It just feels so good to see companies like One Plus enter the competition and make it tougher for the other flagship companies and force them to make their products better
thing is that OnePlus used to be here before, then they went upmarket and was found lacking. It's more accurate to say that they're back.
huawei used to challenge direct apple and samsung.
Faster charging is the only stand out feature of OnePlus 12. For a global consumer another cheaper 12R model looks more competitive.
Yes @@FlyingCIRCU175, I had a One Plus 3 myself a few years back
@@proudbacteria1373PWM is better. Animations are better.
AquaTouch is useful.
It supports Dolby Vision.
Stop being ignorant.
This just proves that phones still haven’t hit their peak and incremental improvement is still possible. Well done!
They have tho
You have to ask if there's a need though.
Me when I lie
thats ALL we've been getting for 3-4 years - incremental improvements. phones have (in general) peaked
Round icon style is available in this OS but have additional steps
Settings - personalisation- iconstyle - custom- select square icon and below it have rounded corners,put it to maximum
I can't appreciate enough how detailed your reviews are! No one else does it such detailed and micro as well as macro focused reviews. Most of them just forget about gaming or even performance. Thank you for bringing us the whole bundle of a review.
Hats off!
Did anyone upgrade their one plus 7 pro to this ?? If so how do u like it ???
Did you ever watch Flossy Carter?
@@raniamellak2627im upgrade my 6T McLaren edition after 5,5year usage to this. the phone ordered and on the Way. I hope it so good As the 6t was at 2018 december
Thank you for mentioning the PWM problem. It's been so many years of those horrible OLED screens and I feel that it's not talked as much as it should be.
Amen. This could be a game changer for me and my sensitive eyes.
@@NorseHavocRacing Agreed! I still don't understand Apple with their "care" about our health. Having eye-friendly screens in iPhones should be one of the priorities. Maybe I'm wrong, but just because most people don't know about PWM doesn't mean it can't cause them health problems. I would appreciate if RUclipsrs would talk more about this problem, maybe then manufacturers would be more inclined to do something about it.
I never noticed it and fear i will do from now on. :D
Agreed! Heard about it for the first time a few months ago and couldn't\can't beleive it's not talked about more..
and my generation survived CRT just fine... those monitors gave you black curtain/blinders in you vision after some time
Shoutout to your video editors, they make every transition and edit look so clean! 🔥
They are Soo awesome 💙

@@Vitamin_Protein_16Fr😂😂😂😂
Bruh 🤣
You should know Better as a reviewer that updates will come to fix small annoyance. Reviewers need more common understanding than simple that's it. History is very important. Also, OnePlus 12 has a bit bigger sensor than Samsung an iPhone 15.
LOVE THE VIDDEO!! Also love the casual TyranitarTube shout out by having him on the screen as you describe "Aqua Touch"
Facts lmao 😁😁
Noticed that too. Pretty cool
We need a 12R review! Absolutely stellar video as always. Editing and clarity always top notch!

Ok
@@GaminylGamesdude no flagship phone has it anymore
*12:15** IMagine you are using the phone at 3am you get a notification and it get hidden, and you see no one near* 💀
Great detailed review. I'd wait a month or two and revisit the camera part. OnePlus usually gets the camera system done just enough for launch and then works on improvements shortly after. I have had 3t,4,5t, 7pro, 7 pro McLaren. I can't wait for my 16gb version to come!
The best part is where he used Mr.Bean analogy to explain 😂 16:41 . Too awesome!
Thank you for addressing the PWM issue / flickering of phone screens ! The community that is experiencing these eye strains and headache is awaiting more attention on this topic, and awaiting a high end phone resolving this, as it might have health impact for many users without them even knowing !
What kind of health impact? Do you even know how a lightbulb works?
Flickering at lower frequencies can immediately lead to eye strain and headaches. If the pupil has to open and close very fast you can get permanent damage.
I didn't know that the flickering is common issue, I thought my unit is broken.
@@jesper164au always stares at lightbulb???
How did none of those members in that community know of this?
I don't have problem with this and i knew of it...
9:23 in icon style section there's an option named "custom"
Select it and You'll see rounded corner slider there just slide it to max and you'll get rounded icons :)
That’s good to know, still seems wired there isn’t an immediate toggle for it since that’s most people’s preferred shape for android
Plz no noob bashing ;)
Thanks for the tip. I'm ditching my S10+ and have already preorder my OnePlus 12.
@@omariephipps5347 Good luck man. Still using my OnePlus 7T from 2019 as the daily driver. Still with more than 90% battery health, as snappy as the day I bought it, not a single burn-in on display, and a camera system that easily competes with today's flagships. A good choice can last you a lifetime.
Still with we had that old stock android look from the pre oxygen days. But still looks amazing with all the customization
This was the first review i saw for OnePlus and since then I've looked at more than a dozen OnePlus 12 reviews. None of the others have as clear and complete a review as this review from this English fella.
I found myself compelled to come back and check again.
Great comunicatior. Super nice review. I'll start following you channel now. I'm from Brazil
This channel has become my go to for reviewing new phones. Accompanied with extended detailing, my man goes to the next level of explaining things in laymans terms, and not to mention the incredible animation and editing.
Kudos to your growth.
Agreed, much better and more objective than the biased Marques Brownie
Everyone has bias though @@selfissimo
But it's not a review. It's paid ad. 🤦🏼
Its sad to these legends selling out. Jerryrig can now be invited to events and sponsored for a influenced review. MKB was always in Apple's back pocket. But this guy Aaron is now clearly paid by the likes of OnePlus and presents biased influenced reviews. Half of the review he was reading word for word a script OnePlus PR team gave him in exchange for money. The script was to the side of the camera you can see him constantly glancing lol
Unbox Therapy has become so bland in comparison right😢
I have a OP 8T (still an amazing phone for being almost 4yr old) and I find myself using the alert slider all the time. It's honestly one of my favorite features of the phone.
Edit: I have the OP12 now, and it's absolutely incredible.
Me too with one plus 7 pro
I miss the slider and warp charging after moving to pixel 8 from the 8t, but unfortunately 8t is unusable without custom roms
Same with my 9 pro, and the 6 before it!
With my 6t i don't even use the slider much because i just always keep my phone on silent, still a nice touch though.
I also have the 8t and love the slider but the way they replaced oxygen OS by color OS is a dealbreaker for me, I could not buy a OnePlus phone again because they messed up the software so much
this review is probably the best review I've ever watched of a phone. No wonder you got more followers than my country has habitants.
1:50 Gotta love that Arun acknowledges that Ttar's carrying the whole Pokemon Hype season
I have a OnePlus 5 and had a Xiaomi 6a before that. My phone still has an amazing battery life, even after 5-6 years.
I have OP5 now too. But i have bought the OP 12. Mine is getting tired in battery and when watching on Facebook.
mine 7 pro, i believe this model was the peak of oneplus and the battery ilfe and every works just as almost perfect as the new one.
I had Oneplus 6T for 5 years and had to change the battery twice because of the terrible battery life.
@@PeterPing I had a 5T and changed the battery after 2 years, expecting a big difference. It didn't really make a difference, which makes me think, probably the software played a role in it.
Still rocking my OnePlus5 after 5 years. Still going strong!
This reminds me of the Oneplus 7t Pro in terms of its fluidity! Glad to see OnePlus back to what it felt like
I'm still on my Oneplus 7 Pro and this still doesn't make me want to upgrade.
Same here still using 7t pro and it works just fine and especially the screen quality is great.
Same. I am still unsure if I should update to 12
Same. Ordered one but only because my 7T Pro screen is cracked and no-one can hear me in phonecalls.
@@sketrick732 I went from a 7pro due to failing battery to a 9 pro and it was a good upgrade, I think a 7 to 12 would be huge overall.
Thank you for the truly in-depth review of this phone. This is far better to watch vs fancy shots of the phone
Love the way you dimmed the video brightness when you were talking about dimming.
02:01 I love how the phone opens google meet when he's talking about it being able to differentiate between water and finger lmao
yeah bro😂😂😂
FR pure GOLD
Realised that too😂😂😂
he said it's better at differentiating. not perfect
He was pouring a whole glass so
Superb review! Wow. You really know how to discuss details that people might otherwise not understand. Really great review.
I got my Oneplus 12 a week ago and I'm extremely happy with it. I discovered that the Oxygen OS 14 has "Transitions" in it so there are like 5 or 6 different transitions to choose from when moving between screens. I chose "roll" which makes all the icons turn into a 3D tube and spin as I move from one screen to another. Love it! My wife's Samsung S21+ was upgraded to Android 14 and with all our searching, could not find Transitions on it. So Oneplus opted to add the feature into their version of Android 14 on the Oxygen OS and give it to their customers. Would have been nice to see it demonstrated for people in this review. Transitions are located at the bottom of the screen when you hold your finger on a blank spot of a screen and cause Widgets and other things to be displayed.
I'm also super impressed with how excellent the new WiFi and Bluetooth are. As far as I'm concerned they are perfect. The signals connect way better than my previous devices, and without hiccups. And the stereo speakers are really good, too. I'm a musician and so music listening is something my ears are always honed in on.
I concur with all the things MrWho'sTheBoss said in this review.
i read all of it 😭
I always loved your videos. So informative
I'm getting my S24 Ultra but I seem to really like what OnePlus is doing with these phones! Used to love them and had a OnePlus 7 Pro but they started getting more expensive and became less worth it over other brands. But these seem priced very well and I'll have to keep an eye on them.
As a S23 ultra owner I really like seeing other brands of android do so well. I formerly used to own a ZTE Zmax pro, loved it. Hope you enjoy your 24!
As a Samsung note 5 owner I am happy for u dude
As a fellow 24 Ultra owner and ex OP7Pro owner. I totally agree.
had a op7p also, it was really the last OP to appeal, i’m also ordering the s24u
Almost all games basically 120fps in this phone wtf. And the UI seemingly matched with iPhone UI optimizations because of hardware to software "communication" (whatever that was). OnePlus 12 is outrageously so powerful and ridiculously cheap for a flagship. January isn't even over yet we already get flagship phones this weirdly powerful. Like what will happen for the next 11 months??
Nice seeing OnePlus back at competitive prices
yeah but it is worth it
I mean their Nord series has always been competitive, but I'm glad they're including flagships again
@@ellieraccoonI believe he meant proper flagships at competitive pricing
They used to be known as a flagship killer @@ellieraccoon
Nord is cheap and lame even to previous OnePlus standards.
@@metaversewr8827Nord is actually a good series first Nord was awesome for the price at that time..
Thanks for the detailed technical review. Seems like you have talked with OnePlus pretty long to understand their tech in absolute detail. You have made me your fan with this review. 👍

As an owner of an 8T, I can vouch that the split battery was a genius idea.
I just traded my 8T for a 12 and man I'm a happy guy
@@superchiller123chillI'm planning on doing the same. 8T has been a champ but it's starting to fall behind a bit
I have op 9 and is now bad@@maxp2305
Broooo Im also rocking my 8t and love it still. Looking for a newer phone now, my battery life is noticeably hurting.
@@wote2760 It's a good time to get a new phone. My trade in for my 8T was $290.
As someone that is PWM sensitive and can’t use any modern OLED phones, I appreciate you bringing up the topic.
9:19 To achieve circular icons, choose the custom option and select the first shape. Then, adjust the rounded corners slider to its maximum setting.
I've been following OP12 since it was announced, but your video was the best explanations I've seen.
I totally agree.
And you buy it?
9:22 You can get a circle but it's a bit hidden. When selecting the square icons, you can adjust the corner radius. If you turn it all the way up, it'll end up as a circle. At least that's the way it works on OxygenOS 12 - they might've changed it but I don't see why they'd do that.
It works, I'm on OOS14 OnePlus 11.
The better question would be why WOULDN'T you want a square for your icons. It's the best utilization of your screen space possible. Ant it just looks better
@@Rafaelinux but its not? a circle is smaller than a square if the diameter is equal to the squares side
@@nicolsson_yt8344 It IS better utilization because for the same radius/side length, the square uses more space (better usage of the space) than the circle (which will have empty area where the squares corners would be), which is exactly what you just said 😂
@@Rafaelinux I personally use circles as I don't want my icons to be too big. I don't even think the hitbox matches the shape anyway, so there is no real disadvantage to using circle icons. Comes down to personal preference.
Wouldn't even say square icons utilize the screen space better as you get to see more of your wallpaper with circle icons.
As someone who has been retired for several years, I can only say that I so wish phones like this had been available 15 years ago when I traveled for a living. The devices we endured back in the day were so filled with compromise I'm amazed we bothered with them at all. Today, my day-to-day driver is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, but I am so grateful for the smartphone features that have migrated to it from device manufacturers like One Plus. Additionally, your talent for keeping me aware of which new features to keep an eye out for is greatly appreciated. Your channel is one of the few tech channels that gets the full ring of the RUclips "bell." My compliments.
Your daily driver is an 11 inch tablet?
@@firstclass000 14" actually. I do have a phone, but for telephone service basically.
@@Indrid__Cold I thought you meant you used your tablet as your phone

the video comparison of oneplus and the iphone was too good! The explanation of what is happening there was an AHA moment.
Excellent review of an excellent phone. Your comments hit the mark in all areas. Thanks.

This is definitely a phone I’m looking forward to try! I’ve been an iPhone and Samsung user, and this one is definitely looking like a flagship of the year!

Switching between iphone and Samsung must be painful in both ways

@@Ghost.W.A if the outer is hot, the inner isn't
Easy as that
If your phone is hot, it's doing a good job
I wouldn't go for the 1+. Its still unpolished in my view. It looks ugly and that camera nah. I can't imagine not using Samsung. The user experience on their flagships is just top tier for me personally. That said 1+ is really doing amazing work
I always forget to like your videos but this one made me do it, one of the best videos.. 👌🏻
9:19 you can make it circle by going in custom icons and make the rounded corner tab full to get the classic rounded icon look
You still get me excited to watch your reviews, man. It's been like 6,7 years now and you get better and better. Video quality, humor, you name it, you are absolutely genuis.😊
I was looking for a new phone and I considered getting S24 Ultra but a lot of their improvements is focused on camera. That's just a thing that I really don't use that often, I have no interest in capturing every moment of my life. However, this phone looks amazing for me - great performance , great battery life, cheaper than iPhone and Samsung... And if the only worse parameter is camera, well, it's not really a competition anymore. Thanks for this review!
OnePlus Cameras will receive updates as usual thant many revivers don't mention an lack common understanding. Every year same thing. They never learn. The Camera is awesome. Those small annoyance is will disappear in 2 month period. The phone just lunch today for Pre-ordarly Globally. Also, One Plus 12 has slightly bigger Sensor than iPhones an Samsung Cameras.
The camera ain't worse though lol. The sensors are comparable to Galaxy S24 Ultra's sensors.
Same thing i've been saying@@Misael8924
@@Misael8924 didn't even launch yet, there's still about two weeks of preorder time before release
Got the s24 ultra for £820 without trade in
@14:39 Didn't know you were a Pritam fan 😁. Thanks for the fantastic review, btw!
One thing that you haven't really covered imo is the reception.
How well does the phone receive normal mobile data indoors/outdoors in comparison to other phones (while on the same vendor)?
For me, who is living in an area where the cellphone coverage can be really spotty, that is a point that is definitely missing.
Have you tested that and simply not included, or is that something that is simply being ignored due to the fact that it's not important enough for most users?
Most reviewers don't test it since it's really variable from person to person. Different people will have different carriers, different technologies, and different bands. Not to mention the same phone can have different bands supported in different countries.
@@SouvikMukherjeeACFCOD Couldn't they just put the same sim card in both phones and see which performs better? I get there are so many variables in the world. But if you test it with the same sim card at the same, time, location etc. you can see which is better. Doesn't matter which circumstances you will have because at any time the better one will perform better.
For example my brothers iphone has arround 350mbit/s wifi connection while my oneplus 9 pro has around 200 mbit/s. Tested at same time and location with connection to same router network. Iphones are always performing incredibly a tleast for wifi
Wow i didn't expect to see such unique improvements on fundamentals on smartphones. I figured we peaked that and now we're onto 'new bleeding edge' stuff of possibilities with pixel's ai processing and such.
Glad to see there's so much to do in the base pillars of a phone. This made me want to buy the phone

1:50 , my man Ttar finally got the shoutout he deserves. This guy really is one of the goat of RUclips 😂
Absolutely
Fr, was looking for this comment. Just came from ttar’s newest vid where he points this out
sweet. Time for an upgrade. I am still rocking the one plus 7pro from 2019 and it was an amazing phone. I am so glad that one plus are still on top of their game even after all this time.
I got mine today. It's awesome 😎 love it my first flagship phone
first tech review video that was unrelated to anything I was currently looking to buy that i watched til completion. Learned quite a bit about new tech. Subscribed.
Oooooo that slick visual effects 3 seconds in, love it
The amount of research he has done for this video is amazing!
THE most detailed video one this beast of a phone
Just ordered mine, looking forward to it
Very nice review with simple explanations for the everyday user to understand how software and hardware cooperate , keep it up !
Amazing explanation on the brightness and pwm dimming. I love that. Please keep stuff like that in reviews, important to know for me!
Just pre-ordered mine, they are offering the 16gb/512gb model for the same 799.99 as the 12gb/256 model if you preorder, plus they gave me 300 for my old OnePlus 9 (which I only paid $300 for during a black Friday sale ) so only ended up costing alittle over $500 bucks for the Top spec OnePlus 12, well worth it. Can't wait for it to arrive the week after my bday, gonna be a great birthday present to myself lol
bro is lucky af
I got $260 off my OP8 Pro. Overall $610 for 16gb RAM and 512GB storage is a great deal.
I've seen that offer and was like, man I'm going for it. Then realized I live in Europe and the price here was 1050 euros and no trade in available.
@@alexandruilea915Just get it from China and install oxygen. Very cheap.
Did the same thing but I've got a OnePlus 8pro that has been serving me well for almost four years. Getting a new phone for a hefty chunk off is great
the one feature i realy like is being able to set up genstures so that when the screen is fully off i can draw a V shape to turn on flashlight arrows to skip songs two lines with two fingers to pause etc i can customize it a lot this feature is so slept on ....
It's so interesting to me coming from P40pro and now having P60pro to hear things that I have experienced with Huawei from then and it seems to be new now.
I find it odd when OnePlus HAS already fixed some of the camera problems in the OP12 in their OP7 Pro, that phone had laser autofocus and a crazy good pop-up front facing camera
I don’t know why everyone ran away form the pop up camera 🤦🏽♂️
I still got my OnePlus7tPro and the pop up camera still works amazingly and I do take a lot of photos. I wish they kept the pop up camera
That was the last good op phone after that its all been downhill
@@sohammangle1100 as an ex owner of OP7 pro i can say it's true. I've never felt the urge to upgrade to another OP phone and ended up getting Vivo instead.
+1 I still use my OP7Pro for more than 4,5 years. And now I'm intensively looking for something worth upgrading to.
Really glad u reviewed this phone, I was confused whether to get this or the new Iqoo phone, I'm choosing this purely for the amazing software experience cause hardware is mostly similar and I believe as a brand I trust OnePlus a lot nowadays, thanks to how well they addressed the green line issue (unlike several other companies)
Overall ridiculously good phone, and an amazing video as always
2:52 😂 you care about how the phone looks
Other than that, great video. Very informative, which is something I love so I'll be following you for everything.
Oneplus alert slider is brilliant. I've had oneplus phones since oneplus 2 and I use the slider all the time.
Such an amazing review. Thank you for talking about the PWM issue. I didn’t know why i was getting so frequent headaches.
You reviews are appealing and descriptive ❤❤ Keep it up..😊😊
I've now had a oneplus north for around 2.5 years and I love almost everything about it. The few lows I have are making me think of getting a replacement though. Notifications: the haptic slider on the side gets switched all the time, and the vibration on it is so minimal that I keep missing even phone calls, even when my phone is in my pocket or directly next to me on the couch.
Here is a pro at reviews. Making it look SO effortless throughyears kf experience. Many, many hours of editing and takes to make such a "simple" looking video.
Much appreciated Arun.
One of the best phone reviews I've recently watched. Lots of actual information about the device. Love it.
These are all bullet points that should have taken 5 mins to read, instead I had to sit through this bollocks.
@@loveanimals-0197dont watch then?
Isn't that the bare minimum you'd expect from a device review? Information about the device.
He actually still missed some key information like the IR Blaster.
I'm not a huge camera guy. I only take pictures when needed. I don't take selfies and upload them to instagram or anything. So this phone seems right up my alley! (Plus, I currently have the OnePlus 10T)
Same unless I'm on vacation or at a concert or sporting event or whatever I'm not taking a bunch of selfies
Same here, Oneplus 10T had worst reviews on internet, but i still love it, And this 20 min fast charge 0-100% still helps me alot. (12 Looks amazing, maybe if my battery life goes wild im gonna change it. But looks like i will give him a chance for 1-2 years more. Lets see what's gonna comes up next year... For now 4800 mAh/5400 mAh, still not big jump for an upgrade.
No reason to ditch your 10T.
I have a 10T as well. Went against everyone when getting it, but has been nothing but convenient for me.
But it's a good camera
Shots fired at tech chap
Just saw one of his thumbnail and though it was a mrwhosetheboss video
So many new changes which bring amazing quality for a smartphone user...thanks Arun! This was a lasting review for a phone that MKBHD says is same as previous version..!! This review would alone make me switch to this new Android...been using the OnePlus 7t Pro till now!! Go team 1+
Excellent job brother. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into this absolutely informative review 💯
I have been subscribed to this channel for about 3 years now and this according to me is the best video that you have ever made ❤
Keep up the good work
21:31 all this that you like is from the Hasselblad tuning. That's what they're trying to add to "yet another tri camera phone"
Have a oneplus 8T rn and im so tired of a bunch of minor bugs but at the same time everything they mentioned in this video still blows my mind that it has it
Cool tech, thank you for sharing so much details 👍🏼
Forever heartbroken that they experimented with the pop-up camera with the OP7 Pro, got massively positive feedback from it, and then never implemented it again 😭 still might have to consider this 12 given how insanely great it is otherwise
Probably because the massive number of broken pop up cameras that ended up in service centers. (Broken can include physically breaking, dust/sand getting into the motor gears,) and also it would not allow them to make it fully waterproof.
I've had my OnePlus 7t pro since 2019 and the pop ups never once messed about@@swapnilmankame
@@swapnilmankamedo you have a source of where you’ve heard there were a lot of damaged units from the pop up camera? I’ve only heard of it actually keeping up really well
@@swapnilmankame still using mine OP 7T Pro with pop up camera havent had any problems for so many years. And still not upgrading couse i want it back too. i hate that selfie camera on your screen. And mine doesn't have official ip rating, but was droped in my hot bathtub around 10 times and no problems too.
My 7 pro is still going strong, never had a problem with the popup camera
So i have had a Samsung Note4 (2013) which was decent and then i moved to a 1+7T around 2019 i think.. Samsung came with so much bloatware and their own OS that despite being a great phone would sometimes heat up or freeze etc.. the 1+7T has given absolutely no issues till date.. i think i have had to restart it maybe thrice in al these 5 years ..
I have been looking at comparison videos between the 1+12R and 1+12 and was almost certain that i dont need a new phone since the 1+7T has no problems so far (well, no OS updates / security patches and abysmal 128GB storage that cannot be expanded) and this video came along..
the quality+knowledge of+in this video is such that you have single handedly convinced me of gettignt he 1+12 now..
Most detailed and precise review! Thanks!
1:40 The alert slider has proven to be exceptionally advantageous in various situations for me, it demonstrating its practicality when you use the phone for long term rather then just for few weeks.
as a oneplus user I want to add I also find this feature ingenious. Changing environments home->work->home->sports->free time->sleep always used to be pain in the ass, cause I had to go through so much navigation in other phones just to mute/unmute my phone. But with this it's way easier and intuitive
@@elchupacabra3055 exactly 💯, i am a student so it's extremely convenient to just mute by just sliding the slider without taking phone out of the beg or pocket.
None OnePlus user will not understand its convenience 😀🙈
Love it honestly. That slider says "it's a one plus phone" to see it be change location is a hit for me.
Once you switch to OnePlus, going back to anything without an alert slider and super fast charging is a tragedy.
Thanks for talking about PWM. There are communities of people that talk about this problem. Some people like me can't look to an oled phone more than 5 minutes. But Chinese companies are improving this problem. My Honor 90 is more than 3000 PWM and Xiaomi 13 as an option to turn on Anti flicker. The only two phones I can use for a while. I'm fine with LCDs
Just upgraded from a very old Galaxy S8 to the OP12 yesterday! Can't wait!
Amazing review! Keep it up!
Always waiting for more video from you!
I believe brands wait only for your full reviews. It's just perfect!❤
Watching in My Oneplus 6..still love it..only problem is battery now ..one of the beast product!!
Me watching this after buying my op12
How's your experience... OnePlus 12 vs iphone 15 🤔, which is better?
Same lmfao
Excellent excellent review. Superb.
1st time I rated a smartphone video reviewer.
Quick, concise and loads of information cues for people to pick up on and dig in a bit more if they would like to.
Bravo
Good review, as always. Just a correction on the PWM dimming part: for what I know, the latest iPhone 15 and 15 pro/max use a refresh rate of 480hz, while the Samsung Galaxy s23 uses 240hz. Not sure about s24, I think they upgraded their screens to a 492hz PWM.
The photographic functioning of the oneplus at 19.00 with the shadows is actually more impressive and correct than the iphone's that's eliminating shadows automatically. Theoretically exposing correctly for the brightest part of the image is the way to go with true shadows (in photography this contrast can be essential) and in post-processing bringing up the shadows should be left as a choice to the user.
That's a lot of info. Well done Aron

As a happy owner of the OnePlus 11, really happy to see the OnePlus 12 absolutely killing it. Welcome back, OnePlus :)
Phones like this are exactly why tech enthusiasts fell in love with you guysss
One plus died long ago,Look at the skin..it's a rebranded OPPO phone
nailed it!
But how is this phone killing it when the IQOO 12 is killing IT lol, the Oneplus 12 is a good phone, no, a great phone even. But the IQOO 12 is an astoundingly great phone that got overlooked back then but compare this phone with that and you won't find much to complain about. That phone has better performance and a better screen (more brightness but lower resolution) for a far lower cost. Cameras are a toss up and speakers are better on the Oneplus and that's it. Vivo is the one that has been slowly but surely killing it for the past few years. My next phone will be a Vivo or if the Oneplus 13 has a better display than the S23 Ultra (peak brightness that is higher than 1250-1300 nits) then the Oneplus 13.
Vivo and OnePlus are from the same Manufacturers, BBK Holdings.
Love the whimsicott smogon page Arun snuck in there. He tends to frame his Pokemon knowledge as pretty generic to make it accessible to a wider audience I’m guessing, but the deep cut is appreciated lol
9:26 You can actually change icons to circle. Select square, swipe up a little and drag the rounded corner bar to max. I can do it on OnePlus 7T.
I've been using Oneplus Phones for a while now and I still enjoy them. I tried switching to a Pixel but had to switch back to Oneplus. I don't know, it's something about the fluidity, feel in the hand, and just simple little features that makes it so hard to switch away from. At this point I won't even consider a phone without an alert slider as I use it all the time. It's just a damn good phone for all around!
well said thanks, but the camera issues i dont like..
YE THE CAMERA IS ALWAYS GARBAGE MAN. I dont understand how oneplus has been hyping up their cameras so much and its not even MEDIOCRE 😭😭😭😭@@erikjohansen9154
I think you hit the nail it he head here compared to the noise a lot of people make. A lot of people ignore how a particular system/setup/hardware becomes more useful to its users over time. This is why I'm always infuriated by RUclipsrs are and people of forums when they say shout about the best phone everyone should buy that year, be it iPhone SKU, Galaxy S SKU or Pixel SKU. I aways feel like they ignore the fact that phone users are not reviewers, it's not just about new features, phone users actually use phones to make their lives easier and have developed a certain workflow. After that, the best device for them is the one that comfortably fits in that workflow and improves it. But I guess, these videos are for making money at the end of it all as much as they help to keep the manufacturers a bit more honest.
Glad to see OnePlus back to what they started with, flagship killers. I own a N20 and have been pretty happy with it after owning Motorola and Samsung phones, kind of miss the moto gestures but oxygen, lack of bloat and the battery life mostly make up for that. The shelf like you mentioned is one of the thing that doesn't make much sense and the N20 not being one of the higher end phones doesn't get android version updates like the others but for the money great phone for my use.
Here in the US they are giving storage upgrade for free and 260 bucks on trade in for older oneplus, it comes down to 550 dollars, then it's hard to argue against
i guess its time to switch from my One Plus Nord to the 12 :D happily enough they started pre-sale in germany ( welcome back)
So much amazing information in the video! What an excellent review!!!
