Last week’s poll shows that people are intrigued by the OnePlus 11, but it will have to prove itself: nearly 40% of those who voted in the poll say they will wait for in-depth reviews of the new flagship before deciding whether to buy one.
OnePlus is trying something different with this generation, they dropped the price, but that also required cutting back on some features. It looks more like the OnePlus of previous years.
Going to a 2x telephoto, losing the IP68 rating, USB 3, wireless charging, and a few other cutbacks don’t sit well with a large enough portion of voters. However, instead of leaning towards the older (and in some ways more capable) OnePlus 10 Pro and 9 Pro, most of them look to other brands.
Few people have expressed interest in a smaller OnePlus flagship. Not that the company is known for its small flagships, but at least the non-Pro models were a bit smaller. It seems that OnePlus has made the right choice by switching to a single flagship offer.
Of course, we have yet to see prices outside of China. OnePlus’ strategy is to downsize other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagships, but other brands will offer pre-order discounts and benefits and so on.
OnePlus 11 and Buds Pro 2 will go global on February 7th. But at least for China, the OnePlus 11 has broken presale records, so this is shaping up to be a successful launch.
