They would actually do a full sized show with just their "I" blaster able to control their laptop, tablet, headphones, VR, pods everything... Market it as the "future" of technology, and then there would be ytube videos of how to HACK ur neighbor's TV and WiFi... (For context, these things have already been done 5 years ago, but it's just that apple would make it seem that they invented it) 😅😂 Also, their "I" screen with Hydro sense would supposedly work even if u got coffee on it and left it submerged in koolaid for a week...

@ooogyman I too had one, one of the best smartphones I owned, my OnePlus 7T, but had to replace it because its board died suddenly 😢. Now I own the Pixel 7 Pro, which is so good in all aspects, except in the case of the battery life and charging speed. I remember my 7T could charge up to 60%-70% in just around half an hour, and of course it gave more than 11 hours of SOT with normal use. It was able to take high quality photos with the GCams and also smooth and stabilized video with the stock cam, even with the zoom cam.

[@satejpatil2618]

I'm still using OP7T. Honestly one of the best phones of all time.urs still smooth and other brand new androids don't compare. The old Oxygen was just something else. Even the camera holds up to this this day (🤞🏻 since I've not really tested and flagships from last 2 years). I don't want to switch. They don't make phones like that anymore. The OP12R seems like a good bang for the buck but I still can't get over the color OS. Only if it has Oxygen.

[@GAMEBOIMARCUS]

@@satejpatil2618 I have to trade my OP7 Pro in, but having that and the OP9 Pro, Oneplus definitely improved since the 7 Pro. It wasn't a huge leap, but the 7 Pro also wasn't a peak.

[@DESOUL3003]

The real reason why this phone stood out to me and just changed my life is the charging speed. I became a oneplus believer in a matter of minutes, I'm not even joking. I am able to use this phone for 1-2 days and then then charge it back up with that SUPERVOC 100W charging in minutes, it's a super game-changer that I never knew I needed. I can literally just play some wild rift for 4 hours and get my battery down to 20%, then I leave it in for 5 minutes? It goes up to 50%. I leave it for 10 minutes? Okay now it's up to 80%! ...I leave it for 15 minutes on charge? It's back to 100%. It's literally crazy, I never knew this ultra charging is going to such an amazing feature... and Now I simply can't imagine a phone without it. So unless other brands adopt this 100W+ charging technology, I'm not even going to look the other way.

[@kae2678]

There's literally other brands that have fast charging, for example xiaomi has 120w charging even on their midrange 400$ phones lmao

That framrate setting is pretty dope

[@alexandruilea915]

The question is, does it just interpolate over what the app serves already or can really overwrite it's running setting. Like if a game was designed for 30 fps, can you push it to 120 or just "create" frames to compensate?

[@ahsan.v8]

@@alexandruilea915no,it just forces the display to constantly run at a fixed refresh rate,not the actual content of the app. Basically turns off LTPO for that app. For example,I have a Oneplus 9 Pro and I play game called PUBG Mobile which has the option to run at 90 fps. But my phone's display is designed to be forced to 60hz while playing games as to avoid overheating. So there's no way for me to take advantage of the 90 fps option. In this phone,you can just force the display to refresh at higher frame rates so when you turn on 90 fps option in the game you can actually see the difference.

[@angelomarzocchi4202]

​@@alexandruilea915It does both actually. It has a frame generator chip for games to run at 120hz even if they were not designed to do it and it can force 120hz on standard apps

[@leking007]

​@@ahsan.v8 getting more fps than your refresh rate is still better than just 60fps, i.e. improved latency

[@ahsan.v8]

@@leking007 maybe in PC but nah in mobile it makes it worse. You get the overheating for the game being processed at 90 fps but visibly the game looks worse than when just running it at 60 fps. Also the phone overheats so much when rendering the game at 90 fps that the processor actually throttles after 5 minutes of gaming and then I can barely get 30 fps. But that's just Oneplus 9 specific problem since it has Snapdragon 888 which is notorious for generating too much heat for too little work and the phone has a pretty bad cooling system. It's improved in newer models from what I'm seeing.

I have mine for a week now 16/512GB and it's insane. Best screen i have seen so far even the edges don't change that. The battery is crazy 16hours screen on time is no problem. 26minutes from 0-100% Connection is good even at places where i normally have bad signal. Performance is typical for the snapdragon 8 gen3. Oxygen os 14 is also a big upgrade to oos13. The camera is one of the best on the market. There is less after editing on the pictures so they seem less vibrant but very realistic. With pro mode it's perfect for nearly every shot. Front cam is basic but it's good. Nothing special. The speakers are nice and the rumbles are the best I've felt so far. Even better then iPhone haptic feedback. That all and more for less then 800€ is a perfect deal. PS: they already launched oppo ai on china version so maybe in the near future there will be ai on oxygenOS too.

[@laurenhiggs9219]

I got mine at the end of january and it lasted 2 weeks before the screen when blank and unresponsive. sent it off, got it back super quick. However, I didn't want to mess around setting it up again for hours so left it on the side for a month. Just set it up again last night and the screen has gone again. I'm so disheartened about losing all my data the first time and now it's happened again. I hope they replace it this time rather than a simple software update like they did last time. I also bought the matching case and it feels so rough to touch I replaced it right away.

It seems like a gesture would be a much more convenient shortcut to the find in page function. Otherwise this makes about as much sense as starting your car to have it turn on the toaster.

Lmao. It’s a bug that has been reported to OP and they will rectify it in the future.

@@itsAbhyudaya exactly tf is this guy on about "ThiS isnt ActuAllY a buG 🤓☝"

[@TheSiZaGaming]

it's not a bug, I'm assuming it's somehow the same shortcut to open "Find in Page" and the same shortcut that the alert slider uses

[@DRcatscratch]

Even my open has this lolll

[@gregorgovekar3674]

Really glad you made this video. Hope some other companies start to bring some of the features to their phones too!

[@MickdeRaad]

The bug where it triggers the search box in a browser when changing the alert slider has been a bug on oneplus phones for literal years. Not sure why they have not fixed that by now.

On low light - I took side by side pictures with my OnePlus 12 and Pixel 8 (not pro) on the normal wide lens in very low light. The 12 took 1/12 the amount of time to take the picture, came out just as bright AND the Pixel was blurry. OnePlus retained more fine detail and honestly really shocked me. Dont sleep on this phone!! It's frigging incredible. Also, Pixel 8 feels SLOW going back to it (I gave it to my daughter) and fast charging is life changing. That is all ❤️

[@ankith1729]

What about the little software featuress that Google has all over the phone, did u feel like you wouldn't need it? Like the magic eraser and other stuff

[@nathanvrvrt]

@@ankith1729i dont have a pixel or so but to be honest i dont think you need the ai stuff on your phone, more of a gimmick. But just opinion not because i have it on my phone.

[@raulv98]

@@nathanvrvrtI feel the same about those. I’m on iOS, but I have a Poco F1 with Pixel Experience and those features feel like a gimmick without any real life use. Samsung on the other hand presented some cool features, since the circle to search and summarise this page seem really useful.

[@yensteel]

I think danny pointed that as well on the older phones. It's a surprise that the Pixel 8 is still the same. The iPhone tends to be pretty fast for night-time shots and so is the Oneplus. Samsung's pretty fast as well, and the shutter speed of the S24U was said to be even faster than before.

[@TheChiraagG]

@@ankith1729 I have a Zenfone 10, but I get Magic Eraser, Portrait Blur modes and other features like that in my Google Photos app because I have a Google One account. I used to love my OnePlus 7T Pro, but neither the Zenfone or the older OnePlus are anywhere near Pixel quality in terms of camera processing out of the box - that's what you will miss more than the tools themselves. My wife's Pixel 6 is consistently better and more accurate with shots.

There's something weird going on with your coloring in this video. It keeps going in and out in some scenes, and looks a little oversaturated or something. Very strange. Excellent and informative video as always though, thanks so much!

[@rret6885]

It was recorded on a Sammy.

[@jjunture]

You mean I watched that Waveform clip for NOTHING?!?!

[@vivaanreddy8771]

Yep

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Thank X users for this video. 🤣🤣🤣

[@adityachatterjee7181]

Got views on the waveform podcast, will get views on this review as well. Big brain move 😂😂

i got the 12r and am absolutely loving it, damn good battery, customizeable settings, cut out all the bs features they bloat modern flagships with. i upgraded from a galaxy S9+ and this phone is almost identical to what i was used to. my biggest downsides are the gestures not working all the time, like while a game is starting up i can't go back to homescreen unless i use buttons instead of gestures. i also miss my bixby button because it was remapped to a flashlight- this phone has nice screen off gestures for flashlight and media play but i miss the tactile button
