Carl Pei, the former co-founder of OnePlus, who founded London-based consumer tech firm Nothing has reviewed the newly launched OnePlus 11 5G. Earlier, he had reviewed the iPhone launched last fall and now, he has reviewed the latest OnePlus 11 from the company he had co-founded with Pete Lau in 2013.

In a 12-minute long video, Pei reviews the new OnePlus 11. He is seen talking about the hardware and software of the OnePlus 11. Mentioning the good things about the OnePlus flagship, Pei calls the device “beautiful” and talks about the details of its design that most buyers might look over. He also talks about the subtle textures of the camera module and how the edges of the phone make it appear to be thinner than it is in reality. Pei also adds that he is impressed with the overall premium feel of the phone.

When it comes to the software of the OnePlus 11, Pei gets critical. He mentions that he is clueless about why OnePlus would take something that worked and mess with it. He also mentions the problems with the usability of the software and opening the app drawer that has been designed with Chinese characters in mind.

The Nothing founder also says that while OnePlus 11 is a great phone but it has “no real identity.”
