Final Verdict: OnePlus 11 VS OnePlus 10 Pro
OnePlus 11 has the latest processor, better camera setup, and fast charging. However, it misses a few key features such as an IP68 rating and wireless charging. If these features are not important to you, then the OnePlus 11 is a better choice.
Will there be a OnePlus 11 Pro?
The lack of wireless charging and IP rating makes a room for another phone. Moreover, the camera setup can also get a better primary sensor. Hence, we think that there will be a OnePlus 11 Pro. It should come later this year, probably with the launch of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2+.
