Carl Pei gives his review of the OnePlus 11

Last week, OnePlus introduced us to the OnePlus 11, its magnum opus, and it looks like it’s going to be a formidable device. Tons of reviewers are already cracking into the device; rather, tons of reviews and one notable businessman. Ex-OnePlus executive Carl Pei just gave his review of the OnePlus 11.

In case you didn’t know, Carl Pei was one of the founders of OnePlus back in the day. However, he left the company a few years ago and formed Nothing from the remnants of Essential. Nothing has since developed the Nothing Ear (1), Nothing Ear (Stick), and most notably the Nothing Phone (1).

So, while Pei already delivered his review of the iPhone 14, it’s this review that reverberated with the audience the most for obvious reasons. The review itself was just over 12 minutes long, and it didn’t dive too deep into the nitty gritty.

However, he did touch on some key points. He talked about what he liked about the phone and what he didn’t. From a hardware perspective, Pei was full of praise for the phone. He liked how the phone looked and how the camera package played with the light. Also, he gave some compliments on the camera performance while making some comparisons to the Nothing Phone (1).

As for what he didn’t like, Carl Pei pointed some nit-picks about the hardware, the buttons, and the software. In the end, he said that “It’s a tough one. My verdict for my OnePlus 11 review is that it’s a really solid piece of premium hardware.”

During the review, he did compare the OnePlus 11 to the Nothing Phone (1) several times. In fact, the Nothing Phone (1) had a fair bit of screen time. While Pei remarked on certain areas he didn’t really like, he also pointed out some areas where Nothing needed to improve like the camera performance.
