I got the 12 a little over a week ago and removed sim from s24 ultra and wow what great experience with the 12. I was really surprised at how good this phone is especially with the last update. 512 gig model OnePlus 12 is a beast with long lasting battery.

It's been stated that they didn't want to pay for the certification for IP68, if you watch any phone teardowns, you'll see the exact same rubber seals as any other IP68 rated phone.. There's a video of a OP12 submerged I think for over 30min and no issue whatsoever.

[@Wickiup]

I pre-ordered two OnePlus 12's for $599 each and my husband and I both love them! No camera issues whatsoever and it takes better photos than my Pixel 6 Pro did. I love a curved screen but would have been happy with a flat screen too. Our previous phones were OnePlus 11's, which were also great but our 12's are even better!

I love my OnePlus 12 and much prefer than cameras and in particular the color science on here over my old S23 Ultra. Couldn't stand the over saturated look on Samsung cameras and had to switch

[@nandhuvardhan3296]

Hey bud, as you are also owner of both s23ultra & Op12. Which ui is superior One ui or oxygen os.? And what about camera quality between both which is better.? Please take time to reply Thankyou in advance

[@9rit]

@@nandhuvardhan3296 To be honest, I think I prefer One UI over oxygen OS overall. I think both are pretty close in reliability though I think One UI gets updates more often... It depends on what you want to use in each OS. For instance, I miss the function to crop and pin specific text from One UI and miss the pen from S23U. However, I prefer the easy swipe up to turn window into a pop up window + 3 finger swipe to screenshot is way better than palm swipe (which i use often). Opening recent tasks is also much easier on OP12 IMO, you don't have do swipe up as high which feels more natural. It also depends on other feautres such as the fast charging (which i love on OP12). As for camera quality, it really depends on what you need from the camera. For me, I prefer the much more natural rendition color science and less sharpening from OP12 compared to Samsung's over saturated and over sharpened look. To be honest, I think you should take MKBHD's camera blind test to see which phone camera you prefer most. I got 2 pixels and 1 OnePlus for my top 3 cameras (as those OnePlus and Pixel have more similar photos).

[@anilgeorge1988]

I was also confused between iqoo 12 and oneplus 12, but one thing helped me made my decision, resale value of oneplus is far higher than iqoo. You will get good price even if you plan to sell it after 4 or 5 years

[@nandhuvardhan3296]

There's no confusion between one plus 12 and iqoo 12. Iqoo 12 is best in its price range under 55k and one plus is best in its price range 65k. If you can spend 65k one plus is the king. If your budget is under 55k iqoo12 takes it everything. Both phones are beasts but one plus 12 software and cameras are far more superior than iqoo12. But when it comes to gaming performance iqoo12 takes the crown no doubt. One plus had some throttling while gaming although it also good for gaming but iqoo12 wins in gaming

[@IntergalacticOperator]

Come to oneplus 12 this year, after last time on 2016 i used oneplus one

[@xdexdaflex]

I just got the phone and my impression is good but idk if it's just me but every time I get a new device the battery life seems to drop fast because I always look at the percentage but I hope that's just me, and for performance you said it stays cool in intensive games but in my personal experience that can't be further from the truth it thermal throttles in minutes and fps gets locked at 55

[@DominicClifton]

I sent mine back for a refund, the clock on the lock screen and the notification shade is unusable because oneplus made a stupid decision to make the hour digits deep red when they are '1'. Everyone is complaining about it, I went though the OnePlus support channels and this was the reply I received: `I would like to kindly inform you that the red number 1 is a tribute to our brand, it's part of OnePlus logo. It always been red for number one in OnePlus clocks. Therefore, you can rest assured the clock is not broken. This is a default feature and it cannot be changed.` My current phone is a OnePlus 3T, and it does not have an unreadable red clock. Why no-one mentions this in reviews is beyond me as being able to quickly tell the time is basic functionality. Community posted workarounds do not work. I'm not rooting my phone and breaking my banking apps and google pay to try and fix it myself.

[@MannyGraal]

I wanted to get the OnePlus 12, but it had the curve screen, so I didn't end up getting it. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 with its curve display, it cracked from the side, and they told me they didn't fix my phone due to it being a curved display. At least the places I went to get it repaired. From there, I never got a phone with a curve display.

[@gmosc]

I am pretty sure that the waterproof ratings are based on fresh water. Salt water doesn't count. You might want to be more careful at the beach with whatever phone you take there.

[@THEKINGSLAPPA]

I've owned the Samsung S24 ultra and the Oneplus 12. The Samsung S24 ultra does have the nicer screen, flat square edges, better camera, AI, different OS. Given all that, the Oneplus has very very fast charging, much better face recognition and fingerprint recognition. Like it's not even close to Samsung S24. The swipe up to unlock is much more forgiving. Meaning the oneplus is much easier to swipe to unlock the screen. The phone does have IP65 however it does have the seals for IP68 meaning it could be even more water resistant than rated. The screen's rounded edges are much more comfortable than the S24. Edges dig into your hand when holding the s24 phone. You definitely need to get a case for the Oneplus 12. It's slippery! After using the S24 and Oneplus 12, I decided to return the S24 and keep the Oneplus 12. I couldn't be happier. Oh and the Oneplus has 120x zoom. I've never seen the moon with all it's craters in such detail 🌕
