PRICE 16GB/256GB, £666 (£799 inc VAT) from oneplus.com
OnePlus’ latest phone represents a return to the brand’s defining formula: competitive specs at a competitive price. It’s £70 cheaper than the OnePlus 10 was at launch, and there’s only one model, with no upsell to a “Pro” version. Pricing starts at a reasonable £729 with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, or you can buy a 512GB/16GB model for £799.
What you get for the money is a very nice-looking phone. I like the flat edges on the top and bottom, and the curved bump on the rear shines like a sports car. Fans of previous OnePlus phones will be pleased to note that the physical alert slider remains on the side. You can flick this up to mute the phone or down to turn the sound back on. It’s wonderfully tactile, with a knurled face that makes it easy to find without taking the phone out of your pocket.
