Smartwatches: What's the Point?
Is your smartwatch making you a worse person? I got a Garmin Venu 3S this year, and after six months of wearing it day and night, I have a lot of thoughts.

OnePlus 12 Six Months Later - Still the Best Value?
Переглядів 100 тис.3 місяці тому
I used the OnePlus 12 exclusively since it launched, and I have a lot of feelings about it, especially now that it's had some updates. It's always been a great value, but is it still the best-valued Android in Summer 2024?

    There's an issue with these new Omnivision Telephotos... GCam and other aftermarket camera and video apps can't read them at all. Feels like ti's a processing workflow thing inherent to the cameras.

    has anyone else noticed the change in the interface on the stock photo app on their oneplus 12? what happened to being able to select 12 or 50MP on the main shooter in auto? just some weird changes to manipulating your pictures have pretty much disappeared.

    • @Wildman_Tech
      @Wildman_Tech 4 дні тому

      Camera features aside, I'd suggest the OnePlus. The specs are vastly improved for multitasking, gaming, and longevity. Additionally, the screen and battery are moderately better than the Pixel 8 Pro. Those are both fantastic phones, but if the camera isn't terribly important to you, the OP12 is the better choice in my opinion!

    If they keep or add curves, I won't be buying one. I don't like curves at all. Currently on the S24 Ultra with a case, so it's flat. But, I remember back in the day I got the S7 Edge to try it out and after only one week I gave it to my wife... Who also abandoned it a few months in... It sat on my bookshelf for a year and then was sold on Craigslist. I just can't. The way I hold my phone and use it with one hand I always have accidental touch issues with curved screens, opening wrong apps or incorrect typing issues. No thanks. I am getting curious about what they will bring with the 13, mostly for the battery, but it's going to have to be amazing to pull me away from Samsung. I'll very likely end up getting the S25 Ultra. I would love a bigger battery and faster charging, but my cameras are great and I love all the features Samsung has to offer in their software, and the pen comes in handy on occasion, when extreme accuracy is required. Maybe they need to make a One+ 13 Note or something, but I'll still have to see improvement in the software features. I mainly got Samsung for the ability to lock apps open to keep them running, which I need for my work apps. But, now I've gotten used to the ability to fully customize EVERYTHING in GoodLock. And I REALLY like Samsung Wallet for payments, more than Google Wallet. Though, it was much better when they had MST for handling phone payments on older card readers that didn't support phone payments... I'm still upset at Samsung for dropping MST. That was the one thing that made Samsung Pay better than Apple Pay. Now it's only equal. Their excuse was "nobody was using it" but that's a failure in marketing... Most people never knew their own phone could do that... That said, One+ has their work cut out if they want to gain any meaningful traction in the market, but I really hope they can pull it off. The 12 looks beautiful, and the battery, charging speeds and IR blaster are intriguing... The screen is awesome. They do quite a few things very well... If they could manage to do everything else on the same level, they'd have a real winner.

    Oneplus does landscape and all images fine except for the weird AI thing it does to everyones faces once it picks up one. Human photography on new Oneplus cameras with the regular photo is very mediocre. Especially that "brighten the subjects face" thing it does. People should really talk about that so Oneplus does something about it.

      I definitely believe so. As we approach 'end of season' for a lot of smartphones this time of year, we're seeing some good deals pop up, which makes some decisions tougher. But particularly at an MSRP level, the OP12 is still best in class compared to its competition. There's a pretty solid deal (with some free earbuds, too!) on the oneplus store currently (linked in description) Thanks for the kind words!

    After using the 8 pro for about ~2 years from launch and experiencing their oxygenOS 11-13, I definitely think they're heading in the right direction in terms of software. I still go back to my 8pro on occasion to play with and I love the changes they've presented with oxygen os 13. So much so that i'm considering going back to one plus just because I want to see it evolve. A few minor caveats I have between oxygen and samsungs oneUI is the password management, oxygen is a bit less seemless than oneUI as it doesn't bring up the password auto-fill when it should. The settings menu can be a bit more extensive, and it could use better power management options. I still much prefer oxygen to oneUI. I also don't find any benefit using a curved glass, it just makes it harder to produce glass screen protectors and gives it the unwanted halo effect.

      That's a great opinion, honestly! I love some Unihertz phones, and have been tempted for years to try it. Haven't heard of Ulefones, but they look neat and very similar. I think the best characterization I can offer is that phones are like watches to a certain extent. Sometimes they're priced astronomically because they're status symbols, are stylish, and represent something the user aspires to. I'm guilty of STILL liking the OnePlus "not like the rest, but better and cheaper" reputation, even though it's barely true anymore. Of course the humble $12 casio does all the right things, and there are fancier, more feature-rich watches around $100 that could set you for life. And then there are the luxury symbols. Idk. Not defending it. You have a good point!
