One Year Later, This Phone Is Still Unrivaled...

The OnePlus 12 was pretty much my main phone all year💪

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

It’s such a good phone indeed my friend. Glad to hear

[@tacticalsanti5438]

Super worth it in Canada, stacking student discounts + black Friday deals, the S24U was over 1400cad, OnePlus 12 was 770cad. I think you'd be hard pressed to justify almost double for the ultra

Are you allowed to have that screen name in Canada? 😂

Wow yeah. You can get a freaking computer for that difference 👀. Good to know

[@Ezz-k836x]

Idk what you're on about. I had the opportunity to get the S24U 512GB at launch for 449 CAD. Granted that included trading in a phone but I highly doubt OnePlus has these kinds of enhanced trade in deals.

[@tacticalsanti5438]

@Ezz-k836x I was talking black Friday prices with no trade in. What phone were you trading in ? And was it straight through Samsung Canada?

[@ccroy2001]

I have the 12R. It's my 1st OnePlus product and I'm impressed. The UI is nice, the build quality, the alert switch, etc. Thought I wouldn't like the curved screen but I'm fine with and it makes the phone easy to hold for a large phone. I just got Android 15. Will probably consider the OP 14 or 15 in a couple of years.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Yeah that 12R is too good for the price. Glad you’ve been well taken care of

I got the 12R too during Black Friday. I'm in love with the battery on this thing...

The OnePlus 12 is an amazing smartphone with decent cameras. The battery life rocks, after taking pictures and listening to music for hours I still have 70 percent battery life left. I will definitely purchase the 13 when it comes out.

[@andrewsolis2988]

Apple user until the 6 Plus when I got tired of getting the same crap every year. Went to Samsung until the S23U. Switched to the Pixel 8 Pro, now have the 9 Pro. They're buggy at first but give it a few updates...then perfection! People go nuts for the "Add Me" feature 😊

Jaime, nice to know that someone is still giving one plus their kudos. I don't know how moto and oneplus are still around however with how much of the market that has settled for the duopoly plus pixel. Now if htc made a comeback....

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Moto has actually been doing really well in the US. OnePlus is complicated as they're no longer on carrier channels with their flagships. Still, it only forces them to get creative about how to sell. I think they lost touch with their roots when they joined TMobile. It's so much better now, price-wise

[@412Kamikaze]

I really enjoyed this revisit of the OnePlus 12, Jaime. I'm a OnePlus user myself. Could you please do a revisit of the OnePlus Open since I'm strongly considering buying it?

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Dude.. I actually scripted this video on my OnePlus Open Apex. A friend got me the Oppo Pen, and man… I don’t think I’m going back to anything else. I’d say wait for the successor but if you can find a good deal, I adore this phone. Even use it without a case.

[@412Kamikaze]

@@JaimeRiveraTech Based on the rumored specs I hear for the Open 2, that'll be the one I go for!! How's your Open been handling dust? And, do you go to the beach with it?

[@kioulidis]

I got the OP12 back in April and switching from the iPhone 14 Pro I have to say that I'm being left in awe every single day since my purchase and I'll explain. First of all, that 100w charging capability really changed the game for me as there'd be times that wouldI completely forget to plug my phone to the charger before going to bed and while with the iPhone I would be condemned to going to my University class with whatever percentage was left from last night, with the OP12 I was up to 80% from 20% in just 15 minutes! Second of all, once I started taking photos of scenery during my summer vacation, the common myth that the iPhone has the best camera setup out there was immediately busted for me... In video probably yes but in photography the OP12 is miles ahead, and believe me, if you are a sworn apple fan, you gotta give a chance to the other side cause the camera specs on Android phones these days are mindblowing! Lastly, a thing that isn't talked about a lot is the thermals of the phone, this beast can handle anything you throw at it, all while remaining surprisingly cool, as opposed to the iPhones I've owned, which I remember got disturbingly hot during the summer...

This is a great video fella. I loved and often miss my one plus 12. Had one earlier this year and switched to the ultra 24 when it was on sale. Missed the One+12 my entire time owning the Ultra. Traded the ultra in on my current Pixel 9 pro XL, which i love, but the One + 12 is still missed and finally remembered as amazing. Better than the S24 Ultra, and not just because of price. I'm blessed to be in a place where 300-400 dollars means very little in terms of this one or that one. If the prices were switched, the One + would still be my pick. Great video fella.

[@jo05dk]

I had a couple of Oneplus phones, a 3+ and a 9 Pro. I loved my 3+. Paying what I did for the 9 Pro, compared to what I felt I got for my money, ended up making me angry with the brand. They had indeed lost their way at that time. Disillusioned with phone prices overall I ended up saying fuck it and buying an iPhone, a 14 Pro, to finally give the expensive option a chance. That has been good, and horrible, but when the time comes for a new phone again, I’m definitely going back to the imho better OS, Android. It fills me with hope watching this video. Perhaps OnePlus did manage to turn away from the disastrous course they were on. Looking at the prices, even the full fat 12 is a lot cheaper now than my min. spec 9 Pro was, AND it’s a good phone. That’s very promising. Looking forward to seeing what the 13 brings 🙂

Yeah the 13 is pretty hot

[@EverlastingSpud]

just not enough for me. The polish and little things of the 24 Ultra make it tough to beat. I would pick it over a Pixel though.

I was unimpressed with everything else for years, buying Samsung Phones for their cameras, Pixel phones for the same, and always being disappointed with SOMETHING - S10 being the only outlier, and S21 Ultra was close but had bugs and performance issues. Finally, wirh the OP12 they did enough in the camera department to make me consider coming back again and thank the Lord that I did. Easily my second favorite phone of all time after the OnePlus One and I can't believe it took them 10 years to put this type of package together again. Really happy with this thing!

[@venzo-t2w]

Totally agree on the looks of the phone. Love the sandstone case too. Oh yea, its $549 USD on their website

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I know! It was $649 when I wrote the script 🤣

[@ChrisPollard]

My daughter just got hers last month and loves it. The 512GB version was less than a 128GB Pixel 9 in Canada plus she used and loved my old 2016 OnePlus 3 until it took a dive in the lake this past summer. I don't know if the 12 will last her 8 years like the 3 did, but it's a great phone. The only strike against it in my eyes is the curved glass display. I hate them and have vowed to never own another one after the Note 10+ and Pixel 7 Pro. I said I'd never get another Note/Ultra until Samsung eliminated the curved displays, and that's why I pre-ordered the S24U back when it was announced. (Plus a killer insane trade on my old Note 10+!) I've been tempted to put a deposit on the OnePlus 13 to get some of the bonus discounts they're offering right now ... but I don't really feel any need to upgrade from the Ultra either.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Wow yeah you’re good. Glad she’s been enjoying it

[@markgordon9922]

I'm a big one. Plus fan, it didn't even come nothing. In any phone category for the year get lost in all positions. But I'm still the OnePlus man. Hopefully the 13 can do something special.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

It is 😉

[@1FXC]

I agree the OnePlus is a great phone. However the 13 has all the stuff of the 12 plus comes with 6yrs. of updates and security patches at about the same price. Which gives you more time to get a return on the phone should you want to sell it 2 yrs down the road.

[@9TF_SAIYAN]

But they fkd up with design...13 looks like a budget real me phone ...

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Oh totally. What makes the 12 compelling right now is getting all that for a lot less money

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Disagree

[@timbo1020]

Like that wallpaper!!! Where from?

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

It was on their stock wallpapers

[@ahmedog219]

Jaime, you dont know how much I appreciate your videos and contents. :) Could you please tell me one thing straight and forward? I am going to buy a phone in a moment between OnePlus 12 and Xiaomi 14. Which one should I get? Thanks, in anticipation.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Hard one. I prefer Xiaomi's photography but I hate their software, and frankly their designs are not my favorite. If it were my money I'd go OnePlus 12... Or heck if you could stretch to 13, you get software support for much longer

[@ahmedog219]

@@JaimeRiveraTech Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback. Happy Holidays! :)

[@nikhilmathew8698]

have there been any updates on the one plus 13 mini or the compact model!

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Not sure there will be one. They didn’t succeed at that with the X so many years ago.

[@CharanSiva-q5s]

I knew it when i was buying this phone that this phone is not gonna win any award as this phone is a jack of all trades but a master of none I'm very happy with this phones but the only issue is that the battery is sometimes inconsistent like every day i get 8 plus sot but sometimes likely one out of 30 days the battery sucks and give me like 4 to 5 hrs of sot

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Ha weird problem. No issue here. Wonder if it's some app draining your battery

[@michaelpaquette7776]

I can't from a pixel 8pro and its 10x better. When zooming in on a pixel camera, I consistently got fairy lights on the picture. I dont have that problem unless the light is extreme on the op12. I think this is the best android ecperience. I think the lack of 7 or 8 years of updates is fine because I don't plan on keep it that long.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

LoL, it's not better. Not even close. Absolutely no room for comparison until Google improves Tensor.. trying to understand your comment but if what you meant is that the 12 is better than the Pixel, oh yeah. For sure

[@jimmiegomile8059]

at 600 dollars its still extremely on the high side for anyone outside the US but its such a great phone

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

It’s $549 right now 👀

[@SCPbAn003]

We don't really get the discounts too, especially if the brand doesn't have official retailers then exchange rates😅​@@JaimeRiveraTech

[@noah2418]

​@@JaimeRiveraTech I paid slightly less for a pixel 9 and a year of unlimited at mint mobile. Much better value for me.

[@prabhusolomon897]

Best phone in OnePlus line up after a long time

[@arjunmohandas8870]

Moved from s24 ultra to vivo x200 pro. Man the camera is so so much better especially in low light. For one ui, I still keep a normal s24

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Dude, that X200 Pro is the best camera on a phone, hands down.

[@SauliusLT29]

Hi Brother i have leved my iPhone 13 pro max graphite 512 gb in the cabinet and bought it. Nothing Phone 1 white 12x256 Nothing Phone 2 Gray 12x256 i am blown away how incredible they working

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@9neters]

After 2 iPhones, I went back to Android with no regrets. I recently bought the OnePlus 12 at an amazing price. I love this phone.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Glad you feel proud of your purchase

[@MrOrtmeier]

If you want to use android this is definitely one of the best after the S24 Ultra. However I recently switched back to iPhone and am really enjoying it.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Agreed

[@evaristoleal623]

Would you make a video like this for a OnePlus Open?

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

That’s the plan. How do you think I scripted this video, LoL. It won’t happen yet though. Need some more time with it.
