Google Pixel 8 vs OnePlus 11: Specs, features, and more
Specifications
Google's new smartphone has a similar look to its predecessor's phone line. While certain things remain familiar, there are many reasons to be thrilled, including new camera software capabilities and an all-new Tensor G3 chipset.
OnePlus, on the other hand, has returned to making certain upgrades in order to deliver an all-rounder affordable flagship. It comes without any software-related camera tricks like the Google Pixel 8. Here are the specifications for both phones:
Performance
The OnePlus 11's Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 CPU is one of the finest processors on the market right now. It has practically no heat concerns and boasts lightning-fast app opening rates. This phone is also good for gaming and still runs on Android 13, with Oxygen OS 13 skin on top of it.
The Tensor G3 appears to be more powerful than its predecessor, G2, making the Google Pixel 8 a suitable alternative for daily usage. However, the Google Tensor G3 chipsets produced by Samsung are prone to overheating during outdoor usage, so we don't suggest it for gaming or long hours of video recording. But it comes with the latest Android 14 OS, right out of the box.
Display and Battery
In terms of the display, quite a few differences can be found when you directly look at both phones. The Google Pixel 8 uses a Full HD 120Hz 6.4-inch AMOLED panel, and it comes with a flat display. On the other hand, the OnePlus 11 has a more premium curved 2K AMOLED display, with LTPO3 support. It also supports a peak refresh rate of 120Hz.
Both phones promise a day's battery life, but the OnePlus 11 has a bigger battery. When it comes to fast charging, this device is miles better, supporting 100W fast charging, which charges the smartphone in under 30 minutes.
Camera and video
When it comes to cameras, Google is well-known for its inventions in clicking pictures and its post-processing. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the Google Pixel 8 has also surprised everyone with its new AI image processing tools mixed with outstanding hardware. In every lighting condition, its images are colorful and sharp. It can also record videos at up to 4K 60FPS.
However, the OnePlus 11 boasts a more flexible camera arrangement, since it has an additional telephoto sensor with optical zoom for incredibly detailed portrait images. Its 50MP primary sensor can capture acceptable photographs throughout the day, but it falls short of generating amazing low-light shots, as the Pixel 8 can.
Verdict
Both smartphones have a similar starting price, but the Google Pixel 8 is definitely the better option for camera lovers. Its software comes without any additional apps or bloatware. On top of that, Google has confirmed seven years of OS updates for it.
But, if you are looking for an all-rounder smartphone with premium looks and long battery life as your top priority, then the OnePlus 11 makes much more sense. However, its cameras struggle in low light, especially the ultrawide angle lens.
So, both smartphones cater to different audiences, and you need to decide if cameras and long OS updates are your top priorities or if you prefer premium looks with better battery life
