It has been three months since the release of the OnePlus 11R, the latest addition to OnePlus’ “R” series of smartphones. Launched alongside the OnePlus 11, this device boasts the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Priced just below Rs. 40,000, the phone aims to deliver impressive performance with minimal compromises. After using the device for an extended period, here is my comprehensive review.
Visually, the OnePlus 11R closely resembles its more premium counterpart, the OnePlus 11. In fact, at first glance, it’s hard to tell them apart. The most noticeable difference lies in the absence of the Hasselblad branding, though it doesn’t significantly impact the overall design.
Similar to the OnePlus 11, the 11R features a circular rear camera bump that seamlessly blends into the side rails. The glass back boasts a smooth and glossy finish, achieved through Laser Direct Image technology commonly found in smartphones from OPPO, Vivo, and Realme. It effectively conceals fingerprints, but unfortunately, the glossy metallic side rails serve as a magnet for smudges. Nonetheless, the weight distribution of the device is well-balanced.
