"Premium design, but without identity": former OnePlus CEO Carl Pei assesses the OnePlus 11 flagship

There have been enough reviews on the OnePlus 11 flagship already, but this one is special because it's from OnePlus co-founder and former CEO Carl Pei, who left the company a few years ago to found startup Nothing.

Here's What He Said

Carl Pei dedicated an entire video to the OnePlus 11 on his YouTube channel. Of course, that wasn't without a comparison with his new brainchild, the Nothing Phone smartphone (1).

Overall, Pei was quite positive about the OnePlus 11, highlighting its premium design and admitting that it has a better camera than the Nothing Phone (1). At the same time, the former executive complained about some software issues and said the smartphone lacked "identity".

"It’s a very solid, premium, piece of hardware. It’s got a few hardware details that most people probably won’t notice but annoy me a little bit, which is fine. I think for both tech enthusiasts and more casual users, I’ll actually recommend the iPhone for those who like iOS, and the Pixel phones for those who like Android. On the other hand, if you don’t want to spend $800 on a smartphone, I still think the Nothing Phone (1) is a great option", Carl Pei summed up.
