🚨WATCH THE FULL VIDEO🚨 My reviews are honest and im not paid a single dollar! I take usually a month to use these phones and gather notes daily and based on the things i gather I compare it to what the manufacturer is claiming! 😊 I also accidentally said the side of the phone is stainless steel but its aluminium dont come at me plz😅

[@levil4012]

The OnePlus 12 in a nutshell is a STELLAR phone, beautiful screen, stellar battery life, priced competitively and can definitely hang and most of the time surpass the so called flagships..i for one love the curved screen...

[@PouyaAziz]

One plus 12 is a great phone and i did recommend the phone at the end of the video to viewers! I just dont like when companies throw out numbers that has fine print because a normal consumer will not read and might be disappointed as a reviewer i take a month testing these phones daily and i write down the good and the bad and i understand i have pissed off some one plus fans but i just said my opinion on the phone😊

[@gudlutripathy3283]

​@PouyaAziz how is the display for watching multimedia contents compared to S24ultra...please suggest...love from lndia.

[@PouyaAziz]

@gudlutripathy3283 in general its better than s24 ultra for watching content but under direct sunlight s24 ultra is brighter!

[@gudlutripathy3283]

​@@PouyaAzizright

[@H4554Nx]

Its better than the s24 ultra for me that's for sure i got both

[@ankitchauhancr7]

I feel you were too harsh on this phone. I'm a power bank person too and with such great battery life, I don't mind waiting an hour for slow charging. And tbh, you don't even need a power bank because of the insanely fast charging. And the aqua touch feature works incredibly well while typing. Most phones I've seen either don't respond/respond erratically to touches while wet, or if they do, they definitely cannot type. The OnePlus 12 does. It's unlike anything I've ever seen, very impressive and useful. Also, it shouldn't be compared to the S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max imo. Those phones are literally double the price of the OP12 in my country. The fact that it competes and even beats those phones in some categories is an insane achievement in itself. If you compare it to phones actually in its price segment like the iQoo 12, Xiaomi 14 etc., it beats them all. (I would've mentioned the Pixel 8 too but I stopped taking Pixel phones seriously when they switched to their own chips from the Snapdragon chips because of the huge performance and battery difference). The only cons I've noticed so far are that the fingerprint sensor is mediocre (but the great face unlock makes up for it) and the front camera is average (I'm not really a selfie person anyway so it doesn't matter to me). Other than those two things, in every other category, it's either world class or the very best. And at a non-ridiculous price. 9/10 for me.

[@PouyaAziz]

I was harsh on things that didn’t work like advertised or was a fine print!

[@PouyaAziz]

Also about comparing it to the likes of samsung and apple , check out one plus’s social media for example tik tok all they do day and night is making fun of apple and samsung and saying how amazing their product is! They are pushing this product to be a flagship phone so it gets compared to flagship phones.

[@ankitchauhancr7]

@@PouyaAziz well, I guess I don't care about marketing and advertising as much as you

[@daoudaddy]

fully agree

[@stevencorbo1220]

So frustrating if you guys want a flat screen buy an iPhone or the new Samsung stop screwing up a few curved screens we have left

[@PouyaAziz]

Sorry😅😂

[@aatishtipu4182]

Hey, is your oneplus 12 fast charging 100w? Does it charge 100% in 30mins?

[@zbyslaw50000]

​@@aatishtipu4182 Mine is

[@nikaiio]

I love the camera, makes the skin look so smoooth 😂

[@Farihcasm]

The OnePlus 12 is offering much more in its price range, I've got an AI update in which I can remove the unwanted objects from the image. I think it's a direct competition to higher price flagships 😂 and the 4500 nits brightness works on some pixels if you have watched the OnePlus 12 event live then only you can understand where actually the 4500 nits brightness works. Its High Brightness Mode(HBM) is 1600 nits. So before calling it a fake advertisement, you need to find out the truth first!

[@PouyaAziz]

Thanks for the information! I did not receive such update.

[@kaine8355]

When did you get the AI Update?

[@Farihcasm]

@@kaine8355 2 months ago

I haven't gotten that update yet 😢

[@alsodrakeized6220]

No way you guys didn't get the AI update yet. Check inside photo edit

[@Mikonik-pm2lb]

I love your videos, thank you for being honest and not just reading specs of the box. I bought the white btw its sooo beautiful 😍

[@PouyaAziz]

Yea the white is really classy 👍

[@nikosmak388]

Good review! Perfomance, signal ... day to day use is the most important in smartphones. About camera pls add more photo sample in order to compare next time.

[@adamwood66669]

What else you want at half price? About AI, Oneplus has started giving 'relevant' features and will be adding more in the future. I do admit that fact that Oneplus Camera is not at par with either iPhone or Samsung in Video but in capturing images it is at par if not better. Don't forget they are giving you inbox charger, pre applied screen protector and case. It's a beast giving all relevant features to a normal user at half price, when Apple and Samsung are burning up your pocket with their overpriced Ultra and Pro series. IMHO. Otherwise great review!

[@ankitaggarwal708]

Have u didn't get the update of camera lens switching 💕. If u get that update check that lens switching during the video its so smooth even smoother than s24 ultra

[@PouyaAziz]

At the time of recording this video i had no update for the camera , i put my overall thoughts using the phone for 1 month into this video. The transition wasn’t my issue tbh idk why people misunderstood me my issue was the jitters and colour changes when switching between lenses.

[@ankitaggarwal708]

@@PouyaAziz I am not saying that I am asking u whether you feel any improvement in videos after the updates

[@gudlutripathy3283]

Perfect analysis...love from lndia...l want the best display for watching multimedia contents. For this lwill wait for the S25ultra or 0P13. S24ultras display suffers from the grainy display issue or mura effect available in the low brightness in dark mode that has not been fixed with the latest software updates even indicating a hardware issue. That's why lm not upgrading to the S24ultra...And 0P has a curved screen...For multimedia contents boxy and flat display is best as one get more space on the screen...Thanks for speaking the truth...

[@AmrthPR]

One plus giving free replacement or discount for users who are affected with green line issue on the other hand samsung rejecting there faults and try to teach us there policy that what we need to focuse the after service

[@PouyaAziz]

Wow thats amazing i didn’t know thanks for the amazing info!

[@AmrthPR]

@@PouyaAziz great video by the way bro. I was a samsung fan boy but after last update getting those annoying white line on the screen but no support from Samsung

[@Lionheart87-kw6dp]

Great video help me alot thanks

[@PouyaAziz]

No problem 👍

[@Foshiee]

Don't think you can call it a negative that the fast charging is only with their products, since it's one of few brands that actually give you a charging brick and cable in the box.

[@PouyaAziz]

At the time of recording this video there was no powerbank that would support the oppo/oneplus fast charging but they just recently released a powerbank with the brand sharge that supports upto 45w which is amazing

[@tracksphantom540]

I just boght the One Plus 12 for 12 hour flights and long road trips in case of an emergency.🎉❤

[@jejunamja]

Good review …I think the phone should be compared maybe to the galaxy S24 plus and not the top phones of other manufacturers, and it will get more favorable opinion of the phone. Two things you didn’t comment on are the haptic engine, which is really well done on the Oneplus 12 and also the speakers are also really good but I agree with you about the curve screen cool but it definitely makes the phone more fragile.

[@PouyaAziz]

Thanks for your great feedback im still improving my videos and will talk about more things in the future 👍

[@user-te7ng7ck5r]

I was waitiiiing for this review man! Also ignore the haters, some people are not used to authentic things, they like the scripts better. 🥇🏅🏆 hyped for ur nothing phone video

[@MoneyMichx7]

I got the s23+ and most of the times cant even type properly, however the oneplus 10pro never had that problem so if you wanna talk about flat screen there is an example

[@PouyaAziz]

Hmm thats weird

[@MrChadLedford]

I also hate curved screens. If you are rough on phones they break so much more easily.

[@khabaraioi91]

This was the most fun review i have watched😂😂😂

[@PouyaAziz]

Thank u😆

[@johnbuela8120]

Honest review for your video, It seems you need a lot of progress when it comes to your comparison videos, your expression is too much obvious that you didn't want the phone, it's like you are forcing to like it, "it's okay", and please study more the product and observe it.

[@PouyaAziz]

I personally was really excited about this phone but it didn’t stand up to the hype that i had created for myself and again no hate great phone i was not super impressed.

[@Labios_Rotos]

If you want a flat screen, buy a low or mid range phone.

[@khabaraioi91]

Should i buy the one plus 12 or the 12r?

[@PouyaAziz]

If you are not on the budget get the normal 12 don't get 12r

[@MudflyWatersman]

12 all way

[@Lionheart87-kw6dp]

Oneplus 12 or asus rog 8 pro which one?

[@PouyaAziz]

ROG 8 pro for gaming but one plus is overall better

[@stevencorbo1220]

Aluminum not stainless steel

[@PouyaAziz]

It so shiny and metallic i thought its stainless steel,thanks for the info 👍

[@MudflyWatersman]

I don't mind the curved screen as much as you can't get a decent tempered glass protector to just put on it.....

[@PouyaAziz]

They usually never stick to the sides or i personally used to like curved screens too

[@ritchiebaxter627]

I've had curved screens. The best screen protection to apply are the wet applied ones

[@MudflyWatersman]

@@ritchiebaxter627 most people end up with bubbles.... They turn yellow and shrink eventually have to be replaced.... Covers up your selfie camera as well so that's not as good.... And many people get the glue into their buttons and mic hole, etc. I agree if somebody can do a really good job that's probably the best option.... But plenty of people have trouble with it

[@christinabrianmackie6481]

I like how u r not biased. Thank u for actually reviewing the phone and not just reading off of a script.

Initially a 7.5 but compared to the one plus 12 6.9! One plus has the better display,battery and camera compared to 15 pro max !

[@mhex8]

WTF..No differenxe with aquatouch??hahahaha..Dont know if theres something wronf with your finger..This is the only phone I can fully use when screen is wet..Damn.

[@PouyaAziz]

Maybe its my fault for not taking the plastic screen protector off ! You saw a 5 second clip from a 1 minute video that i recorded and it was more than 3 droplets that you said in your other comment. I also made fun of it that my testing wasn’t the most scientific testing. I did use the phone under the rain and gave it to few other people asking their opinion and they all said the same thing the difference its not that obvious.

[@johnbuela8120]

Hmm, it's not completely resistant, but when you compare it to other phones, you will see the difference.

[@zbyslaw50000]

For the last five years I have been using 1+ with UV glass so your worries over display are just ignorance

[@PouyaAziz]

The uv glass for me would start pealing off when the display would heat up

[@AlejandroHernandez-kl3jj]

I bought it for all the things you said that were false lol I don't want it anymore
