OnePlus 12 Unboxing: If only they weren't shady.

[@ÆßV]

*For the price, it's a great phone indeed.* Well, it's true that privacy policies of Chinese oems are doubted and even the Indian govt has asked it's top officers and army men to not use these chinese phones. But in reality, Google, Apple, Samsung too are using your data. And they too comply with the US govt. Obviously the US want's to maintain the monopoly and Taiwan, S.Korea are it's vassal states so they don't mind Samsung or Soc, semiconductor etc manufacturing plants. But they've successfully created a narrative that Chinese oems don't respect your privacy, the firewall stuff etc. But we know who has the actual control of your data, social media... it's the USA. Some day in the future when India will start manufacturing, we will be targeted too by the west. Nonetheless, we are not in good terms with China and buying Chinese stuff does boost their economy which India and USA both don't want currently. USA has played well by having Pak, India and China at each other, lol. But for common users like us, buy what provides you value as privacy is a myth anyways. OP12 does offer a lot more than S24, Iphone 15 etc in some regards. Camera's is where I think the later two pull a bit ahead. Cheers 🥂

Iqoo 12 offers the same some areas are better than the OnePlus 12 and vice versa But for a much cheaper price

[@smol6193]

@@james_isaac No it doesnt. One plus offers so much more than iqoo 12. No doubt Iqoo 12 is better in some department like heavy gaming and Camera performance in some scenarios, but it still falls short of being a true flagship experience.

[@james_isaac]

@@smol6193 better in performance and slightly superior camera (due to vivo's software) Similar software experience these are the key factors buying a phone I'm not bothered about wireless charging or marginally better haptics in hand feel and some other small bits.. Not paying 13k for the OnePlus brand

[@smol6193]

@@james_isaac Better in benchmarks means nothing in day to day usage. People dont even feel that difference. Maybe its not personally more valuable to you but in general people will prefer wireless charging, better battery, better ip rating, better and longer software support, faster file transfer, better resale value etc over a few extra frames when playing games. Not to forget a better display as well. Both are on 8gen 3, its not even noticeable the performance difference lol.

[@james_isaac]

@@smol6193 Love now you want longer support in software but are ready to use wireless charging 😆! Give me a break.. All the others are nice to have a brighter display,Ip rating,faster file transfer blah blah Other than resell values which is pointless if you plan on using it for long term Iqoo 12 makes more sense

[@theabdulmatheen]

Which phone do you recommend iqoo 12 or oneplus 12 I do light to medium gaming and watch videos etc

[@_arorarohit_]

both will be great for that. The software is better on OnePlus in my opinion.

[@AjinkyaGedam-n5o]

Hey rohit, u have mentioned in ur pixel 8 video that u get some call dropped so is it because of the network operator or cuz of the pixel device and if is it because of the device then can it be cured with software update??

No, it is hardware issue.

​@@mohamedfaizal8164Do not deceive the man. I advise you that the OnePlus 12 has the best camera that is superior to all phones. OnePlus is better than the Galaxy S24U The iPhone 15 Pro Max has better and larger camera sensors, and you have color correction from the well-known company Hasbald. Don’t be fooled by what the Indians say.

[@North-wy7yc]

I'm planning for an upgrade from iphone 13 and probably don't look anywhere other than Samsung or pixel if user experience is important to you. The OnePlus comes with colour os which is in opposite, realme phones. Lacks that premium feel and if you go from iOS to that shit, you'll for sure puke looking at it.

That's a really strong statement bro

[@_arorarohit_]

@@rahulkekan You asked my pick. I like compact phone, I prefer OneUI, it is proper flagship phone with ip rating and ultrasonic fingerprint. Camera is more consistent and video quality is incomparable. Flat screen, better ecosystem and dex are plus points. OnePlus will win on display size and battery. But the weight balance is an issue for me so S23.

[@rahulkekan]

I just bought the S23 after watching your videos. Loving it but the two things that are bothering me are battery anxiety and smaller screen size.

@@rahulkekan Well that is given with a smaller phone. Use it on light mode for extra battery and it will get better within a week. Try to keep the battery between 25-100% for longer life.

[@adityaupalkar007]

I think you are being too critical on this phone. Like it offers everything that attracts non-techy people because it comes with free amazing accessories in the box. I think the only con I can think of in this phone is software experience because it is not polished as Google, Samsung, iPhone and Nothing. (And ofcourse some aspects of camera) But other then that the permission thing is present in all phones while you setup. And if you think about it, then it's great that each app asks for permission so that you can enable/disable some apps (unlike other manufacturer which take default permissions without asking you).

[@_arorarohit_]

No these apps ask permission because they are going send data to third parties. Even for apps like which shouldn’t even need to send data anywhere and it should be processed locally.

[@TheNaveenshukla]

Im considering getting it waiting for your review, also if possible please compare with iPhone 15 or s24

[@CoolDexterX]

You earned a subscriber because most of your thoughts are similar to mine e.g. having a PD charger instead of a USB A to C (most of people doesn’t even understand how bothersome it is to carry different power bricks while you can use a single PD brick to charge your every single device), Oneplus being shady and degrading the performance of their device over years through OTA updates (personal experience), asking to agree to more EULAs for the applications you can’t bloody get rid of, optical fingerprint sensor is another issue with these ultra bright displays: now the displays are so bright that using an optical fingerprint sensor at night would give you nightmares.
