Display Comparison

The Pixel 7 Pro boasts a significantly brighter display at 1090 nits compared to the OnePlus 11's 767 nits, making it easier to see outdoors. Both offer excellent contrast ratios (infinite nominal), but the Pixel's brightness gives it a noticeable edge. Color accuracy is generally excellent on both, though Pixel's tends to be slightly more natural.

Camera Comparison

Google's Pixel 7 Pro consistently delivers exceptional image quality thanks to its advanced computational photography. Its Super Res Zoom is a standout feature. The OnePlus 11's camera is very good, but it doesn't quite reach the Pixel's level of detail and dynamic range, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Video recording is competitive on both.

Performance

The OnePlus 11's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 absolutely dominates the Pixel 7 Pro's Tensor G2 in raw processing power. Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading, and superior gaming performance on the OnePlus. While the Pixel 7 Pro is still capable, it doesn't match the OnePlus's sheer speed.

Battery Life

The OnePlus 11 has a slight edge in endurance rating (108h vs 83h), but the real difference lies in charging speed. The OnePlus 11's 100W wired charging is a game-changer, reaching 50% in just 10 minutes and 100% in 25 minutes. The Pixel 7 Pro's 23W charging is considerably slower.

Buying Guide

The OnePlus 11 is ideal for gamers, power users, and those who value fast charging and a smooth, customizable Android experience.
