This guy is the most genuine tech reviewer that i have seen. I have been following this guy since 2015. Back then i brought moto g3 watching his review. Later on he started doing in depth review which helped me a lot in avoiding confusion while purchasing. He talks about practical aspects like cellular call quality and mice quality which is the most essential part which most of the tech reviewers never mentions.

[@Parthainvincibledey_95]

Seeing this on my OP 12 silky black 12+256. Best OnePlus you can get guys... True flagship killer at flagship experience with minimum compromises. But... IP 67 instead wireless charging, atleast should've been added. 5 years OS update instead of 4 years should've been there. I migrated from my POCO F4 which has some good features, which I'm missing it on OxgenOS. Apart from these my OP 12 is rocking❤

​​​​​ if you're shifting from an old device which is maybe 3 or 4 yrs old then you'll feel the weight but after using a week you'll stop feeling that way because your hands will adjust with the 8-10% increase in weight but the extra battery backup will come in handy for the longest of time... I had an OnePlus 7T since 2020 and the only thing I was worried about was it's puny 3800 mAh battery pack during the purchase and rightly so because after 4yrs of constant use and pushing it to the limits it was at a point where I had to charge it 3 to 4 times a day, trust me when I say it's good to have a bigger battery than 20-30 gms lighter device if you plan to use your mobile phone for longer duration.

[@stevensons3966]

True

[@shirdisanthosh]

I had OnePlus 9 Pro before buying the 12. The 9 Pro was supporting only 18W PD charging speed, so that way it's better PD charging speed on this one.

[@iamacharya]

​@@shirdisanthoshhey Santosh, I own an OnePlus 9Pro too, how better of an upgrade would you think the OP 12 would be compared to OP9pro? Is it really worth upgrading?

[@shirdisanthosh]

@@iamacharya From my view it really is good upgrade from 9 Pro. My 9 Pro used to get hot very quickly and that too with very little use. The 12 doesn't heat up at all whatsoever even in the direct sun and also allows me to take longer videos with it in 4K quality. Cameras are an upgrade, display is a big upgrade and can use it in bright sunlight very easily, and battery is a huge upgrade and it goes on for a full day use with ease.

Using one plus 12 for almost 1 month and i agree with your review... The battery life is just amazing, day before yesterday i used gps navigation for 8-9 hours while driving and still at 10 pm i had 42% left,i was shocked😅, but the screen is too reflective and at auto mode it doesnot get bright enough, i think the calibration is not done well, software update might fix it... And the cameras are pretty good, the xdr photos are pleasant to watch in the phone native gallery app, as its a new thing to me, it looks damn real...

[@santoshphatak7967]

Great review ... I also agree that they should have gone with a flat-screen. The curved screens are very tricky to get right in terms of clear viewing experience and it is almost impossible to get a good screen protector for them. Some might argue that it has gorilla glass Victus II , but as the saying goes " GLASS IS GLASS AND GLASS CAN BREAK "

[@Hari-kx2er]

You can get used to the curved screen very easily. I have been using curved screen smartphones for about 5 years now and faced no issues due to curved screen. People over exaggerate curved screen issues. Just get a good case and you will secure your screen for long with no screen protector whatsoever.

[@ultraviolettp3446]

I have had my 12 for 2 months and just love it. I prefer the curved glass to the tablet looking blobs out there. Never noticed this being top heavy. Battery life is amazing. You will be hard pressed to find a phone at this price point with this level of execution. Great phone for most users. Not having e-sim is a good point for me. The curved screen issue totally disappears when you put it in a case like most people do. Never had issues with accidental side touches and this is my third OP phone with such a screen. Overall fair review.

Hello Ranjit sir, I have a s20 plus phone which is now 3.5 years old, am planning to upgrade in a couple of months. Xiaomi 14 Pro and Op12 are in my mind. But I'm skeptical about choosing bcuz of the AI capabilities of S24(Translate and CircletoSearch) . Will xiaomi and op bring that kinda features in sw updates? or should I buy S24( I already hate the charging speeds and exynos of samsung) or should I wait for another 8 months and buy Op Open2. I really need your advice since I'll use it for 3 years at least.

@@smit.shahYT This should not be the case. Kindly check what apps are excluded from battery management. Also in my experience, if you give location permission to Facebook it chugs battery like there is no tomorrow. Also, is your device getting hot? That will indicate some rogue process running unchecked.

​@@SayanSarkarakadragonI don't have facebook or Instagram or any of those battery draining apps. Device isn't getting hot, only thing I can think of is calls, and dual sim.
