Two 11 series flagships made their debut in just a month: the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11. And they are actually sold in the same price range. They are flagship phones, but not premium ones: more like flagship killers. However, they still come with several premium specifications, including very advanced displays and cameras. Given that their prices do not differ so much, a lot of people are wondering which of these phones is the best. That is exactly the reason why we are coming to help. Here you can find a comparison between the main specifications of the OnePlus 11 and the iQOO 11. Note that the iQOO 11 also comes in a Pro variant, while the OP 11 does not. However, the Pro variant is much better than both as it is a top-tier flagship phone, so we won’t include it in this comparison.

Design

Which design should you prefer? It is mostly a matter of taste. Personally, I would go for the OnePlus 11 because its design is more original. It comes with a circular camera module, unlike a lot of phones out there equipped with a square-shaped camera module. Further, it is slightly more compact than its rival and it has a premium glass back. On the other hand, you should note that the iQOO 11 comes in a special color variant dedicated to BMW M Motorsport: it is very suggestive with its vertical stripe reminiscent of a sports car. So if you love cars, then you may prefer this phone to the OnePlus flagship.

Display

The display found on the iQOO 11 is actually better than the one found on the OnePlus 11. It is an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate (it is an adaptive refresh rate thanks to the LTPO 4.0 technology), HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The OnePlus 11 has an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. You can clearly see from the specifications which one is the best.

Specs & Software

With these two phones, you can actually get the same hardware department. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The chipset is composed of a Cortex X3 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, two Cortex A715 cores, two Cortex A710 cores, three Cortex A510 cores, and an Adreno 740 GPU. Alongside the SoC, there are up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 native storage. The iQOO 11 comes in more configurations (including one with UFS 3.1 native storage), but the highest-end configuration is the same. These devices run Android 13 out of the box with highly customized user interfaces on top: OxygenOS and Funtouch OS / OriginOS, respectively.

Camera

The most advanced camera belongs to the OnePlus 11. It has a triple rear camera composed of a 50 MP Sony IMX890 main sensor with OIS, a 32 MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide lens, all with the Hasselblad optimizations inside. With the iQOO 11, you can still get a 50 MP main camera with OIS, but the secondary sensors are inferior: there is a 13 MP telephoto lens and an 8 MP ultrawide sensor.

Battery

The battery capacities of these two phones are the same and they are supposed to offer a similar battery life. But the iQOO 11 is able to charge quicker because it supports 120W fast charging instead of just 100W.

Price

The iQOO 11 starts from about $558/€520, while the OnePlus 11 begins at $659/€614. Which one would you pick?
