Fast and reliable performance with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
Good camera performance
Good battery backup
Cons
Slightly slippery design
Low light camera performance could have been better
OnePlus has been evolving its smartphone game and has introduced some of the best-in-class value flagships until now. This year the brand has released the OnePlus 11 series comprising the vanilla OnePlus 11 5G and the OnePlus 11R. Both models are catering to premium users, however, the latter is a more affordable option for the masses.
With the OnePlus 11 5G, the company has brought in some new innovations and also revived what was missing from the previous-gen model; the iconic OnePlus alert slider. This year too OnePlus is all aggressive with the pricing and is set to grab a major chunk of the premium user segment.
Features like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with ray tracing, a QHD+ AMOLED display, and 100W fast charging starting at Rs. 56,999 makes the game strong for the OnePlus 11 5G. But does this mean it wins the competition and stands out of the league? We got to use the latest OnePlus flagship and here’s what we think:
The OnePlus 11 5G bears resemblance to the last year’s OnePlus 10T, but the design overhaul is evident with the camera module and the curved panel. The camera island this time is circular instead of the squarish module that the previous-gen model featured. The camera module on the OnePlus 11 5G also has the same steel material blending into the aluminum frame.
The return of the iconic OnePlus alert slider is a relief for all OnePlus fans. Only the power key is positioned on the right spine alongside the alert slider. The volume rockers are on the left panel, while the USB Type-C port is sandwiched between the SIM tray and the speaker grille at the bottom. The top and the bottom frames are flat, while the side panels are slightly rounded complementing the curved display design.
The overall look and feel of the OnePlus 11 5G is all premium and there is no compromise with the usage comfort. The curved edges and slim form factor improves the grip with single-hand usage. Even with the case, the device doesn’t feel bulky which is impressive.
You would find it easy to operate this phone with a single hand with different tasks. Of course, for extensive gaming, you will need both hands on deck. The Corning Gorilla Glass protection both upfront and the rear adds to the durability. a But overall, the OnePlus offers a fair usage experience.
OnePlus 11 5G Display Performance: Bright And Vivid
The OnePlus 11 5G bestows a massive 6.7-inch screen which offers impressive specifications. The visual experience is all enhanced with this new OnePlus phone. The panel type used Fluid AMOLED with LTPO technology. The display on the OnePlus 11 5G supports 1440 x 3216 pixels QHD+ resolution and the pixel density is 525 ppi.
This phone is capable of auto-switching between FHD+ and QHD+ resolution. There is a dedicated setting for this which when enabled changes the resolution type depending on the app. There is a dynamic refresh rate of 1- 120Hz, sRGB, Dolby Vision HDR, and 10-bit color depth. Let’s now move to the display performance.
The color production and panel clarity is super refined and we have had the best experience with video playback and gaming. With 1300 nits peak brightness level, the OnePlus 11 5G’s visibility is least hampered outdoors under direct/harsh sunlight. The high QHD+ resolution and the 120Hz refresh rate makes the game strong for OnePlus 11 5G in the display segment.
As mentioned earlier, the panel brings out vivid output which is suitable for both video consumption and gaming. You can expect no frame drops or lags while gaming with the settings tuned to the highest. Color production is crisp and the visual clarity is also top-notch. The blacks are deeper and the screen does justice to the dark scenes in any movie or TV show. The display on the OnePlus 11 5G also has an in-display fingerprint scanner integrated that enhances security. The scanner is quick and efficient with device unlocking.
Personally, I find the panel apt for binge-watching shows and movies via OTT apps including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Videos, and others. Also, the touch response is fluid, hence the feedback with scrolling and gaming is also unbeatable with this phone. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the display game is improved with the OnePlus 11 5G.
Camera hardware on the OnePlus 11 5G is also evolved. There is a 50MP Sony IMX890 6P main lens with an f/1.8 aperture, OIS, and EIS support. It is combined with a 48MP secondary Sony IMX581 ultra-wide lens with an f/2.2 aperture and 115-degree FoV and a 32MP Sony IMX709 telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom.
Speaking of the camera modes, the OnePlus 11 5G is loaded with Night, Portrait, Movie, Panorama, Slow-motion, Time-Lapse, Xpan, Auto macro, Long-Exposure, AI scene enhancement, and more. The camera also comes with 10but Color and High-Efficiency image support.
If we talk of video recording capabilities, the OnePlus 11 5G’s rear camera can record 8K@34 fps, 4K@30/60 fps, 1080p@30/60 fps, and 720p@30/60 fps videos. The slow-motion video recording support is up to 1080p@240fps, while the time-lapse video recording supported is 4K@30fps.
This model’s camera features the Hasselblad branding as the previous-gen model. OnePlus touted the imaging prowess of the OnePlus 11 5G during the launch and we were eager to test its capabilities with different scenarios and backgrounds.
That said, the quality of the shots captured by the OnePlus 11 5G is good. Image clarity is not compromised when the background is well-lit. No noise or grains are noticeable with the daylight shots. Color saturation is balanced, nothing is overtly saturated. Enabling the AI scene enhancement does the trick to improve the quality with each click. Details are enhanced with general and close up shots. The Auto
You can also toggle on the Hi-res and Auto HDR modes to capture images with the highest clarity levels. However, you will only be able to capture images in 1x and 0.6 ultra-wide frames with the Hi-res mode on. With this, you can easily crop out unwanted scenes or objects in the background without deteriorating the image quality.
Portrait shots are good and they live up to the expectation. We are sharing some camera samples where you can check the photography quality. As for night photography, the built-in Night mode captures all the details with low-lit backgrounds. However, a bluish tint is visible if the background is completely dark. Use the apt settings and you will hardly see any noise or grains in the background. Below are the night camera sample of the OnePlus 11 5G.
For selfie fans, OnePlus has added a 16MP front camera with an f/2.45 aperture and EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) support. The selfie snapper does a decent job of capturing self-portraits. The output is optimum for social media uploads.
OnePlus has established itself as a flagship killer ever since its debut in the smartphone industry. With the OnePlus 11 5G, the company has definitely set new standards. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile chipset under the hood makes it a performance beast. The latest flagship Qualcomm chipset has Adreno 740 GPU support for graphics. Onboard storage capacity options include 128GB UFS 3.1 and 256GB UFS 4.0 paired with 8GB and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM respectively.
We have received the 16GB+ 256GB variant and have experienced a lag-free performance no matter how extensive a task is thrown at it. OnePlus is one of those few Android flagships that supports hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing. However, there is no mobile game available at this point that supports or is compatible with this feature. But this doesn’t count for any limitations.
Rather, the handset is future-ready with this advanced technology. Besides, OnePlus is already providing up to four year of promised firmware updates to all of its newly launched phones and the OnePlus 11 5G isn’t different. It has the Android 12-based OxygenOS 13.0 UI pre-installed and with the added support, it will be a perfect flagship for at least the next five years. OnePlus has made several improvements to the UI and tried to add a stock Android UI appeal. Less bloatware and pre-installed third-party apps are a respite this time.
The performance delivery is stable and reliable with the top-of-the-line SD 8 Gen 2 chipset. Faster speeds and efficiency are further achieved with the high RAM and storage capacity. The multitasking experience is super smooth with the top-end variant. The same can be expected with the base model too. App loading is instant even if there are several of them are already running in the background. It’s definitely the fastest OnePlus handset released till date. We also performed a couple of benchmark tests including Geekbench 6 where the scorecard is good.
Gaming feedback is also top-notch. The improved haptic feedback complements the lag-free gameplay sessions. You will be able to play demanding games like Asphalt 9 Legend, COD, and others at the highest settings without any frame drops. There is no warm-up of temperature instability issues when you use the OnePlus 11 5G extensively or during gaming. This further improves the overall user experience. To summarize, the OnePlus 11 5G is a no compromise in terms of speed and reliability.
The OnePlus 11 5G has been packed with a 5,000 mAh battery unit. This is a 2,500 mAh dual-cell setup that supports 100W SuperVOOC flash charging. Now, this is a downgrade compared to the OnePlus 10T which offers 160W fast charging.
However, the 100W charging support doesn’t disappoint either. The handset can still get a complete refuel (zero to 100 percent) within 30 minutes. The battery drainage rate is not high unless you are using this handset extensively. Otherwise, expect over eight hours of backup with a single charge.
OnePlus has upgraded its game with the launch of the OnePlus 11 5G and is also returning to the roots of bringing in the best-in-class value flagships. This new-generation OnePlus phone is future-ready and has some of the most advanced features that any phone in this segment offers.
To recap, the OnePlus 11 5G with 8GB RAM is priced at Rs. 56,999, while the top-end model with 16GB RAM is priced at Rs. 60,999. If you are looking for phone that is no compromise in terms of speeds and performance, the OnePlus 11 5G is definitely worth considering. For photography and gaming enthusiasts too, the OnePlus 11 5G is a complete package. This handset is definitely a hit in our opinion.

The electric scooter market is rapidly expanding in India and multiple new options have been released for audiences demanding electric scooters. Ola, Ather, Hero, and several other brands have launched a wide range of feature-loaded electric scooters for Indian consumers. Gradually, all these brands have started targeting the budget segment bringing in options lower than Rs. 1 lakh price tag. After Ola, Ather is now rumored to bring its low-cost electric scooter that will be introduced below Rs. 1 lakh. The test mule of the upcoming Ather electric scooter has also been spotted. Here’s all the development you need to know:
Ather Budget Electric Scooter Under Rs. 1 Lakh Test Mule Spotted
Rushlane has shared the test mule image of the upcoming Ather electric scooter. While not much is visible in terms of design overhaul, the powertrain and features are said to be trimmed down compared to the current-gen model including Ather 450X and the Ather 450 Plus electric scooter variants.
Just for reference, the Ather 450X and the 450 Plus are integrated with a 3.7 kWh li-ion battery unit. We are not sure if the brand will reduce the battery size on the upcoming model. Also, the former has a 5.4kW motor and the latter has a 6.2kW battery.
The new Ather electric scooter will have a lower capacity motor and probably the battery too to reduce the cost. We might also see a less riding range per charge compared to the current-generation model. One of the common features which the reports suggest to be present is the 7-inch digital instrument cluster.
Ather has recently revamped its portfolio with Gen 3 electric scooters, however, the moniker or the lineup of the next budget electric scooter is not revealed. However, we are expecting some details in the coming days.
Ather Upcoming Electric Scooter Price And Launch Timeline
According to the report, this new Ather electric scooter whose test mule has been spotted will cost under a lakh in India. This would be the cheapest Ather electric scooter that we will debut in India. Unfortunately, the launch timeline is not yet confirmed or revealed by the leaks or the brand. Therefore, its availability is uncertain.

Vivo is all set to launch its new V series phones in the Indian market. The brand is introducing the V27 series on March 1, 2023. The leaks have been consistently pouring in detailing the key specifications and features of the V27 Pro. Now, right ahead of the upcoming Vivo V27 India launch, the full specifications of the Vivo 27 Pro have emerged online.
The Vivo V27 Pro specifications have been leaked online right ahead of the official launch by a publication called Appuals. According to the report, the next-generation Vivo V27 Pro will be arriving with a massive 6.78-inch display panel. Vivo will be using a 60-degree curved AMOLED screen on the V27 Pro. This display panel will support 1080 x 2400 pixels FHD+ resolution. It will also have 120Hz refresh rate support and a punch-hole camera cutout for the selfie lens.

The first half of 2023 seems to be hectic for smartphone OEMs. We have witnessed a plethora of new handsets in the last two months. Infinix and Poco are the two brands battling in the sub Rs. 10,000 categories with their latest entry-level Android phones. The former launched the Smart 7 yesterday in the country, while the latter released the Poco C50 last month. Both these phones are laced with decent hardware but which one is a better value-for-money deal? Here in this comparison article we have broken down the pointers for you:

We don’t find much difference when the display panel of both phones are compared. The Poco C50 has a 6.52-inch LCD display with 720 x 1600 pixels HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. The display resolution offered by the Infinix Smart 7 is the same as the Poco C50; so is the LCD panel type. However, the screen size is bigger at 6.6-inch. For a larger screen, the Infinix Smart 7 will be a better pick. But overall viewing experience on both phones will be similar.
The Poco C50’s dual rear camera setup features an 8MP main camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a 0.08MP additional sensor for depth mapping. The Infinix Smart 7 has a bigger 13MP main camera at the rear combined with a 0.3MP depth lens. With the larger main sensor, the Infinix Smart 7’s image clarity could be better. As for the selfie camera, both Poco C50 and the Infinix Smart 7 has a 5MP main sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. This setup is adequate for general self-portrait shots.
Poco C50 uses the MediaTek Helio A22 chipset for performance delivery which is combined with PowerVR GE8320 GPU for graphics. Poco has packed this entry-level phone with 2GB/ 3GB RAM and 32GB built-in memory. It has a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Infinix, on the other hand, has integrated the Unisoc SC9863A1 mobile processor inside the Smart 7. This phone has a total of 7GB RAM (4GB physical/ 3GB virtual) and 64GB storage. This entry-level mobile processor is built on a 28nm process compared to the 12nm process used by the Helio A22.
For general calling and internet browsing, the Poco C50 and the Smart 7 are well-equipped. Also, if you wish to use the standard Android version, the Infinix Smart 7 with Android 12 OS is what you need to consider. The Poco C50 has an Android 12 (Go Edition).
In the battery segment too, Infinix Smart 7 takes a lead with the 6,000 mAh unit. The Poco C50 has a 5,000 mAh battery module.
Poco C50 Vs Infinix Smart 7 Final Verdict: The Better Deal?
The Poco C50 price in India starts at Rs. 6,249, while the Infinix Smart 7 can be purchased starting at Rs. 7,299 in the country. Both these phones are good when we consider the spec sheet. However, the Inifnix Smart 7 has a bigger battery and display and features regular Android 12 OS instead of Android Go Edition.
