OnePlus is scheduled to host the Cloud 11 event in New Delhi, India, on February 7 for the global launch of the OnePlus 11 phone, but the event will not be limited to its 2023 flagship phone, as the event is expected to witness many of the company’s new products, including the OnePlus 11R phone.
The OnePlus 11R phone will be the cheapest, but in return there will be noticeable differences in the internal specifications and some key features between it and the OnePlus 11 phone.
In terms of design, it is clear that it will come with a familiar design – the same design as the OnePlus 11 phone – at least that is what the leaked images suggest.
The famous news leaker, Ice Universe, published an image of the OnePlus ACE 2 phone exclusive to the Chinese market, which is expected to be launched in the global market as the OnePlus 11R.
We believe this is what will happen given that the OnePlus ACE phone came last year as the OnePlus 10R in the international market. What proves the validity of this information is that the design of the OnePlus 11R phone is similar to the same design of the OnePlus 11 phone, but there are some noticeable differences that can be seen through the leaked image.
First of all, there is no Hasselblad company logo on the rear camera island, which means that the Chinese company did not use the leading Swedish company for optical technologies in order to adjust the lenses and colors of the camera, as happened with the OnePlus 11 phone.
In addition, it is clear that the OnePlus 11R will not have a telephoto lens. Moreover, the back side does not have the same glossy finish as the OnePlus 11.
All these changes are not surprising to us given that the company wants to sell the OnePlus 11R at a cheaper price than the OnePlus 11.
In terms of technical specifications, it is said that the upcoming phone will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC processor instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor that the OnePlus 11 came with.
In fact, the performance difference between both processors is very slight and cannot be noticed in real-world uses, but the newer processor is still better in power consumption and temperatures.
For the screen, it is certain that the phone comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with FHD + resolution at a refresh rate of 120Hz, but we are not sure whether the phone screen will support dynamic refresh rates like the flagship phone or not.
With regard to photography capabilities, the phone will be equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera supported by OIS optical stabilization technology, accompanied by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a third 2-megapixel depth-sensing lens, or the third lens can be a macro lens.
The phone will feature a 16-megapixel front camera, and it will be shipped with the Oxygen OS 13 interface based on the Android 13 system, and it will draw its energy from a 5000 mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging.
