The iPhone 12 offers a familiar iOS experience with good camera performance for both photos and videos, and it should last through a full day of moderate use. Its build is premium with a high-quality display, though it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. The OnePlus 11, running Android, has a larger, curved 120Hz display that refreshes more smoothly and a higher overall camera quality, particularly in still photo and video performance with more camera features. It also boasts longer battery life and faster performance due to more recent hardware. Choose the iPhone 12 for iOS and a compact form, or the OnePlus 11 for a more powerful camera, faster performance, and a larger, smoother display within an Android ecosystem. Give Feedback

For the group of people who want a new iPhone without the price tag of the iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 13 range, this is a great choice. There's no settling for second best with this smartphone."

"The OnePlus 11 isn’t a perfect device, but it’s another big step in the right direction for the company. A great display, incredible performance, and some of the best battery life I've ever seen on a phone helps make this one of the best OnePlus devices in recent years."

About Apple
The tech giant called Apple is synonymous with the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Known for their build quality and aesthetics, as well as for their excellent integration between hardware and software, iPhones have defined the smartphone industry ever since their conception and they continue to do so by setting new industry standards. Apple's own operating system, called iOS, is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and the company tends to complement it well by creating devices with some of the most powerful processing hardware available in the mobile world. The iPhone is also known for its robust ecosystem of accessories, as it facilitates a very seamless experience when interacting with other Apple products, more so than most of its competitors.
About OnePlus
OnePlus, established in 2013, is a smartphone brand that first became known for providing flagship-like devices, at a fraction of the cost compared to more expensive Android competitors. OnePlus focuses on creating smartphones with powerful hardware at reasonable prices. They also bring hardware features normally not seen in other Android phones sold in the US, such as their ultra-fast “Warp Charge” and the beloved “Alert Slider”.
