Starting with the rear design, the OnePlus 11 sports a large circular camera housing that joins the frame from the left side, just like its predecessor, the OnePlus 10 Pro. The iQOO 11, on the other hand, sports a boxy camera module with a metal-like plate that extends slightly towards the bottom. Coming to the frame, the right side of the OnePlus 11 houses an alert slider along with the power button, while the volume buttons are on the left. As a plus for the iQOO 11, it sports an IR blaster along with the power button and volume rockers on the right side of the frame. At the bottom, both the handsets have a USB-C port and a speaker grill.

Show
The OnePlus 11 differentiates itself from the iQOO 11 with a curved 6.7-inch 2K E4 AMOLED display with LTPO 3.0 technology that can fluctuate refresh rates between 1Hz to 120Hz according to the content being displayed on the screen. Coming to the iQOO 11, it features a flat 6.78-inch 2K E6 AMOLED panel which is relatively new and power efficient compared to the E4 panel found on the OnePlus 11. Besides this, the iQOO 11 also sports LTPO 4.0 which helps in saving battery by seamlessly switching between 1Hz to 120Hz in non-gaming activities.
As far as similarities are concerned, both the devices come with HDR10+ support for OTT apps, Always On Display and feature Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the display.
Processor, RAM and Storage
When it comes to performance, the OnePlus 11 and iQOO 11 are capable of running any graphics-intensive game smoothly, thanks to the 4nm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset at the core of both the devices. However, iQOO has gone a step ahead and added a custom-built V2 chip to the iQOO 11 that allows the device to boost frame rates up to 144FPS in certain games. Both the handsets have large enough cooling and heat dissipation systems to maintain the temperature during heavy workloads like running high FPS games and recording videos. Touching on the software skin, the OnePlus 11 comes with Android-13 based OxygenOS 13, while the iQOO 11 runs on Funtouch OS 13 which is also built on top of Android 13.
As for the storage configuration, the OnePlus 11 comes with 8GB of RAM with 128GB of ROM and 16GB of RAM with 256GB of ROM. While the RAM is based on LPDDR5X, the internal storage comes with UFS 4.0 speeds.
In iQOO 11, it is also available in two storage options which include 8GB RAM with 256GB ROM and 16GB RAM with 256GB ROM. Similar to the OnePlus 11, it also comes with UFS 4.0 memory speed.
camera
The optics of the OnePlus 11 are taken care of by a triple rear camera setup consisting of an OIS-enabled 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor, a 48MP Sony IMX581 ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 32MP Sony IMX709 2x telephoto camera. In comparison, the iQOO 11 has gone ahead with triple rear cameras that include a 50MP Samsung GN5 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 13MP 2x telephoto sensor. With powerful ISP, both the smartphones can record videos in 8K resolution through the main cameras. There is also a 16MP selfie unit at the front which is unfortunately limited to just 1080p at 30FPS for video recording.
Coming to the interesting part, the cameras on the OnePlus 11 have once again been tuned in collaboration with Hasselblad, just like their predecessors, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Pro. OnePlus has teamed up with Hasselblad to bring color science expertise to the cameras. The partnership has allowed both the companies to develop exclusive camera modes such as Hasselblad Portrait Mode and XPan Mode for clicking classically wide images. As for the iQOO 11, it borrows the capabilities of the V2 chip to enhance the cameras resulting in detailed and natural-looking pictures and videos, especially during the night.
