Super worth it in Canada, stacking student discounts + black Friday deals, the S24U was over 1400cad, OnePlus 12 was 770cad. I think you'd be hard pressed to justify almost double for the ultra

Idk what you're on about. I had the opportunity to get the S24U 512GB at launch for 449 CAD. Granted that included trading in a phone but I highly doubt OnePlus has these kinds of enhanced trade in deals.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Moto has actually been doing really well in the US. OnePlus is complicated as they're no longer on carrier channels with their flagships. Still, it only forces them to get creative about how to sell.

My OnePlus One was my all time favorite ohone before it died in a fire pit all too early in life. I was unimpressed with everything else for years, buying Samsung Phones for their cameras, Pixel phones for the same, and always being disappointed with SOMETHING - S10 being the only outlier, and S21 Ultra was close but had bugs and performance issues. Finally, wirh the OP12 they did enough in the camera department to make me consider coming back again and thank the Lord that I did. Easily my second favorite phone of all time after the OnePlus One and I can't believe it took them 10 years to put this type of package together again. Really happy with this thing!

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Glad you’re enjoying it. It is a really good phone indeed.

[@412Kamikaze]

I really enjoyed this revisit of the OnePlus 12, Jaime. I'm a OnePlus user myself. Could you please do a revisit of the OnePlus Open since I'm strongly considering buying it?

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Dude.. I actually scripted this video on my OnePlus Open Apex. A friend got me the Oppo Pen, and man… I don’t think I’m going back to anything else. I’d say wait for the successor but if you can find a good deal, I adore this phone. Even use it without a case.

[@412Kamikaze]

@@JaimeRiveraTech Based on the rumored specs I hear for the Open 2, that'll be the one I go for!! How's your Open been handling dust? And, do you go to the beach with it?

[@kioulidis]

I got the OP12 back in April and switching from the iPhone 14 Pro I have to say that I'm being left in awe every single day since my purchase and I'll explain. First of all, that 100w charging capability really changed the game for me as there'd be times that wouldI completely forget to plug my phone to the charger before going to bed and while with the iPhone I would be condemned to going to my University class with whatever percentage was left from last night, with the OP12 I was up to 80% from 20% in just 15 minutes! Second of all, once I started taking photos of scenery during my summer vacation, the common myth that the iPhone has the best camera setup out there was immediately busted for me... In video probably yes but in photography the OP12 is miles ahead, and believe me, if you are a sworn apple fan, you gotta give a chance to the other side cause the camera specs on Android phones these days are mindblowing! Lastly, a thing that isn't talked about a lot is the thermals of the phone, this beast can handle anything you throw at it, all while remaining surprisingly cool, as opposed to the iPhones I've owned, which I remember got disturbingly hot during the summer... Greetings from 🇬🇷, and congratulations for another great and qualitative video, keep up the good work 😁😄

Traded the ultra in on my current Pixel 9 pro XL, which i love, but the One + 12 is still missed and finally remembered as amazing. Better than the S24 Ultra, and not just because of price. I'm blessed to be in a place where 300-400 dollars means very little in terms of this one or that one. If the prices were switched, the One + would still be my pick. Great video fella.

My daughter just got hers last month and loves it. The 512GB version was less than a 128GB Pixel 9 in Canada plus she used and loved my old 2016 OnePlus 3 until it took a dive in the lake this past summer. I don't know if the 12 will last her 8 years like the 3 did, but it's a great phone. The only strike against it in my eyes is the curved glass display. I hate them and have vowed to never own another one after the Note 10+ and Pixel 7 Pro. I said I'd never get another Note/Ultra until Samsung eliminated the curved displays, and that's why I pre-ordered the S24U back when it was announced. (Plus a killer insane trade on my old Note 10+!)

But they fkd up with design...13 looks like a budget real me phone ...

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Oh totally. What makes the 12 compelling right now is getting all that for a lot less money

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Disagree

[@brianattyberry]

I fell in love with Oneplus' 7 Pro, and i purposely held out to see what the 12 would be, and the only thing i wanted them to change was the display to become flat, but i loved the emerald color. Then the next best thing happened with fucking Blue Leather! 13, here I come!!!

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Yup . That 13 in blue and nearly flat up front is the sweet spot

[@brianattyberry]

@@JaimeRiveraTech my side phone was/is the Pixel 6a and while I really enjoy this phone, I still use the 7Pro for its advantages like more storage, faster charging, better build, and better software. Whenever Pixel steps their game up with a better chip set, charging and maybe even a stronger A series, I might reconsider them again but until then, I'll Never Settle again.

[@jimmiegomile8059]

at 600 dollars its still extremely on the high side for anyone outside the US but its such a great phone

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

It’s $549 right now 👀

I’ve been a loyal OnePlus user since the OnePlus 3T and stuck with them all the way to the OnePlus 11 5G. Unfortunately, I regret buying the 11 5G, mainly because they removed the USB-to-HDMI capability, which was supported in older models like the OnePlus 9 and earlier. My experience with OnePlus was fantastic up until the OnePlus 8 Pro, but after that, the brand just didn’t appeal to me anymore. I decided to give the 11 5G a chance, hoping for some major improvements, but it turned out to be a disappointment. Now, I’ve switched to the RedMagic 9S Pro, and it’s been a game-changer for both gaming and productivity. It delivers everything I need without compromise-well, except for the front camera, which isn’t great. That said, since I’m not much of a media person, it doesn’t bother me much. Overall, it’s still a far more satisfying choice.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Hows the photography on that RedMagic?

[@EverlastingSpud]

just not enough for me. The polish and little things of the 24 Ultra make it tough to beat. I would pick it over a Pixel though. Currently rocking a Z Fold6 as a business guy and the inner screen has solidified itself as non-negotiable when it comes to reviewing and briefing sales data. As an excel fiend, I no longer can switch back to a normal slab

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Dude… it’s like saying your Toyota is nice but have you seen my Mercedes? Eh.. of course a Mercedes is better. That thing better do your laundry and iron your clothes for the extra money. It competes with other cars.. not Toyota. Does this make Toyota a bad car? No right 😉

[@EverlastingSpud]

@JaimeRiveraTech 😆 I do like your take on the One Plus and its definitely under loved, in my opinion. So much going for it. I guess I'm not the audience. Trust me though, I fought hard not to buy the One Plus Open.

[@TT0973]

I'm with Michael Fisher, it has to fold for me, But I love what Oneplus is doing. I hope they can get more of a North American push. I switched to the open and I don't foresee switching back. I actually get and maintain more bars (signal strength wise) with Open than I did with my fold 4.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Dude, I wrote this script using the Open Apex Edition. Got the OPPO Pen from a friend, and I’m hooked.

[@TT0973]

@JaimeRiveraTech I want the pen, just can't make myself pay $100+ for it.

[@9neters]

After 2 iPhones, I went back to Android with no regrets. I recently bought the OnePlus 12 at an amazing price. I love this phone.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Glad you feel proud of your purchase

[@jonnycarlson9555]

Watching this on my brand new OnePlus 13 😊 I must say that my OnePlus 12 was great in every way besides the slippery back. With the Vegan leather back I will go for unprotected for first time in years for best feeling 😁

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

[@n4ce749]

Oppo and OnePlus, what a duo... I guess next unmatchable phone probably will be the Oppo Find X8 Pro when it goes global.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Been using it. I like it.. it looks a lot like the OnePlus 13 and yet they're very different. We'll see

[@DanThomas1161]

I still have 7pro. 12ram plus 256hd. I have it now for 5 years. I cant fault this phone, its really fast, screen is amazing. Cameras are, for me, good for 'scaning' documents. I have real cameras for photography. Often i think about going to 12. But i just cant find a fault with 7pro yet. So ill stay with it as long as it lasts as is now.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Wow that’s awesome! Glad it’s lasted this long

What's wrong with pixel 9? I'm thinking of buying it. I'm currently using S23 but battery life is not good so thinking about upgrading to pixel 9

[@alpacamale2909]

@@nirmaldas2242 low wifi connectibity range no idea if it's because of the metal chasis, low battery life and slow charging speed compared to my 100 euro motorola g34. reverse volume / power button.Bad finger print implementation in software, google camera requires google photos in order to explore pictures / open the latest pic. Can't get rid of google search bar. Android rom is archaic, for instance if I want to disable bluetooth I have to tap like 3 times. always on display sucks. terrible white line like iphones and that line brekas integration with apps, making them look ugly. the cpu can't play games as like a snapdragon 8 gen 2 or 3 can because it's not optimized so forget about switch emulation. The camera hype is just youtubers being nerds about cameras.

This is the first phone since the 7/7T Pro and the 8 Pro that I actually really liked. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the 13 series. It looks so generic and doesn't have any unique factor anymore.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

I actually really like the 13 series, but you're right. They're different. Trust me, when you hold the 13 it'll dawn on you. Weight distribution is so different
