Always appreciate someone who gives credit where its due. Also when someone isn't afraid to go back over something when they might have not been as accurate as they thought they were. Shows a lot of integrity.
when a phone is almost half the price, yet challenges the most expensive biggest flagships on every aspect.. that says alot I've had my oneplus 12 for a couple of weeks now and after the updates it's such an amazing phone. It's lightning fast, charges fast, takes amazing pictures and yeah.. it does everything i need and it does it well . Samsung and Iphone probably have very good phones, but with that price tag, how can they compete other than the name of the brand.
@@vimalkumarr9892 it's very good on portraits and close ups. It takes good pictures and films from a car window driving 60 km/h But I think the newest Samsung might have better wide and far away pictures, but only slightly. Night camera is good and we just got an AI update for editing as well. I was in a wedding three days ago and some of the pictures were alot better than the big cameras from the hired photographers. So honestly I am very happy with the quality ☺️ only thing I don't like is when you put your phone on the side and take wide pictures, because then the photo becomes "small" Else I believe it to be top tier in most ways! But let me tell you about the battery. God the battery 😩 it's so nice to have my phone on for basicall 2 days. I can take pictures and listen to music and play games for an entire day before I have to charge. 100% in under 30 min?? It's so nice. So put everything together and the phone really is that good. Altho I want to say I miss the Huawei P30 pro because it did everything right,, but OnePlus 12 feels ALOT better than OnePlus 9 pro in every way and I would dare to say it beats the newest iPhone and Samsung on most categories if you consider the price as well.
Especially with said fastest charging brick and cable included.. not to mention 50 watt wireless charging(faster than the other two wired charging) wet touch screen, ir blaster, and other cool features you can't get at double the price smh
Bro such a geat video. Light flares, unbalanced highlights and over exposure issues in the city at night drive me nuts. My Pixel 7 struggles with it too. I'm sold on the OnePlus 12. I just shake my head everytime i plug in the pixel as well. So done with slow charging. Have the Realme GT 2 Pro and Moto Thinkphone which both have lighting fast charging..
I don't like night shots to look like daytime; as is the case with most flagship smartphones. Oneplus 12 night shots look more natural! good points and observations!
Thank you for your further observation about the Camara. The one plus 12 is so stacked with features and little nuances that it'll take some time to unlock its true potential. This phone is truly amazing indeed for the price.
I’ve been telling people on UA-cam about the OnePlus 12. The only reason that I bought a 15 ProMax is because literally everyone else in my family owns one. The eco system, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Apple Pay gets used religiously between me & my family members. If it weren’t for that, I definitely would’ve gotten the OnePlus 12. It’s a beast of a phone for the money that you spend.
Can Definitely see the difference in the pictures. I love that OnePlus is trying to compete with big apple and Samsung at a cheaper price but offering comparable if not better options. My wife has a mid-range one plus phone and she loves it. Another great video my guy...keep on repping KC
It's more like Apple and Samsung will be trying to compete with OnePlus. At this point it's not close. Fast- charging alone puts OnePlus on another level. All for hundreds less. It's becoming a stupid conversation
Alright this was the nail in the coffin for me. Haven't had a OnePlus since 7pro. But im ordering one now after being team samsung for 5 years and missing my 7 pro
Very rare to hear a UA-camr, let alone a tech reviewer admit that they were wrong. The thing I like about the OP12 camera at night especially is that if there's a light in the shot, then the camera will capture the light itself and not get stuck on the light that the light is producing.
It's like with 14 ultra still gets Updates and most make Not a review a month later cause need to send it back that's why I watch also UA-camr which bought the phone.
Had my 12 since re-order and am blown away by how good it is for the money. My sister has an older Fruit phone and I was going to buy her a newer one to upgrade as a gift for her birthday but the price of even a low rent modern Fruit phone was more than I paid for my 12. Needless to say I didn't go there and she'll just need to soldier on with her Fruit ecosystem a while longer. I am one of those people who get a bit anxious when I spend good money for something, but my angst about spending disappeared in a month. This phone is just great for most people's needs. If you are a phone snob you can spend more for it. But if you are a serious user of a phone that performs above its price point on most areas, the 12 is a great deal.
Just bought it yesterday. I'm an iPhone fan boy since the iPhone 3. My first android phone will be the OnePlus 12, so my android experience depends on this phone. I will like/love it or hate it and going back to iPhone never looking back at android. This was the first phone that I felt was worth the move to try android. Finger cross!
Nice video! I got the 12 in a rather unusual way....my OnePlus 7 Pro stopped charging due to its red cable getting frayed enough on the type c end to stop working. Tried another cable and that didn't work either....went into full panic mode as everything is on that phone and I don't backup. So, in my panic, I falsely assumed my battery went dead. Got a replacement battery kit w/tools for $20 and also sprung for a new phone, the OnePlus 12. Hadn't read any reviews just upgraded from a phone I enjoyed using, the OnePlus 7 Pro. The first thing I did was to take the new red cable and see if it charged my OnePlus 7 and, of course, it did. Bad luck for me for having two cables go bad at the same time. Remember, the most likely failure point is going to be the cable so always have a pristine unused cable on hand that you know will work. Upgrading from OnePlus 7 Pro to OnePlus 12 is quite a jump in quality features and I've been spending the last couple of days just getting into it. Lessons learned: * Buy a backup cable * Backup phone.
Yeah, we all have backup phones at our house. It's a must.. just like a backup car. People just don't get it. They'll break or lose their phones and then they are completely out of business and are forced into an immediate purchase situation where they don't even have time to shop. It's really nice to have two phones. You get double the features too.
@@wiredspeaker5658 Yeah, the camera rocks! Have you figured out the tilt-shift mode? It appears to set the focus where you want and nothing to do with a tilt-shift lens found on regular cameras.
@@Rick9482 sorry I'm still in shock that you ran a OnePlus 7 up until now. You could have called OnePlus and told them your story and they probably would have given you a free OnePlus 12. Marketing departments love that stuff. 😃
@@wiredspeaker5658 Well, like I said, I'm an older guy and really not into phones much at all. UA-cam and online banking are what I use it for mostly. On the OnePlus site, I wrote my story in my review of the OnePlus 12. I made a pitch for a free charging cable but a free phone wasn't even in my thoughts. If you're a OnePlus 12 user, can you explain "shift-tilt" function in camera settings?
A very honest review, especially with the details are given--regardless of which phone is being mentioned. Missing on the Internet in general and UA-cam more particular--guidance on just how to use those cameras on the OnePlus12. It seems that anyone owning a OnePlus12 is intimately familiar with how to use it and all its features.
Great content & well made. Subbed right away ! Loved it 🤩 This video single handedly pushed me over the edge to purchase the OP 12 (now waiting for it to arrive). I also watched the original video linked in the description. It would be awesome if you could release a remake of the original video, considering that all 3 phones (especially the OnePlus 12) have undergone some updates ranging from minor to major aspects of the camera. All the best, keep growing 💯😊
On the reciprocal, the OnePlus 12 also deals with extreme glare very well. My GF and I are avid ice hockey fans and go to games quite often. She is a devoted iPhone user and is currently using the 15 pro max. Still, she borrows my 12 at games to take photos of the players on the ice surface. The hasselblad color science does a far better job of filtering out the extreme glare from the ice surface. For whatever reason, she cannot get the same result from her 15 pro max. When comparing photos side by side from each device the OnePlus 12 clearly does a better job.
Not only it controlled the lights sources but manages to capture more details on the bricks and texts on the sign boards etc. good job. If they only improved the portrait shots in capturing more sharp details, then this phone would be hard to beat at the price.
Very much well explained and with side by side comparison to come across the differences in light flares, exposures and colors. It a very basic comparison tbh, but shows the difference in cameras during night shots. I give this a win for the Oneplus 12. Of course Apple and Samsung beats the 1+12 on other camera features but we can clearly see that Oneplus will be a major competetor for the 2. Major firmware and software updates will also be a very important key factor in terms of phone operation and camera features and performance. Keep up the good my good man!
I'm afraid after few updates the phone is not stable. I remember during OP7 community on reddit got crazy after several unstable update. And the same time the CEO Carl also quit from the company and OP merge with Oppo department and also our open beloved OS software gone. Now I'm in a decision to try it again.
Can be tedious, but the best combo you can ever have is Oneplus camera system + Google camera mod for your specific Oneplus phone. Please try this. You don't have to post a vid or anything. Just experience this. Its worth it.
Thank you for sharing this video comparing these general photographs at night. I found my photos of a night time bonfire using the oneplus 12 to be exactly the same as it was in real life. Minimal to no flares and color accuracy is impressive
One thing OnePlus has been doing very very well is controlling light source highlights in low light or noght time shots. This brand has been on top when ti comes to exposure control since their very early models like the OnePlus 5. And the most negative or drawback of this camera is the inability to capture sharp detailed faces of human subjects on portrait shots. I think it has improved a lot now but even with the last year model, the crisp facial details on portrait shots were always missing or less compared to its competitors like the samsung or iphone. They take very very detialed and sharp images of the subjects in portrait shots while OnePlus always failed to maintain those things. But we're seeing some positive changes and improvements now.
It would be nice if someone could take photos on the 12 with its launch software and take the identical photos again with the latest updates installed. If the software improvements have caused the phone to beat other flagships (running their latest software) this should be publicised.
Great honest review - Were these photos on the OnePlus taken using it's standard/auto settings or did you manually adjust the camera settings to get the best shot?
@@CEONTHEMAKING How about trying a vivo x100 phone a oppo find X7 phone xiaomi 14 ultra those cameras will beat up those camera phones you have their especially xiaomi 14 ultra
I hope that the United States does not decide to cancel a great brand like One Plus, just as it did unfairly with Huawei when it saw that it was growing.
I think the OP12 is one of the best all rounders you can get in the US. Especially if you're looking for dual physical sim support (curved/flat display preferences aside).
I am probably going to get this phone sometime this summer now that I have done a bunch of research over the last month. Because it has received so many positive reviews since its release, I have literally been waiting to see videos with the exact title "I Was Wrong About The Oneplus 12..." pop up, just so i could see the good and bad of the phone. In a huge surprise to me, the first such video I have seen is actually giving more praise and credit to this phone 😆
Great video, man! Because of your review, I got mine yesterday. It's a phenomenal phone. It's like using a phone between S24U and S24+. Lastly, the price to performance is hard to beat. Unless brand is important to a consumer. Kudos!
Most reviews I have read on UA-cam say that the Oneplus 12 is the worst at night photography. But you images clearly show that it is the best. The Oneplus 12 effort in the photo comparison of the pink sign is impressive. Sign is perfect and foreground and background are perfect. Much more detail than either of the others.
Just looking for the best performing Android phone in terms of primarily the most flattering, natural looking and pleasing skin tone selfie camera, min. 90W wired charging, with no heating issues during charging and in general, with a minimalistic yet customizable OS. Looking into the 14 Ultra, OP 12, X100 Pro, Oppo Find 7X Ultra and some of the Sony phones. Can't decide! Which one has the absolutely most pleasing looking selfie camera performance between these, with the other criterias in place?
But this is insane thing that OnePlus 12's battery health will decreases by 20% after 1600 charge cycle while other phones's battery health decreases by 20% after 500 to 600 charge cycle and galaxy s23 ultra and 24 ultra has 1000 charge cycle.. Which is seriously insane. So even after 4 years of usage OnePlus 12 will still remain with around 4300 mah battery which almost enough to get through entire day and another advantage is that it takes only 30 minutes to charge 0-100%
I have OnePlus 12 and iPhone 14. Granted, the 14 isn't quite the 15 Pro Max, but the night photos on the OnePlus 12 are spectacular. And then add the fast charging, incredible screen and so on and the result is, in my opinion, the best phone you can buy right now.
3:31 Not to take away how great the photos are, Oneplus' image also has a slight reflection of the sign "country road" just around the lower front wheels albeit being very faint. Just pointing it out.
side by side regular pics are almost identical compared to the 24 ultra even in day light and sometimes even better time to time. Why can we not just say that? Why do people suck that Samsung and iphone D so hard, are you all paid or do youtubers feel pressure to not say anything negative about Samsung or Iphone?... Seen so many comparisons now and side by side when it comes to pictures it is just as good on One plus as it is for 24 Ultra. You are the first youtuber that has the balls coming out saying one plus is just as good in some cases. Other youtubers playing down the one plus for some reason, like they are in a damm cult for the samsung and iphone or something, fu crazy.
"For some reason" is that they make more ad revenue on Samsung and iphone reviews. And to continue piggybacking off the algorithm boosting Samsung and Iphone, OnePlus reviews will often put those other phones in the title of a OnePlus review. It's quite simple and obvious.
because when you spend so much money, you want it to be good until some other competeter does it better for much less money then you auto get into angry mode and you start sucking that D jsut to justify your choice
The thing with one plus is that many cant use it in the right way. One plus camera with Hasselblad is not just a camera you snap a photo right from your pocket, well you can do that but if you really take your time and learn about the master pro mode you can come out with pictures you would not even believe.
In my extensive personal testing, the OnePlus 12 has been the best smartphone photography (behind the Pixel 8 Pro, which I no longer have.) My ranking for phones I currently own: - OnePlus 12 - S23 Ultra - iPhone 15 Pro Max The detail that the OnePlus 12 captures is very good, especially from its 3x periscope telephoto.
This smartphone is worth it, I really liked the design, I recently purchased One plus 12R (genshin impact Limited edition), and I’m simply amazed at how hard they tried to make this device)
Thank you for your video! How is the OnePlus 12's modem and battery life? We tried an iPhone 15 Pro, but the batteries never lasted five hours. We swapped them for iPhone 15 Pro Maxs and could not maintain decent call signals. We also never had 5G service. I thought aboout getting Samsung S24 Ultras, primarily because of the alleged stronger modem and longer software support. What are your thoughts? Thank you. JP
The mind boggling thing here is not that oneplus isnt as the top performer in some ascpects, its the fact that its being compared to phones way above its category
do you think lens flare and reflections are due to the coating or sapphire on iPhone? Also, both Samsung and iPhone have very aggressive post processing, which maybe explains why they excel at day photography in perfect ideal conditions, but they struggle at night, where the software decision are exposed more. i'm just guessing, because it seems like the oneplus does less software stuff so stuff looks less exciting, but there's less wonky pictures, more consistent overall
The iPhone uses sapphire glass to cause reflection. One thing you said is wrong. One plus actually uses a more powerful algorithm from its sister company oppo.
Hello everyone. Can you please tell me how long the battery will last? I have 9+ and can't use it for more than 7 hours without charging. Any improvement for this model? Thank you
I was using oneplus9pro 4-5 years.. im still satisfied with how my phone perform. Only wifi stopped working and i tried everything. I even reset phone to old version updates but it didn't work. So tomorrow im going to buy oneplus12 😊 I can't wait for it. Oneplus is having best phones out there comparing every phone on market in same price range. It perform great with cameras, snapdragon 8 is crazy for games, and battery is freaking awesome 😎
I saw a couple of sample photos comparing it to other flagships with night time photos and I immediately knew it was way better than others. Night photos are the only way to compare camera quality on the phones. And right now OnePlus is a leader at least in USA since we don't have some of those Chinese competitors in America like vivo, xiaomi etc. Overall iPhone is still the best because of the video quality, Samsung comes in for the Zoom features at second best and OnePlus might take over the whole thing next year if they add some better zoom capabilities and video quality.
Then possibly the camera performance is being improved in the latest version? Compared to what it was in previous version as you stated ( your previous review was opposite of this review)
I only showed two night-time photos in the 1st video. Both of those photos are in this video too. All the other photos in this video were after the update.
@@CEONTHEMAKING okay that's clear for me and makes me conclude the photos were still good before this latest update...So hardly anything changed after the latest update interms of rear camera photography!; I was bit overwhelmed thinking there was a improvement in photography after this update since i haven't updated to latest version and probably i won't because of new issues (battery drain) ...
Hi, I'm currently using a pixel 6. I'm tossing up between a Pixel 8 vs one plus 12. I lost hope withe samsung because the camera lag is real. Taking a photo of my kids moving I'm getting consistent shots on my pixel, samsung 23+ is blurred. I wanted to know if oneplus 12 also has that shutter lag for moving subjects. Also op12 is $720, and Pixel 8 256 is $530.
I want to buy a good camera , espiecially in low light, one+12 is ok? I can buy Honor magic 5 pro, One+12 i the same money. Which is better in camera and overall. Thanks for help.
I've had the complete opposite experience with the one plus 12 to others, mainly the tech reviewers. The battery sucked. Cameras were about a 6/10 Night shots were horrible
I have the S24 Ultra and my Brother the OP12 and yes. For less price it gives excellent results to fight the S24 Ultra. Sometimes i think i should have picked the OP12 😅.
Excellent honest camera review of the OnePlus 12. Your review helped me decide that I will definitely upgrade from my OP 9pro (great overall phone for me the past 3 years) to the 12 soon. Also, the battery life is second to none.
Always appreciate someone who gives credit where its due. Also when someone isn't afraid to go back over something when they might have not been as accurate as they thought they were. Shows a lot of integrity.
I've had the Oneplus 12 for a month and with the updates, the camera is phenomenal, especially at night. I am very happy with it.😁

The hasselblad color science does a far better job of filtering out the extreme glare from the ice surface. For whatever reason, she cannot get the same result from her 15 pro max. When comparing photos side by side from each device the OnePlus 12 clearly does a better job.
Not only it controlled the lights sources but manages to capture more details on the bricks and texts on the sign boards etc. good job. If they only improved the portrait shots in capturing more sharp details, then this phone would be hard to beat at the price.
Very much well explained and with side by side comparison to come across the differences in light flares, exposures and colors. It a very basic comparison tbh, but shows the difference in cameras during night shots. I give this a win for the Oneplus 12. Of course Apple and Samsung beats the 1+12 on other camera features but we can clearly see that Oneplus will be a major competetor for the 2. Major firmware and software updates will also be a very important key factor in terms of phone operation and camera features and performance. Keep up the good my good man!
I’d encourage you to do a OP11 comparison with current updates.
You have a very good eye.
Nice, good improvement for OnePlus
I'm afraid after few updates the phone is not stable. I remember during OP7 community on reddit got crazy after several unstable update. And the same time the CEO Carl also quit from the company and OP merge with Oppo department and also our open beloved OS software gone. Now I'm in a decision to try it again.
@@fan_dan_go1545 never settle for a reason
Can be tedious, but the best combo you can ever have is Oneplus camera system + Google camera mod for your specific Oneplus phone. Please try this. You don't have to post a vid or anything. Just experience this. Its worth it.
Obviously the OnePlus 12 is the best given its the cheapest by a long way.
Thank you for sharing this video comparing these general photographs at night. I found my photos of a night time bonfire using the oneplus 12 to be exactly the same as it was in real life. Minimal to no flares and color accuracy is impressive
Does one plus 12 have a green line issue?? I am nervous about that, so i havent bought it yet.
One thing OnePlus has been doing very very well is controlling light source highlights in low light or noght time shots. This brand has been on top when ti comes to exposure control since their very early models like the OnePlus 5. And the most negative or drawback of this camera is the inability to capture sharp detailed faces of human subjects on portrait shots. I think it has improved a lot now but even with the last year model, the crisp facial details on portrait shots were always missing or less compared to its competitors like the samsung or iphone. They take very very detialed and sharp images of the subjects in portrait shots while OnePlus always failed to maintain those things. But we're seeing some positive changes and improvements now.
Because oneplus 12 is using sony that's why is good. Sony is the best in camera.
The telephoto lens is practical from a China manufacturer.
It would be nice if someone could take photos on the 12 with its launch software and take the identical photos again with the latest updates installed. If the software improvements have caused the phone to beat other flagships (running their latest software) this should be publicised.
I am using OnePlus 12 since February so far this phone is a beast.
What about the camera and video quality
@@santoshpant2836 its good
Great honest review - Were these photos on the OnePlus taken using it's standard/auto settings or did you manually adjust the camera settings to get the best shot?
Automatic
@@CEONTHEMAKING Thanks for confirming buddy :-)
@@CEONTHEMAKING How about trying a vivo x100 phone a oppo find X7 phone xiaomi 14 ultra those cameras will beat up those camera phones you have their especially xiaomi 14 ultra
Thank you for this video. This is what us viewers are looking for from a Tech Reviewer. Honest, non-biased reviews.
I hope that the United States does not decide to cancel a great brand like One Plus, just as it did unfairly with Huawei when it saw that it was growing.
I think the OP12 is one of the best all rounders you can get in the US. Especially if you're looking for dual physical sim support (curved/flat display preferences aside).
I am probably going to get this phone sometime this summer now that I have done a bunch of research over the last month. Because it has received so many positive reviews since its release, I have literally been waiting to see videos with the exact title "I Was Wrong About The Oneplus 12..." pop up, just so i could see the good and bad of the phone. In a huge surprise to me, the first such video I have seen is actually giving more praise and credit to this phone 😆
Saw this vid, got it a week ago, you are right, fantastic phone! and the battery life is amazing! Thx for the review!
I bought the One Plus 12 white colour , 512 GB from Trading Shenzhen site for £250 cheaper than in the UK.
Hi, I'm tempted to buy from Shenzhen too, does it Work well even its a china version? I mean the cemeras, network... Thanks
Was it a flashed rom I heard they open the box and flash some software before they ship
What settings did you use to take these pictures? night mode?
Yea
@CEONTHEMAKING they look fantastic 👍
One thing pushing me away from OnePlus12 is the opticla sensor instead of ultrasonic.
Great video, man! Because of your review, I got mine yesterday. It's a phenomenal phone. It's like using a phone between S24U and S24+. Lastly, the price to performance is hard to beat. Unless brand is important to a consumer. Kudos!
Most reviews I have read on UA-cam say that the Oneplus 12 is the worst at night photography. But you images clearly show that it is the best. The Oneplus 12 effort in the photo comparison of the pink sign is impressive. Sign is perfect and foreground and background are perfect. Much more detail than either of the others.
Just looking for the best performing Android phone in terms of primarily the most flattering, natural looking and pleasing skin tone selfie camera, min. 90W wired charging, with no heating issues during charging and in general, with a minimalistic yet customizable OS. Looking into the 14 Ultra, OP 12, X100 Pro, Oppo Find 7X Ultra and some of the Sony phones. Can't decide! Which one has the absolutely most pleasing looking selfie camera performance between these, with the other criterias in place?
But this is insane thing that OnePlus 12's battery health will decreases by 20% after 1600 charge cycle while other phones's battery health decreases by 20% after 500 to 600 charge cycle and galaxy s23 ultra and 24 ultra has 1000 charge cycle.. Which is seriously insane. So even after 4 years of usage OnePlus 12 will still remain with around 4300 mah battery which almost enough to get through entire day and another advantage is that it takes only 30 minutes to charge 0-100%
I have OnePlus 12 and iPhone 14. Granted, the 14 isn't quite the 15 Pro Max, but the night photos on the OnePlus 12 are spectacular. And then add the fast charging, incredible screen and so on and the result is, in my opinion, the best phone you can buy right now.
Got my oneplus 12 (Black) love it.
3:31 Not to take away how great the photos are, Oneplus' image also has a slight reflection of the sign "country road" just around the lower front wheels albeit being very faint. Just pointing it out.
oh you´re right, didnt even notice until you pointed it out! its probably more noticeable with movies.
Wow. I give you a lot of credit for going back and giving the OnePlus 12 more credit. Kudos to you brother 👍🏾 👍🏾.
side by side regular pics are almost identical compared to the 24 ultra even in day light and sometimes even better time to time. Why can we not just say that? Why do people suck that Samsung and iphone D so hard, are you all paid or do youtubers feel pressure to not say anything negative about Samsung or Iphone?... Seen so many comparisons now and side by side when it comes to pictures it is just as good on One plus as it is for 24 Ultra.
You are the first youtuber that has the balls coming out saying one plus is just as good in some cases. Other youtubers playing down the one plus for some reason, like they are in a damm cult for the samsung and iphone or something, fu crazy.
"For some reason" is that they make more ad revenue on Samsung and iphone reviews. And to continue piggybacking off the algorithm boosting Samsung and Iphone, OnePlus reviews will often put those other phones in the title of a OnePlus review.
It's quite simple and obvious.
because when you spend so much money, you want it to be good until some other competeter does it better for much less money then you auto get into angry mode
and you start sucking that D jsut to justify your choice
human psychology is interestinng isn't it
low key anger + disapointment
The thing with one plus is that many cant use it in the right way. One plus camera with Hasselblad is not just a camera you snap a photo right from your pocket, well you can do that but if you really take your time and learn about the master pro mode you can come out with pictures you would not even believe.
How to learn more
@@randomadskipper3855 yes,how to learn please...😊
The lighter background generally is noise... The OnePlus 12 is oversharpened and overbrightened in those pictures. It is the night, after all.
In my extensive personal testing, the OnePlus 12 has been the best smartphone photography (behind the Pixel 8 Pro, which I no longer have.)
My ranking for phones I currently own:
- OnePlus 12
- S23 Ultra
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
The detail that the OnePlus 12 captures is very good, especially from its 3x periscope telephoto.
Apple's sensors are older inferior hardware.
You also compared 120 fps on one phone with 240 fps on another. I'm still wondering why
What that gotta do with this video lol...the oneplus has either 240 or 480 fps in 1080p
This smartphone is worth it, I really liked the design, I recently purchased One plus 12R (genshin impact Limited edition), and I’m simply amazed at how hard they tried to make this device)
It’s true ,I always used my one plus took photo at night time /Christmas light /city night time …only ues iPhone when day time 😅
Thank you for your video! How is the OnePlus 12's modem and battery life? We tried an iPhone 15 Pro, but the batteries never lasted five hours. We swapped them for iPhone 15 Pro Maxs and could not maintain decent call signals. We also never had 5G service. I thought aboout getting Samsung S24 Ultras, primarily because of the alleged stronger modem and longer software support. What are your thoughts? Thank you. JP
Самсунг только если это процессор qualcom , с exenos всё будет ужасно
You gave me my hope back 🎉 But what about the front camera still not very good? 😅
first I thought Morgan Freeman was doing the review 😂
The mind boggling thing here is not that oneplus isnt as the top performer in some ascpects, its the fact that its being compared to phones way above its category
Can you elaborate its video quality ability to maintain dynamic range and you should move around while making such videos
do you think lens flare and reflections are due to the coating or sapphire on iPhone? Also, both Samsung and iPhone have very aggressive post processing, which maybe explains why they excel at day photography in perfect ideal conditions, but they struggle at night, where the software decision are exposed more. i'm just guessing, because it seems like the oneplus does less software stuff so stuff looks less exciting, but there's less wonky pictures, more consistent overall
The iPhone uses sapphire glass to cause reflection. One thing you said is wrong. One plus actually uses a more powerful algorithm from its sister company oppo.
Hello everyone. Can you please tell me how long the battery will last? I have 9+ and can't use it for more than 7 hours without charging. Any improvement for this model? Thank you
This one have improved battery a lot but if that's what you want go for honor magic 6 pro buddy
I was using oneplus9pro 4-5 years.. im still satisfied with how my phone perform. Only wifi stopped working and i tried everything. I even reset phone to old version updates but it didn't work. So tomorrow im going to buy oneplus12 😊 I can't wait for it. Oneplus is having best phones out there comparing every phone on market in same price range. It perform great with cameras, snapdragon 8 is crazy for games, and battery is freaking awesome 😎
I saw a couple of sample photos comparing it to other flagships with night time photos and I immediately knew it was way better than others.
Night photos are the only way to compare camera quality on the phones. And right now OnePlus is a leader at least in USA since we don't have some of those Chinese competitors in America like vivo, xiaomi etc.
Overall iPhone is still the best because of the video quality, Samsung comes in for the Zoom features at second best and OnePlus might take over the whole thing next year if they add some better zoom capabilities and video quality.
Great video. Alot of reviewers was down playing the oneplus cameras. But they are great. Im tempted to try one plus out over samsung.
Oh wow, did not see that coming from OnePlus 12.
Now the One Plus is even with the camera updates it got couple weeks ago.
Can you please tell which software version the One plus 12 was having when taking these photos?
The latest
Then possibly the camera performance is being improved in the latest version? Compared to what it was in previous version as you stated ( your previous review was opposite of this review)
I only showed two night-time photos in the 1st video. Both of those photos are in this video too. All the other photos in this video were after the update.
@@CEONTHEMAKING okay that's clear for me and makes me conclude the photos were still good before this latest update...So hardly anything changed after the latest update interms of rear camera photography!; I was bit overwhelmed thinking there was a improvement in photography after this update since i haven't updated to latest version and probably i won't because of new issues (battery drain) ...
I need honest opinion. Is one plus quality as good as samsung, apple… also in terms of customer service, regular software updates?
No, it isn't.
Xiaomi processing looks like joke compared to OnePlus or Realme now 😆
Hi, I'm currently using a pixel 6. I'm tossing up between a Pixel 8 vs one plus 12. I lost hope withe samsung because the camera lag is real. Taking a photo of my kids moving I'm getting consistent shots on my pixel, samsung 23+ is blurred.
I wanted to know if oneplus 12 also has that shutter lag for moving subjects. Also op12 is $720, and Pixel 8 256 is $530.
Subbed for your fairness and objectiveness. 👍❤
Great! I would really like to buy one, I have the 9 Pro, but in Brazil it's impossible.
Could you import it? (From the US for example)
@@enchantedrockview I don't think so, I can't take the risk of arriving in Brazil and paying another 92% tax
@@LeonardoReis78 OMG that's crazy!!!!!!!

I have a OnePlus 12 and iPhone 15 Pro (not max). I often prefer the photos on the OnePlus, quite frankly
Thanks for the great video. Didnt expect this. For the price the OP12 is super.
great video, which phone case is used in this video.

I want to buy a good camera , espiecially in low light, one+12 is ok? I can buy Honor magic 5 pro, One+12 i the same money. Which is better in camera and overall. Thanks for help.
I recommend u op 12
OnePlus 12, without a doubt. Honor has that disgusting "dynamic island", making it look like a cheap iPhone copy.
I can agree with these samples but I just don’t like curved screens.
I've had the complete opposite experience with the one plus 12 to others, mainly the tech reviewers.
The battery sucked.
Cameras were about a 6/10
Night shots were horrible
The iPhone phots are slipping in quality, it seems that they are not trying to compete anymore.
I have the S24 Ultra and my Brother the OP12 and yes. For less price it gives excellent results to fight the S24 Ultra.
Sometimes i think i should have picked the OP12 😅.
Im curious, do you still have the moving company?
Nah not anymore
Excellent honest camera review of the OnePlus 12. Your review helped me decide that I will definitely upgrade from my OP 9pro (great overall phone for me the past 3 years) to the 12 soon. Also, the battery life is second to none.
Oneplus have bigger battery now and extra battery health technology 1600 cycles before 80% capacity
You came with the heat on this one bruh.
Thanks bro
one plus 12 has a great camera only issue is the front video ony being 1080p
Is indian version a color os?
Amazing considering the OnePlus is generally several hundred dollars cheaper than the other two!
Watching On My One Plus 12 😅
Great video bro!
Thank you bro
Hello what better s23u vs op12??
Better at what
