OnePlus 11 is expected to launch in first half of 2023, key specifications leaked

This year has been a busy one for OnePlus and the company, it seems, doesn’t plan to rest any time soon. Past reports suggested that the next smartphone that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer plans to unveil is the OnePlus 11 Pro. But, now a new report suggests a different story. The latest report reveals that the company will, instead, launch the OnePlus 11 with Pro-specs.

According to a report coming from a popular tipster, Max Jambor, OnePlus’ next smartphone will be called the OnePlus 11 and not the OnePlus 11 Pro. Now, it is said that in the first half of 2023, OnePlus will launch the OnePlus 11 with Pro-level specs. This also means that we may not see the OnePlus 11 Pro launch alongside the base model earlier next year unless the company changes its mind. It is believed that the OnePlus 11 Pro will go official in the second half of 2023 with better and more powerful specifications

Now, this change in strategy kind of makes sense since the OnePlus 11 is said to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chipset, while the Pro model is tipped to come with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen2 SoC later next year.
