One humid afternoon in Dhaka, I was juggling calls, messages, and quick photos while carrying both the OnePlus 7T and Apple iPhone 11. The 7T impressed with its smooth 90Hz display and fast app-switching, making daily tasks effortless, while the iPhone 11 stayed solid and reliable but felt slightly slower in multitasking. After using both phones for more than a few weeks amid the typical heat, excessive mobile data, and network jams of Bangladesh, it became clear that charging speed, display fluidity, and camera reliability make the real difference. In this hands-on comparison, I’ll share my experience with spec comparison, price trends in bd, gaming, network stability, camera output, and display performance in Bangladesh.

I personally visited Bashundhara Market, Jamuna Market, and multiple online stores to check mobile prices in bangladesh. Currently, the OnePlus 7T is mostly available through unofficial imports, making its price slightly higher than expected for a 2020 device. Since, the iPhone 11 is not officially available in Bangladesh, unofficial grey-market units still prevail, often fluctuating wildly depending on stock and demand. Buyers should note that grey-market purchases carry risks like no official warranty and unpredictable resale value. Walking through Jamuna Market and Bashundhara City, it became obvious Bangladesh pricing is fluid and can change weekly based on import availability.

Last weekend, I decided to test the OnePlus 7T and Apple iPhone 11 in a real-life scenario, long gaming sessions at home in Dhaka without air conditioning, with the afternoon sun heating up the room. I played PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Genshin Impact, and Free Fire for hours, observing how each phone handled performance, heat, and battery. According to GSMArena, the OnePlus 7T is powered by the powerful Snapdragon 855+ (7 nm) chipset. It maintains impressively smooth, maintaining stable frame rates and minimal throttling even in Genshin Impact’s demanding graphics. The iPhone 11’s A13 Bionic (7 nm+) chip is undeniably powerful but warmed up faster during extended play, slightly affecting frame stability. For Bangladeshi gamers, the 7T competes well with devices like Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite, offering excellent speed, display smoothness, and brand value at its price.

Battery Health Reality: During my long gaming sessions, the OnePlus 7T quickly tops up with Warp Charge 30T, letting me jump back into games almost instantly. The iPhone 11 holds charge longer per full cycle but takes more time to recharge, which can slow you down during extended play.

• Speed vs Stability: In my daily use, the OnePlus 7T feels noticeably faster with instant app launches and smoother scrolling, while the iPhone 11 stays more controlled and consistent over long-term use.

• Display Advantage: The OnePlus 7T clearly wins for visual experience, offering smoother motion and better sharpness, whereas the iPhone 11’s display feels dated side by side.

• Camera Reliability: iPhone 11 takes the lead by delivering dependable photos and videos every time, while the OnePlus 7T can be hit-or-miss, especially in low light.

• Battery Confidence: iPhone 11 holds up better through a full day in Bangladesh usage, whereas the OnePlus 7T often demands a recharge before evening.

• Charging Speed: OnePlus 7T dominates here, charging far quicker and feeling more practical during busy or power-cut days.

• Resale Value: In Bangladesh markets, iPhone 11 is the clear winner, maintaining stronger resale demand and pricing compared to the OnePlus 7T.

During my daily commuting and indoor usage, network reliability mattered more to me than peak speed numbers. I tested both phones using Grameenphone, Banglalink, Robi, and Airtel SIMs across busy Dhaka roads, residential areas, and indoor offices.

• 4G LTE data: OnePlus 7T consistently pulled higher peak speeds indoors, while iPhone 11 maintained steadier data flow in crowded network zones.

• Call quality: iPhone 11 delivered clearer, more stable voice calls with fewer random drops; OnePlus 7T was good but slightly less consistent.

• Network switching: OnePlus 7T switched between towers and bands faster when moving, especially during travel.

• Congested areas: iPhone 11 handled network congestion better during peak evening hours.

• 5G readiness: Neither phone supports true 5G Network for Bangladesh’s upcoming rollout.

• Wi-Fi stability: Both were reliable, but OnePlus 7T reconnected faster after brief disconnections.

What mattered most to me wasn’t camera specs, but how often I could trust the phone to get the shot right without retakes. I used both phones for daily photos, family moments, street scenes, food shots, and short videos, across daylight and low-light Bangladeshi conditions.

• Daylight photography: OnePlus 7T captures sharp and contrasty photos, but colors can feel slightly boosted. iPhone 11 delivers more natural colors and balanced exposure consistently.

• Low-light & night: iPhone 11 clearly wins, retaining more detail with fewer noisy artifacts, while OnePlus 7T struggles to stay consistent.

• Portraits: iPhone 11 produces more reliable edge detection; OnePlus portraits look good but fail occasionally.

• Video recording: iPhone 11 dominates with smoother stabilization and more dependable focus. OnePlus video is decent but less stable.

• Consistency: iPhone 11 feels more “point-and-shoot,” while OnePlus requires more retries.

I noticed the display difference immediately during long scrolling sessions and outdoor use. Living with both phones daily made their strengths and weaknesses very clear.

• Panel type & feel: OnePlus 7T’s AMOLED panel with 90Hz refresh feels smoother and more premium. iPhone 11’s LCD feels noticeably less fluid.

• Sharpness & clarity: Text and images look sharper on OnePlus 7T, side by side, iPhone 11 appears softer.

• Outdoor visibility: OnePlus 7T handles bright sunlight better with stronger contrast.

• Indoor comfort: iPhone 11’s LCD display is easy on the eyes for some users during long reading sessions.

• Overall experience: OnePlus 7T delivers a clearly superior visual experience for media and scrolling.

Choose OnePlus 7T if smooth display, faster charging, and daily speed matter most. Pick iPhone 11 if you prioritize camera reliability, longer software support, and stronger resale value.

From my long-term use in Bangladesh, OnePlus 7T feels faster and smoother, but iPhone 11 remains the more dependable, longer-lasting choice for most buyers.
