OnePlus 11 vs S23 Ultra! Don't Be Fooled! 

Man the charging on the 11 is insane. I don't charge overnight anymore. I wake up plug it in while i shower and bam it's 💯

Extremely well said. The value that OnePlus and Pixel provide is insane. I grabbed the OP11 and love it

Its funny how this video with really no high end production gimmicks & rather just a guy in front of a camera with relatable and informative, unbiased content had me more interested as opposed to the thousands of bootleg channels from around the world that have unfortunately plagued the tech scene here on youtube (most of which, one cannot even understand) You've earned yourself a sub mate, cheers!

The OP11 is amazing!! Absolutely love mine. The S23 Ultra is indeed nice but doesn't justify such an exorbitant cost.

Got the OnePlus 11 and have to set it up loving it so far... Samsung is getting ridiculous with their pricing

Finally someone giving a logical and unbiased view on the OnePlus 11. S23 ultra is probably the best Android phone out there right now. But the op11 offers 90 percent of the same experience at almost half the price. ( And that makes a lot of sense in the current inflated World, and if u don't need a high zoom lens, the op11 offers around 95 percent of what the s23u is offering )

They already dropped the price on the oneplus 11 16gb 256 gb storage to $699 on best buy.

Also worth noting as I feel it's going to be a big enough deal with most 2023 flagships is the use of UFS 4.0 memory which both of these use.

If you can get the new s23 ultra for $600 when switching to google fi when porting a number in the US I'd try that. OnePlus is a good phone and you hit all the points correctly. Good review and comparison. Only real downside to the OnePlus is there are less third party cases but it's a good alternative for almost half the price. I really don't like coloros/oxygen os though either. The Oneplus is also on sale for the 256gb for $699 ($100 off). Definitely worth a consideration for the 16gb ram, 80watt charging, and quad hd display.

What camera you use to record this video it’s very crispy

Hi Adam. Where can I find that OP11 case?

Great video Adam! Always look forward to your new content. I really like the OnePlus 11, it looks so nice.

How is the navigation system using Google GPS and Waze ?? I had oneplus 7T which had navigation issue and that made me never to look back at oneplus. If it's good I'm considering to get oneplus 11.

Should i wait for the OnePlus12 if it comes out next yeat before pulling the trigger on the 11?

Does the oppo also have the security updates and android os updates?

How about Motorola edge plus 2023 not sure yet which one I'd get

Another great video as usual!! Thanks Adam!! I just received my OP11 16/256gb Yesterday and for just over 500 bucks with trade in and their 200 bucks bonus!! Can't beat it!! Love it!!

Really thankful you made this video because it took what I thought I knew and 100% confirmed it. The Oneplus 11 goes toe to toe with the S23 Ultra in so many areas! Thanks for helping me get the most out of money and helping me to see the great value in ordering the Oneplus 11 for way less than the S23Ultra 😁 God Bless! Excellent Content!!

I am watching all your Samsung content, great work! My S23 ultra arriving today, super exciting. Thanks for all the prior info 😉

I'm curious the difference in cell signal between them. My wife and I both have Verizon. I have the S21 Ultra and she has the OnePlus 6. When ever we are on vacation in the middle of nowhere, her phone destroys mine in cell signal strength. I'll have no signal with an X showing and she still has 2 bars and 4g internet.

Great vid Adam. Especially with the rise in costs of living most people can't afford a S23U. The OP11 or Pixel phones will do nicely. Also don't forget the haptics on the OP11 are way superior than the S23U. IMO Samsung need to step up on their haptic game.

ON my 7pro I found out if you just disable all the camera AI stuff it actually took better pictures and video. I'm curious to see if it does the same for the OnePlus 11.

It's funny how people complain about Samsung 45w charging as slow yet apple is slower😂😂😂

Hey, thanks for the video. Not sure about the comparison wouldn’t a better comparison be the regular S 23 or the S 23+… I had to 1+7 pro so I really like Oneplus or I did I just wonder about their software and about their commitment to four years and five years of security. I’m gonna have to wait a year and see what happens with their updates and security patches and then maybe at one +12 but they’ve been cut a chunk and out the last year or so so

I love my OP 7 pro. But I use it for playing movies outside on my projector. Through HDMI. So I'm sad to see they removed video out.

what do you think of the redmagic 8 pro?

who has better cameras: 1+ or s23(not ultra)?

Not sure if this is just the Chinese domestic model, or if they did a mid-production upgrade, but on the Taobao shopping app, it’s showing 100W charging, and the phones go up to 512GB storage.

I think the selling point for me are the new OnePlus buds pro 2. They are phenomenal. Best audio wireless audio experience I have ever had. And they were free with the phone.

How's heat dissipation on the one plus 11

What is hastle black?

Honestly, what oneplus has done with the oneplus 11 is very impressive. All these amazing spec with the price under 1000$. I love Samsung S23 Ultra but the price is just way too high. The only sad thing about oneplus 11 is that it doesn't has the wireless charger. which is not a big deal of course because the fast charging cable is doing absolutely incredible. Android is killing it at the moment. I've used iPhone for over 10 years now and still an apple fan boy but as of right now i am currently using oneplus 11 as my primary device and oppo find N2 flip 2. Having said that i'm still looking forward to the new 15 Pro Max especially knowing that they finally change to USB C. The lightning cable is frustratingly slow and so old fashion. Anyway, Android rules.!!!!!!!!

I bought this phone yesterday. But i am having a problem with the vibration intensity. Even reducing the vibration intensity doesn't reduce it. anyone facing the same problem? and any solution? Would be much appreciated. Thank you

Which phone has better battery life? I have a galaxy s20+ and the battery life sucks. Tia

As a person who is on the move a LOT I do a lot of charging in my vehicle. Here's the issue I had. The charging in the vehicle is wonky at best. Some times I'd get regular charge, 3+ hours to charge, sometimes I'd get faster charging 1-1.5 hrs, and occasionally I'd get the insane speeds charging. Overall, it was painful trying to get it to do a constant charge. I could but get a bonified 1+ car charger because they were consistently out of stock. I tried a what was suoposed to be a 1+ car charger, but none of them gave me the high speed charge. I also used the 1+ usb cord, but still had issues. Aside from the proprietary charging, i LOVE the phones. Most don't even worry or think about the car charger part, they only worry about the wall charger.

Does operating system have performance difference on both phones? Oxygen to whatever Samsung uses. I’m coming from 15 years of iPhone. Just want the fastest operating phone. Can care less for camera/video

Great review. Im pretty much decided on getting this 11 to replace my 1+6 that has been an amazing workhorse. Im on it from 7am most of the day watching videos and browsing interests on the original battery. Try that with a 5 1/2 year old constantly in serviced iPhone or Galaxy. Good luck. Hah! 😁

Excellent comparison, relatively short, and to the point. I've always bought the Note series and have ordered the S23 Ultra, putting my Note 20 Ultra to rest. I still like to keep tabs on the competition and will jump ship when I deem Samsung no longer worthy. OnePlus makes a great phone but Samsung has many cool features that I would miss. Losing the micro SD card slot was a major strike for me, although I never came close to maxing out the storage. I don't like losing options.

They changed the deal for S23 Ultra, now 650 for trading S22 ultra, still terrible deal.

I switched from a s23 plus to oneplus 11r and this is my first oneplus. While benchmarks and reviews show that both have similar performance, oneplus is way smoother in real life. No frame drops no jerks. I was really frustrated with Samsungs heating issues. And there are some noticeable problems. For example, I always found it to lag for a few moments after unlocking before it picks up. Another issue was the quick settings. With notifications it will almost always have a jerky transition while sliding down. And the deal breaker was Google maps. I live in India and in the tropical climate here the Samsung heated excessively if you open the maps app on a sunny day and used navigation. I had to have it mounted on the Ac vent to have it stay under control. Definitely Samsungs one ui is more polished and oneplus still has silly bugs but oneplus gets the basics correct better than Samsung. And the charging is something that I never realized what a big deal it is. I never need to charge oneplus it more than 10 mins. It's such a big quality of life improvement!

Buying the oneplus makes more 11 sense. What i don't like about samsung is that it is overpriced for what it offers.

What would you recommend if the price of s23 ultra is $65 (converted) difference only compared to oneplus 11?

Right On! Just sold my iPhone 13 Pro Max for $750 and bought OnePlus 11 256 gig at Best Buy today for $599! I’m the fool for spending $1099 every year with Apple to get the same phone. Great Video! People like you, are waking people like me, up.😅

Agree 💯 I bought the OnePlus 11 the day it was open for sales in the US

I rarely comment after watching review videos but I am now. Well done. Fantastic review. Honest, down to earth, easy to listen to! Keep it up!

OnePlus phones are so solid all round. They really show up the big boys when it comes to bang for your buck.

It has ip64 water rating officially and not to mention it probably does have the same ip68 rating it's just that it costs more to have the certification.

The Oneplus 11 is $1400 NZ here in New Zealand. And only the 256 model offered so far. Around $1000 is about my limit, so I'll just have to dream a bit longer.

Great review. does op11 support dual sim dual active DSDA feature? can u please confirm it. cuz S23 doesn't have it.

Thanks for this amazing video. I thought 1+11 isn't that great compared to S23U and iPhone 14PM. But watching this video, I'll upgrade my 1+9 to 1+11 🎉

Long time Samsung s series user here very disappointed with Samsung bad trading deals. I got my new OnePlus 11 delivered yesterday and so far I'm very pleased especially with the camera quality . Don't think I'm going back to Samsung

Look at any other video of one plus 11 vs samsung with an actual side by side compsriosn.

Wireless charging has always been pointless to me

Your such a badass. Keep up the good work brother

Great job tech odyssey I kept goin back and forth with these and went with the 23u putting esr camera protectors on it and in the iblason armor box got the cream color with 512 and after 200 trade in for Google 6a which I only paid 249 for new unlocked at best buy I got the 512 unlocked for 999 and getting 100 best buy gift card but just yesterday they switched the 11 to 699 for the 256 gb version and also getting 100 best buy gift card but I just know I fn love these Samsung phones so went with what I know but this one plus 11 looks to be fn awesome and at 699 for the 256 plus a 100 gift card is a damn good deal at best buy

i see what you're saying for sure, unless you got the fi deal for the s23u for $650 @512gb with no trade in otd

Does the 1plus have some water resistant I work outside and I'm sometimes out in the rain. I'm thinking between this or the pixel pro.

A fair assessment🤝🏾

I heard the system storage is quite high on the S23 ultra and it takes quite a bit of storage out of what they give you. Is that true.

What about the build quality and durability? I know firsthand about samsungs flagship, they last for years, battery does not wear out etc. What about oneplus?

Love the comparison. I prefer Oneplus and rather get a bang for your buck deal with it. Oneplus has amazing phones. I use to own a oneplus phone and I can attest to the experience I had with it being phenomenal! Very excited to save up and hopefully get my hands on the Oneplus 11. Phone looks very promising and I am more willing to save more. 😎

Also IR blaster is there in other places except US😂😂

But OnePlus 11 have the water resistance capabilityn, doesnt it ?

No 4K@60 video recorder on Selfie Cam. Shame

Thank you for pointing out the price difference. It helped me make my decision. I don't need wireless charging, I don't need the latest updates or the best camera. Just need the strongest performance 😊

The ultra line of galaxy is honestly unnecessary for most. I'm happy with my s23+ it's definitely a jump from my s21+. I'm here just to see different options. Like the pixel phone is a nice option too

Is it just me or is the quality in your video really good What camera you using?

The only thing I'm concerned about with 1+ is the software. Samsung has a very good software. Plus, I don't think they will keep their promise with 4 years of updates

What people don't understand is the OP does have water resistance, they just don't pay for the rating because if they did they would have to charge more. They pass the savings on to u.

Hi Adam. Oneplus phones are cool. I only bought two of their phones. The Oneplus 3t which was my first and the Oneplus 6t. My second and last. I like a lot of the features. Especially the app lock. I wish more manufacturers would include it on all phones.

Are you reviewing the global version of One Plus 11or the Chinese?

I did enjoy every second of this review, I'm so happy to see that, there are smart people out there not driven by marketing tricks and bs 😂😊!! More please!

stupid question: have you explored options to upgrade your microphone? I only mention this because I love your presentation and content, but your volume and sound quality are noticeably poor compared to your competitors. Sorry to post this publicly, I am not trying to be a jerk. I just thought I would ask, because you are spot on with your reviews and content, so maybe no one has ever asked this question? thanks for being patient.

Coming from an iPhone where I used MagSafe extensively and exclusively... am surprised how much happier with faster VOOC charging. I am loving OnePlus.

All you are saying is one plus is S23 ultra minus dex & wireless charging? In the pixel camp, is there dex ? Also, Can you compare pixel 7 pro with s23 ultra? Man, iphones never had dex setup, no wonder I never got interested.

Great video! Since the disappointing S21 line up I've slowly started to drift away from Samsung. The ONLY premium flagship they make is the Ultra and its too big and expensive and I don't use any of the extra features the Ultra line offers. I'm NOT going to use a phone with a 1080p screen! That's an old resolution that even Samung removed since the S6 with their 1440p displays. Why did they go backward!!!

I'm on my 3d OnePlus (the 11 now) and I like them a lot. Had Iphones, tried a Google Pixel (hated it...) and OnePlus does everything I want, best screen going, easy to run OS, saves some $.

Past 2 years I've been using s21plus and 22plus. But exynos suck. I was looking forward for snapdragon in my region. But it's over priced even for the plus variant, so I'm settling down with oneplus this year.

I just upgraded I was a daily hard-core user of a OP 7T Pro Mclaren and was considering the 10 Pro and then the 11 dropped so I was like man. crazy thing is my internet provider Xfinity was doing a dumb deal if I port my number from t mobile and boom I'm rocking S23U 512GB in Green its awesome still a OP supporter but I started my Samsung journey with a Galaxy S6 Edge PLUS its in my hamper in the closet lol

Seems like OnePlus is going back to its roots as a flagship buster instead of trying to keep up with them.

Excellent review! I had the S22 Ultra and decided to switch to the One Plus 11. I can tell you that I am enjoying my experience with this phone far more than the S22 Ultra. Same specs for the most part at nearly half the price. Call clarity is fantastic, the camera is better than what I expected, and the charging speed is fantastic. I was never one to really use wireless charging as it was far too slow for me. I do not regret one bit switching to One Plus and the review here just echoes what I am currently experiencing. Continue the great work and reviews!!!

Thanks for making this wonderful video

I really feel this is the best overall deal on a flagship, especially for the US market. Also think it's in line with, if not maybe better than any foreign phone around the same price right now.

I think this was a very important comparison. In fact, it's solidly demonstrates the difference between a flagship and a flagship killer. That is really what we're talking about here. Of course, with the Samsung you're going to get all the bells and whistles but, what if you don't need them? From my own personal perspective, it is $500 more for a bunch of fluffy features that I would never use. In addition, with the exception of the gen2 processor it is just a rerun of last year's s22. I chose the OnePlus 11 which hit my doorstep yesterday. I just purchased a 10 Pro a few weeks ago and was still within my return window for Amazon so, I sent it back. Strictly speaking, I thought the 10 Pro was an amazing phone but, this phone look like something special. In addition, I was able to purchase it for about $170 cheaper than the 10 Pro. In fact, I was able to purchase the 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price as the entry model; $699.99. apparently, it was on sale the day I purchased it. I want to touch on a feature that the OnePlus 11 has that the Samsung Galaxy s 23 ultra can't touch. Specifically, I'm talking about virtual ram. While the 16GB version that I purchased is powerful, the ram can be extended to 12 GB more for a total of 28 GB via virtual ram. In the settings menu under about phone, if you tap on RAM it will give you the option to extend the ram either 4, 8 or 12 GB virtually. The extra ram is borrowed from the ROM and reassigned as RAM. That is speed that the Samsung just can't match. Combine that feature with features like dual SIM card ability and 80 watt fast charging and you have some truly unique functions that the Samsung just can't touch. A flagship phone like the Samsung will give you a variety of features but, a flagship killer will concentrate on power. Combine that with high-end build quality and sell it at a lower price and you will have an amazing value.

I've never cared or used the functions of being waterproof, dustproof nor the S Pen in my 4 years having galaxy

Has charger I got it

I have both. If someone where to hand me a OnePlus 11 and said i could only use this phone, id be pretty happy. The op11 is a really sold phone. There are even some software ui elemets i like better on the op11. The charging is incredible. That being said using both and comparing them you start to see the differences. The s23U just has a bigger and better screen, better cameras, the spen and wireless charging which fits my use case the best.

YEAH, waterproof that why my note 20 fell into the water and now i'm researching and bought one plus 11, never like wireless charging , it's waste of energy, the heat it generated is obscure, inefficient and not for me at all., FYI my note 20 5g ultra had to repair for water damage once prior to this just by water splashing on the boat, and once for screen replacement, and 3rd time , it died after update... surprise, it still works and everything except i wont get receptions . Hence i researched Pixel 7 pro, & s23 ultra vs samsung flip 5 and this phone, this one win in every aspect.

One ui 5.1 is just something else now, the animations are smoother than the iPhone!! And better performance and battery, battery life is amazing, I never would have thought this from samsung, s23 is built different, also the new storage 4.0 plus sd8 gen2 made for samsung

thank you for great review for me i like the look of the one plus but like always i choose the phone with long years security update

S23 Ultra is the best phone I have ever owned and I am a Samsung knight since S9+

ask yourself people in the grand scheme of things do you need all these features in a phone do you really need the latest and greatest which in reality ain't groundbreaking

16 gb version at same price right now $699 on one Plus. Thinking to trade my s22 ultra.

Dude.... The standard speakers on this phone are beastly

I just bought OnePlus 11 . I have been OnePlus user since it launched it's first phone and have always been amazed what it's phone is capable of doing at such a ridiculous price. I still feel it's one of the most underrated phone on the planet. It can smoke flagships of Samsung and Apple in many department to be honest

The motto "never settle" actually they want to settle

the (big) problem with the Oneplus 11 is not the hardware but the software. Not about the current Oxygen/Color OS vs old Oxygen os fiasco. Color os is pretty decent. It's also not just the software bugs that come with their OS over time. Even Samsung / iPhones get bugs. What's bad is fixing those issues on time. Oneplus community forums are filled with users having lots of minor/major issues/bugs which are not being fixed for a pretty long time even after multiple updates. Slow bug fixes and not fixing a lot of bugs, that is their biggest problem.

"there are pros and cons to both but here's the morale of the story you win with either of them"

The best review I've ever seen, straight to the point ! I'm going to enjoy those 500 bucks 🙂

I don't know for how long, but Oneplus 11 256GB storage 16GB RAM version is $699, same as the base version.
