The Cloud 11 launch event in New Delhi announced this year’s first major flagship phone and OnePlus’s first-ever tablet device. Along with that, it introduced the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, the OnePlus keyboard 81 Pro, and the OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro. 

Let’s break down the event and check some of the major highlights.

OnePlus 11 – The Latest Premium Flagship Smartphone

The OnePlus 11 launched in China almost a month ago and we had a fair idea about the smartphone’s initial impressions. 

User reviews from the Chinese market suggested high satisfaction and praise for the latest OnePlus. In comparison, the OnePlus 10 Pro received mixed reviews in the initial stage. 

Once the general market gets its hands on the OnePlus 11, we’ll get an idea of the overall experience by the users to see if it lives up to the hype. 

For now, here’s a detailed report of the OnePlus 11:

OnePlus 11 Features & Specifications

The OnePlus 11 gets the flagship treatment with some of the best and latest hardware and software. It is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and Android 13-based OxygenOS 13. It supports 5G connectivity and has the standard 16GB RAM and 256GB storage memory setup. 

The OnePlus 11 has an AMOLED screen with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate that supports Dolby Vision. To further help the entertainment experience, it also features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. 

The 3rd Gen Hasselblad has a 50MP + 48MP + 32MP camera setup. A 50MP primary wide-angle lens with OIS, a 48MP ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 32MP telephoto lens with support for 2x optical zoom. 

It also supports 100W of fast charging and has a 5,000 mAh battery for amazing battery life. 

Special Things about the OnePlus 11

The OnePlus 11 regains the highly requested Alert slider missing in the OnePlus 10 line-up. It also becomes one of the first smartphones to introduce Wifi 7 which can increase the download speeds up to 4x. 

OnePlus 11 Price & Availability 

The OnePlus 11 will cost $699 for the 8GB/128GB variant, and £799 for the 16GB/256GB model. It will be available in stores and online on February 16th.

Even though OnePlus has dropped the ‘Pro’ from the name, the OnePlus 11 features some amazing upgrades. It will go up against the Google Pixel 7 Pro and a lot of other competitors and you would soon see a massive amount of comparisons. 

Introducing the First-Ever OnePlus Pad

On the official OnePlus page for the Cloud 11 event, we only saw a brief look at the OnePlus Pad. Accompanied by the tagline “Smooth Without Equal”, the tablet had a standard design sporting the same green color as the 11. 

A special keyboard and pen for the OnePlus Pad act as optional accessories. This suggests significant support and effort by the company to make this new addition a success. 

Will it challenge the Samsung Tablets and the iPad line-up? Here’s what the OnePlus Pad offers:

OnePlus Tab Features & Specifications

The OnePlus Pad will feature an 11.61-inch display with 2800×2000 pixels, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 500 nits display. The tablet has a 7:5 screen ratio which OnePlus is calling ReadFit. 

In the power department, the OnePlus Pad has the Mediatek Dimensity 9000 SoC chipset. It will also have 12GB RAM for smooth multitasking of up to 26 apps open in the background. 

The OnePlus Pad has a 9510 mAH battery that supports 67W SUPERVOOC charging. 

The first-ever tablet by OnePlus accompanies the OnePlus Stylo stylus pen and a detachable folio with a keyboard and built-in trackpad.

OnePlus Tab Price & Availability

As of now, OnePlus hasn’t mentioned anything about the price. All we know is that it will launch in April.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 & Other Major Highlights of the Cloud 11 Event

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2

Priced at $179, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 brings a significant upgrade to the original OnePlus Buds Pro. It will be available in green, white, and black colors. It will have a 39-hour battery life with 9 hours of listening for buds only. The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can also be charged wirelessly. 

Made by the Danish loudspeaker maker Dynaudio, the Buds Pro 2 has world-renowned composer Hans Zimmer as the collaborator. 

Along with the MelodyBoostTM Dual Driver System and Cinematic Spatial Audio as the highlighting features, The Buds Pro also has 2.5x better ANC performance than the original Buds Pro. It will come with dual drivers with a 6mm tweeter and an 11mm woofer.

Other Launches from OnePlus

OnePlus launched the OnePlus keyboard 81 Pro, which will be a mechanical keyboard with USB type C connectivity. It will have an alert slider, a rotary dial, and swappable linear and tactile switches with a bouncy feel. There are no details about the price but it will be launched in April along with the OnePlus Pad. 

Apart from that, OnePlus also announced the OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro. Unfortunately, it is only for the Indian market and there is no hint of when or if it becomes global at all. 

Our Thoughts

Of all devices announced, we’re mostly excited about the OnePlus Pad which could be a game-changer in the tablet segment. 

If it’s any good, we can have a market-breaker that may eat up Apple and Samsung’s market share. Then there’s also the Google Pixel Tab that is on the horizon. 

If you are as excited as us and want to keep up with the fast-paced tech world, stay tuned!
