The OnePlus 11 Pro is expected to launch in a few months, and its first image renders have already leaked from a reliable source. It appears that the company is making good on its promise to bring back the fan-favorite alert slider.
Established leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as OnLeaks, released several images and a video (via Smartprix) revealing the OnePlus 11 Pro design. There are a few notable changes, but OnePlus fans will likely be interested most in the presence of the alert slider.
Many of you already complaining on the #OnePlus11Pro camera bump design. If you ask me, #OnePlus did great job. It looks very sleek… pic.twitter.com/jBQ2AY2bmw

OnePlus flagship phones have featured the alert slider for years until the OnePlus 10T. Technically, it did not affect the device’s overall performance. But the alert slider became a favorite feature among OnePlus fans because it provided a much easier way to switch across mute, sound, and vibrate alert modes.
The company said its removal from the OnePlus 10 Pro was a design choice to make room for other features, but OnePlus previously said this change is not permanent. “Our product team plans to overcome this technical and design challenge in future devices so we can deliver improved technologies while retaining our signature alert slider,” the company said last month. “While the OnePlus 10T does not have the alert slider, this does not mean it will be removed from all future OnePlus devices.”
The OnePlus 11 Pro will also retain the camera island for rear-facing sensors. But the company is expected to add new details, including a round camera bump enclosing three cameras and the LED flash. The Hasselblad logo — missing from the OnePlus 10T — is also slated to return. For the selfie camera, the OnePlus 11 Pro will still feature a small hole-punch cutout on the upper left corner of the display.
Technical specifications, including dimensions, camera details, and battery life, were not included in the leak. But these details could appear in the wild soon considering the OnePlus 11 Pro is expected to be unveiled in a few months.
The OnePlus 11 Pro is lined up to be the company’s next premium flagship phone, so it would not be surprising if it is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. But recent reports have claimed that the company aims for the OnePlus 11 Pro to be the first smartphone with the next-gen SoC in the market.
