(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

I doubt he feels that way. As a KZbinr, he needs to make content that people will want to watch.

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.

I bought the OP12. I was sceptical of buying it over Pixel 8 Pro because hardware performance and battery life is my priority. And I have to say that this is a banger phone. The performance, the battery, the camera, the display - there's nothing I could hate even if I tried. The camera does need a bit of work, but I found it better than than my sister's iPhone 15. The only thing I dislike is the curved display. I'm pleasantly surprised and in love with this phone.

[@BigBallBearingturBo]

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.

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.

Why is that? Isn't one plus really good?

[@8000860]

1. They promised 3 years of system updates for OnePlus 7T Pro, but did only 2 actually. 2. They released last update one year late! 3. They literally killed the phone with an update (even though they release it late). 4. They promised AoD, and never did it. 5. They didn't fix 60/90 Hz still, for 4 years already. Literally, OePlus is SCAM company. And I wasted serious money on McLaren model. OnePlus? Never again!

@@8000860 damn that's bad! Good thing I went for a Samsung Galaxy S23 plus. Do you think I made the right choice??

I have this phone and am about to return it. It has little annoyances that stack up: • Screen off battery drain is bad, around 1.8-2.3% per hour with the AOD, according to AccuBattery. 1.3% without AOD. • The media player requires extra clicks to get to the scrubbing bar (when pulling down) • The notifications have weird quirks. Marques talked about these last year. Clicking a collapsed stack of notifications doesn't open the app but just expands the stack. • Gestures with 3rd party launchers have a terrible, long pause when swiping up to go home.

Damn... I have OnePlus 11 and I have better battery drain than that. And my battery health is 98% since buying in April. 0.9% per hour AOD drain screen off

Uninstall accubattery , disable the fingerprint scanner,. disable AOD. Maybe you will see a difference in battery drain. I know for sure that these features are consuming the battery.

@@inconnu299 the only reason I installed AccuBattery in the first place was to find out what was draining the battery. I don't usually use it

11:30 - A glitch in MKBHD video…? Never expected such flaw

[@gretashapiro4118]

recent study conducted by the University of Edinburgh and Trinity College Dublin found that Android phones from Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, and Realme collect and send a lot of sensitive data without user consent

[@KaZe-gs2ru]

Damn. I am on the Pixel 6a right now and planned on using it *atleast* until the last security update but this is honestly super compelling. OnePlus 12 has absolutely NAILED every single thing I care about in a phone and now I feel like switching soon. The only reason I might NOT switch is the low light camera quality because I love clicking pictures in low light and in the night time. BUT mannnn, they have so many more useful features!!!! IR BLASTER??? THE HIGH FREQ PWM DIMMING???? THE AQUA TOUCH FEATURE??? AND LASTLY A 5400 MAH BATTERY WITH 80W CHARGING????
