A OnePlus 11 has about 17 months of useful life left under everyday use, running out around Feb 2028 when security updates end.

The two clocks

A device dies twice: once when the hardware wears out, once when the manufacturer stops patching it. Whichever arrives first is the one that actually ends its life. For the OnePlus 11, that is the manufacturer’s security-update cutoff.

Announced policy. After this date the OnePlus 11 keeps working but stops receiving patches, which is the point to stop using it for banking and email.

Lifespan by how hard you use it

Usage moves the hardware clock, not the security one. Worked hard, the OnePlus 11 wears out before its patches run out, so how you use it genuinely changes when it needs replacing.

A OnePlus 11 still has about 17 months of supported life, so a $80 battery works out to roughly $5 per remaining month — well under what replacing it now costs per month over the same span. Run your own numbers in the valuation tool.
