We’ve already heard that the OnePlus 11 will feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset straight from OnePlus, but according to a reliable source, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we can expect from the company’s next flagship smartphone. The OnePlus 11 will benefit from three major upgrades, if reliable leaker Digital Chat Station is to be believed.
The OnePlus 11 could get 16GB of RAM
While the OnePlus 10 Pro is barely underpowered in the RAM department with 12GB of RAM, the OnePlus 11 will apparently hit 16GB. This puts it in line with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and OnePlus 10T.
UFS 4.0: Why does it matter?
Also on the table is an upgrade to UFS (Universal Flash Memory) 4.0. This would make the OnePlus 11 one of the first phones to feature it, and it should offer major improvements in speed and efficiency.
UFS 3.1 has read and write speeds of up to 2,100MB/s and 1,200MB/s, respectively, while UFS 4.0 boosts it to 4,200MB/s and 2,800MB/s, respectively. It can also reach speeds of 23.2Gbps per lane, twice as fast as its predecessor. You can also expect a 46% increase in efficiency, which means longer battery life.
OnePlus 11 may have a ceramic body
Finally, Digital Chat Station says the OnePlus 11 will feature a metal frame and a ceramic body. OnePlus is no stranger to this, using it on special editions of both 2015’s OnePlus X and last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro.
Note, however, that the last tip is controversial. The well-informed Max Jambor popped up on Twitter, saying that the ceramic body didn’t happen after all. Although he does support the UFS 4.0 statement – which is more important in the larger plan.
Speaking of Jambor, the leaker also does a good job of explaining why these good-sounding updates are coming to the OnePlus 11 and not the OnePlus 11 Pro: thanks to the simplified rebranding, they’re the same.
