OnePlus 11 Deals: Free Storage Upgrade, Trade-In Offers and More

The OnePlus 11 is out now and we’ve rounded up the best ways to save on this new device.

Following its official unveiling in February, the latest flagship phone from OnePlus — the OnePlus 11 — is now available to buy. We’ve been scoping out the best OnePlus 11 deals for those who want to get ahold of one now while still saving some cash.

The follow-up to last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro features a slick, refreshed design and blistering speeds for gaming, plus exceptionally fast charging and a new Hasselblad-branded camera setup. The OnePlus 11 has a 6.7-inch display, making it one of the larger options at this kind of price, and it doesn’t skimp on features with a Super AMOLED panel, adaptive frame rate up to 120Hz and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

A representative for Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
