OnePlus stunned many people in 2022 by not releasing a normal model of the OnePlus 10, however as a substitute going straight to the OnePlus 10 Professional.

Rumours nonetheless persist that the non-Professional mannequin might emerge – maybe alongside a brand new Extremely mannequin – however as we look ahead to what the OnePlus 11 will maintain it’s unclear which fashions will launch. Right here’s all we all know up to now concerning the OnePlus 11.

When will the OnePlus 11 be launched?

There’s been no phrase from OnePlus about when the 11 or 11 Professional will arrive. Whereas we’d normally simply look to the earlier launch patterns to offer us a sign of when the brand new mannequin will arrive, that is confused by studies that the usual OnePlus 10 should still seem, although the 10 Professional has been out since January in China and globally from March.

The bizarre factor is that OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau informed TechRadar that there aren’t any plans for different telephones within the 10 sequence, however then in April @OnLeaks posted on Twitter that there can be a normal 10 and in addition, in collaboration with Indian tech website Digit, outlined the specs. He’s normally fairly correct along with his leaks, so this does hurl an enormous tabby amongst these pigeons. 

So… At the moment, I can verify that the vanilla #OnePlus10 is certainly coming and guess what… I’ve its full specs sheet to share with you…? #FutureSquad

So, with Digit reporting that the OnePlus 10 might truly arrive in August 2022, maybe alongside or forward of a OnePlus 10 Extremely, it might appear possible then that OnePlus would wait the traditional calendar 12 months earlier than introducing its successor. Except, after all, the rumoured OnePlus 10 is the truth is the OnePlus 11. Confused but?

If we have a look at the earlier international launch schedules for the OnePlus flagships, it really works out like this:

OnePlus 10 Professional – March 2022
OnePlus 9 & 9 Professional – March 2021
OnePlus 8T – October 2020
OnePlus 8 & Eight Professional – April 2020

As you would possibly discover there have been just a few variations from the usual patterns. First, there was no 9T mannequin. The T-series normally launched about 6 months after the usual (i.e. Eight then 8T), however that didn’t occur in 2021. Then there was no OnePlus 10 (not less than not but), that means the hole between flagship releases was one 12 months.

So, if OnePlus holds to this new schedule, it might be March 2023 after we see the OnePlus 11 Professional. However, if the OnePlus 10 does flip up in August, then the OnePlus 11 might nicely arrive in August 2023, whereas the 11 Professional might nonetheless launch in March. 

How a lot will the OnePlus 11 value?

As there’s no affirmation from OnePlus but about pricing, we’ll use the earlier fashions to place us within the image. Right here’s the pricing of the previous couple of flagships:

OnePlus 10 Professional – £799/$899/€899
OnePlus 9 – $729/£629/€699
OnePlus 9 Professional – £829/$999/€899/
OnePlus 8T – £549/$649/€649

If OnePlus solely goes with a Professional mannequin for the 11-series, then it would in all probability be near the worth of the present 10 Professional, in any other case we’ll hope to see one thing a bit cheaper, alongside the traces of the OnePlus 9. This may not fairly work out this merely although, because the world-wide chip scarcity, plus the disruptions to manufacturing and distribution brought on by Covid and the Ukrainian invasion by Russia are all starting to drive up costs.

What options and specs will we see within the OnePlus 11?

If the report by @OnLeaks proves to be correct about specs however seems to be for the next-gen telephone, then the OnePlus 11 might nicely include the next {hardware}:

6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED LTPO show with 120Hz refresh fee
Snapdragon Eight Gen1+ or MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC
8GB/12GB RAM
128GB/256GB Storage 
50Mp Huge digicam
16Mp Extremely Huge digicam
2Mp Macro digicam
32Mp selfie digicam
4,800mAh battery with 150W Quick Charging
Android 12
Oxygen OS 12

In different studies we’ve additionally seen mentions of a magnetic rotating digicam for the OnePlus 11 Professional. Let’s Go Digital obtained schematics from a patent utility made by OnePlus that reveals the function. 

This innovation appears to allow customers to have the ability to create new angles for photographs, alter the digicam for tough conditions the place the photographer must contort themselves into bizarre positions to seize the picture, whereas additionally appearing as a type of stabilisation for video footage. 

Working with designer Technizo Ideas, the positioning created a number of ideas to indicate how the completed system might end up. 

Whether or not OnePlus surprises everybody once more and sneaks out the usual 10 this 12 months or holds again for one more only-Professional 2023, we’re wanting ahead to what the subsequent era might carry. Till then, you may peruse our roundups of one of the best smartphones and finest OnePlus smartphones to see what you should buy right this moment.
