Both offer improved features at a lower cost compared to their predecessors.
The 6.7-inch OnePlus 11 AMOLED screen bends at the sides and has a sharp QHD+ resolution, letting you see things clearly while zipping through web pages fast at 120Hz.
Meanwhile, the 6.1-inch screen on the Galaxy S23 is flat but still shows colors beautifully with FHD+ at a smooth 120Hz that changes based on what's on-screen, so it does not use as much power when not needed.
Both phones have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and Adreno 740 GPU.
The OnePlus 11 comes with either 8 or 16 gigabytes of fast LPDDR5X memory and spots to store stuff of 128 or 256 gigabytes, while the Galaxy S23 has 8 gigabytes of memory and 128 or 256 gigabytes of room. The storage places in the OnePlus 11 are types UFS 3.1 or the new fast UFS 4.0 style.

Cameras on the OnePlus 11 and Galaxy S23 are mighty excellent. OnePlus has a substantial 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 32-megapixel zoom lens on the back.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy packs a 50-megapixel wide camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens. Both phones mean business when it comes to taking photos!
