  4. Wireless charging with 50watt is only available using oneplus wireless charges on 10pro and op 12(recently launched) other than that in normal other branded fast wireless charger oneplus 10 pro and oneplus 12 doesnot support 50 watt wireless charging it only goes upto 10watts which will take around 4hourd to charge the battery… Which is bonkers… Also with the great battery life of OP 12 and OP 12 its not required unlike others

  8. Thank you for a great side-by-side evaluation. One feature you did not mention, which is of paramount importance to veterans of OnePlus is the slider, which instantly puts the phone into do not disturb mode. For hardcore users, this slider is essential.

  9. I own both phones and I could never recommend the Pixel 7 Pro over the OnePlus 11 because of these facts.

    1) battery life is so much better on the OP11.
    2) The charging speeds are night and day. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've used wireless charging in my life. The Pixel charges glacially slow.
    3) performance is much better on the OP 11.
    4) Price – I recently picked up a 16 gig 256 gig eternal green OP-11 on OnePlus's website. You get so much more for the money. Granted the GP 7 pro Is Christ well and can be had at a great price. Don't get me wrong The pixel is a great phone I love the style Love the hazel green color but OnePlus just beats it to me hands down. And I never get any bugs or weird little mishaps with OnePlus like I do with a pixel. Oh yeah then there's the whole overheating thing… Granted updating to Android 14 has helped tremendously with that and battery life but still OnePlus is the king in my opinion

  10. Pixel's location's accuracy is poor. Whenever I use GPS it's common to see it either lag or think I'm one block across, it's so annoying to constantly have gmap recalculating my route.

  23. The Pixel 7 Pro has charging issues on anything other than a pixel charger. It will charge super slow if not on Google's chargers. The Pixel 7 Pro is also absolutely trash compared to other flagships for battery life. Try running google maps for a few hours and watch the battery life get sucked to death. Imagine what it will be in six months to a year. The Pixel 7 Pro is Google's worst phone when you consider price vs value. I have owned every north American flagship phone within the past seven years and do not recommend this phone at all. I have had a lot of OnePlus phones, but their lack of support has made me move away from buying them, although that said, I am interested in purchasing the OnePlus 11 used.

  24. I hate when tech privileged youtubers think removing wireless is the "worst decision" when it's honestly the single most useless feature and normally people couldn't care less about it unless they've spent a fortune on their phone and need a psychological justification in the form of looking at their device slowly tick charge the battery on a wireless pad.

  25. Google Pixel will always be king. They are original, unadulterated and exactly the way Google designed Android to work. None of the manufactureres in the market can match Google's algorithms, forget about OnePlus. Pixel 7 pro any day over China phones.

  29. My husband and I both have Pixel 6 Pros. They are in their boxes, not being used at all. We got tired of the massive amount of glitches and software problems with almost every update so we bought two Motorola Edge Plus 2022's and have used them happily for almost a year. Our Pixels will probably go to the grandkids at Christmas and I will never buy a Google phone again, even though our Pixel 2's were fantastic.
    Wireless charging means nothing to me as it's too slow and has a tendency to heat up my phone. I'll be buying two OnePlus 11 phones soon. They look fantastic!

  30. Do Alex Dobie.
    If you read your comments. Then you know that your opinion is vastly outweighed by basically every single person on this thread. I agree with them also. I don't need wireless charging at 15w when I can press a cable in the ass of my ohone,and it be charged to 100% in 27 minutes. That argument is OVER.! So stoo pressing it. The OP11 is clearly the better phone with future proofing to boot. Just stop with the Google love. The ohone is ugly and you know the OnePlus is superior. Just because you work at a new tech group. .? Make the right choice man. You lie for what.? Tell the truth man. You squander back and forth ,but its the OP11 everytime. Deal with it.

  32. I had the pixel 7 pro. It has some really good features, but it's nowhere near a flagship imo. I left oneplus after the 9 pro let down and the 10 lost its slider.

  33. I never Will go to wireless charging till it's worth you pay about 1.5x for about 50% of the speed and it's till a wire from the wall to the pad so I wouldn't say it stops the mess with wires but that's just me

  36. Great comparo. Thanks for pointing out the middling radio performance with the Exynos modem. This is the sole reason I haven't gone pixel. I wish more reviewers would point out this core functionality that's impacted by modem choice.
