OnePlus is the only brand that has an aura to give nightmares to Samsung and Apple. Wait for the OnePlus 13 launch, rumours say that it's gonna have 6000mAh battery and crazy AI features 💀 with ip 68 & ip 69 rating 💀
The ergonomics is the problem. The camera housing is too big, the height is too tall, the thickness at 8.9 mm is not ideal, and the curves are quite sloppy. I bought it and returned it. OnePlus has to improve the ergonomics of the phone. The first attraction of a phone to me is how it feels in my hand
The only thing preventing me from copping this thing is its size. It's absolutely massive, and despite the specs, features and familiarity, if my 1+9 is too big with its 6'5-inch display, I can only imagine what it'd be like to work and exercise with a phone like the 1+12. Seriously, it'd be a no-brainer if it was even 0.4 inches smaller.
Honestly, even compared to a OnePlus 8 pro, it feels bigger and ALOT heavier, it's a BRICKKKKK at 220g, and I just realised the Xiaomi 14 is 188g and 6.3 inch. That would be a better buy if u want a smaller phone
we are human built to adapt.. remember many years ago when we thought that 5.5in screen was already massive? you will adapt.. give it a try if you really like everything else about it..
We can see different problems in oneplus mobiles according to the manufacturing countries, i got my oneplus 12r directly from usa, i have been using the device for 7 months and still now it has the same performance with no issue.
I watched this just to support " the youngster" . I was surprised by your talent. Good points. Nice way you weaved in your opinion. I've researched the 12 ,extensively, not buying. That's on oneplus vs Samsung. Keep going, find a groove thst you can profit from . In the meanwhile, keep the day job ( to fall back on or fund the production).
the only gripe with this phone is the IP rating for me, the aqua touch on the screen can't be really utilized properly if you're afraid to get it wet since it only have low ip rating. from what i heard new battery tech on op13, new SD 8 gen 4, similar screen fingerprint sensor like in samsung ultra series, better IP rating, the lessen the curved.
Agree. Ever since I started using the OnePlus 12, my S23 Ultra has been lying in the drawer. OpP 12 is a great phone with stellar performance and silky smooth UI. Amazed!

@@Techsnowball anti reflective screen... puts tempered glass, cause most people wants to protect their hard earned phone and its expensive, most people don't even notice this feature honestly.
It looks so bad, it will be wayy too slow, on paper it's like 1/4 of the power of an average midrange phone which is already weak. And around 1/10 of OnePlus 12 lol. If I were you I would really try to save for a poco phone for gaming. X6 pro or maybe something used
we indian belive in rumours too easily that we hate everything with even single negative point, take poco for example. we should understand that even spacecrafts fail.
@@macbook-rd7pqNot really, Pocos are built terribly, especially the X2/X3 Pro series, so bad that almost all of them got motherboard issues. Secondly, OnePlus's Indian Variants and US/Europe Variants are built differently, the quality control and materials used are sometimes different depending on regions even for the same model. For example, OnePlus used Dragontail glass for OP11 Indian, and Gorilla Glass 5 for OP11 US. Hence Indians hate back OnePlus.
Bro i am planning to buy OnePlus 12 in upcoming sale Should i buy this device Or u prefer any alternatives And considering motherboard issues and also screen guard protector options 😕 Uv glass membrane etc
i've never heard of any motherboard issues, but the screen is deifnitely annoying to apply a screen protector. I do recommend this phone but Nothing phone 2 is also really great with a flat screen. or a pixel 9
Hope they launch op13 with a flat screen. I will buy that then. Now I don't care about the processor and ram and battery. Most brands reached a level that we don't have to care about speed and battery and camera.
Hey bro, I'm planning to buy OnePlus 12 but I'm a bit hesitant due to the fear that it might develop green lines in the future. Can u break the wall for me, are the green lines a threat
I doubt its a problem, some people are reporting this online, but most people are just saying what they heard. If anything happens Oneplus will repair it for free anyway
Hey, see, the op green line issue was due to a samsung display which almost all the phones were having, at that time. There are no green line issue for the op12 since they have changed the display from samsung. And even if op faces a green line issue, they will change it for free.
I was about to buy a phone frm OnePlus, buy as a custom rom enthusiast , OnePlus doesn't support the bootloader unlock that's a loss. But if we keep the software aside the build is really good with nowadays the camera catching up🎉
Hi..great video...just subscribed to your channel Just one question tho... Does your OP12's camera also make rattling noice if you shake it a lil.??? cause mine is making it (or I just started noticing it idk tbh) and it's freaking me out (I know it's mainly because of OIS but it's quite LOUD I guess
The OnePlus 12 may not be the phone of the year mainly because of the camera I can tell because I own it but I think it will be the best value phone of the year
From a point and shoot it was more than good enough to pass, but from a pro pov it was pretty disappointing. The Tele camera locked away from third party camera apps 🤦♂️
@Techsnowball yeah the third party apps part was pretty disappointing and i mostly don't like the camera because of the low shutter speed and the video quality in low light I think they're increasing the shutter speed on the 13
this is not even a problem, its just indian scamsung fans that keep hating, oneplus 10-12 series has no greenline problem, also it was due to low quality samsung amoled, even s20-22 have greenline problem but samsung only gave replacement for limited time, oneplus gives lifetime replacement
I can't recommend OnePlus enough. My first was 5T (2017, still working), and I'm writing this from 7 Pro - bought when it came out in 2019, literally falling apart on the outside - but working perfectly. Getting the Ace 3 Pro soon, hopefully. I just wish more people knew what an amazing brand this is.
I checked your channel, and a quick glance shows you will address low priced items. Thats fine. But , the big buck phones make people nervous about spending big. Then , they search more for imput. You will plateau quick , because of the smaller sales of less popular items. Not your talent. Choose wisely and rent a phone for a review. I love my McLaren 7t pro 5G & ulefone 18t armor ultra . But Samsung has a " non - Apple" ecosystem, pixel - yuk.. You will eat better by following the masses.
Not bad at all, but I will say the curved screen lost me. I had nightmares with curved display on S7 Edge, Oneplus 7 Pro and I won't buy anything that's not flat screen.
Oneplus is good but any oneplus phone after oneplus 8 cannot be trusted . oneplus 9 and 10's motherboards are dying just by software updates. ever since oneplus sold out to oppo, there phones have had major issues with software.
@@Techsnowball this is mostly happens in india with india variants its OP 10, with the software update. this issue is not really present on op12, only app switching delay, screen defects (unbalanced gray at low light, ghosting). OP software updates are delayed on global and cn releases.
@@Techsnowball mainly software, it just felt unfinished. Don't get me wrong, it was far smoother than the s24 ultra that replaced it, but there were so many things that I missed from one UI in the past.
@@Classicpunch94 I'm curious what's so good about one ui. Ur not the first person to say that. To be fair tho, on OnePlus if you search for an app you don't have, you get ads/sponsored results and it just looks so cheap and unfinished. Probably my least favourite thing about the software
The one plus 12 is beast and i was looking forward to buy it, but recently there are lot of issues regarding green line on display and now motherboard issues, so i am backing off🥺
@@muizzvantmuri7698 so these issues never came so early, if you see after one or two years when update came it starts happening. I am currently using one plus 7t from last 5 years and very much satisfied with this amazing phone and I was looking forward to buy op12 only but now I have trust issues with op
Don't use one plus phone's first green line problems now dead motherboard problem and they are not replacing it don't waste ur hard earned money... Stay safe... And boycott one plus mobiles...
