The sub-$1000 phone to beat! - OnePlus 12 30 day review

[@thrdeye]

The battery life and fast charging on this phone is unbeatable (for the U.S. market). I traded in my s23 ultra and haven't looked back.

[@katinasoutherland7693]

I love the cameras & color science on 1+ I get so tired of the Same BS line about the cameras not being good when in my opinion they totally Kill Samsungs.

[@kendrelewis5465]

​@@katinasoutherland7693It's from reviewers that don't actually use OnePlus phones. I know my OnePlus Open can beat the iPhone 15 Pro Max, s24u and the pixel 8 Pro

[@bxrider117]

I'm on my 3rd or 4th day with the OP12. I've always had a Samsung. My favorite was the S21 Ultra and this phone gives those choices with newer specs.

[@bxrider117]

This phone has been great. Although there are a few minor things that I love to see worked out with some updates. To me this is slightly better than s23 ultra.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

The big brand really need to start adopting fast charging. The tech is here and they refuse to use it

[@davey820051]

I've had my OP 12 for a couple of weeks and really like it. The curved screen isn't an issue for me-while not a plus, it hasn't cause any problems either. I use a case, as I expect most people do, and have had zero accidental touches. I'm glad the phone came with a screen protector pre-applied; if I'd had to put one on myself, I might not be neutral about the curved screen. I found the comment about the flat color profile surprising. The colors just look natural to me-neither muted nor over-saturated.

[@Tomazack]

I compared the colours side by side with my oneplus 9, and even if the 9 is still a great phone, the 12 has it easily beat. I changed the colour profile to see how deep the colours could get, and I am greatly satisfied to say the least, no complaints what so ever. I tried watching a 4K HDR test on the phone and I was blown away, it looks so beautiful!

[@freud1025]

Got the 512GB variant for $630 trading in my 4 year old OP7. Best deal ever lmao this phone is crazy powerful and is almost on par with $1000 phones.

[@GEORGHEVICH]

Their best phone was 7t pro imo

[@ratkomarkovic8330]

How is your overall experience compering with OP7? I'm owner of OP7 pro btw and planning to upgrade to 12

[@freud1025]

​@@ratkomarkovic8330 Objectively speaking the jump from OP7 to 12 is too big so ofc my mind is blown. OP7 pro was another gem of its era but still 12 is much better. Almost everything in 12 is on par with other flagships like Galaxy S24 or iphone 15 pro. The display is a beast, bright and UI responsive like stock android on pixel with lots of improvements with oxygenOS. The camera setup is great, battery is gr8. The phone is giving flagship value at 60% of the price so don't think you can go wrong buying it.

[@IamJay02]

Holy shit bro enjoy that lmao that's a Hella good deal

[@vikramadityareddy1554]

Hey..how did you get it for 630?..could u give detail breakdown

OnePlus has been on the rise since the 11. With a few more improvements, added features and fine tunings, the OnePlus 13 could crush everything in 2025.

[@KennyO303]

I've been using OnePlus phones for a little over 7 years. While the fingerprint scanner on the 6T was a bit slow, I found that the fingerprint scanner on the 11 and 12 works very well. On my old 6T, if the fingerprint scanner seems slow, I would just rescan my fingerprints. But in the year that I had my OnePlus 11, that was never an issue. And now it's even better with the 12. I work with my hands, and at times I'll have calluses or skin abrasions. So I'm used to having to rescan if need be

[@dylon4906]

the 12 is accurate, but not fast. my old s21's fingerprint reader is faster than my 12

[@samarthmahajan4207]

Did you face any issues in 6T? as I am planning to upgrade from 6T to 12, is it worthy upgrade?

​​@@samarthmahajan4207 hey dude, I do also have a 6T I bought 5 years ago in 2019 and will go for the 12. I have absolutely 0 doubts that you'd enjoy the change. 6 generations apart. Seriously, would be impossible not to enjoy the upgrade

[@yossef1799]

I don't get it....people keep saying that OnePlus 12 doesn't reach the level of Galaxy S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro... To tell the truth, I myself did a camera test and in many cases the One Plus was better...One Plus 12 does reach the level of flagship smartphones!!! One thing to note... in case of video... best on iPhone.

[@KgzStylez]

😂I think software is the only problem

[@yossef1799]

I admit that it is not the best software out there.. but not significant

[@adamrush8360]

I also think that you're dealing with many reviewers who hold strong bias or are paid to say certain things. They'll never give other phones do credit when big Sammy or Daddy Apple has them in their pocket. However, that being said, OnePlus does still have some work to do on their software. My biggest gripe is that I can't track through a song on the lock screen. That's retarded.

[@yossef1799]

You are absolutely right... at the end of the day everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages and when I look at advantages versus disadvantages I would definitely prefer OnePlus over other companies@@adamrush8360

[@ben_linux6474]

Absolutely agree. I bought and compared the op12 and the s24u and most of the time, oneplus came better. Insane when you think about how bad they always were in this department. I sold my s24u.

[@NathanMichalik]

I switched to it from an Xperia 1 iii. The battery life is insane. I used to struggle to get one day, now I can almost get 3. For my use case, there are some MASSIVE flaws though... first being the lack of google assistant call screening. It was a feature I used constantly and now it's gone. Second, the speakers on this phone sound horrible compared to my old Xperia. Maybe that's saying more about the Xperia.. but it's a huge let down. The min vol is also too loud on the 1+12. My final issue is the curved display. It just looks and feels worse than a flat display. I don't really understand why they insist on it.

[@dr.fitprofessor1970]

I've been using the OnePlus 12 for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it. Truthfully, I feel like they got everything in the design correct the first time. Personally, I love the curved glass. It is far more ergonomic and easier to hold than a flat slab Flintstone phone. Furthermore, curved glass has a far more premium look. Simply put, there's nothing long in the tooth about the design. It's ergonomic and it makes sense. I would also like to add how much I love the look of the camera module. It's different and it sets them apart from other manufacturers. It's impossible to gain brand recognition when your device blends in and looks like every other device. Again, the design language makes total sense.

[@katinasoutherland7693]

Thank you for writing this you literally TOOK the WORDS out of my mouth. I’d like to add these reviewers need to come up with something better to talk about when it comes to the cameras the color science is simply amazing on OnePlus gone are the days of having BAD cameras.

[@dr.fitprofessor1970]

@@katinasoutherland7693 indeed, you're quite correct. Their cameras have been a non-issue for quite a while. I've watched many of this reviewers videos over the years and he always puts extra scrutiny on OnePlus devices. I've already purchased a Tudia Merge Grip case for my 12 and I have a original sandstone bumper case on the way. When the aramid fiber case comes back in stock I will be purchasing that as well.

That phone fell out of my pocket at an intersection and was run over reapetdly but the screen never cracked. that phone was never IP rated either. The glaring thing with me is the battery, it is true that battery life is anxiety With my 5 year old phone it bacame an issue via debris and i actually pressure washed it but the fact is that batteries die over time and a detractoras well. my phone still works and only dealing with corrosion besides that it is still an extremeley fast phone 5 years later without that fast charging at times ALL I want is a fast charging phone

[@marksharp]

I really like this phone and am very tempted to get this. I want away from IPhone and was thinking the Pixel 8 Pro, S24 plus or a z Fold. I think the one plus 12 is more value for money. As for the AI stuff, you can just use Google photos for editing etc, it’s what I use on my iPhone 13 Pro. I’m not arsed about the circle to search stuff or asking AI to write me an email! Maybe it’s because I’m nearly 50 so not clued up with that. A good video and gives me more to think about.

I've moved from S23 ultra to Todd phone and I have to say that the OnePlus 12 is an amazing device. It's so much more affordable than any newer Samsung or Apple.

[@SimonFXpert]

Go with Oneplus. Oneui (samsung) is honestly extremely bad & not optimized. Pixel 8 Pro is close to be "good" but really isn't yet. The camera software on the pixel is laggy & simply not smooth. Overall software experience on Pixel is pretty good overall but battery life is bad. Oneplus is fast, effecient, smooth camera app (smoother than S24 Ultra & P8P) & pretty impressive software now. Honestly the AI features is a gimmick. Not worth it i would just go with the Oneplus

3:13 EVERYONE! In North America OnePlus is also selling a 100W charger. You can buy this separately and use it to charger OnePlus 11 or OnePlus 12. It is only 'slightly' faster tho. Here are the speeds from my tests... 80W w/Smart Rapid Charging ON: 1-27% in 5min ... 46% in 10min ... 65% in 15min ... 81% in 20min ... 94% in 25min ... 100% in 27min 100W w/Smart Rapid Charging ON: 1-30% in 5min ... 50% in 10min ... 70% in 15min ... 88% in 20min ... 95% in 23min ... 100% in 24min The 100W charger has the advantage of being able to fast charge non-OnePlus devices up to 65W.

to be honest. i have both Oneplus 12 and Samsung S24 Ultra with me, i use both daily for last 2 weeks. I personally like the Oneplus 12 more, because it is better battery, same speed as S24 Ultra on gaming, alot faster charging. Oneplus 12 is really more affordable, I only paid $569.99 with all the student discount, promotion code and $100 trade in any phone in Oneplus website. I think for $569.99 is the best price for the best phone of the year , and sure it is a flagship killer. Oneplus 12 is a better phone than Samsung S24 Ultra. this is all my own personal usage experience.

[@dr.fitprofessor1970]

It offers 4 years of os support with 5 years of security patches. On average most people keep a smartphone for about 3 years. The 7 years that Samsung and Google are offering is mainly a marketing ploy. Besides, if you want to keep using the 12 then all you have to do is open the bootloader. It will allow you to install a custom rom.

Great review! Since OP7P, which i used 3 years until all cameras sadly stopped working---this will be the first OnePlus release (besides a quick CE 3 Lite pitstop) which has me jump ship. On paper it seems solid, and all the negatives can be overlooked. My only grip with the design is camera and waterfall screen. You miss out on screen real estate, and swiping gestures can be awkward with a case on. It was with OP7Pro anyhow. Besides that, looking forward to having a flagship to play emulation on.

Even the xperia 1IV connected right away. Thats just a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the worked out that issue on this model.

[@lescarpio]

Only downsides I see are the curved glass (if they cant figure out the ghost touches), optic fingerprint sensor, and the fewer OS updates. Besides that, i see a winner for the price.

[@Eihei]

Eh, I wouldn't necessarily call photos from OP12 "oversharpened", especially if we compare those to Samsung which is the main offender here. Also the fast and reliable shutter does a lot of the difference. By the way the lack of bullshit ai "features" for which I would have to pay in the future is actually a plus for me, especially since most probably most of those will be embedded in future android versions anyway.

Where can i get that wallpaper?

[@MrChadLedford]

Pixel line until they ditch the curves screens for me personally. It is well documented that curved screens are more prone to damage to damage.

[@redstickham6394]

What I've been seeing on this phone I like. I've always had Samsung and want to move away from them when my S21 needs to be replaced. This phone looks powerful and the price definitely beats Samsung. I've never bought a phone from anywhere other than a carrier store but I'm sure I can figure out how to activate it on Verizon without much trouble.

[@ronskiuk]

Anyone know of any UK shops that have this on display, really tempted by this but want to see how it feels one handed

[@AdamLassiter-k7j]

I wish the 3 major carriers carried it, because it'd be free. I'd much rather have this phone than the S24. I'm tired of Samsung and Apple.

[@jo_qYT]

The OnePlus 12 is very good but I’m surprised the OnePlus 12R does a lot of what this phone does at a much cheaper price. Most people would be happier with the impressive 12R at the cheaper price

[@J.Wick.]

No arguing that honestly. The 12R almost got me to switch from the 12 when I was buying it. I hadn't done enough home work on the R though at that point, and didn't wanna lose out on the free wireless charger with my 12. The R is more phone than probably 75% of people need, and $3-499. OnePlus got me back with the 12. I was there from day One withe the One, 3T, and 5T. Then OneUI poached me away for a bit.

[@adamrush8360]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh I'm in the same boat. I went with the 12 but I'm already kinda starting to wish I went with the 12r. 😂 Like this is a great phone and it's got all the bells and whistles but the 12r is the better buy.

[@J.Wick.]

@@adamrush8360 better buy is arguable depending on what you need. I don't regret anything about the 12. It's amazing. It's the best non "Ultra" phone there is right now IMO. There's no topping the Ultra honestly, no topping it's price either however. If they (OP) could offer a software backed, integrated stylus, and a desktop mode like Dex...at an approachable price, even on a foldable, I'd have no need for future Samsungs.

The best and most complete OnePlus and handset out there that ever made from every aspect in my opinion and especially compared to the competition price.

[@DominicClifton]

I sent my OnePlus 12 back for a refund, the clock on the lock screen and the notification shade is unusable because OnePlus made a stupid decision to make the hour digits deep red when they are '1'. Everyone is complaining about it, I went though the OnePlus support channels and this was the reply I received: `I would like to kindly inform you that the red number 1 is a tribute to our brand, it's part of OnePlus logo. It always been red for number one in OnePlus clocks. Therefore, you can rest assured the clock is not broken. This is a default feature and it cannot be changed.` My current phone is a OnePlus 3T, and it does not have an unreadable red clock. Why no-one mentions this in reviews is beyond me as being able to quickly tell the time is basic functionality. Community posted workarounds do not work. I'm not rooting my phone and breaking my banking apps and google pay to try and fix it myself.

[@osoifamf]

lol its android… install another clock ,.. the phones amazing

[@jordanlucas9762]

[@syn010110]

curved edges and the comically enormous camera bump are putting me off the op12. why do all the chinese OEMs make their phones have absurd camera clusters? they could have easily just put small metal rings around the lenses like samsung does.

[@narendrairengbam112]

And what is that green color bottle shaped thing you got there. Thats interesting.what is that? And you're right with the display colors, in the effort of making everything like camera images, display colors true to life, they have over done it by really removing the colors. Trying really hard to give an experience of true tone and unsaturated looks. They need to slow down with it.

One plus will never be a true flagship killer until they are in carriers in the USA most people buy on payment plans in usa they don't have $1000 to drop on a phone.

[@friedpickle9828]

I mean, $1,000 isn't exactly a lot these days. Put it on a credit card. I do agree with you however, the carrier stores provide exposure for brands which is an issue for OnePlus.

[@AluCloud]

I want to love my oneplus 12 but I do not get the same battery life as mentioned by several reviewers. And I don't even have the screen on for majority of the time since I'm at work. My midrange a34 after I'm all done with work has at least 50% left When I was using my op12, I would have 37% Both start from 6am to 5pm. Do I have a dud battery?

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

If you are using KZbin Revanced that's why, use Revanced Extended instead

[@joezmoma19285]

did you transfer your old phone apps and settings to the new phone by using clone phone? If thats the case you need to factory reset and manually add the older apps in your phone. The reason is that when you use clone phone you port your settings and tweaks to the new phone and itll be inefficient as whatever bad settings you have in your older phone will get adopted in the new phone.

[@adamrush8360]

It could be a bad battery but at the same time, I'd review the battery settings on the phone. OnePlus has a menu that shows you suggestions on how to get better battery life. Go through those and see if it helps but I do concur with the previous comment that if that doesn't resolve the issue, factory reset and try to manually add the apps back. If that still doesn't work, I do believe you have a defective unit.

[@AluCloud]

@joeeemama1906 thanks for the reply and no I didn't do any transfer. I did see online that perhaps I need to drain the battery to 0 and charge it all over again so the battery can calibrate.

[@AluCloud]

@adamrush8360 thanks. I'll do a factory reset after experimenting by draining the battery to 0 to I guess sort of calibrate it
