Given the plethora of leaks, renders and the official teasers, there were no surprises. One detail that was not all that obvious until now is just how textured the back of the black version of the OnePlus 11 is. By the looks of it, the material from which the back is made has a finish that resembles sandstone.
In contrast, the back of the green OnePlus has a very glossy finish. It will be interesting to see (and feel) the material that OnePlus chose for the black version of its new flagship. However, the vast majority of customers will have to wait a bit longer to do that.
Even though the OnePlus 11 will be making its debut as early as next week (what a way to start 2023!), the official international launch will take place in February. OnePlus will be holding a dedicated event in India on February 7th, where it is likely to launch the OnePlus 11 internationally, alongside the new OnePlus Buds Pro 2.
It looks like the first months of 2023 will be very intense when it comes to Android. The OnePlus 11 will be one of the first major flagships powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. However, the Galaxy S23 is also right around the corner. The battle of the Android flagships has already begun.
