OnePlus 11R is likely to debut around the same time as the OnePlus 11, according to leaks and rumours. The OnePlus 11R is likely to launch with a curved screen and the company's iconic alert slider, which was missing in the OnePlus 10T 5G. 

The iconic alert slider, which makes it easier to toggle between ring and silent modes has been only adopted by Apple iPhones and OnePlus. However, OnePlus also did away with the alert slider in the OnePlus 10T 5G, which upset a section of its fans. Earlier in August, the handset maker said it is planning to bring back its alert slider in future smartphones and the OnePlus 11R might be that device.

The OnePlus 11R with the codename "Udon" is currently in the testing phase and it will offer a curved display and OnePlus’ iconic alert slider, says a report by MySmartPrice. The OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 11R will be part of the OnePlus 11 series that may be unveiled in the coming months. The upcoming OnePlus 11R is likely to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC while the OnePlus 11 is likely to be powered by the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

The OnePlus 11R is likely to mark the debut of an infrared blaster on a OnePlus smartphone. The OnePlus 11R may also come with a 120Hz AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and HDR10+ support. Its curved screen will accommodate the front selfie camera inside a centered punch hole design.

Meanwhile, previously, a tipster said that the OnePlus 11 and Oppo Find N2 will share camera specs and come with Hasselblad camera optimisations, something that the OnePlus 10T missed. The tipster also said that the Oppo Find N2 will support Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), but it is not clear whether the OnePlus 11 will also come with OIS, a report by publication PlayfulDroid said.
