OnePlus 12 Six Months Later - Still the Best Value?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- 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?

Also if OnePlus is listening, I need a filter that removes armpit sweat from my selfie videos ASAP. This is very important to me, and I expect it in the next update.

whats the major glitch you noticed? wifi 5g data and BT issues?also are there any security issues using chinese phone with banking?
@@user-li6ns2lk3z No major issues that I've noticed. That wifi indicator just overexaggerates how good your wifi is. As far as security goes, the Chinese government is set up to gain access to Chinese companies' data in 'the interest of national security'. It's set up virtually identically to the Patriot Act in the U.S. However, this data access legally extends only to the data that a given company houses on Chinese servers. Not only does this implicate countless American companies (which utilize Chinese server farms), but it also limits the extent of that data. OnePlus (not Google through Android, nor any of my non-Chinese apps) has access to relatively little data.
Also, like I said....I'm poor as hell, so even if a foreign government could access my banking details, why the hell would they, and what would it get them? Nothing ;)
@@Wildman-Tech wow thats a lot of info. learned a lot thanks😁👍
Yes, the importantest! ✌️
I agree and relate fully to your last paragraph especially! Lol. Any scammers would be infog a surprise! Lol!
this has to be one of the cleanest review !!
you're too kind, thanks!!
Agreed yet most content creators will give the awards to Apple & Samsung 😢 I couldn't do that this year if I had any kind of conscience or wanting to have credibility throughout my career then again that's just me.
You’re the first reviewer I’ve seen say what I’ve been thinking. If Google was smart, they’d buy the OnePlus design, put their name & OS with features on it, and sell it as a Pixel.
How did you manage to make a review covering the most complicated, geek appealing details while still making it sound so simple and comprehensive?!!
Oh man, that puts a smile on my face! It's all I'm trying to do here haha
its not the best value phone. it's the best flagship of 2024. having galaxy s24 ultra and iphone 15 max i can safely say oneplus is finally back again. the last great oneplus phone was 7 pro.
The 7-pro was a great phone. Even if it did rely heavily on a few gimmicky features like the pop-up camera as selling points. Still, minus the 10T the 8, 9 and 10 series we're strong devices. Unfortunately, they weren't a great value for the prices they were asking. However, last year's 11 and this year's 12 have really proven to be strong offerings for the money. Personally, I love my 11 and 12.
Well, the one thing I don't like about OnePlus is the curved glass and less software support.
@@xiondFirst curved glass has a far more premium look than a flat screen. In addition, it is also more ergonomic and easier to hold.
As far as software support is concerned, 4 years of OS updates with 5 years of security patches is perfect. The 7 years of support that Google and Samsung offers is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. Very few people will keep a device for that length of time.
Still using the OnePlus 7 pro myself but might finally have to upgrade again.
No way it's better than an iPhone I call cap on that
Brother trust me, this is one of the best and honest reviews i ve ever seen. Keep up the good work.❤🎉
Great video man! Your writing and pacing is solid. Watching on my OP12 😌
How wide is the phone? I can’t decide if I should stick with iPhone or get one of these guys
I love your creative style and touch of tech news included with this review. Keep up the great work!
Got 12 16/512 about 4 months ago as an upgrade to my 10 Pro 8/256. Much better camera stack and quality, 100W charging and awesome battery life. For the price highly recommended.
Been waiting for this update thank you
You just got yourself a new subscriber! Love the style of your review🎉
the only 6 months later review that actually talks about the 6 months of use instead of full review the phone again. Thanks for the video. I want a small phone too but there is not a phone that doesnt have a issue about battery or UI so im gonna continue with oneplus even though its a huge phone with curved screen
Using since launch... its a beautiful and reliable device
Great video, I absolutely love my OnePlus 12, I purchased a Dexnor armour case that comes with a built in screen protector, amazing case and well worth it keeps my beautiful phone in perfect condition.
Thanks. Appreciated immensely. 👍
I am going to buy it tomorrow. All your videos helped me to make the decision. Thanks 👍🏻
I think it's an awesome choice! You're gonna love it
I am using it for past month, it's awesome
Might be best to wait for the OnePlus 13?
@@ShardstapoRotmg it's always better to wait but u know what? ( Only if ip68 matters) , or else it's perfect mobile has reached its peak
I already bought this phone 📱 amazing it will come tomorrow 😄 i am happy
@Wildman-Tech great review in pointing everything in detail! Also what you said on the phone about a flat screen and being smaller i think OnePlus should make two models for the persons who like flat screens and the persons who like curved screens. I think they would get more people to buy their phones
Damn, seems like the sort of review that belongs on a 1-million-sub channel. Keep up the great work.
627th subscriber. Loved the delivery and flow of the video. Looking forward to more content.
What a review man🔥🔥. Doing God's work!. Unsponsored reviews are the future💯
I am watching with my OnePlus 12 awesome device ❤❤❤
Wow that was a grounded update review on the OnePlus 12 - I love it!
Please keep doing your thoroughly funny, pure and raw style content and have fun using your OP12 for the next years to come 😉 Greetings from Berlin ✌🏻
I appreciate it!!
Best review I have seen in the last 6 months ❤
amazing review! very detailed and entertaining. You're going to be big one day. Keep up the good work👍👍
Great review content! I'm getting one after watching this!👍
Really great review and update on this device. I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max but this is a brand I’m increasingly interested in.
I made the switch I don't regret it. I had an iPhone 13.
Amazing review, man. Loved the vibe and background. Here before 100k 😆
Bro this a great review, love the tone and humor of it
Awesome work keep up your style you'll be on of the greats
Great review just got a new fan very detailed realistic and feel human
Really nice and honest review mate. Compared to other top reviewers, you showed respect for the product. ❤🎉
G just earned a subscriber with this level of clean review.
Apparently this is the best OnePlus 12 review out there ❤
Hey great review, underrated! wishing you with more subscribers 😊
Thank you so much!
that is a wild review man 😍
Loved this review. Looking forward to see more.
Great video, I bought a Dexnor armour case for mine OnePlus 12, around $30 AUD and it is a bullet proof case, with a plastic screen protector insert built in, amazing quality and I use a tempered glass camera lens protector on mine also but seriously the Dexnor case is amazing.
Such a good review, looks honest, thanks!
Excellent video bro I too have had my op 12 since February 4th pre ordered mine and traded in my op 11 so I got the 16 gig variant for 420 bucks. It's the best all around phone imo. I do agree with the mic issues and completely agree the front camera needs to be 4k 60 at least other than that I love the phone so much. The smoothness of the os is unmatched imo. I love the camera modules They are beautiful imo looks super nice. Photo quality is sooo damn good with master mode, overall pointing and shooting is excellent 95 percent of time do wish zooming telephoto was better. I'm spoiled by super vooc charging I've had op phones since the 9 pro 4 years in a row. And I can't tell you how many times my phone would be low randomly and the charging always comes in clutch.
This is what I call a GENUINE REVIEW 🎉
No way. I watched this thinking this guy should have at least half a million subscribers.
What an elegantly paced review!
Just got it yesterday. I had iPhone 15 pro Max and changed to this and i am way to happy with it.
Can you tell me where you ordered it from?
@@Bolty47 i got it from E-ville.com for 900€ and went with the emerald green 512gb 16gb ram
How is it? Does it fall in line with this video?
@@walterwhite42068 Yes it does. I had hard believing everything until i noticed everything myself. Seriously this phone is a beast. I changed from 15 pro max to Emerald green 512GB 16GB Ram.
@@walterwhite42068 The selfie camera is crisp asf tho compared to what he is saying.
Watching your video and admiring my OP12 at same time lol.
Haha that's how it's done 😎🤝🏼
Dude you are doing a really great job you should upload regular videos🙂.
Great video. Enjoyed all your OnePlus content. Any plans on doing a review on the smart watch? Is that a OnePlus watch?
It's a Garmin smartwatch, but it's up next! I have a lot of opinions about smartwatches, so I've been looking forward to talking about it
Love the content colour grading with good voice everything is just top notch but whyy you got only 429subs you're making content as if you got 4M subs Good work bruh! Also which phone should i get s23U or 1+ 12 wanted to use my device for long run
You're too kind! I'll get there eventually.
S23U is still a great phone, and probably somewhat close to being as affordable as the OP12 now. I think I'd still go for the OP12 for myself, as the SD8 Gen3 is an outstanding processor, and the battery is excellent, but they're so close that I'd suggest looking at reviews of OxygenOS vs One UI. The two phones should perform roughly the same for at least a couple years still.
why this guy don't have so many followers.. that's a clean review
Great review. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. The OP12 is easily the best OP phone ive owned and ive literelly owned all of them including the Open.
dude your voice is very relaxing i want to sleep 😅❤
I'm watching this video from my OnePlus 12 , I totally agree with you 👍
What a good review!
Thank you! You are dedicated!
Thanks for the video. It's my first time here. Really enjoyed, you're calm and informative. I like that. By the way, could you use another phone and give us your opinion? For example the Google pixel 8 Pro.
Nice video 🎉
8:50 you sweated :D :DDD
I ordered one of these during the Bezos Super Sale Days, got the 256gb version for $599. Thrilled to try it out!
Good, job! Yes, so true about the people putting their sim back in the phone and trying it 6 months later. I had forgotten about video out, but after goggling got reminded that it is only mirroring. Moto edge has a very good desktop mode (I hear).
I'm gonna check out that case you got. I got the fake wood one and the "sandstone" (both from oneplus) neither are fun in the hand feel wise.
Yes curved glass is a bummer. In google photos the video editor has a trim slider that I can't use near the edges, because of the curved glass.
Such a good point about the curved glass - a lot of apps (including stock Android apps) are not built with curved edges in mind, and it makes it such a pain.
I loved your review style brother. I bought this 2 days ago as my work phone, a few months ago I got an honor magic 6 Pro to replace my aging Huawei mate 40 pro as my personal phone. 👍👍👌
Thanks for the kind words - I'm digging your music!
@@Wildman-Tech thanks bro
I am already using OnePlus 12 and 1st time using OP phone switched from my samsung phone, i literally say that it is beast means best phone in this price range it is very good in each and every manner.
Very honest review!
Such a good review. Was planning to buy it by my iPhone 11 is functional. And the OP12 is costly in Sweden.
But the heavy part is scary, I’m already bothered by the iPhone 11 which is kinda compact
Personally, I chose the silky black. I outfitted it with the OEM aramid carbon fiber case with a rounded black tempered glass camera lens protector. It gives it that futuristic race car look. Sorry, I really wasn't feeling the green kitchen tile motif.🤣 Regardless, it's a great phone and I have zero complaints.
I had S24 U for a month, but returned it yesterday. Just ordered Oneplus 12, I hope the minor things that made me return won't be present in the new one. For exemple, raise to wake was the main reason (worked 50/50, and I'm a not a fan of AOD), other was the speaker present on the left side of the phone, very easy to block with little finger. Camera shots, sometimes were too oversharpen. With a protection case, was hard to maneuver. Comming from Xiaomi 9T Pro, the OneUI was a bit too diferent for my tastes. Hope for the best with the OnePlus 12, and great video by the way, also love your shirt !
Have you got oneplus 12 . Hows the phone
@@libinbalakrishnan4940 The only drawback so far is the camera with white tones, but still better than oversaturated S24U made, and the low volume on speaker calls.
@@libinbalakrishnan4940 is great
Nice Review. You hit on the same issue i had with my Oneplus, which is the 5G signal being lower than it shows, but I learned that it is a carrier's side of issues. I am a Oneplus 10pro owner, and owned two previous versions.. I can say that Oneplus' hallmark is value, battery life and charge speed. I think there is only HONOR could beat that. My only gripe is that the color of photo taking is never true to the real objects. When I used the pro mode to adjust the color temperature to what i thought was closer to real-life color, but when i sent the file out to others, the others would tell me that the images were artificially filtered, which led to two guess the color accuracy coming out of the phone. I am a designer, and color accuracy is important for me to communicate precisely with clients and trades. Unfortunately, this problem has never been resolved with Hasselblad. I saw galaxy and iphone could show the color that is true to real life with their screen in previous versions. I wonder if anyone has this issue too, and if 12 has it resolved as i may be in the market to shop for new phone again. Any advice to resolve this color issue would get me return to Oneplus again. THX
One of the best review I have seen for a while.
I've been using OnePlus 12 for roughly 6 months now and my review would be similar to yours.
The only thing I disagree with you is about the Alert Slider, since I don't use smart watch 🤣
Having said that, really loved your review, and my man, you've earned a subscriber today!
i am having a 0neplus12 and its awesome
Only thing you didn't mention is the software feature to change the color temperature according to the ambient lighting. I owned a OP11 and it was the biggest feature I missed in different software
Hello from Greece!! I like very much your videos!! The reviews is so full of informations and it seems really honest! I have an idea if you are interested..can you make a tutorial video with nova prime launcher? Keep your good work!
In my experience the OnePlus 12 is not very friendly towards 3rd party launchers like Nova, that is - if you are using the gesture navigation.
I have tried Nova, Lawnchair and Niagra and all of them have a very noticeable delay when using the 'home' gesture. That is the main reason why I still use the stock launcher.
But if this weird delay issue ever gets patches out, I'm going back to Nova.
@@ravishankarsatheesh1901 alright thanks 👍
Watching from my S10lite....excellent smartphone without 5G features...
Wonderful review! I have been enjoying my OP 12 as well without any issues so far.
Could you help me with that game at 6:03 ?
For sure! It's Diablo Immortal. Definitely a pay-to-win stereotype, but it's beautiful and pretty good gameplay.
great review
been using Oneplus 12 too since first week of january this year. mine is china variant (16gb / 1TB) got it for $775 but flashed to global rom. so far no problem to my 1+12. i'm very satisfied with its performance from camera, UI, gaming, and especially battery performance.
before owning 1+12, i used to carry 2 phone (my primary S22 Ultra and a backup phone - Huawei P50 Pro) both can only do 4~5hrs SoT. after i got 1+12 i no longer bring 2 phones. its an all rounder phone it takes good photos than my previous, doesn't heat much when gaming, also screen time on 1+12 can give me an average of 8hrs everyday.
then you’re a heavy user. i had the s24 ultra which always gave me more than 10 hours screen time, but the one plus 12 should give even more than that, 12 hours at least.
My last oneplus was the oneplus 8, in the aurora blue color. Love and miss that phone. I regretted trading it in for the S20FE5G. But also heard oneplus was taking and selling data so it’s kind of had me stand off ish from OP phones. But may give it another try because I read they tightened up their practice with data. Don’t need my account charged overseas like I’ve had before. (Not by op just in general).
Watching this on my OP12 and yes, not much complaints from me too.its a great phone! Maybe smaller size and camera set up? 😅
Would love to see a pixel 8 review or the 9 whzn that comes out thank you
The quad curved display, if it follows what Xiaomi is doing, means that it's basically a flat panel with micro curves on all four sides. Personally I prefer the curved display
Hello, very good review. Thank you. I have heard about scrolling issues after switching apps, especially in Chrome. In fact, I observed it myself at a store. After switching between apps and back to Chrome again, there's a noticeable freeze of 1-2 seconds. Have heard that it happens with other apps too. How was your experience with that?
I have noticed a delay of no more than a second with Chrome specifically. To be honest I never even noticed it until you mentioned it, but it's definitely there
@@Wildman-Tech Thank you for your reply. This issue has been reported by so many users. This is the thing which holds me a little back from these phones. They provide great hardware, good value for money, but software is equally important too. When one is paying that amount for a phone, these little things can be bothersome. The real issue is that it hasn't been fixed yet. And who knows what new bugs might come with a new update?
One thing no reviewer ever talks about is phone call clarity and cell tower reception. Pixels, for example, are great cameras but they drop calls a lot, right in the middle of phone calls. Motos are often not great cameras, but they get great cell tower reception and they make your voice very clear for the person on the other end to hear.
That's a great callout, and I'll be sure to include that in future reviews. I haven't had any issues with the OP12, and you're totally right that my Pixel used to drop calls all the time.
@@Wildman-Tech thanks for the information about phone reception. I appreciate that.
great review man. i have been quite dicey with OP12 but i guess i am all sorted now. definitely buying it this week
I wish they kept the size of the OP11, that thin profile but still 6.7 inch screen was perfect
I got the OnePlus 12 24/1TB for 650€ and it is simply spectacular, very balanced in everything and with top power.
Excellent soft spoken yet informative detailed review. I'm one of the few people that prefer the curved screen on a large phone which makes it easier to hold and the display looks better. I have been long time user of Samsung Galaxy series phones and watches but Samsung is heading in the wrong direction trying to copy Apple. My next phone will be either OnePlus 12 or 13 and the OneWatch 2 or 3. OnePlus offers a lot of features both in the phone and watch with better battery life for a half the price.
I haven't found a good, hard screen protector for it yet so I just use soft, membrane type screen protectors. They're super cheap and last a couple of months before they get annoyingly scratched
the ir blaster is excellent aswell. can use it for most things. its much more accurate and responsive than the ir blaster on my mi mix 4
I love my OnePlus 12, my only complaint is the delay in navigating/scrolling when reopening chrome
I'm torn between getting this or waiting for the 13. I really love the giant camera but would like it centered and would like an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
It's a real user experience and that's something we all need. It has high-end features for its price. I think if it is developed a little more, it may be a phone that will be preferred to the iPhone in the future. I think they should also work on the interface, many users do not like Android because there is too much customization and you need to use your mind while using the phone, they should develop a simpler interface for people who do not use their brains much or do not want to use them.
Smart Devil UV screen protector is the closest thing you'll get to the stock one
watching from OnePlus 12🔥
Just wait for oxygen os 15 u will see significant changes in software. Many features are coming in oxygen os 15 like lock screen customisation, ai features, new gaming mode , fully revamp ui. Btw love the video
hopefully the new update doesn't drain battery fast.
I can't wait!
I sm really confused should I choose op12 or xioami 14 . I don't care much about the compat size so any suggestions?
Watching this on my samsung s23 +
Wish device came with a flat display...Curved displays are such high maintenance
I am really confused should I choose op12 or mi 14.I don't care much about the compat size. Any suggestion
nice review man, you got a new sub 👍🏻, In india - iphone 15 base model 128gb and OnePlus 12 512gb at same price.. which one should I buy 🤔 (I'm currently using old Android phone)
That OP12 will get you a lot farther than a base model iphone!
@@Wildman-Tech thanks for reply, I'll consider that 🙂
@@Wildman-Tech what about OP12 vs S24U .. I know there is a huge price gap but considering AI features/ Samsung watch ecosystem etc..
Curved screen and being too heavy are the only deal breakers for this phone!!

Hi can you provide download link for the photos taken by rear and selfi cam.thanks
Nice. I've had mine for about the same amount of time. Amazing phone. Not a big fan of the curved display. If the 13 has a flat display,I might trade. If they double down on the curve,nope.
