My thoughts on the OnePlus 12 after the March updates and after nearly a couple of months of use. I have to say that it's an overall really great experience now that OnePlus has cleaned up a couple of items. The fingerprint sensor is better now and I like the minor improvements to the camera.

I like the updates they've made to the OnePlus 12!

[@1911loaded]

Cheaper better battery more memory. Fast charging with the brick included. Camera and video is fantastic. Haptic feedback is insane. Super fluid. And I can't stress enough the battery goes and goes and goes. This has been a God send for me as I live on this thing for work. And the cool thing is if I need a quick top off in 10 Mins I'm well over 50% and good for a gallizon more hours. There some quirks with the software but nothing that work detur me from buying again. This truly is the best bang for your buck if you ask me

[@xellestar]

mostly agree, upgraded from my 6T and not regretting it so far

[@c2thaj2tha71]

I agree 100%

OnePlus is the Toyota of phones

[@slices6500]

Just purchased a new Toyota Grand Highlander with a wireless charging pad so had to upgrade my OP11 to the wireless OP12. My bad.

[@DrArjunpaul]

Super review ! awesome way of saying successor of s10 plus

[@ricardoharris4604]

You can't get everything on a phone. No phone is perfect and has everything. But the OnePlus 12 is a well-balanced "flagship"phone that's packed with features for the price. There are things the Samsung s24 ultra has that the OnePlus 12 doesn't have, and vice versa. But the OnePlus 12 has cutting-edge technology that's definitely putting Samsung, Google, and Apple on notice.

[@levil4012]

Totally agree and on top of that you get the charger and screen protector IN THE BOX !!!!!

[@Ollieisskaxxx]

Op 12 with the IR blaster is a W !

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

About the updates: this phone supports unlocking the bootloader so if you know what you are doing you can get the latest version of Android via custom ROMs. Its not like Samsung where what they offer is the only option

[@H4554Nx]

Loving my oneplus 12 done with my s24ultra

[@ro4lol]

Look forward to your nerdery Steve thanks bro. Oneplus 12 definitely interested in it. And yeah i have an S10 and an S9 and im looking for alternatives now thanks man

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

It's a great phone. Also unlike Samsung OnePlus lets you unlock the bootloader so this phone will be getting lots of custom ROMs

[@ro4lol]

@@AdamSmith-gs2dv cool about the custom roms awesome

[@tadghcr2175]

Simple can be good. A lot of what sounds neat about it is subtle like the vapor chamber, stuff that's not in your face.

[@ricardoharris4604]

Don't forget the IR blaster and the aqua touch feature that no flagship phone has right now. This phone is just packed with awesome features that it's gonna take some time to learn more about them.

[@soumyajitchowdhury2807]

Only the IP68 rating isn't there. Other than that it has all the flagship features.

[@drakoran]

Yeah but it usually mean they didn't want to pay for the IP68. It's technically IP65, but I bet it has all the features to get at least the ip67.

[@flaviozanni6102]

Some people have tested it, it is waterproof, probably similar to ip67, they just don't wanna pay the certification

[@radiantveggies9348]

Lacking in software

[@drakoran]

@@radiantveggies9348 Because they don't use AI that much? I think that is a plus. Other than that OS is rock solid.

[@radiantveggies9348]

[@BarBoniPr0dUcTiiOnZ]

Interesting video! OP12 vs Honor Magic 6 Pro (price difference between the two negligible) which of the to would you guys choose? Cheers

[@charlottakarlsson9007]

Did / Do the OnePlus 12R also get the same updates?

[@snowps1]

Is One Plus still using Google apps as default, the phone, messages, calendar?

[@c2thaj2tha71]

I find it cool how you revisited this device, it shows that you actually use it in order for you to notice software updates and improvements and whatnot! 2 questions... - what's the current status of the RAM management? You said before that it was too aggressive, I infer that's been improved as well but what're your direct thoughts on that? - have you given the "Master" mode and "Movie" mode in the camera app a try? OnePlus is really focusing on manual control with their camera, rather than only a simple point-and-shoot experience

[@mosconioni4523]

The Best OnePlus phone to date, with so many improvements over my OnePlus 11. 💯% Pure no brainier for the price and performance compared to Samsung and Apple flagships

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

It's definitely worth the $100 price increase over the 11. It has basically fixed every issue that phone had

[@tomikuzmanic]

great phone, ill give you that. And is better that S24 ultra for battery life, charging, Oxygen OS, but not camera. Does not come close to S24 ultra so I went back to it. They are missing that killer camera. Too bad, I really like OP12

[@ttube111]

​@@tomikuzmanicI went from S24 Ultra to OP12. The cameras on S24 Ultra can't compete with Xiaomi 14, Oppo or Oneplus. Samsung is an over priced slab.

[@malekinception]

Master mode is incredible

[@tpolarbeart]

I have owned a few oneplus phones and loved them. I switched to an iPhone 14 pro last year and have hated ios so much. My wifes iphone 11 pro broke so she is taking my old phone and I ordered this phone. Considering they are giving me $170 for my old oneplus 7 pro and another $60 coupon code I found online the price was only $570 and even if it's not the absolute best it's so close while being a fraction of the price of the competition. Can't wait to be back on android.

[@ManuelTorres-xb1ky]

I got it its all great. But they did lie about that 4k nitts. Outside its more dim than the s23 ultra and definately dimmer than the s24 ultra. cant complain since its got a better UI , same camera, same but faster charging batteries and it was on 640 dollars for me with 100 dollar disc and student discount. Oh and it came with the earbuds if you ordered in the app 2 weeks ago.

[@ro4lol]

Non existent idle drain? Wow!!! Man why these guys dont give me microsd lol. Still. Pretty interested. Gonna hold on a bit. Want to swap my iphone 11 for 13 pro max. I run 4 fones on the daily 😊😊😅😅

[@Grace-le9kb]

OnePlus 12 not so cheap here in the little emerald Isle, 1100 euro to be precise, that must be 1250 dollars, not understanding the difference in price between the two regions, if anyone know why the big difference in price, would love to know, please share what you think the difference in is ❤❤ from Ireland

[@FloForego]

OsygenOS vs ColorOS? B32 is missing, Other than that, it's the same as the China version, buy over tradingshenzhen with OxygenOS

[@SuperUzbekbola]

1st update was 6.7 Gig, second update weight 1.1 gig😊 good job

[@mikem.3158]

does the fingerprint now work when the display ist off? and when you use AoD and turn off the fingerprint symbol it stopped working, is this now fixed?

[@1911loaded]

Yes and no. When AOD is on and it goes to sleep for a while often if the phone is flat there no finger print reader visable. You have to pick it up. Kind of like a raise to wake .

[@KarthickCdm]

Wallpaper?

[@therealsprint]

How's the device in daily usage? How's the size and weight of it? I don't know if I should buy it because now I'm using a device which weighs only 172g and has only a 6,5" screen. It's difficult because I can't test it on a local store.

[@raviboyapati7170]

I had the same questions and concerns regarding the weight of the phone but once I started using it OMG it's seriously the best phone in hand. It takes one or two days to adjust to the weight and the display size but the curved display looks beautiful and easy to handle even though it's 6.82. I would say go for it.

[@therealsprint]

@@raviboyapati7170 thx

[@pocketPliers]

Sometimes when I hit the home button, or the multitask button, it just blanks out. Same with Snapchat and the camera. Super weird. Other than that and the curved display, the 1+ 12 is absolutely perfect for me.

[@hfwong7621]

is there a lot of bug with oneplus 12?

[@whysoserious4464]

The OnePlus 12 seems like a great phone. But my 10 pro is still going strong

[@larrymtz83]

No offense but there is a huge performance difference between past oneplus phones and the op12 in everything camera,software, battery if you was waiting for an almost perfect phone from oneplus this is the one

[@Bleeblop424]

i've been hearing lots of people saying that the ant reflection glass and ai features on the s24 ultra is worth the price, does anybody notice the lack of the anti reflective glass and ai features or does the extra brightness compensate for the reflection.

I haven't noticed it being an issue.

[@raviboyapati7170]

No issues at all.

[@Bleeblop424]

@@raviboyapati7170 nice thanks for the help

[@ttube111]

I had and sold the S24 Ultra. The anti reflective only works if you have no screen protector or you use an official Samsung one - which is a plastic film. Soon as you put on tempered glass, you lose the anti reflective feature. So if that is a deal breaker for you, think about this.

[@Bleeblop424]

@@ttube111 thank you for the info i will take that into consideration

[@ultraviolettp3446]

I've had my 12 since pre-order delivered in Feb. I have had no issues and have noticed nothing with regards about updates and any changes in the phone after installing. This phone is just great for the money and makes me wonder why anyone would spend Fruit Company or Samsung money for a phone. My guess is they want to show off how stupid they are with their money rather than showing prudent spending.

[@green9227]

Great phone, no mmwave support is what keeps me away from the oneplus. I have mmwave in my area. I enjoy those gigabit speeds on my s24 plus that you cannot get on this phone.

[@ro4lol]

Wow what's mmwave?

[@green9227]

​@ro4lol It one of three flavors of 5g low band get you best range and penetration. Midband offers a balance of faster speeds and higher range. Then there mmwave witch has fastest speeds but has shortest range. This phone doesn't have support for all three flavors of 5g only low band and midband.

​@@infinity16588writing from my S10lite...super performance till now...

[@J.Wick.]

In NO Universe is the S24 Ultra smoother or faster than this. OneUI offers tons of utility that no other launchers offer. But smoothness or snappiness has never been one of them. There is no smoother android experience than this IMO. The cameras are nothing to scoff at either. If OP ever decides to offer a good, software backed, internally stored stylus a la SPen, there's gonna be some problems at Sammy 🤷

[@redstickham6394]

Based on features and cost, this phone definitely gives Samsung something to worry about.

You're acting like S24U is the only Samsung phone to exist. Yes, I don't wanna spend 500$ to get One UI. You know why? Because I can get the One UI for the same price as OP12. In a world where I can buy the S24 base model for 800$, why the heck would I buy a lesser phone like OP12 for the same price? Not to mention the brand value and reliability of Samsung's hardware. The S24 clears the floor with OP12, not even close.
