The OnePlus 11R has received significant discounts and is now selling at only ₹ 27,999, down from its initial launch price of ₹ 39,999 for the 8GB/128GB model in February 2023. With many quality phones available for under ₹ 30,000, let’s explore what makes this offer stand out as the best deal among them.
How is the display of OnePlus 11R?
The phone comes with a Fluid AMOLED display that refreshes at 120Hz. The display produces excellent colors and is quite bright, with the highest brightness reaching 1450 nits during HDR playback and in direct sunlight.
Among all other phones in this price range, such as the Samsung Galaxy A35, Redmi Note 13 Pro+, and Nothing Phone 2a, this one boasts the best display.
OnePlus 11R supports HDR streaming on both Netflix and Amazon while Nothing Phone 2a doesn’t and you really enjoy the content with its 10bit color support.
How is the build quality of OnePlus 11R?
The OnePlus 11R is essentially a toned-down version of the OnePlus 11. The only major cost-cutting measure compared to the OnePlus 11 is the frame. While the frame of the OnePlus 11 is made from aluminum, the OnePlus 11R’s frame is made of plastic.
Other then than both the phones are sandwiched between Gorilla Glasses of slightly varying quality.
The phone feels very solid in hand with excellent haptics. The haptics are much better than the phones in this price range, it’s not at the flagship level though but decent.
How is the processor and user experience of the OnePlus 11R?
The phone runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. This processor is 2 years old but still is one of the best. Nothing can come close to the performance of this processor at this price point. You can play Genshin Impact at 60Hz without putting any stress on the GPU of this processor.
With a good processor, you can expect to use this phone for at least 3-4 years. This aligns with OnePlus’s software update promise. OnePlus will provide software updates until 2025 and security updates until 2026. While Samsung phones may offer better software updates, the processor in this OnePlus device will compensate for that.
How is the battery life of OnePlus 11R?
The phone comes with an industry standard 5000 mAh battery and supports 100W SUPERVOOC fast charging. According to GSMARENA the phone charges from 1% to 100% in 26 minutes.
The phone easily lasts a full day, and you can always get it topped up quickly.
How is the camera of the OnePlus 11R?
The primary camera takes great pictures. Images have natural and accurate color reproduction and white-balance, details are about as good as you can expect from 12MP resolution, there is no aggressive sharpening or haloing, no visible aliasing around powerlines, and noise in the shadows is well under control. The low light performance is nice too. The photos have good color and low noise because of the Night mode feature.
While the color accuracy doesn’t quite match up to its higher-end counterpart with the Hasselblad-branded camera, it still performs decently.
On the flip side, the secondary cameras fall short, serving more as decorative features than functional cameras. However, considering the overall package, the camera setup offers great value for its price. It was impressive at ₹ 39,999 and becomes even more compelling at ₹ 27,999.
