Display Comparison
The OnePlus 11 boasts a superior display with a higher measured brightness (767 nits vs. Ace 2's likely lower brightness) and an impressive infinite contrast ratio. While both offer vibrant colors and smooth refresh rates, the 11's display provides a more immersive and visually stunning experience. The Ace 2's display is still good, but not quite in the same league.
Camera Comparison
The OnePlus 11's camera system is a significant upgrade. While specific megapixel counts aren't provided, the 8 Gen 2's image signal processor (ISP) and likely improved sensors contribute to better image quality, dynamic range, and low-light performance. The Ace 2's camera is capable, but doesn't match the 11's overall photographic prowess.
Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the OnePlus 11 provides a noticeable performance advantage over the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the Ace 2. Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and improved gaming performance on the 11. Both phones handle everyday tasks with ease, but the 11's chipset offers more headroom for demanding applications.
Battery Life
Both phones offer excellent battery life, with the OnePlus 11 demonstrating an active use score of 11:05h and an endurance rating of 108h. The Ace 2's 100W charging is undeniably faster, reaching 50% in 10 minutes and 100% in 25 minutes. However, the 11's slightly better battery optimization allows it to last longer on a single charge.
Buying Guide
The OnePlus Ace 2 is ideal for users prioritizing incredibly fast charging and a powerful processor for gaming, especially those on a tighter budget. The OnePlus 11 is the better choice for those seeking a premium flagship experience with a top-tier camera, smoother performance, and a more refined design.
