“Premium design, but without identity”: ex-OnePlus head Carl Pei praised the OnePlus 11 flagship

The flagship OnePlus 11 has already received enough reviews, but this review is special since it is from the co-founder

and former OnePlus executive Carl Pei, who left the company several years ago and founded the startup Nothing.

What told

Carl Pei dedicated an entire video to OnePlus 11 on his YouTube channel. Of course, it was not without comparison with its new brainchild - the Nothing Phone smartphone (1).

Overall, Pei was quite positive about OnePlus11, highlighting its premium design and acknowledging that it has a better camera than the Nothing Phone (1). At the same time, the former executive complained about some problems with the software and stated that the smartphone lacked “identity.”

“This is very durable, premium equipment.It has a few hardware details that most people probably won't notice, but they annoy me a little and that's okay. I think for both tech enthusiasts and casual users, I really recommend the iPhone for those who love iOS and the Pixel phones for those who love 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,” concluded Carl Pei.
