Comparing the overall specifications of the three devices, the OnePlus 11 smartphone has turned out to be the best smartphone device among the three flagships.
First, about the performance offered. Samsung’s Galaxy S23 smartphone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 leading version offers the best performance than the other two devices. The OnePlus 11 is just behind and is also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, but with a lesser primary clock speed. The Pixel 7 smartphone has the least performance to offer, and comes with the brand’s own Tensor G2 chipset.
About the displays, the OnePlus device has the largest 6.7″ LTPO3 Fluid AMOLED display with the highest screen resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone has the Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 6.1″ screen size, whereas the Pixel 7 smartphone features a 6.3″ AMOLED display panel. Both the Galaxy smartphone and the Pixel device have similar screen resolutions. The OnePlus device and the Galaxy smartphone support 120Hz refresh rates, but the Pixel 7 only has a refresh rate of 90Hz.
Coming to the cameras, the OnePlus device has the best 50MP triple rear camera setup with a 32MP telephoto camera and a 48MP ultrawide lens. The Galaxy smartphone also sports a 50MP triple rear camera unit, however, only has a 10MP telephoto camera and a 12MP ultrawide lens. The Pixel 7 smartphone in comparison also comes with a 50MP main camera, but only has a 12MP(UW) additional camera.
Even for the front cameras, the OnePlus 11 smartphone has a better 16MP selfie camera, while the Galaxy and Pixel devices feature only 12MP and 10.8MP front-facing cameras, respectively.
Finally, regarding the battery backups. The OnePlus device is backed by the largest 5000 mAh battery and supports the fastest wired fast charge feature of 100W/80W. However, the smartphone doesn’t have a wireless charging or a reverse wireless charging feature, both of which are supported by the other two devices.
So, as mentioned, the OnePlus device is not the best in terms of some of its specs, but taking the case of the overall specifications offered on the three flagship devices, it is very much evident that the OnePlus 11 smartphone is the best or maybe better when compared to the Galaxy S23 and Pixel 7 devices.
