs displays. The color the brightness the resolution just everything. Plus I like samsungs ui way more. Idc if the price is more for me its worth it. Just getting what you want and like most makes it worth it to me. I was pretty dissapointed in the back step that one plus took in color and display overall. They wrre able to compete with samsungs display just a few years ago. This time you can see where they cut corners to cut cost. They hsve a great processor so if the screen isnt an issue for it then go for jt. But i remember when one plus had almost more color and brightness then samsung did and for less while still performing equally as good. Thats when i was like ok this thing is amazing. But after seeing the display in person side by side the samsung I was like damnit. Because it was an option for me until I saw that. But its about what matters to you most so go with what you like.
I have both. If someone where to hand me a OnePlus 11 and said i could only use this phone, id be pretty happy. The op11 is a really sold phone. There are even some software ui elemets i like better on the op11. The charging is incredible. That being said using both and comparing them you start to see the differences. The s23U just has a bigger and better screen, better cameras, the spen and wireless charging which fits my use case the best.
Hey, thanks for the video. Not sure about the comparison wouldn’t a better comparison be the regular S 23 or the S 23+… I had to 1+7 pro so I really like Oneplus or I did I just wonder about their software and about their commitment to four years and five years of security. I’m gonna have to wait a year and see what happens with their updates and security patches and then maybe at one +12 but they’ve been cut a chunk and out the last year or so so
ask yourself people in the grand scheme of things do you need all these features in a phone do you really need the latest and greatest which in reality ain't groundbreaking
Let's not compare to ultra instead s23 plus . No.ip rating, 2x telephoto with no OIS ,no wireless charger, less software support, less accessories availability no 4k front video. There is no competition with ultra here .
Received my OP11 last night and was super excited. Mind you that 've been using Oneplus since the the very first one! To my utter disappointment the OS keep on freezing and the screen kept going black. Spent an hour and kept on rebooting to no avail. I wanted to love this specially since I am supposed to get $200 credit for my 5T but ... I already purchased a S23 Ultra which I am supposed to pick up today. I guess this is the end of Oneplus run after 9 years.
I mean, you could have just received a faulty unit as I've not seen a single person report this type of issue nor have I had any issues with mine. Hopefully you enjoy your S23 Ultra though! Cheers!
Unfortunately, over the past several years Oneplus has proven to have absolutely horrible track record when it comes to updates, fixing bugs etc. I bought OP 9 Pro and I have the infamous "media storage" bug, where the media files take 2x space they should, because with every new media file like a photo/video the size of the MediaStorage system app also grows. It's currently taking 100gb out of 256 and Oneplus hasn't fixed it for the past 2 years and multiple system/Android updates.
OnePlus 11 has dual SIM! I’ve used OP for 7 years and S22U for almost a year. I’m a fan of both but I changed brand when OP dropped the dual SIM. S22U has the eSIM disaster that we’ve already seen. My OP7 has my other SIM.
Man the charging on the 11 is insane. I don't charge overnight anymore. I wake up plug it in while i shower and bam it's 💯
And you're destroying your battery.
It will destroy your phone very soon wait and watch my friend and one more thing OnePlus 11 is failed in bend test 👎👎👎👎👎 crap software updates
Only time will tell if you are destroying the battery. Really fast charging has been around at least 3-4 years, really really fast about 2 years. So far there is no evidence phones are being ruined by very fast charging.
@@artdogg50 my realme GT 5 pro is charging really quickly... But almost 2 years now and I can definitely say that battery lofe has become really poor. Not such a big problem since I can charge it in 30min.
@@baptistelegrand9295 What's that charge at 65 watts? I find battery life usually decreases some with pretty much every phone I have after a few years. Decreasing isn't dead though. Like I said the jury is still out.
Extremely well said. The value that OnePlus and Pixel provide is insane. I grabbed the OP11 and love it
Oneplus more so than pixel. Pixel is a custom exynos Samsung chip but it does have a high mali gpu core for Vulkan performance. Oneplus is still general choice with that snapdragon chip which has the highest compatibility for emulators and performance
Do u still use it and is it good
@@zakiabdalle2195 ya I do , very solid phone 👌
Galaxy S23 Ultra Doesn't have Any Visual VoiceMail so you Are stuck using your 1999 Access to your Voicemail.
That's the one I want to get for xmas this year, keeping my eye out for prices
The OP11 is amazing!! Absolutely love mine. The S23 Ultra is indeed nice but doesn't justify such an exorbitant cost.
do you have the 120hz problem that wont activate like on youtube gmail and other apps .. on 10 pro it was stuck at 60hz like on gallery photo etc
@@davidcharpentier3045 I've not notice it to be a problem. If it has lagged I've not seen it to hinder the experience. Maybe as I play with it more it might become noticeable but not to this point.
@@davidcharpentier3045 I have the same bug, but it's not really bothering me to be honest but it would be nice if they fix it someday
In Brazil this phone coust $2050 and up to 70% of the working population receive up to 550 dollars a month
I feel if you are paying anything more than $1000 then it's better to get an Apple iphone . At least it has a much better resale value
Finally someone giving a logical and unbiased view on the OnePlus 11.
S23 ultra is probably the best Android phone out there right now. But the op11 offers 90 percent of the same experience at almost half the price. ( And that makes a lot of sense in the current inflated World, and if u don't need a high zoom lens, the op11 offers around 95 percent of what the s23u is offering )
Just got my OP11 and it's pretty dope. The screen looks fantastic, the charging and battery life are phenomenal and the price was pretty reasonable. I was even able to trade in my old OP3 for $210 in trade in value. This is the first time I've had a legit flagship phone and I'm really liking the premium experience.
@@billygowhoop cheers! Enjoy! I know that feeling!
Oneplus my only issue is it’s color OS now but I think it’s probably still better than Samsung I like Samsung I do my best too but the bloatware to me is eh. What I do like is the s pen addiction tho. Oneplus generally is more stockish and good at emulation I believe with less throttling
Things they don't mention about the S23 ultra.
1- Tons of Bloatware, most can't be removed taking up resources and you're information/trojan horse. As bad as 50/70% as studies found. 2-Adds appear on you're main phone without data connected. 3-Can't unlocked the boot loader to flash you're device to another Os, Samsung locked it like iphone. 4-No charger you have to buy it extra!! Wtf !
5- No screen protector.
Now they're having screen issues and they're playing it off.
@@Misael8924 so your best choice is oneplus? Or what do you recommend? I believe what you say cause the s23 ultra emulation performance from what I seen isn’t what a snapdragon 8 gen 2 should be doing
Its funny how this video with really no high end production gimmicks & rather just a guy in front of a camera with relatable and informative, unbiased content had me more interested as opposed to the thousands of bootleg channels from around the world that have unfortunately plagued the tech scene here on youtube (most of which, one cannot even understand)
You've earned yourself a sub mate, cheers!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Welcome aboard.
Got the OnePlus 11 and have to set it up loving it so far... Samsung is getting ridiculous with their pricing
If you can get the new s23 ultra for $600 when switching to google fi when porting a number in the US I'd try that. OnePlus is a good phone and you hit all the points correctly. Good review and comparison. Only real downside to the OnePlus is there are less third party cases but it's a good alternative for almost half the price. I really don't like coloros/oxygen os though either. The Oneplus is also on sale for the 256gb for $699 ($100 off). Definitely worth a consideration for the 16gb ram, 80watt charging, and quad hd display.
They have a shit load of cases now, the one plus 11.
@@Shotives_LA ya but they will never have as many as Samsung and iPhone 🤷🏾♂️
I switched from a s23 plus to oneplus 11r and this is my first oneplus. While benchmarks and reviews show that both have similar performance, oneplus is way smoother in real life. No frame drops no jerks. I was really frustrated with Samsungs heating issues. And there are some noticeable problems. For example, I always found it to lag for a few moments after unlocking before it picks up. Another issue was the quick settings. With notifications it will almost always have a jerky transition while sliding down. And the deal breaker was Google maps. I live in India and in the tropical climate here the Samsung heated excessively if you open the maps app on a sunny day and used navigation. I had to have it mounted on the Ac vent to have it stay under control. Definitely Samsungs one ui is more polished and oneplus still has silly bugs but oneplus gets the basics correct better than Samsung. And the charging is something that I never realized what a big deal it is. I never need to charge oneplus it more than 10 mins. It's such a big quality of life improvement!
I live in Arizona and have an s23 plus. The summers are 115+ degrees on a cool day, lmao. My phone has not had heating issues and my younger family member emulated dragonball z budokai tenkaichi 3 for 7 hours in aethersx2 at max settings. Also, I regularly Door Dash, which is the app that heats phones uo the most, and it still doesn't get hot. Sounds like you have a faulty unit 🤷🏾♂️
Really thankful you made this video because it took what I thought I knew and 100% confirmed it. The Oneplus 11 goes toe to toe with the S23 Ultra in so many areas! Thanks for helping me get the most out of money and helping me to see the great value in ordering the Oneplus 11 for way less than the S23Ultra 😁 God Bless! Excellent Content!!
Sobre todo. Con la cámara 📷 jjajajaja
Honestly, what oneplus has done with the oneplus 11 is very impressive. All these amazing spec with the price under 1000$. I love Samsung S23 Ultra but the price is just way too high. The only sad thing about oneplus 11 is that it doesn't has the wireless charger. which is not a big deal of course because the fast charging cable is doing absolutely incredible. Android is killing it at the moment. I've used iPhone for over 10 years now and still an apple fan boy but as of right now i am currently using oneplus 11 as my primary device and oppo find N2 flip 2. Having said that i'm still looking forward to the new 15 Pro Max especially knowing that they finally change to USB C. The lightning cable is frustratingly slow and so old fashion. Anyway, Android rules.!!!!!!!!
They already dropped the price on the oneplus 11 16gb 256 gb storage to $699 on best buy.
Another great video as usual!! Thanks Adam!! I just received my OP11 16/256gb Yesterday and for just over 500 bucks with trade in and their 200 bucks bonus!! Can't beat it!! Love it!!
Hey, what phone did you trade in?
Great vid Adam. Especially with the rise in costs of living most people can't afford a S23U. The OP11 or Pixel phones will do nicely. Also don't forget the haptics on the OP11 are way superior than the S23U. IMO Samsung need to step up on their haptic game.
@@Technocrat. I wouldn't do it personally
I think the selling point for me are the new OnePlus buds pro 2. They are phenomenal. Best audio wireless audio experience I have ever had. And they were free with the phone.
They really are fantastic earbuds!
It seems stuff that tends to be less popular is better than what’s popular lol
@@robmalcolm8042 well sheep aren't very intelligent
@@panda1412. lol definitely. Air pods being a clear example and beats. Especially if your into audio quality or audiophile.
Must of been a launch special cause I just bought one from OnePlus and no free anything. 😂
Excellent comparison, relatively short, and to the point. I've always bought the Note series and have ordered the S23 Ultra, putting my Note 20 Ultra to rest. I still like to keep tabs on the competition and will jump ship when I deem Samsung no longer worthy. OnePlus makes a great phone but Samsung has many cool features that I would miss. Losing the micro SD card slot was a major strike for me, although I never came close to maxing out the storage. I don't like losing options.
S23 ultra don't have memory card slots either.. Samsung is screwing the customers
Micro sd storage space is good but being able to quickly transfer the stored data manually is paramount. You can have two cards in your wallet to use for specific purposes along with one in the phone and then alternate as it suits you.
Also worth noting as I feel it's going to be a big enough deal with most 2023 flagships is the use of UFS 4.0 memory which both of these use.
Just to add to this; the 256 idea UFS 4.0 The 128 uses UFS 3.1
Great video Adam! Always look forward to your new content. I really like the OnePlus 11, it looks so nice.
Right On! Just sold my iPhone 13 Pro Max for $750 and bought OnePlus 11 256 gig at Best Buy today for $599! I’m the fool for spending $1099 every year with Apple to get the same phone. Great Video! People like you, are waking people like me, up.😅
the (big) problem with the Oneplus 11 is not the hardware but the software. Not about the current Oxygen/Color OS vs old Oxygen os fiasco. Color os is pretty decent. It's also not just the software bugs that come with their OS over time. Even Samsung / iPhones get bugs. What's bad is fixing those issues on time. Oneplus community forums are filled with users having lots of minor/major issues/bugs which are not being fixed for a pretty long time even after multiple updates. Slow bug fixes and not fixing a lot of bugs, that is their biggest problem.
Mm true but as someone who likes Samsung and sort of like iphone I’d say oneplus is a pretty good balance you still get snapdragon power for a lot less and arguably smoother since Samsung is a bit slower from one u.i
I left for Samsung s22 ultra from OnePlus 9 pro when color os rolled out. It was a disaster. OnePlus ALWAYS was about oxygen os, a clean android no bullshit. Then they threw that out to color os which is the same as any other bloatware bullshit android. I left.
Samsung is not much better. Lots of bullshit, lots of issues, touchscreen is much less fluid and less responsive. Samsung made me really miss oxygen os. Just from small things like you can't add an app to homescreen by dragging it, you have to long press, menu comes up- click add to homescreen, flip the homescreen to find the app, then drag it where you want it. Unorganized menu that's like a rabbit hole to descend down and other bullshit.
Updating brakes everything. It broke the OnePlus and broke the Samsung. I never updated anything since. They don't fix anything. They don't add features. They redesign and redesign and redesign icons to make more bullshit and justify them having jobs. Seriously the last big android update was picture in picture like 5 years ago. Nothing new since.
I'm rambling but my point is, OnePlus was king with oxygen os. Samsung was never kind with it's bullshit. Don't buy either.
@@CaptainPupu even updating a iPhone does the same shit. Really no phone should be updated. My old google pixel Xl was amazing with android 7 and 8 but 10 is absolutely horrible on that phone.
I am watching all your Samsung content, great work! My S23 ultra arriving today, super exciting. Thanks for all the prior info 😉
I think this was a very important comparison. In fact, it's solidly demonstrates the difference between a flagship and a flagship killer. That is really what we're talking about here. Of course, with the Samsung you're going to get all the bells and whistles but, what if you don't need them? From my own personal perspective, it is $500 more for a bunch of fluffy features that I would never use. In addition, with the exception of the gen2 processor it is just a rerun of last year's s22.
I chose the OnePlus 11 which hit my doorstep yesterday. I just purchased a 10 Pro a few weeks ago and was still within my return window for Amazon so, I sent it back. Strictly speaking, I thought the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, this phone look like something special. In addition, I was able to purchase it for about $170 cheaper than the 10 Pro. In fact, I was able to purchase the 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price as the entry model; $699.99. apparently, it was on sale the day I purchased it.
I want to touch on a feature that the OnePlus 11 has that the Samsung Galaxy s 23 ultra can't touch. Specifically, I'm talking about virtual ram. While the 16GB version that I purchased is powerful, the ram can be extended to 12 GB more for a total of 28 GB via virtual ram. In the settings menu under about phone, if you tap on RAM it will give you the option to extend the ram either 4, 8 or 12 GB virtually. The extra ram is borrowed from the ROM and reassigned as RAM. That is speed that the Samsung just can't match. Combine that feature with features like dual SIM card ability and 80 watt fast charging and you have some truly unique functions that the Samsung just can't touch. A flagship phone like the Samsung will give you a variety of features but, a flagship killer will concentrate on power. Combine that with high-end build quality and sell it at a lower price and you will have an amazing value.
Glad to know. I like Samsung and google pixel phones but definitely have to admit oneplus has always had the good reputation of value and performance. I heard they don’t throttle like the Samsungs and pixels do too. Especially emulation .
@@robmalcolm8042 honestly, they went through a couple of years there where their phones got kind of expensive. I really feel they got weighed down in the minutiae of trying to build flagships like Samsung or Google. They really got back to being a flagship killer with the OnePlus 11. I received mine a few days ago and I absolutely love it.
You are quite correct, OnePlus phones don't throttle the way that Samsung's or Google pixels do. They're all about speed and performance. I daresay, you would be hard-pressed to find a phone that run smoother than a oneplus.
@@dr.fitprofessor1970 yes I know they had a few years where they fell off but I can see how the 11 is good and the s23 ultra definitely is smoother than the s22 but I still think oneplus as a android is very smooth and competitive. Google is good but it uses a custom exynos so even with stock android it’s going to get hot
@@robmalcolm8042 again, you are quite correct about the processor in the pixel. Frankly, exynos processors tend to run hot and bleed a lot of power unnecessarily. As far as OnePlus is concerned, I really feel that with the exception of the 10t that they developed a lot of good devices over the last few years. However, it really isn't what their fanbase wanted and it was certainly not at the price they were willing to pay. Although, I was kind of the exception to that rule. LOL.
Actually, I purchase a 10 Pro back in early January and I decided to return it and pre-order the 11. After using it the past few days, I am convinced that I made a good decision. Don't get me wrong, I feel the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, I just couldn't pass the 11 up. Especially, since I was able to order it about $170 cheaper than attend Pro. In fact, I was able to get it on sale for $699.99. Moreover, I purchase the 16GB of RAM with 256gb of storage variant for the same price as the entry model of 8 GB of RAM with 128gb of storage. I really couldn't pass up that deal.
@@dr.fitprofessor1970 I like that they offer a 16gb ram model that’s helpful for stuff like emulation and the longevity of the android OS. I hope t mobile can offer it eventually as they usually do but the issue is they tend to offer only the lower ram model
I'm on my 3d OnePlus (the 11 now) and I like them a lot. Had Iphones, tried a Google Pixel (hated it...) and OnePlus does everything I want, best screen going, easy to run OS, saves some $.
Which phone has better battery life? I have a galaxy s20+ and the battery life sucks. Tia
They changed the deal for S23 Ultra, now 650 for trading S22 ultra, still terrible deal.
Thanks for this amazing video. I thought 1+11 isn't that great compared to S23U and iPhone 14PM.
But watching this video, I'll upgrade my 1+9 to 1+11 🎉
Wireless charging has always been pointless to me
I think I used it twice. Regular fast charging is so much faster and convenient.
Wireless charging only makes sense if it is high-speed
The only thing I'm concerned about with 1+ is the software. Samsung has a very good software. Plus, I don't think they will keep their promise with 4 years of updates
stupid question: have you explored options to upgrade your microphone? I only mention this because I love your presentation and content, but your volume and sound quality are noticeably poor compared to your competitors. Sorry to post this publicly, I am not trying to be a jerk. I just thought I would ask, because you are spot on with your reviews and content, so maybe no one has ever asked this question? thanks for being patient.
I spent almost $300 on a shure microphone that I use. It sounds good to me when I listen to it. Some people have said it doesn’t sound great but I’ve watched on multiple different devices and it sounds fine. Not saying you’re wrong. It’s not the first time I’ve heard it. What are you watching on?
The ultra line of galaxy is honestly unnecessary for most. I'm happy with my s23+ it's definitely a jump from my s21+. I'm here just to see different options. Like the pixel phone is a nice option too
Love the comparison. I prefer Oneplus and rather get a bang for your buck deal with it. Oneplus has amazing phones. I use to own a oneplus phone and I can attest to the experience I had with it being phenomenal! Very excited to save up and hopefully get my hands on the Oneplus 11. Phone looks very promising and I am more willing to save more. 😎
One ui 5.1 is just something else now, the animations are smoother than the iPhone!! And better performance and battery, battery life is amazing, I never would have thought this from samsung, s23 is built different, also the new storage 4.0 plus sd8 gen2 made for samsung
Long time Samsung s series user here very disappointed with Samsung bad trading deals. I got my new OnePlus 11 delivered yesterday and so far I'm very pleased especially with the camera quality . Don't think I'm going back to Samsung
OnePlus 11 failed in bend test and in terms of lumins it's performance is not good not Bright display in terms of other competition
Same here. I love my OnePlus 11. Sending my S22 ultra back.
@@HARDYMANGAT then you better pony up more $
Same here. Had S4, S7, Note 9 (not to mention tablets, phones for wife, monitors, TVs). Ordered OnPlus. I don't want to pay for something called premium that comes without even necessary thing like charging brick, not to mention headphones and spare S-pen drawing parts.
Coming from an iPhone where I used MagSafe extensively and exclusively... am surprised how much happier with faster VOOC charging. I am loving OnePlus.
What camera you use to record this video it’s very crispy
Agree 💯 I bought the OnePlus 11 the day it was open for sales in the US
I've never cared or used the functions of being waterproof, dustproof nor the S Pen in my 4 years having galaxy
As a person who is on the move a LOT I do a lot of charging in my vehicle.
Here's the issue I had. The charging in the vehicle is wonky at best. Some times I'd get regular charge, 3+ hours to charge, sometimes I'd get faster charging 1-1.5 hrs, and occasionally I'd get the insane speeds charging. Overall, it was painful trying to get it to do a constant charge.
I could but get a bonified 1+ car charger because they were consistently out of stock. I tried a what was suoposed to be a 1+ car charger, but none of them gave me the high speed charge. I also used the 1+ usb cord, but still had issues.
Aside from the proprietary charging, i LOVE the phones.
Most don't even worry or think about the car charger part, they only worry about the wall charger.
What people don't understand is the OP does have water resistance, they just don't pay for the rating because if they did they would have to charge more. They pass the savings on to u.
Great review. Im pretty much decided on getting this 11 to replace my 1+6 that has been an amazing workhorse. Im on it from 7am most of the day watching videos and browsing interests on the original battery. Try that with a 5 1/2 year old constantly in serviced iPhone or Galaxy. Good luck. Hah! 😁
A fair assessment🤝🏾
It has ip64 water rating officially and not to mention it probably does have the same ip68 rating it's just that it costs more to have the certification.
who has better cameras: 1+ or s23(not ultra)?
It's funny how people complain about Samsung 45w charging as slow yet apple is slower😂😂😂
Not sure if this is just the Chinese domestic model, or if they did a mid-production upgrade, but on the Taobao shopping app, it’s showing 100W charging, and the phones go up to 512GB storage.
Excellent review! I had the S22 Ultra and decided to switch to the One Plus 11. I can tell you that I am enjoying my experience with this phone far more than the S22 Ultra. Same specs for the most part at nearly half the price. Call clarity is fantastic, the camera is better than what I expected, and the charging speed is fantastic. I was never one to really use wireless charging as it was far too slow for me. I do not regret one bit switching to One Plus and the review here just echoes what I am currently experiencing. Continue the great work and reviews!!!
If money wasn't an issue, which would you choose though?
@@Abercrombemonkey I am truly pleased with the Oneplus 11. Granted, the camera isn't as good as the S22 ultra or S23, but it is a true flagship phone in my humble opinion and the Camera is pretty darn good regardless. I would recommend the Oneplus 11 and have no regrets. I have been a Samsung user for years and was on that bandwagon for the lo gest time but this phone has really surprised me.
@@mikeuntalan604 What if I am getting S22U and OP11 for the same price?
@@aryankalra I am still enjoying my OP11 over the S22. Granted, you won't get the S pen but I found that I really don't miss it. The performance in the OP11 has been great, and the 80W super fast charge is great. Battery life is insane as well so I am very pleased thus far, much better IMO compared to S22, due to the new chipset. Regardless, I am very happy with OP11 and don't think I will be going back to Samsung any time soon.
@@mikeuntalan604 What about the camera difference is it pretty big, I plan on shooting videos on my phone. Also do you have S22 or S22U
I really feel this is the best overall deal on a flagship, especially for the US market. Also think it's in line with, if not maybe better than any foreign phone around the same price right now.
Is it just me or is the quality in your video really good
What camera you using?
I used a different camera for this video. It does look better
I just bought OnePlus 11 . I have been OnePlus user since it launched it's first phone and have always been amazed what it's phone is capable of doing at such a ridiculous price. I still feel it's one of the most underrated phone on the planet. It can smoke flagships of Samsung and Apple in many department to be honest
I'm considering it over the s23 ultra, my issue is I'm worried it'll have issues going forward. I'm currently using a OnePlus 7t pro, and while it was really fast at the beginning, almost a year later, and it's got battery issues and it's slowing down
@@superior_nobody07 I have been using OnePlus 11 and so far working smooth like a butter and outstanding battery life . Charging the phone I don't want to even talk about it it's that ridiculous. I can't say about Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra since I have never used the phone but OnePlus will surely give the best bang for your buck
I don't know for how long, but Oneplus 11 256GB storage 16GB RAM version is $699, same as the base version.
That’s a great deal
@@TechOdyssey yes, I jumped on it. Normally get Samsung, but trade-in values this year are abysmal.

Thank you.
How is the navigation system using Google GPS and Waze ?? I had oneplus 7T which had navigation issue and that made me never to look back at oneplus. If it's good I'm considering to get oneplus 11.
ON my 7pro I found out if you just disable all the camera AI stuff it actually took better pictures and video. I'm curious to see if it does the same for the OnePlus 11.
I'll have to check it out
The Oneplus 11 is $1400 NZ here in New Zealand. And only the 256 model offered so far. Around $1000 is about my limit, so I'll just have to dream a bit longer.
I rarely comment after watching review videos but I am now.
Well done. Fantastic review.
Honest, down to earth, easy to listen to!
Keep it up!
Much appreciated! Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I think the biggest scam in the industry is that manufacturers started giving us way less features for the same/if not more money. The SD card isn't there anymore so that they can upcharge us significantly for more storage. A Samsung micro SD card starts around $25 for 256GB but the upgrade from 256 to 512 for the S23 Ultra is $180. Sure, you get the extra RAM but RAM is cheap.
No IR blaster? I know Android TVs are becoming way more common, but c'mon, not everyone has one and it's so convenient to use your remote for different devices all from your phone.
I get it, Samsung puts just about the most robust feature set into their to model phone, but I'd also really appreciate if they didn't nerf the smaller Galaxy S models. I don't want, nor need the S Pen and hate the sharper corners and curved screen, but I have to take a dramatic drop off in specs for only $200 less in the S23+. No LTPO screen, no 200MP camera, no option for 12GB of RAM and a few other things I may be missing, but it's frustrating. There's only a $100 difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in the US and the difference in feature set is much smaller, basically screen size and battery size except for some very minor things.
Sorry for the rant, just frustrated with this stuff, and the fact that we've, for the most part, accepted less for our money over time.
@@AlexMkd1984 oh I won't. I just got my S23+ yesterday which I do like in lieu of everything I said, but just frustrated with the lack of features that used to be staples. I didn't say I wanted a dumbed down experience so I'll never daily an iPhone lol. Just the fact that the 2 pro models don't have many differences is what Samsung should go for between the Plus and Ultra models.
there actually is ltpo on the s23+ and s23, but just not down to 1hz, it goes down to atleast 24hz.
I thought phones were to make and receive calls?!
@@farasty7371no both the S23 and S23 plus don't have LTPO. both phones are using the Dynamic AMOLED X2.
@@Rican856 oh thx for the info!
Buying the oneplus makes more 11 sense. What i don't like about samsung is that it is overpriced for what it offers.
What would you recommend if the price of s23 ultra is $65 (converted) difference only compared to oneplus 11?
Dealbreakers for the OP 11 are:
no IP rating
no wireless charge
USB C port is 2.0 instead of 3.0 (mind blowing that a new 2023 phone has such an old technology and port. This is unacceptable if transferring files from PC is something important for you.)
My oneplus 8 pro from 2019 has all three of these features (ip68, wireless charge, USB 3.1) so there is no way I would spend so much on a new phone to have worse features than what I got on my phone from 3 years ago. Oh, and my oneplus 8 pro also charges up to 100 in around half an hour.
Basically if these features don't matter to you, then sure go for the OP 11, but saying the phones are in the same league is simply not true. Also, it remains to be seen how well the OP 11 stands up to Jerryrigeverything's durability test. The 10 and 10T performed horribly and were so poorly designed that they snapped in half.
Great video! Since the disappointing S21 line up I've slowly started to drift away from Samsung. The ONLY premium flagship they make is the Ultra and its too big and expensive and I don't use any of the extra features the Ultra line offers. I'm NOT going to use a phone with a 1080p screen! That's an old resolution that even Samung removed since the S6 with their 1440p displays. Why did they go backward!!!
No 4K@60 video recorder on Selfie Cam. Shame
Yup. It’s definitely a letdown
Are you reviewing the global version of One Plus 11or the Chinese?
Global
@@TechOdyssey Should buy it without thinking twice? What your advice would be?
I'm curious the difference in cell signal between them. My wife and I both have Verizon. I have the S21 Ultra and she has the OnePlus 6. When ever we are on vacation in the middle of nowhere, her phone destroys mine in cell signal strength. I'll have no signal with an X showing and she still has 2 bars and 4g internet.
Does the 1plus have some water resistant I work outside and I'm sometimes out in the rain. I'm thinking between this or the pixel pro.
It has water resistance but basically just splash resistant. IP64
It's IP64 but those ratings are largely only for peace of mind. I have a 10T which is only IP54, but I keep it in my pocket while i run so its regularly getting hit with rain and sweat. No issues. Besides, no phone company will cover water damage for manufacturer warranty in 99% of cases. Water resistance is not waterproof. Samsung and Google/Fitbit wont cover their "swimproof" smartwatches either.
OnePlus phones are so solid all round. They really show up the big boys when it comes to bang for your buck.
Yup. True story
IP64 is dunk proof. Splash does not mean light mist. Most of us aren't going to get our phone more wet than a quick dunk.
Seems like OnePlus is going back to its roots as a flagship buster instead of trying to keep up with them.
I bought this phone yesterday. But i am having a problem with the vibration intensity. Even reducing the vibration intensity doesn't reduce it. anyone facing the same problem? and any solution? Would be much appreciated. Thank you
How about Motorola edge plus 2023 not sure yet which one I'd get
Does operating system have performance difference on both phones? Oxygen to whatever Samsung uses. I’m coming from 15 years of iPhone. Just want the fastest operating phone. Can care less for camera/video
All you are saying is one plus is S23 ultra minus dex & wireless charging?
In the pixel camp, is there dex ?
Also, Can you compare pixel 7 pro with s23 ultra?
Man, iphones never had dex setup, no wonder I never got interested.
I heard the system storage is quite high on the S23 ultra and it takes quite a bit of storage out of what they give you. Is that true.
Mine takes 55.92 gb for the system out of 512gb
It is not true, my 1tb sd card only is allowed about 930gb instead of 1tb
@@chris201 because it's showing apps installed as well. You have to change permissions in settings to allow app storage
Thank you for pointing out the price difference. It helped me make my decision. I don't need wireless charging, I don't need the latest updates or the best camera. Just need the strongest performance 😊
Hi Adam. Where can I find that OP11 case?
What about the build quality and durability? I know firsthand about samsungs flagship, they last for years, battery does not wear out etc. What about oneplus?
I love my OP 7 pro. But I use it for playing movies outside on my projector. Through HDMI. So I'm sad to see they removed video out.
Great review. does op11 support dual sim dual active DSDA feature? can u please confirm it. cuz S23 doesn't have it.
Yes, just got mine, duel sim
@@zhuyao1991 i mean can u call using sim 1 and use the internet on sim 2 simultaneously ? or it will disconnect?
16 gb version at same price right now $699 on one Plus. Thinking to trade my s22 ultra.
"there are pros and cons to both but here's the morale of the story you win with either of them"
Yup
Does the oppo also have the security updates and android os updates?

Hello there!
Greetings from Canada to Poland! My gf is Polish and she is awesome ☺️
@@lestat8656 Nice to hear it 😀
S23 Ultra is the best phone I have ever owned and I am a Samsung knight since S9+
Nice! It's a great phone.
YEAH, waterproof that why my note 20 fell into the water and now i'm researching and bought one plus 11, never like wireless charging , it's waste of energy, the heat it generated is obscure, inefficient and not for me at all., FYI my note 20 5g ultra had to repair for water damage once prior to this just by water splashing on the boat, and once for screen replacement, and 3rd time , it died after update... surprise, it still works and everything except i wont get receptions . Hence i researched Pixel 7 pro, & s23 ultra vs samsung flip 5 and this phone, this one win in every aspect.
what do you think of the redmagic 8 pro?
Past 2 years I've been using s21plus and 22plus. But exynos suck.
I was looking forward for snapdragon in my region. But it's over priced even for the plus variant, so I'm settling down with oneplus this year.
How's heat dissipation on the one plus 11
Sry but im all about the display and I cant pass up samsungs displays. The color the brightness the resolution just everything. Plus I like samsungs ui way more. Idc if the price is more for me its worth it. Just getting what you want and like most makes it worth it to me. I was pretty dissapointed in the back step that one plus took in color and display overall. They wrre able to compete with samsungs display just a few years ago. This time you can see where they cut corners to cut cost. They hsve a great processor so if the screen isnt an issue for it then go for jt. But i remember when one plus had almost more color and brightness then samsung did and for less while still performing equally as good. Thats when i was like ok this thing is amazing. But after seeing the display in person side by side the samsung I was like damnit. Because it was an option for me until I saw that. But its about what matters to you most so go with what you like.
I have both. If someone where to hand me a OnePlus 11 and said i could only use this phone, id be pretty happy. The op11 is a really sold phone. There are even some software ui elemets i like better on the op11. The charging is incredible.
That being said using both and comparing them you start to see the differences. The s23U just has a bigger and better screen, better cameras, the spen and wireless charging which fits my use case the best.
But OnePlus 11 have the water resistance capabilityn, doesnt it ?
Hey, thanks for the video. Not sure about the comparison wouldn’t a better comparison be the regular S 23 or the S 23+… I had to 1+7 pro so I really like Oneplus or I did I just wonder about their software and about their commitment to four years and five years of security. I’m gonna have to wait a year and see what happens with their updates and security patches and then maybe at one +12 but they’ve been cut a chunk and out the last year or so so
A few weeks ago, a dozen of large eggs was $3.69 here, now it’s $2.99, so they are starting to come down!
Nice. Still almost $5 here for me, sadly. And my kids go through about 3 dozen a week.
Dude.... The standard speakers on this phone are beastly
ask yourself people in the grand scheme of things do you need all these features in a phone do you really need the latest and greatest which in reality ain't groundbreaking
i see what you're saying for sure, unless you got the fi deal for the s23u for $650 @512gb with no trade in otd
Let's not compare to ultra instead s23 plus . No.ip rating, 2x telephoto with no OIS ,no wireless charger, less software support, less accessories availability no 4k front video. There is no competition with ultra here .
we get 4 years Android updates and 5 yrs sec updates in op11.
OnePlus 11 has old e4 display vs the latest e6 display. E6 consumes way less energy
Received my OP11 last night and was super excited. Mind you that 've been using Oneplus since the the very first one! To my utter disappointment the OS keep on freezing and the screen kept going black. Spent an hour and kept on rebooting to no avail. I wanted to love this specially since I am supposed to get $200 credit for my 5T but ... I already purchased a S23 Ultra which I am supposed to pick up today. I guess this is the end of Oneplus run after 9 years.
I mean, you could have just received a faulty unit as I've not seen a single person report this type of issue nor have I had any issues with mine. Hopefully you enjoy your S23 Ultra though! Cheers!
I love my OnePlus 11 so far
Me too. It’s a great phone.
Oneplus 11 is locked at 60hz on most apps its not worth it really ive never seen so many people asking for a fix and oneplus just doesnt care
Unfortunately, over the past several years Oneplus has proven to have absolutely horrible track record when it comes to updates, fixing bugs etc.
I bought OP 9 Pro and I have the infamous "media storage" bug, where the media files take 2x space they should, because with every new media file like a photo/video the size of the MediaStorage system app also grows. It's currently taking 100gb out of 256 and Oneplus hasn't fixed it for the past 2 years and multiple system/Android updates.
OnePlus 11 has dual SIM!
I’ve used OP for 7 years and S22U for almost a year. I’m a fan of both but I changed brand when OP dropped the dual SIM. S22U has the eSIM disaster that we’ve already seen. My OP7 has my other SIM.
Here in the Philippines, we also have dual sim.
