It really is a killer deal. 8gen2 is still an awesome chip. And man that HUGE battery!
Oneplus has killed every flagship in 2024.
this is very true, i am upgrading from my iphone 14 pro that i spent $1000 on to this and i am trading in the iphone which will completely cover the cost of this and i expect it will be a better experience, i mean just on paper it has about double the peak brightness, 80 w charging IN BOX instead of 20 w charging, and way bigger battery. this is actually insane and gets my excited about the future of "smaller"ish manufacturers that arent just samsung and apple
Traded in my one plus 9 pro. Total cost of 12r $274.95 USD.
Same but i got the 256gb and traded in the oneplus 9 (non-pro). Total cost *delivered* : 364.98
Traded my iPhone 13 and I used a $30 off coupon and university student discount. Total came out to $195.75 for the 16gb/256gb variant.
@@nobrickzkickz2747 nice... I will never, ever buy a apple product unless they reform their anti-consumer mindset.
Was waiting for this review from you. Thanks!
Hopefully you enjoyed it
Im with you brother im currently on an A52 5G(4 years old) and am blown away by this phone for the price! Seems like this is the phone to beat for the money! One Plus is back and it's because of this phone!!
We live in an era where a charger in the box is noteworthy. Does anyone remember when we used to even get headphones in the box? I'm so tired of paying more for less (looking at you Apple), I wish I could support all these smaller manufacturers.
OnePlus is a part of big Chinese corporation BBK which controls such brands as Oppo and others.
@@proudbacteria1373 Yes they are part of a larger entity, but their sales aren't comparable to Apple's or Samsung's.
@@Stinger430I noticed that all companies ( including Motorola) who provide fast charging provide a charger and a special charging cable in a box. I'm not sure but I think that they provide patented tech which you can't get in chargers from Anker, Belkin etc. It is just my guess.
Looking at you Google & Samsung
@@katinasoutherland7693 Definitely them too! Apple does the shafting first, then when there is no backlash, the others see that it's ok to do the same crap.
I've been debating buying a Thinkphone to finally replace my aging Galaxy Note 8. Motorola jacked up the price to full msrp in Canada so I held off but has now dropped it again and now the OP 12R has come out and price is super compelling.
As a user of both which would you recommend?
Battery life is super important to me and will mostly be using 'businessy' apps (MS 365, email, web searches, OneDrive, calendar stuff). I haven't used DeX much due to some hardware issues that seems to prevent it from reliably connecting. But I like the idea of Ready For on moto.
Curious which would get your nod of approval if you had ~ C$550 ($400 ish) between these 2 phones
Reality check 400 equates to only a 100 bucks a year for flagship processor awesome battery life cool cameras what more can we really ask for?
Yup. It's such a good value
My last one plus device was the alomnd one plus 7 pro 256. I'm glad to see them come back.
I hear 7pro was curved. Going from 7t to 12r... original OP case doesn't protect curved display. That may force me to return 12r.
One thing I wanted to point out after using it for a bit is how good the haptics are at this price point and how oddly small it feels for being practically 6.8 inches. Really enjoying this one. Thanks for the review Adam!
Looks really nice .... what do you think Oneplus 11 or Oneplus 12R ?
OnePlus 12R offers 3 OS updates and 4 years of security patches. It offers less support than 12 flagship model.
Almost perfect but i wanna know whether i can sideload apk on this tho?
My poco x6 pro cant do that for most 3rd party apps like vidmate
Good video. I was going to upgrade to the new Galaxy a55, but now it isn't coming to the US. I discovered the 12R as an alternative and like what I'm hearing in the reviews. I'm going to order one this week.
Quick question 7 pro or this. Thank you.
Just ordered the phone, oneplus buds 3, and a case for $200. I traded in my zflip5 cause im done w flip phones for now and OP won me back with this killer trade in.
Great review, and i love the price. More phones need to be like this. (As im using my new old stock Red Hydrogen One) .
I really think that this is the best overall deal Oneplus has going right now. Oneplus usually has a $30 off deal on their website, making the base black model $369 with the any phone, any condition trade in deal. I do wish the blue version came with the 128gb variant, but what can you do. The blue 256gb version is still a great deal at $469. I think it's at least 1 tier above any similarly priced phone currently in the US.
Thanks for this so much
I am glad you are going to compare this to the Thinkphone. I was wondering which you would buy out of the two. I hope you are feeling good today!
I was just thinking that bro that's crazy
I just turned on the video
Curved display is biggest defect. Original OP case doesn't protect curved display. Small defect was 12r taking 1 day to recognize my 2 Airpods
Does it have Display Port (DP) support mode over USB?
Thanks for the update TechOdyssey! Went straight to check out what our options look like the UK and was dissappointed to see that only the 16GB RAM variant is available, starting at £650 - Thats ~$810!!!
Yeah that stinks that they charge you guys so much more for these phones.
Thanks man for all the hard work....
Just love your enthusiasm and dedication.
Only one thing i have to add.
Updates are 3os and 4 years of security if i'm not mistaken.
OP12 is 4/5 years.
Still great.
Been using Edge 40 Pro here in Europe, basically Thinkphone with more ram and better cameras.
And cheapest price for 12R here is about 600 dollars.
So ppl in the US....go for it, great value phone.
All the best man.
Does it do portrait video (bokeh efffect) like the 12?
Thanks fir the video review I'm gonna order this to replace my z fold 5 that phone has dirt in the hinge already making scratching sounds and dont wanna use it anymore
Just received OP12r yesterday. Do u recommend transferring everything over from old cell (OP7t) or testing 12 r 1st to see if any defects?
I'm sure it's fine to transfer everything over
Hy,how are the pictures? Any software issue, batery life?
I have the OnePlus N30 5g. It just got Oxygen os14. Really good phone thinking of trading it for the 12R.
The blue one is 256gb for $599 and the black 128gb one is $499. Of course then trade in an old phone for the $100 off.
Watching this on a OnePlus n20 5g and if I'm digging this I'll probably dig the 12R. Needing a reason to pass this down to the kid.
Can you do a video on OnePlus buds 3? 😁
What is you opinion on yhe OnePlus 12r vs the OnePlus 11?
11 for a better camera. 12r for better everything else
Ordered from OnePlus 16gb 256gb and it should be coming this week. I'm going to send them an old LG V10
Lol 😆 haha nice why not ? Enjoy the phone 📱 seriously what a price tho for what you get 👏 👌 🙌
I bought the Thinkphone and loved it. However, after comparing it to my Note 20 Ultra and the S21 FE, I found that the camera is subpar. The photos I took at a family event looked good on the phone but as soon as I zoomed in on any part of the photos, the detail was lacking and in some cases were blurred. Opening the photos on a large monitor just showed how soft-looking the images were.
I returned it and pre-ordered the OnePlus 12. The 12R looks like a good phone with a camera system that beats the Thinkphone hands down. If you don't care about the cameras, either choice would be great. For me, the OnePlus 12 with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage is the much better deal.
12 and 12r share the same main camera....
And the results are basicakky the same
Only zoom is added on OP12.
And better uw ofc.
It is a better phone but not by much in that department.
What's the software difference between the 12r & the pixel?
Quite a bit. I'd say there's more software customization on the one plus but doesn't have the AI stuff that is specific only to pixel phones.
in china the 12r is called ace 3. in my place it sell 395 usd 12/256gig shipped.
Is this better than the pixel 7 pro?
I was going to hold out and see what the pixel brings later this year, but this phone is really giving me second thoughts, especially as a secondary/backup. I hope Oneplus and other OEMs continue to gain popularity for those that don’t get caught up in the hype and simply want a good device.
How do you think this would compare to the Pixel 8? If price wasn't an issue, just pound for pound, which one do you think is a better deal. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
Wondering the same
This because of the 8 gen 2
I was stuck between the 12 and 12r. I ended up going for the 12r. For me, this is a refined 11. Yes , with minimal compromise. The main lense works fine for me. 1.5k display looks better than fhd. Th chipsets for the 8+1 8gen2 and 8gen3 are perfectly fine. They are all fast. My biggest gripe for the 12 are 2 major things. I am coming from a 10pro and the 4k 120fps is insane and the 50 watt supervooc is there and it has the ip68 rating. When a pro version comes back ill be ready to tradein my 10pro. But picking up the 12r is an absolute win for value.
I am thinking of upgrading my Oneplus Nord 2t to this one. Is it worth the upgrade?
Doesn't curved display worry u? Using 12r now. Original OP case doesn't protect curved display.
@@latinreuben yes it does
I believe this one gets 3 OS updates mot 4.
That is what I read.
Yeah, and it has a 1.5 K display at 450ppi. So that's definitely a step up from Full HD.
Thank you (or your family) for your service. USAA FTW! 12R arrives on Sunday...
Mine arrives by Friday
This is oneplus's old formula coming back in the right ways. Fantastic screen, great performance, a "good enough" camera system (although a cheap telephoto or better ultra wide would make it more compelling) and the best part, the correct price for most people. Outside the pixel series (mainly on the camera and software front) there isn't much that can beat it at the price and especially in the us. There setting the bar pretty high for other manufacturers to catch up too, and thats exciting . PHones like this are everything you need and then some, and not much your wanting for.
Totally true. I returned my sammy s24 and got the 12r with a discount was like 1/2 the price. Like, that is insane in the US and will definitely put the other big players on notice.
Ordered a 12+ two days ago looking forward to it
Where did you find to buy this phone for $500?
Anybody else have this issue with their OnePlus 12 r. I recently purchased mine and I've been having issues with the hey Google voice detection not working. I've tried everything to fix it so I just requested a replacement phone.
Thank you Adam been waiting on this video.🎉🎉🎉
This is not a mid range phone, waiting on my 16GB/256 coming soon..Great review. Thanks.
It is mid range. Especially considering everything is expensive now due to greedflation.
Loving mine so far
I would have totally been tempted by one of these, if only the reviews had come out before I went through the hassle of pre-ordering my S24 Ultra!
I like that One Plus is getting back into the game....but I hated my 9P so much that I just can't trust them anymore lol
This phone, for the price i paid is something special imo! I traded my oneplus8T and received 260 bucks off between buying the 256/16GB version, coupon, and trade in it came to 360 bucks!!! Last year's flagship chip, and that huge battery+block on top of so much more! An unbeatable price for a phone packing this much power!
Nice. Glad to hear you got such a good deal and are happy with it
@@TechOdyssey appreciate the video, I have nothing but positive things to say about the 12R! Not one hiccup or stutter in the month or so I've had it👍
OnePlus 12R or Think phone or pixel 8 which one will be a better value or a better phone?
Not that you asked me but I'd say 1+12R
Thinkphone has wireless charging and IP68 rating. Snapdragon Gen 1+ (extremely fast) but camera system is not very good. Motorola really fell down in this aspect with subpar and soft images. OnePlus 12R, IP64, Snapdragon Gen 2, much better camera system. If the camera is not important to you, the Thinkphone is a contender. Overall, the 12R beats it in almost every aspect except for the IP rating and wireless charging.
What’s better this one of Motorola think phone?
Honestly, I'd go for the Oneplus. The 12R is looking to be a really solid phone. Especially for trade in any phone in any condition, whether it turns on or not, and receiving a one hundred dollar credit is just awesome.
@@auck1969 but as far as the phones go which is better?
Just got mine. This thing is insane. Battery life is hilarious to me its so good.
$499? Lucky you. In UK its £649 ($800)
Ike to see a smaller one plus. They are always huge!
Smaller phones just doesn't sell well enough they'd be losing money probably
What bands of 5g does this support?
if you get the GLobal version, it supports major bands
What does 1+ have against wireless charging?
I don't think you really need wireless charging if you can just plug your phone in for 15 minutes and have almost a day's worth of battery. Other phones have wireless charging because they are too slow. Additionally, wireless charging generates more heat on the battery compared to the wired charging method.
@@ayouboughar4673 I use wireless charging exclusively especially overnight using my phone as a clock and looking at the current temperature. Perhaps you have other needs.
I'm debating on upgrading my wife from the s20fe to the 12r. You get $160 for the fe so it comes to like 360 for the 12r. Is it hard to transfer data from Samsung to the oneplus? My wife wants everything to come with it if she switches, I know that already.
I been thinking about upgrading my wife too
Its easy, just use oneplus switch app, but only copy files and Photos, dont transfer apps, since that usually causes battery drain bugs on every android
@@Aloolol huh, I've never had an issue switching everything from samsung to samsung. I wonder if it's a oneplus thing?
@fraghead9813 nah not a oneplus thing, the switch apps have gotten smarter and not copying system settings and cache but sometimes when going from one brand to the other it still makes a mess. Better safe than sorry.
@Aloolol no for sure, I just know if anything messed up my wife would snap on me haha she worries about that crap. I'll have to look into it and see what happens.
OnePlus 11 or 12r?
OnePlus is really good for sure
Would the oneplus phones cost more if they had ip68 certified or is it OnePlus just dont like waterproofing there phone😊
It would cost us more
Would you pay that bit more for it tho
You said it, it's a great phone for the price. Without a doubt 🧐. Thanks for getting it out there...
Interesting though that 9 to 5 Google has just described the 8mgp ultra wide and 2mgp macro lens as awful. I suppose you could say that they would say that woulldnt they.
This is the midrange to beat this year.
This is more than enough phone for the vast majority of people and the price is excellent(and itll go even lower in a few months)
Good job Oneplus.
I bought it for battery life!!! It is over 9 hrs 21 mins with the most stressful tests!!!!!! Before the battery ran out lol 😂 it's snappy and fast thanks one plus for this beast of a phone 📱
First of all thanks for this helpfull review. Unfoftunately in Europe Germany Smartphones seems to be more expansive . In Germany i would Pay for it 650 us Dollars . But compared to the Pixel 8 Pro it would bei around 900 Dollars
even If I would choose the Asian import of one plus 12 It would not be cheaper
399 is a solid price!!
really people what do you want for $399........... you want a great camera, great battery all the updates, are you joking, then go out and buy a flag ship phone, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR...
Yeah, I mean the only thing the One Plus 12R is "lacking in" is software support and wireless charging. Honestly, isn't even lacking because that has been the standard for a long time, it's a solid window. Sure it takes some hits but for the most part its close enough to a flagship. That I dont see an issue in my opinion.
What are you going for about? Are you replying to someone?
Nah they neeed a dslr camera n not a phone one.
Everything ok except weight and curved display
The people complaining probably live in Europe where this costs 799$, not 499$
Hi, do you have a refferal code for one plus 12 😊
Only through Best Buy, not through the actual OonePlus website.
@TechOdyssey Thanks, but I need website ones
I'm thinking of sending in my Nexus 6P for $100 off lol
That's an offer i can't refuse
I never refuse and offer i can't refuse
I'm getting that beautiful blue phone
It looks so smooth
Nice video
You should do a 12R Vs Motorola Edge + 2023
Now that's a bargain and I'm getting one.
It's actually 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates, not 4 & 5 years.
Plan on getting this to replace my iPhone 15 plus
Wireless charging on the 12r?
Nope
No. Sadly
These oneplus phones look amazing (and not just for the price) how do they last though? I have an s23 ultra that I know will last me the 5 years till I upgrade it.
They last just fine
My Oneplus 5T still works just fine. Of course I stopped using that years ago, but I could use it now if I wanted to.
@@artdogg50 how many years did you use it daily for?
My OnePlus 8 is still fine other than a loose USB C port (not the phones fault though, it's a common issue with USB C in general). Can't wait to get my 12 this week though!
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv enjoy the 12. If I was upgrading this year I'd probably go that or the 24+
0:52 It has a 1264 x 2780 resolution, not FHD.
That's called FHD+.
It's 720 € here and they only sell 256 GB
Great content. Cool phone, but for me, I'll stick with my s23 ultra. Can't stand the camera bump.
It’s not for everyone.
Haven't had a 📱 with an ir blaster in at least 10 years. 😮
Yea...i need to grab the old Nokia 925 out my drawer and send it in for discount. I will not send my old Blackberries!!!😆
I think you are wrong about the fastest storage.
such a hard pick lol. if it is truely any phojne. i still have my oneplus 3t lol. im using my galaxy s22 ultra right now and according to them i can get 430 for it, so if i get 500 trade in i may just go for the oneplus 12, but this is a great deal. i love oneplus, im paying my s22 ultra off then gonna get 12r or the 12
I think I might buy this…..
Go for it
My favorite color 💙
This type of phone seems to be the trend. A combination of mid-range and flagship features with the previous years high in chipset. When you think about this, it makes a lot of sense. Just because it's last year's flagship chipset doesn't make it worse. In this instance, the Snapdragon 8 generation 2 will be relevant for many years. In fact, it's the same chipset that's in my 11.
That being said, let me play devil's advocate. This phone is clearly a great deal but, it is missing a few things. With the release of the 12 series the 11 should go down in price relatively soon. Perhaps, depending on your needs purchasing last year's 11 maybe a better choice for some people. Obviously, I'm just spitballing but, it's something to consider. Especially, since the 12r will be going up to $599.99 after the pre-order is over. Simply put, the 11 has the features including quad HD that the 12r is missing.
Hard to say. I think that OnePlus doesn't noticeably reduce prices on older models.
@@proudbacteria1373 in fact, I follow their pricing from year to year and they usually do at some point. You have to catch it at the correct time. At most, the only thing you lose is 1 year of updates. Updates are important to me but, for some people they're not.
Myself, I pre-ordered the 12. However, I chose to keep my 11. I require two flagship devices so, I really didn't want to get rid of it.
Imagine being able to get this phone for like $250 next year
@@TechOdyssey indeed, it would be a total steal. In fact, I still think it's a bargain now.
@@dr.fitprofessor4363 for sure
5:05 The OP9 Pro had IP68.
And it also cost more. One reason they rolled the prices back down.
The lack of mmWave 5g is a deal breaker for me.
Why
this or the Honor X50 Pro
OnePlus 12R or Xiaomi 13T Pro?
I like to know about this too?
Im getting this. Very disappointed in my current Samsung A54.
256gb 16 ram still over 500usd not 399
any news of rose gold?
Only 2 colorways, Black & Blue same with flagship sibling
12R comes with only 3 years android and 4 years security update
It's still expensive here in the UK 😢
Sorry to hear that. What about the OnePlus 12R?
@@TechOdyssey £849 UK price. ☹️
