Great phone aside, I love the chill and calm nature of this video. I seriously got tired of tech creators trying to appeal to the cooked TikTok brains with low attention span by doing fast paced flashy editing that will give you a seizure
I'm still rocking mine. Ever since Carl Pei has left, OnePlus lost many of its distinct characteristics to Oppo. They still have great phones, but just not like before. Holding onto my 7 pro until the iPhone 16 pro comes out and probably will make the jump then. Still following up on what OnePlus and Nothing are doing for nostalgic reasons.
After wasting 3 years with horrible software on OnePlus 9 Pro, there's no way I'm going back ever again. Samsung is just so much better now with the software support and hardware.
Yeah I really like having samsung updates ruin my battery life on my s23 ultra, also love how every update no matter big or small only tells me "security updates, maybe we changed something, maybe we didnt"
This brother has single handedly boosted the sales of OP12. He has made a minimum of 10 videos across 2 channels lol. But he is speaking the truth though. I am loving my OP 12.
Considering upgrading my phone but worried about all the reviews of Oxygen Os becoming like color os and the green line fiasco. How has your experience been with the new Oxygen/colour os?
@@varunsai9720the color os influence is pretty bad but never a deal breaker. It has decent selection of features and the newer phones don't seem to have green line issues
He's telling no lies! That phone is legit! I co-sign everything he mentioned. Especially the battery life. Wish he'd spoke more about the I/R blaster! I forgot how clutch and useful that hardware feature was.
Bro you just have to put a case if the curved display is bothering you. It solves the issue not that I have faced the issue personally but try it. Worked for me. I love the curved display tbh
just got the s24 exynos a day ago,after the first 24 hours i can tell you not to believe those bad reviews the battery life is great i got 8h screen on time with spotify in the background,heavy gaming and photography with no break cause i really wanted to stress test this phone,its actually way better than the snapdragon s23 unlike most youtube videos say and the brighter screen really makes the experience better

The reason you keep going back is most likely because the phone doesn't overheat like the other ones. Because of the warp charging over the past 10 years they've developed the best cooling tech and they're right under the gaming phones. I did charging comparison with my OnePlus Nord n30 with Motorola phones and the temperature was 5 to 8° always hotter on those compared to the OnePlus.
You don't have any lines on your display? May 8T has 5 lines. However, if it did not get the lines, I would still be using it. Such a great phone overall
@@Uncle_Drew0227 Same for my 8T, it has exactly 1 green line but it runs down the middle and always at max brightness it hurts the eyes. Other than that, its stupid good for how much I purchased that thing with and it was already 2 years behind
Even my brother who has 8T had green line issues twice and luckily the service centre replaced it for free, I didn’t have the green line issue with my 7T but started hating oneplus when they started making oxygen os as color os. Right now I’m using 15 pro max.
@@Uncle_Drew0227 didn’t know about that problem. I don’t have any green lines and the screen is on for about 10 / 12 hours a day! (I drive for Uber and use it as my working phone, and always hot as hell)
Never tried the G Flex, but the V20 was so ahead of its time. I'd take removable battery and a metal back over the anti-consumer sealed glass sandwiches any time. 💔
Damn, i miss LG (rip) being in the mobile marked. Whole i purched the v10,20, 40, and v60. My favorite is LG G8 and the v60 (which grew on me) is tied for second, the v60 was a game changer. It opened the idea of folding phones ans why i own the one plus open now.
I used LG smartphones for a long time. But sadly they stopped making phones. So i needed a new phone in a budget and ended up with a Oneplus Nord 3. First i was a little sceptic but OP really nailed the battery. Fast charging is awsome, it lasts for two days and it can do everything i want my phone to do. My bext phone will be the OnePlus 14 or 15. I will stay with these phones, they are awsome
Just got my hands on a LG G6 in practically brand new condition and was playing around with the cameras - it had an ultra wide camera when Samsung only added one 2 years later and - Man they are good! It's what pictures should look like - and I'm now comparing it to my Samsung Note 10! LG G6 was an impressive piece of tech for that time. I had the Samsung S6/S8 during that era.
@@zeed5764bought a G6 last year. Died after 2 months. Bought another 1 this year unfortunately got the Korean 🇰🇷 variant. The sensor is good but S6 Edge camera UI is way better. G6 doesn't even have 4K OIS. My most advanced phone 📱 is a Sony XZ3 from 2018. Excellent phone 📱 for $70. Sensor is even better but no OIS for a 2018 flagship (really, Sony?)
Been using it for over 4 months now, No complaints but the same that you mentioned at the end there, flatter display,better video & no iOSfication of the UI . U want these things
Why does everybody want flat displays? I understand screen protector, but just take care of your phone. Curved display is so much better. Looks cooler, better viewing angles, useful features like edge panels, smooth back swipe, and just the general luxurious aesthetic it gives. Flat screen? Just screen protector. Only reason. Alot of phones going flat and end up looking the same or like iPhones. Samsung went that route (which I am really against), and now OnePlus is thinking about it.
Get a flat display and watch it get hellishly uncomfortable. The only reason that borderline tablet isn't falling out of his hands is because the screen and back are curved to fit into his hands. If you've actually ever held a phone while doing something else you would know that
Yank, here ---- several of your videos discussing the OP12 convinced me to purchase one. Had also been considering the Galaxy Plus and the Pixel Pro. I have no regrets --- the One plus 12 is a terrific phone!
Ive been on the 7 pro for 5 years. If i didnt want pixel 9 for a change of pace and a smaller phone i would grab another oneplus. I am glad to see they are back to form after a few down years.
Is the curved screen going to be very expensive to replace? Thats my only scare.. my s8 was beautiful but when it broke the repair cost was really expensive
The only bad thing about OnePlus is the issues it has with pricing it's phones in different parts of the world.. and the Brand Value of Apple/Samsung , plus the availability and ease of purchase with EMIs and Carrier partnerships. In South Asia where we just buy phones in cash with pre paid Sim cards , OnePlus provides like 8/10 of a Samsung Galaxy Ultra or a Pro Iphone at a price difference of a few hundred dollars. If you had to pay for the phone upfront and also had to pay for the calls and data usage regularly, then you'd also look for ways to save a few hundred dollars.. that's why android phones especially non Samsung ones sell more in the less developed parts of the world.
ordered mine yesterday for 700€ and am really looking forward to it. This will be my first "premium phone" experience upgrading from my now 3 years old 300€ Poco F3.
@Louis-kg7qo So far I cant complain. The battery life is great and the camera system is probably the biggest upgrade. Also less bloatware/ads in the software compared to Xiaomi/Poco. Hope they make future Oneplus phones fully waterproof tho.
Currently have a Poco F3 and it's been a very good experience apart from some software bugs and camera (not really the selling point of this phone and I knew it). Looking for a new phone to buy and definitely considering the OP12.
I just got my 1st Oneplus yesterday, actually. A 12R. So too soon for any real judgements but it's a really nicely built phone and I like the simpler One Plus UI vs Samsung. Kinda of reminders me of my past Pixel phone.
OnePlus will never be what it once was and that's quite sad to me. Remember when OnePlus devices came with literally a custom ROM preinstalled? I miss those days and I wish I could go back.. Or OxygenOS 10 and 9? That was a truly amazing software experience
There are only 3 things that I feel are missing: IP68, Flat screen and Log mode, I own a OnePlus 9RT and it has a log mode and it works really well for me. Idk why someone would remove such a good feature 😕

I totally second your opinion. Having experienced the battery level anxiety with LG G4, OP12 makes me completely forget about battery and there is everything else almost at par with other costly flagships ❤
I really want to love this phone, and used to, but the 2 second scroll lag when switching between recent apps with the pill on the bottom is a deal breaker for me. Their last update claimed to fix it, but it’s not fixed when sliding left to right with the pill on the bottom. That’s how I switch between my recent apps.
The 12 is a really good phone, but the software is full of arbitrary little annoyances where Android doesn't function quite how you'd expect it to. I'm also still not used to how weirdly huge and inconsistent some UI elements are, which can't be corrected by adjusting the screen DPI. It's so close to being a great phone, but I'll probably be switching to something else.
Their quick settings panel looks like a combination of One UI & iOS. Not bad though. I'm not complaining. It seems like they took the best of both worlds. I guess I have to check out the phone to see if it's actually any good.
I just love that the Oneplus has a pull-down panel like the iphone, it's a wonderfully quick way to increase the volume, quickly use the decrease, without having to press the button all the time. The iPhone is wonderful in that you can quickly pull down the panel when you are watching a video or playing a game and you can quickly access the sound slider and the same for the screen brightness slider. I hope that all phones will have such a quick pull-down panel where you can quickly access the volume slider, most phones only have a screen brightness slider that you can quickly access, but the sound slider is more important. I have an Xperia 1 VI, and on it I had to invent an extra tile to quickly change the volume without having to press those side buttons all the time. Thank you!
I had a OnePlus 2 which I lived with for such a long time. I think I was able to because of the superior hardware at the time. 4gb of ram was unheard of at the time and kept it chugging along for years even though system updates had long since run out. Provide a longer update schedule and you'll win me back, OP. ❤❤
@@adeebkhan7498 Hell yeah. This phone kicks ass at emulating PS2 Games as well. Love the phone so far. I was going to get this phone for my Girl but she doesn't need anything like this with too much power. So I ordered a Google Pixel 8a - 256GB. Once I receive the phone I'm gonna debloat it with the Universal Android Debloater Next Generation Tool.
I had a OnePlus 12 even pre-ordered it, sold it two weeks ago as it's boring, got me the moto stylus 5g 2024, and it's actually a better smartphone. Sure the specs are weaker, but for daily use there is no noticable difference. The stylus may have worse cameras, but for point and shoot it's plenty good, if I need more I'll use my actual dlsr. You know what the stylus wins in though? SD card slot, 3.5 headphone jack, flat screen, no need for a case, and of course the stylus. The moto actually has every feature a smartphone should have. And for you saying I want to play games at top specs, the moto will play at medium settings, but if you actually want to play games get a devices with buttons like a retroid pocket 4 pro or 5/ 5 mini.
After getting thousands of green lines in my display of OnePlus 8t and replacing it over because I loved the phone I ended my toxic relationship with OnePlus. Even 12 is getting green lines. Such poor quality
I used samsung flagships and i keep coming back to OnePlus. They are just smoothers somehow. The Exynos processors Samsung keeps putting in their flagships are absolutely yrash in the long term.
OnePlus definitely deserves more recognition but it's not all peachy. My OnePlus 11 lost the lift to wake feature. You also can tap or double tap the AOD to see the lock screen. OnePlus 12 users say they never even had those features. Third party launchers still don't have proper support. And they keep copying Apple without giving too much thought if what they are adding makes sense. So please take the time to go through the community app and find things users don't like and actually criticize the damn phone. Help the community help OnePlus make the phone better.
Is it still possible for the phone to be used to make mobile payments via google wallet without needing any authentication whatsoever, until like some $200 PER DAY or something? And the setting that’s supposed to be there to require authentication is still missing? This is why I had to move off OnePlus, love it all round otherwise.
Nailed it!! Thank you for this very honest & true to life user review. I've been using a OP12 since launch, and for the price i paid, it's been bloody amazing! I mean, let's be honest, who really uses all the features of so-called flagships costing $1000 plus?? Nah, didnt think so. The majority are just trying to make their battery last throughout the day... 😂
That's the reason I switched to OnePlus 12 from the iPhone 14 pro in April, I just couldn't withstand the awful battery life and the slow as a snail charging speeds. I think the OnePlus 12 is in fact 2024's best Android device 😍
04:48 I agree with you on that. I don't want it to get replaced with stupid multifunction button. I just want alert slider. Yes, they can add a button but don't remove or change alert slider
I would've gone for the 11R if it didn't have color os, they should've sticked with superior stock Android experience, which is why i went with Poco F6 which does have miui but they generally have better custom rom support
My favorite phone as well, just got it in April and shelved my S23 Ultra along with the Galaxy watch 6 classic. I keep wanting to switch back to it but the battery life and charging speeds are exceptional. Oxygen OS is not bad and runs smooth. I know the camera is good and maybe not up to the specs of Apple, Google or Samsung but for the price, nothing beats this!!
I am using 3 years now the 8T and its still performing as fast as at the beginning. Software is Great, only issues i had was with android 12 . OnePlus with 12 did its best , this phone is overall the best phone for the money.
I had the OnePlus 1, 3, 7t then left for pixel. My brother has had the 1, 5, 7 pro, 11 pro, fold and what is a recurring thought I have with OnePlus is it's good for tech reviewers or people who upgrade yearly. Beyond 1 year, OnePlus is horrible with timely updates and support
Hopefully one day OnePlus finally comes to an agreement with AT&T in order fully support this device so we can get wifi calling and band 14 compatibility. 😔
I gotta ask, im going to be upgrading my phone soon and i can't decide between these three. Oneplus Open, oneplus 12 or oneplus 13. Do you have any recommendations or advice?
I really love my Oneplus 12. It's fast, UI is smooth as silk, absolutely no bloatware, works like a beast with all the multitasking I do on it, great display with good visibility outdoors, excellent RAM management, superb battery backup that lasts all day and has never let me down. Camera is decent too, works for my purpose. I own the Galaxy s23 ultra as well but use OP 12 as my primary phone as I absolutely love it! OnePlus is the proof how much other phone brands are ripping you off!
I would rather pay 10-20% more for Software Stability. I dont know how Oneplus 12 is, but my Oneplus 11 had some minor bugs, annoying. Xiaomi has grave software bugs. So now im with Samsung and no issues.
I loved my op7, but there is one more caveat with the update situation. Not only they offer less updates but they are late. Maybe not the first update, but once you are in the second or third year the updates come very late. However the advantage of OnePlus is the battery life and charging speed. I miss it now.
Great phone aside, I love the chill and calm nature of this video. I seriously got tired of tech creators trying to appeal to the cooked TikTok brains with low attention span by doing fast paced flashy editing that will give you a seizure

I stick to Samsung simply because their service center in India have the best track record regarding repairing devices
LOL
Have you tried any of the folding phones?
So it the curved display problems in games
what's the game name? that he was playing at 4:30
I also want to know. Can you ask AI image recognition
How's the cameras vs s23ultra/s24ultra?
Have you been using it caseless? Sorry I missed that part in the video :P
In North America, the 12R is even better value. Traded in my S21 plus and got the 12R for $349 for a Mother's Day promotion 😉👍
I totally second your opinion. Having experienced the battery level anxiety with LG G4, OP12 makes me completely forget about battery and there is everything else almost at par with other costly flagships ❤
S6 Edge Exynos has a more annoying battery 🔋 than G4
I really want to love this phone, and used to, but the 2 second scroll lag when switching between recent apps with the pill on the bottom is a deal breaker for me. Their last update claimed to fix it, but it’s not fixed when sliding left to right with the pill on the bottom. That’s how I switch between my recent apps.
😅😅😅 these things some of y'all .complain about makes me laught
@@kings_chronicle592 my pixel 8 pro, my nothing phone 2 and iPhone 15 pro max don't have the issue. 2 second lag is a very big deal.
@@anthonyflowers9249 well I don't notice a 2 sec lag I'm too busy just living life 😂😂😂
@@anthonyflowers9249 how is nothing phone 2 compared to oneplus 12 and iPhone? Can you recommend it?
Hey, can you "remove" menu so swiping up opens google search?
The 12 is a really good phone, but the software is full of arbitrary little annoyances where Android doesn't function quite how you'd expect it to. I'm also still not used to how weirdly huge and inconsistent some UI elements are, which can't be corrected by adjusting the screen DPI. It's so close to being a great phone, but I'll probably be switching to something else.
Good do you not own a case for a phone that comes with a case in the box?
who many years of firware/security updates do you get? my S24 plus gives 7 yrs !
Will buy when 6.1 size is available.
I bought the highest end-low end phone, because it has a headpgone jack and microsd. Do you REALLY require powrr exceeding dimensity 1300...?
Their quick settings panel looks like a combination of One UI & iOS. Not bad though. I'm not complaining. It seems like they took the best of both worlds. I guess I have to check out the phone to see if it's actually any good.
The alert slider is a major reason why I will place my order for the phone next week. Without it, I will opt for another phone.
It's just the charging speed and the battery size
whats the name of the offroading game at 4:30?
I bought a OnePlus 8T a few years ago and even now it works great and I've gotten android updates pretty quickly. So tempted to pick up a 12R!
I just love that the Oneplus has a pull-down panel like the iphone, it's a wonderfully quick way to increase the volume, quickly use the decrease, without having to press the button all the time. The iPhone is wonderful in that you can quickly pull down the panel when you are watching a video or playing a game and you can quickly access the sound slider and the same for the screen brightness slider. I hope that all phones will have such a quick pull-down panel where you can quickly access the volume slider, most phones only have a screen brightness slider that you can quickly access, but the sound slider is more important. I have an Xperia 1 VI, and on it I had to invent an extra tile to quickly change the volume without having to press those side buttons all the time. Thank you!
One Plus is notorious for its green line...or say all AMOLED screens, this issue should be resolved soon.
Green line issues??
What can you say about RAM management and apps im background, games ? Ive had a bad experience with op 11 which i imported from China
Take the 16gb ram version
8gb ram was not the best
I had a OnePlus 2 which I lived with for such a long time. I think I was able to because of the superior hardware at the time. 4gb of ram was unheard of at the time and kept it chugging along for years even though system updates had long since run out.
Provide a longer update schedule and you'll win me back, OP. ❤❤
S22-S24 Ultra design is terrible. It looks cool but is intentionally unergonomic to use.
It feels like trying to masturbate on a brick. Absolutely terrible design.
I bought it last week after ditching my Huawei p30 pro ... Am delighted 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Huawei p30 pro here.. Oneplus sound great but in 2 weeks we have pixel9 pro Xl.. I dont want to regret😂
@@bibbibob with mediocre processor 😁😁😁 gd luck with your new iron box
I have literally the same configuration, except I went with the Emerald Green. It's soooo nice! No case/screen protector. Glad I switched from iOS.
I bought the white one and it looks the best for me.
@@adeebkhan7498 Hell yeah. This phone kicks ass at emulating PS2 Games as well. Love the phone so far. I was going to get this phone for my Girl but she doesn't need anything like this with too much power. So I ordered a Google Pixel 8a - 256GB. Once I receive the phone I'm gonna debloat it with the Universal Android Debloater Next Generation Tool.
I had a OnePlus 12 even pre-ordered it, sold it two weeks ago as it's boring, got me the moto stylus 5g 2024, and it's actually a better smartphone. Sure the specs are weaker, but for daily use there is no noticable difference. The stylus may have worse cameras, but for point and shoot it's plenty good, if I need more I'll use my actual dlsr. You know what the stylus wins in though? SD card slot, 3.5 headphone jack, flat screen, no need for a case, and of course the stylus. The moto actually has every feature a smartphone should have. And for you saying I want to play games at top specs, the moto will play at medium settings, but if you actually want to play games get a devices with buttons like a retroid pocket 4 pro or 5/ 5 mini.
i have the motorola too. . i was 5hinking of nuying the one plus twelve or thirteen. and i bought the motorola because i couldnt afford an s24 ultra!
How about the oneplus 13.………?
After getting thousands of green lines in my display of OnePlus 8t and replacing it over because I loved the phone I ended my toxic relationship with OnePlus. Even 12 is getting green lines. Such poor quality
How much oneplus or oppo paid you bro?????
Does it throttle? :(
How would you compare this with the Honor Magic 6 pro?
I used samsung flagships and i keep coming back to OnePlus. They are just smoothers somehow.
The Exynos processors Samsung keeps putting in their flagships are absolutely yrash in the long term.
It should be a requirement for tech developers to watch review videos like this of their own products.
OnePlus definitely deserves more recognition but it's not all peachy. My OnePlus 11 lost the lift to wake feature. You also can tap or double tap the AOD to see the lock screen. OnePlus 12 users say they never even had those features. Third party launchers still don't have proper support. And they keep copying Apple without giving too much thought if what they are adding makes sense.
So please take the time to go through the community app and find things users don't like and actually criticize the damn phone. Help the community help OnePlus make the phone better.
Is it still possible for the phone to be used to make mobile payments via google wallet without needing any authentication whatsoever, until like some $200 PER DAY or something? And the setting that’s supposed to be there to require authentication is still missing? This is why I had to move off OnePlus, love it all round otherwise.
If it was so exceptional, you wouldn’t keep returning, you’d be staying. Am I wrong?
Nailed it!! Thank you for this very honest & true to life user review. I've been using a OP12 since launch, and for the price i paid, it's been bloody amazing! I mean, let's be honest, who really uses all the features of so-called flagships costing $1000 plus?? Nah, didnt think so. The majority are just trying to make their battery last throughout the day... 😂
That's the reason I switched to OnePlus 12 from the iPhone 14 pro in April, I just couldn't withstand the awful battery life and the slow as a snail charging speeds. I think the OnePlus 12 is in fact 2024's best Android device 😍
Where's 6k video
How does it compare to the honor magic 6 pro tho?
04:48 I agree with you on that. I don't want it to get replaced with stupid multifunction button. I just want alert slider. Yes, they can add a button but don't remove or change alert slider
What is that game at 4:33?
Appears to be Off Road 4x4 Driving Simulator
I would've gone for the 11R if it didn't have color os, they should've sticked with superior stock Android experience, which is why i went with Poco F6 which does have miui but they generally have better custom rom support
My favorite phone as well, just got it in April and shelved my S23 Ultra along with the Galaxy watch 6 classic. I keep wanting to switch back to it but the battery life and charging speeds are exceptional. Oxygen OS is not bad and runs smooth. I know the camera is good and maybe not up to the specs of Apple, Google or Samsung but for the price, nothing beats this!!
I am using 3 years now the 8T and its still performing as fast as at the beginning. Software is Great, only issues i had was with android 12 . OnePlus with 12 did its best , this phone is overall the best phone for the money.
Have you done a review on Xiaomi CiVi with Leica camera
Where can I find that dog in the water wallpaper lol
I suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I always consider the weight of my devices. The specs are good, but it's too heavy for me.
xiaomi 14 or OP12 i got the Xiaomi 12
No desktop mode. How can it be complete?
desktop mode is there don't worry
Only Samsung has that right now. Its coming to Android in general in , Android 15
I could see this feeling better. Sold my S24 ultra as it was the most uncomfortable phone I have ever used.
I doubt android 15 update will show up this year.
My favorite phone so far. And I've had a lot of phones!
I had the OnePlus 1, 3, 7t then left for pixel. My brother has had the 1, 5, 7 pro, 11 pro, fold and what is a recurring thought I have with OnePlus is it's good for tech reviewers or people who upgrade yearly. Beyond 1 year, OnePlus is horrible with timely updates and support
Hopefully one day OnePlus finally comes to an agreement with AT&T in order fully support this device so we can get wifi calling and band 14 compatibility. 😔
We need a 6" - 6.2" sized OnePlus high spec phone.
I gotta ask, im going to be upgrading my phone soon and i can't decide between these three. Oneplus Open, oneplus 12 or oneplus 13. Do you have any recommendations or advice?
I really love my Oneplus 12. It's fast, UI is smooth as silk, absolutely no bloatware, works like a beast with all the multitasking I do on it, great display with good visibility outdoors, excellent RAM management, superb battery backup that lasts all day and has never let me down. Camera is decent too, works for my purpose. I own the Galaxy s23 ultra as well but use OP 12 as my primary phone as I absolutely love it! OnePlus is the proof how much other phone brands are ripping you off!
I would rather pay 10-20% more for Software Stability. I dont know how Oneplus 12 is, but my Oneplus 11 had some minor bugs, annoying. Xiaomi has grave software bugs.
So now im with Samsung and no issues.
I would buy this right now if it had flat screen and proper waterproof.
I am confused between 12 and 12R
I loved my op7, but there is one more caveat with the update situation. Not only they offer less updates but they are late. Maybe not the first update, but once you are in the second or third year the updates come very late. However the advantage of OnePlus is the battery life and charging speed. I miss it now.
OnePlus= OPPO
What a newsflash.
OPPO = Nothing Bad for the user.
No shit dude. What?
How much is it of an upgrade over the Oneplus 11?
In terms of camera there's a lot of improvement
@@nikatapi gotcha. Thanks
what about the green line
not a problem on most oneplus phones anymore, i've had mine for about 6 months and no green line
OnePlus 12 uses a BOE display. The green lines happened due to a defect in Samsung displays
OxygenOS 14.1 update="Smooth beyond belief" It was the one that changed the whole scenario to keep the brand reputation as promised!!
