Fr i did this before i watched this video and i already had everything enabled

[@Torn_TheDeveloper]

the phone stayed at 100% for the entire video

[@tsugikuniyoriichi22]

4 hours of usage and my phone is barely at 92 ....this phone is insane and charged in 26 minutes??? Bye bye Samsung

[@kuncheeyong2884]

​@@tsugikuniyoriichi22 Really? What app U use during that 4 hour ?

[@varsharitasha]

I constantly used the camera, Instagram and Snapchat and my battery still lasted 2 days

[@pwally2714]

And the crazy thing is, I don't even charge my phone at night. I slap it on the charger in the bathroom. Went from 64% to 100% in 10 min haha

[@MichaelAlford-pf6om]

​@@tsugikuniyoriichi22interesting, I've definitely been thinking about making the move over to OnePlus. I've had 1 phone buy OnePlus and it was a little outdated but it was a pretty dope phone for being out dated. Now I have the s24 ultra it's meh. I love curved displays, the one plus 12 seems like an absolute beast! Just hesitant due to software, not really familiar with the OS, also I'm totally invested in Samsung's ecosystem.

[@hdtravel1]

I love my OnePlus 12 - so many features - great performance - extremely fast charging - excellent customization

[@DrinkingMidget]

Is there a ton of advertisements through out the phone??? I had a Red magic phone last year and KZbin and google had a lot more ads then my current Samsung phone. IM looking at getting a OnePlus 12 but after my last Chinese phone I'm hesitant in buying a new Chinese phone.

[@tiger1995grvr]

​Till now 0 ads bro as of now got it last week no bloatware it's beautiful ​@@DrinkingMidget

[@maarten2062]

​@@DrinkingMidget i have not seen any ads prompted by the device itself myself.

[@DrinkingMidget]

Cool The phone looks great that was my biggest worry about buy a Chinese phone. I have tried them in the past and had ads every ware. @@maarten2062

[@derekbenoit10]

I want it so bad. Just trying to wait for it to come down a little bit on price hopefully real soon.

[@CoreDreamStudios]

I just bought the OnePlus Nord N30 and I'm happy with it and most of these work as well. Cheers.

[@Amygdallama]

Is that better than the one plus 12?

[@meowmixes98]

This is VERY helpful for new users. Personally, I change the power button function to turn off like every other normal phone. I also use swiping three fingers to screencapture almost daily.

[@jenniferperez2315]

How do you turn off the phone? I just got it and haven't activated it yet

[@vivekkekuda]

@@jenniferperez2315volume up + power button

[@spreadingsmiles123]

By tapping 2 times

[@jamesw657]

Just bought this phone and I'm in love 🥰 Came from an aging Galaxy S10 that was still running Android 12 lol. The OnePlus 12 is the banger phone of the year imo. The price for the specs and quality user experience just can't be matched by ANYONE else. The HAPTICS, oh man, the haptics are such an underrated feature that nobody talks about. They feel sooo crisp! There are sooo many ways to customize things to your liking, I like it a lot better than the Samsung UI I'm coming from so far.

[@L3MON_Haze]

Got mine about 3 months now. Simply best phone of 2024.

[@Shifa379]

The sleek design, powerful performance, and cutting-edge features make it an absolute must-have for any tech enthusiast. The improved camera system and lightning-fast charging are game-changers for me. Owning this phone would be a dream come true!

[@kmrjt1]

I really love my Oneplus 12. It's fast, UI is smooth as silk, its Trinity engine is the best in the industry for smoothness, absolutely no bloatware, works like a beast with all the multitasking I do on it, great display with good visibility outdoors, excellent RAM management, superb battery backup that lasts all day and has never let me down. Strongbox engine 3.0 keeps my confidential data secure and gives me peace of mind. Camera is decent too, works for my purpose. I own the Galaxy S23 ultra as well but use OP 12 as my primary phone as I absolutely love it!

[@yessrodd]

hey, I haven't watched your videos in years. glad your still consistent

[@SWatchik]

Just got mine, great video. The phone is absolutely mega.

[@Дмитрий-р1ь5х]

tell me please, does OnePlus 12 have light indicator for missed calls, messages, charging etc. And if so, are they different colors for different events or only one ?

[@cybion_yt]

​@@Дмитрий-р1ь5х yes light indicator available

[@alterego7388]

Most of this tricks are there for ages if you own OnePlus phone

[@canberksarigol6040]

I wonder if this is important. Can you do the previous, next gestures to stop the song with the screen off while listening to music?

[@Broski__]

Yes, you can. Next track, previous track and pause.

[@Seburo20]

Very helpful video, Thanks mate

[@bluecrab822]

Battery 100% all the way lol

[@Plankton422]

And when it hits 20% after like 12h screen on time you can charge it to 100% in under 20minutes 😂. It's insane

[@debonair6183]

does it have battery protect / charge limit features?

[@AzRon999]

Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health -> Charging Limit

[@stevencorbo1220]

If you're on a 2-day business trip and you forget your charger you can shut the phone off at 10:00 at night and wake up at 6:00 a.m. just before your 6:30 a.m. alarm

[@VoyaPilot]

When I post stories in insta it seems that the brightness is bad compared to the original picture. Any idea why ?

[@donniethesportsguy893]

I was specifically looking for option for swiping down from top (once) to enter toggles instead of swiping down twice. Like I could have from my galaxy.

[@TheCajunAsian]

Dang all that and u didnt mention or show the missing back button and how to do it, or home button, or how to customize drawer and # of homescreens

[@jamescarter5082]

I'm just switching form a oneplus 6 to a 12 and this is insane, and I still love oneplus

[@tabris95]

You'd think a regular screenshot would be 3 fingers touch and hold, since its just a screenshot of the current image on screen, and the Scrolling Screenshot would be the 3 fingers swipe down since you are doing a scrolling movement 🤔

[@elibaerg7436]

It's probably just to stay consistent since the 3 finger swipe took a screenshot before a swiping screenshot was a thing

[@MRJLS15]

Heck yes love learning new things

[@GrigRP]

Which do you prefer, oxygen OS or one UI? Which is more customisable etc?

[@Plankton422]

I would say you have "better" customisation on oneUI because of Samsung Goodlock (AI generator). But personally I prefer OxygenOS. It's clean, has many nice gimmicks and can do like everything but the AI stuff (for now, OnePlus already announced there will be an air update in near future)

[@ptbauro]

Personally prefer One UI simply because you can do SO MUCH MORE. But Oxygen OS is very light and it gets the job done. Its a no nonsense OS that's snappy.

[@mohamedabdulghany6297]

great review, dose it has Proximity Sensor for calling ?

[@spreadingsmiles123]

Yes

[@IsolatedGemini]

This is the only one plus device I will recommend the one plus 11 came close but with the galaxy s23 ultra being out it just wasn't it but now with the s24 ultra being the exact same phone as the 23 with updated chip set this phone for a portion of the price is the way to go. The battery lasts forever and the innovative features as well as the customization is amazing with the one plus 12 highly recommend it over any other android phone for sure

[@ricardoOT3]

Very helpful, thank you so much. You just convinced me to spend one thousand Euro 😅

[@surfcitygenecarrothersabec7634]

WoW Great video!! Thanks What is the best way to Hear or See when a text comes in!! I wish my sounds would be like a phone call and continue until I answer the text... It's my one and biggest complaint for my new OP12!!! Thanks

[@torres3008]

I had this phone for about 2 months. 12/10. Amazing phone, if Android is your preference OnePlus is amazing and i only ever had Galaxy and iPhone.

[@mohangovindarajan]

Does OnePlus12 have factory applies /stuck screen scratch protector

[@praveen-24]

Yes

[@skyecloud968]

does the color on the clock in the home screen remine red all the time or no? If it does remine red how do I have it like that?

[@designobservatory]

they offer many things except what people need most: repeating notification light. So that edge light does not come up just once for a few seconds which is too often overlooked, but would come up again every 10, 15 seconds or so. There are so many complaints about this for over 4 years already and OnePlus is completely ignorant.

[@artdogg50]

So many opt which is great to see.

[@josefernandez2722]

Thank you for these tips. Would you know why the home page only allows half of the page to get filled with apps, unlike the rest of the pages? With my one plus7T, I could position apps wherever I wanted. Also, how can I change the image of the screen lock? Not the regular background wallpaper

[@fireofficer001]

Can't find special features ? does the phone have note app with scanning?

[@TheRajeshphadke]

I have already bitten the bullet & ordered OP 12 device. I am really worried about missing One hand Operation + feature from OneUI. Do you know anything similar in OxygenOS? Planning to use edge gestures to emulate that feature but Two items which I feel are difficult to replicate will be Quick Tools & pop-up widget used through One hand Operation +

[@BLITZENRENO]

I love my OP 12 but I have a question that I haven't gotten an answer for. I noticed that the red cables with this phone and the wireless charger appear to be thicker. I have several older of the red cables from my other OP phone, and I was wondering if they can be used to charge the phone without doing damage? Thanks in advance for any answers, I appreciate it.

[@mpa324]

The power wire inside the cable is most likely thicker to handle the amount of amps it puts out. I'm not sure if regular USB can handle that, unless the charger or phone can tell the gauge of the cable connected to so it can limit the power.

[@gn0stica536]

It won't damage your phone.

[@bladezz2585]

I got this phone just yesterday and display colors look washed compared to my 6yr old OP6. Have already set phone to Vivid from Display settings, turned off eye comfort/nature tone settings and it still looks washed. Any idea about this?

Schedule power of and on is perfect when the power bottom is broken or not working like my OnePlus 11😂 my power bottom is stocked it won't work

[@LinParkteacherakis13]

do you have any overheating issues? after video calls and simple scrolling. thank you

[@joshuawilcox1322]

Nope! These phones stay insanely cool, even when fast charging. Lots of plus's with this phone.

[@varsharitasha]

Absolutely nothing... The phone has a tech that helps heat escape from the phone not just from the back but the front too so it never really ever gets hot

[@ptbauro]

None. It has a vapor chamber to dissipate excess heat and it works well. FYI, I am from India and the daily temperature is like 37 degrees celsius. But phone remains cool.

[@magnawaves]

Not overheating, but mine definitely gets pretty warm when it's charging.

[@Mhavid26]

[@MrPvyasaswy]

Thank you , helpful

[@airbnbphotography]

great IOS and phone, I got rid of my Samsung Ultra 21 just after I year because its missing the logic and customization. One thing I can't find, where do I adjust the time when the screen locks. I don't like the screen always locking, I would love to set it to 20 minutes. Samsung was also limited max time was 10 min

[@ItsJessieKate]

Awesome. Thanks!

[@mehtarm]

With my otg toggle off my pendrive attached to an otg still worked and that option greyed out , so in short otg feature toggle on or off doesn't matter , what is point of it

[@arpanmallick4294]

Press power button and volume up button simultaneously and you will get the option to turn it off. Or else in settings you can type power and it will take you to a section where you can customise the function of power key. By default it is set to google assistant, select the other option to get power menu by pressing the power button

[@shubhamsarkhel4661]

In my Oneplus 12 Special Features Option is not showing.What to do..?

[@cybion_yt]

For me also not showing brother

[@HeroofPearl]

Thank you for deep diving into the features of this OS! This is the most helpful video on the OP12 I've seen. The aesthetic and simplicity of the Android UX combined with the utility and customization of OxygenOS are what have kept me holding onto my 7 Pro, and you're the first creator I've seen to confirm the OP12 kept the features that make Oxygen stand out from the rest. This phone is sick.

[@0spooky]

Is anyone else getting the option of the OnePlus Launcher or the System Launcher?

[@Princeton_James]

The only thing that drives me nuts about this phone is that side bar apps open in a floating window and not full screen. I hate that. Also, Android Auto requires you to go into developer settings to make it work.

[@Anessu]

That's how the side bars in most phones works.

[@GS-mh6ub]

Beautiful piece of machinery.

Not sure, but I have 5 Icons on my Oneplus 11.

[@SuperiorCookie]

I'm all the way back at the OnePlus 8t and have an option as high as 5x6 layout, so I don't think they would have changed that and maybe even increased it

​@@hackman2829how to do tell me the options

[@saltyalters]

The curved screen is exclusively what is keeping me from buying this.

[@jwkjr321]

While it is a great phone One+ in my opinion made 3 major misguided "improvements" 1. as you said the curved screen is lame and dated. Makes the phone impossible to hold without the bumper case (which should be included with the phone). 2. moving the volume button to the right side. WHY? now hit power button when trying to volume down. STUPID! and 3. UNLESS I AM MISSING SOMETHING - WHAT IN THE HELL DID THEY TAKE AWAY NOTIFICATION LIGHTS WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF FOR? THIS IS A KEY FEATURE FOR ANY DAMN PHOINE. THIS SIMPLE LITTLE FEATURE IS SUPER IMPORTANT! i MEAN WHAT THE HELL? SO IF I LEAVE MY DESK AND COME BACK - I NOW HAVE TO PICK UP MY PHONE TURN IT ON AND CHECK TO SEE IF I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING NO LITTLE BLINKING LIGHT? THIS WAS ALMOST A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME I WAS SERIOUSLY CONCIDEREING RETURNING IT - TOTALLY F'ED UP ON THIS ONE+....

[@Дмитрий-р1ь5х]

100% true, however I heard you can use a side app for creating this light from pixels of your screen, like around the front camera whole. not sure if it works fine though. Double tap for turn on/off screen is another crucial feature for me and luckily it's there.
