FULL STORY ======================================================================

We now know when the OnePlus 11 is being announced, as OnePlus itself has confirmed that the phone will be unveiled on February 7.

The company has said as much on its official site . Or, more specifically,
its said that its holding an event called Cloud 11 on February 7, but then at the bottom of the page theres a button to press to learn more about the OnePlus 11 5G, which is there mentioned by name. So that pretty much confirms this phone will be present at Cloud 11.

Incidentally, the additional details that you can learn by pressing that button are just that it has Hasselblad cameras (which we already knew) and an alert slider.

Theres also mention of the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, so expect them to land on February 7 as well, and theres a suggestion that there might also be some surprises.

The event kicks off at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm GMT on February 7, or at 1am
AEDT on February 8, and of course well be covering the launch in full at TechRadar. (Image credit: OnePlus)

This isnt the only OnePlus 11 news though, as MySmartPrice has also spotted the phone on a Geekbench 5 benchmark.

The benchmark points to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which we fully
expected, since that OnePlus 10 Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Theres also
a mention of 16GB of RAM, which is more than you can get the OnePlus 10 Pro with. This is probably the top model though, so wed expect there will also be a 12GB version, and possibly an 8GB one.

Android 13 is mentioned too, and the OnePlus 11 achieves a single-core score of 1,493 in this benchmark, and a multi-core score of 5,112. Those are impressive scores, with this years top Android phones generally achieving single-core scores of under 1,200 and multi-score scores of under 4,000. But of course, theyre also typically using older chipsets, so that makes sense.

We would also take this benchmark with a pinch of salt, since even if it is genuine, its based on pre-release hardware, and benchmark scores arent generally worth reading too much into at the best of times. Still, well know exactly how well the OnePlus 11 performs quite soon. (Image credit: Geekbench / MySmartPrice) Analysis: OnePlus is ramping up the teasers

The announcement of the OnePlus 11s unveiling date isnt the first teaser weve had for the phone. Just a couple of days earlier, OnePlus released a teaser video showing off the camera block and Hasselblad branding.

There hasnt been much else yet from the company, but we expect far more teasers and official details to emerge in the coming weeks, as OnePlus has a habit of drip-feeding information about its phones ahead of the full announcement.

In fact, theres every chance that well already know most of the details about the OnePlus 11 by the time its unveiled on February 7. Its a strange practice that can slightly deflate the launch event, but perhaps it builds hype ahead of that. Presumably it works for OnePlus anyway, or the company wouldnt keep doing it.

OnePlus certainly needs to build hype in any case, because with the Samsung Galaxy S23 series reportedly also landing in February , the OnePlus 11 will have some serious competition.
