The OnePlus 11 gives us the affordable price and supreme battery life that the Galaxy S23 couldn't, but OnePlus is not ubiquitous and widely sold as Samsung or Google, especially here in the U.S. This means your buying options for OnePlus's super-shiny flagship are limited, especially as the preorder window has ended, and the phone is officially released for public purchase. We're still hunting for more, but with no carriers selling the phone this year, expect deals to be fewer and further between for the next couple of months.
OnePlus 11
Excellent specs, genuine two-day battery life, and a $700 price tag help the OnePlus 11 provide excellent value, so long as you're tolerant of Oxygen OS these days. OnePlus is offering up to $500 trade-ins and a free storage upgrade, but like Samsung, trade-in values are not what they seem.
OnePlus
As the manufacturer, OnePlus has the most incentive to get you into a new phone, and so it's offering a small laundry list of specials for OnePlus 11 preorders. Firstly, they're offering up to $500 for trade-ins — up to $730 if you're parting with an iPhone — but unless you're a member of OnePlus's Red Cable Club, the Android phone trade-ins seem to be capped at $400. Samsung and OnePlus values are hundreds less than anticipated, again, but at least relatively new devices will get you $200-$350.
If you own a Pixel or Moto phone, don't bother trading it in, you will not get enough to justify the hassle. Just keep your old phone as a backup or sell it separately on Swappa, Gazelle, or another used tech platform.
Amazon
Amazon does not offer trade-ins, and now that preorders are over, the free $100 gift card promotion has expired, too. Amazon is more likely to have flash sales on the OnePlus 11 than OnePlus and Best Buy, especially once we start getting closer to the summer and Prime Day.
Best Buy
Best Buy's gift card preorder bonus has ended, but even weirder, there is still no trade-in option for the OnePlus 11. This is unfortunate as Best Buy seems to be valuing Samsung and Google phones better than OnePlus itself is.
We'll check back to see if it's added, later on, but as carriers are not carrying the OnePlus 11, it may not be added. Trade-in is all but required for any carrier phone Best Buy sells, but without that, there's little need for Best Buy to add that in for it.
