Just ordered my OnePlus 12 and i was goin through it's videos on YT and i gotta say hands down this was a really great review felt like a friend explaining me everything in detail ✨ really grateful for the efforts you put into making this. Hope you have a great day bud.
Hello, i am from Russia and spent a shitload of watching videos on the 12 and the 12R as one of these is going to be my next phone. I gotta say, you take so many aspects others did not even dream about; the 'stuff inside the box' for example and how you compare it to other brands out there. Please keep on making such great videos, you have gained yourself a new Subscriber for sure. One thing I wonder about, not sure if you did mention it, but does it get hot/warm when watching RUclips? Or streaming in general? All in one, again, a extremely good review. The english you speak also is by worlds more understanable than, for example, the Indian videos. I did not even need subtitles to actually understand something, that's gotta mean something! Thank you for this gem of a video!
I have the 12, it stays chilly during any regular phone task, streaming is like a walk in the park for it, barely consumes any power while streaming too. The only time it will get hot is when playing genshin impact or some other heavy game at max graphics and fps, to that end you can enable frame generation, which will make genshin for example run at 40 fps and generate frames to make it feel even better than regular 60, while drawing less power which means less heat as well. Not to mention that it cools down super fast once you are done pushing it.
Your comment means a lot to me Makes my effort totally worth it when I am able to help someone make a decision on a device The 12 does not get warm/hot at all while watching RUclips or streaming The 12R is a great device as well
Just here to say my 12 never gets hot, even when charging. If anything it gets slightly warm but it's not just in one spot like all previous phones I've had, it disperses the heat all around so you hardly notice it.
The OP 12 has a Vapour Chamber to handle the heat and claims to be the biggest one compared to any other device and so far I haven't seen any heating issues with mine 😊
Yeah it's lame Sadly not much we can do because we all pretty much need a phone nowadays The phrase "vote with your wallet" gets thrown around but people still be buying Samsung, Google, and Apple and none of them have a charging brick in the box
if the charging speed didn't improve with every generation it would be fine, but one of the advertised things is 'hey the new phone charges faster', for which you need the new charger
@@aonodensetsu Exactly! And we want the faster charging and for the prices we pay for the devices we deserve the charging brick included in the box!! Do you know some manufacturers put the bricks in the box when selling to another region but not when selling in the US/North America region because they consider us "suckers" for putting up with it. Unfortunately we don't have as many choices for smartphones that work here either so it has become harder to "speak with our wallets". I bet if we boycotted upgrading one year, magically the big three (Apple, Samsung & Google) would put chargers back in the boxes.
Random thing I discovered, if you go into developer settings, you can make every animation faster than default and it makes the phone feel even faster.
Oh yes I've known this for a long time You can set them all to 0.5x I've found that doing this fan sometimes create slight stutters in the animations though
The cable can do 100 watt. The 80 watt charger is the max output on 120 volt. Where the wall plug standard is 220-240 you can get the 100 watt. OnePlus chargers are chunky because they put the logic control in the charger, which moves more heat to the charger, and let's the phone have more thermal headroom.
I still have Oneplus 7 Pro, don’t feel like need to upgrade at all. Screen is amazing, battery is not top notch but it’s okay enough and is charging really fast. Very fast phone in its operation. I use this phone for work a lot for years now. It’s not missing a beat.
That's good to hear that OnePlus is reliable like that If a device is getting the job done in a timely manner then yeah no real need to upgrade I don't upgrade my phones because I need to it's more of an enthusiast hobby haha
Yes but your moving toward component failure. So consider how many chances you get to 'sell' that phone for 100 dollars. Plus at 5 generations there will be noticeable improvements. Plus your phone has fallen out of security and OS updates. May sound minor but with mobile OS experience is so competitive it gotten better in so many ways over the years and major apps seem to have more issues as while they may keep compatibility to old versions of Android they don't patch bugs or make sure new abilities work with it
I can't believe we're paying over $1000 for a flagship but most nowadays are doing just that and people wonder why companies continue to raise their prices and we get lesser and lesser in the box pretty soon there will be no box just a phone delivery in a plastic sleeve and hand you the phone in store when you purchasing. Sam's will slowly upgrade things like charging speed to 60 watts maybe 2 or 3 years from now and charge $100 more 1399.99 s26 ultra
Demand. Other brands are smart and if you're not you will be replaced by the competitor. Products can get out of hand when they're needed and a convenience. Apple done this to this market. Samsung is fair in my opinion giving back to the customer and their product tree is massive and growing. Oneplus is less now, but what do you think will happen once the demand shifts to iphone or galaxy level. This is what we have to monitor. Other brands have several dedicated features and hardware, what does oneplus have. They are a decently priced, acceptable for many alternative for now, not a replacement for true galaxy ultra users. Too many things missing. The list is longer than you think, devices have the ability to provide mobile convenience and satisfaction at the highest level. Cross Compatibility, exclusive features, long term support, and essential function are the standards. Galaxy provides the best option, iphone provides the most popular, pixel provides the stock experience. Who can force their way in without looking like a limited clone.
@@TheMrreese24 Yea I been looking at cheaper flagship that offer more for your money like under $800. Eventually flagships will be for rich and dumb people who keep up with names
I would say One Plus 12 between price and product is shaking up the system you talk about. BTW OP12 rivals or bears the phones you talk about and anyone except fanboys know it. It has the same chip as the Samsung Ultra 24, except Samsung has a custom variant with a slight faster clock...put both phones under load and they both are throttled so they perform about equal on average. I could go in about the technicals but I will not bother. You can buy two OP12 with easily available discounts for the same price as certain flagships and you will get two free chargers and cables to boot. I am curious what the final sales figures are going to look like. We will see...have a good one. Remember you can bootload on OP...not on Samsung cause they take your money and say no.
Hey man, a very thorough review great job maybe the best review I’ve seen of this phone on RUclips .My only complaint or maybe criticism is the background and the view of the phone as you’re reviewing it . your content is really good but your presentation of it … it’s what’s keeping your channel from getting more viewers that part you need to work on. I just wanna repeat great job on the Content, but your delivery needs a bit more work.
@@anthonytech yes and on the right side just above the power button making it super easy to to switch the modes even in your pocket so that u didnt have to pick the phone up
There are two batteries and they charge in parallel. Only the OnePlus cables works in this mode. Also there is a conversion in the charger that on all other phones happens in the phone. This conversion keeps that extra heat in the charger instead of the phone. That helps preserve the battery. Heat is the enemy of batteries. Keeping that heat in the charger has been happening since the 3t and the double battery started around the 8t. Buy oneplus cables to use with oneplus chargers.
Yeah my OP12 doesn't get very warm while charging which I really like (excessive heat is bad) It's a bit of a bummer that you have to use OnePlus charger and cable in order to get the fast charging speeds without all the heat
@@anthonytech put it this way.... It gets the same amount of heat as other phones when hooked up to a standard high output power delivery USB C to USB c charger. It won't be full 80 watts (in the US) but rather half that, which is still faster than almost all phones. So in short, it has better than normal charging abilities with non OnePlus charger+cables, and ABNORMALLY faster+cooler abilities using the right charger+cable. It's a win/win. You CAN use cheaper gear and you CAN choose to reap the extra extra benefits of using their better, though more expensive stuff. You extend the battery life by using their lower heat system AND get a huge speed boost. The battery will last longer due to heat savings AND you will be quicker out the door with a full day's charge by simply charging as you brush your teeth and gather your stuff to leave (a ten or fifteen minute boost charge). I place my charger centrally in my house and plug in as I walk by sometime when I'm eating. That gives me a full charge, and if I missed a chance to charge, I do that last minute boost charge going out the door and I'll never run out of charge. I have the earlier OnePlus charger from my 3t days which does the in charger conversion but not double speed parallel battery charging.... But I stopped even using any car charging cuz it simply isn't needed to last the rest of the day. The OnePlus charging system is a game changer. It's not really a bummer. It can't change physics with non OnePlus gear, but it CAN do doubly clever stuff to give huge benefits. It's good both ways. I've only fully quick charged about 3 or 4 times using non OnePlus gear, but I plan a little and position my charger wisely to make using their system absolutely painless. And my battery will last longer than other phones simply by the heat savings. I'm cool with that. It's a bummerless phone! :-;
@@wote2760 if you have any 10 foot cables, use a program like Ampere to measure how much current us actually getting through. (There are no apps like that for iOS). I've used that app to check which cables work with which batteries and or chargers. You'll be surprised. Longer cables simply don't have enough metal in them to carry the current. There is a reason a cable that carries two times 50 watts is short. Since this system charges so incredibly fast you sort of don't need to install yourself somewhere comfortable with a long cable. Put a simple extension cord near where you charge most and use the OnePlus cables and charge for a very short time. Today I did it when I ate a quick lunch. I was suddenly at 100 percent. Then unplug. The goal is to get AWAY from having a plugged in phone. Believe me. This OnePlus super quick charging is a way to get freedom from cables.
Returning my OP12R! Was initially ecstatic over my upgrade, but soon found that it blocks notifications on some apps and no fixes found, only many, many other frustrated people on Reddit. Also drops the network connection making apps just load until wifi mode is clicked off and on again. None of the households other 5 units have any issues with the home wifi. Same at work... Basic function just don't work, all setting tripple checked. Returning to my trusted OP 5T, no issues there, only a crappy camera, which I couldn't care less about.
Dang that's lame. Did you check Sleep Standby Optimization under power saving settings? It says some notifications will be delayed. I've always had mine turned off.
Unfortunately the tiles arrangements reset every time you turn off the phone,this should be an easy software fix, but seems this issues has been around for a while on oxygen OS , not at deal breaker for me, as I'm watching your video from my OP12
@@ShardstapoRotmg if you add, remove or change sequence to match your preference, if tou reboot your phone, all modifications will reset to original arrangement
@@hectorvelez79 Arrangement of what though? I don't know what you mean when you say "tiles." Are you talking about the apps on the home screen? Or the notification drawer?
I have had mine just over a month and you would be hard pressed to find a better value proposition even at full retail. I ended up paying 449 plus tax after my trade plus the already discounted sales price. Solid all-rounder.
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!
The idea behind Europe's push for devices without chargers in the box was that the life expectancy of a charger surpasses the life expectancy of a phone. Including a charger with every device is a waste and unnecessary cost.
I can understand that. Still though it's lame that phone manufacturers are taking away but still charging the same prices. Are we just going to excuse them when all we get is a device in an "eco friendly" envelope and not even a box anymore? Where do we draw the line, ya'know?
Yup, bet the phone manufacturers had lobbiest pushing that story. Do you realize how much they make selling folks chargers and do you think many people are using their old chargers on the new phones? Most old chargers are low wattage too. It is about the $$$$
@@FredFix I'm using my 65W OnePlus USB type C 3 year old charger for my phone, tablet, smartwatch, camera, laptop, bluetooth communication units, ear buds, and headphone. One charger. So, I submit that you're mistaken
@@NMalteCMe too, I'm still using my 65 watt charger, to but Fred is right, rhat MOST chargers are low power outside of the OnePlus world. Now keep mind the 65 watt charger is a bit of a perfect storm high point for chargers. For example it works fine computers charging at full speed including using on non OnePlus cables. But the new charger for the OnePlus 12 doesn't charge computers at even 65 watts. My wife's computer reports that it is low power. I also ordered the double port OnePlus charger and it isn't working as well using the mix of oneplus cables I've got. OnePlus sort of crossed a line with the new 100 watt chargers (I'm in Europe) they work correctly with OnePlus but might work with other devices, too. The 65 watt seemed to have fewer problems and it just worked. I appreciate having the chargers and all of the cables, but I don't want to involved my wife in trying to remember which cable to use.for her computer and Samsung phone. So my older 65 watt charger is making our lives easier for us (for her especially). Keep an eye on how the newer charger works for you and hopefully you'll get it to work optimally for you and maybe you will give us some hints on what we might avoid if you find any limitations.
I'm not much into taking pictures or videos (other than making videos on YT) so I can't really speak on that What I may do is make a short comparing video on my iPhone to the OnePlus, maybe even throw in the ZFlip5
@@anthonytech Oh that's really humble of you. Thanks so much! Actually I'm planning on upgrading to OnePlus 12. So, it would be really helpful in making decisions. My essentials are Camera, battery, and speaker qualities.
@@niveditamk8358 I can tell you for certain the battery life and speakers are top notch. You'll really like it. Keep an eye out on my channel for a short comparing cameras
Hello brother It's a really great and detailed video...thanks for uploading it Just wanted to know if you have noticed any rattling sound around the cameras.? I know it's pretty normal to hear it because of OIS but mine is making a lot of noice lately.. Please reply.
I traded in my 2019 Macbook pro to Best Buy and they gave me exactly enough credit to buy the OnePlus 12R and I am not one bit disappointed with it I absolutely love this OnePlus phone, I already have a PC I built so it was a win win in my opinion
@@anthonytech I really do agree, before the 12R I was using the iPhone 14 plus and I can't get over how much better this OnePlus is compared to the 14 plus
@@ethanmckamey6973 iPhones have their place I have both and have used both extensively There are things I really like about both, which as a “techy” or reviewer I have to be in tune with both
I just bought the Oneplus 12. Think ill keep it. Was debating between it and the s24. Im in the US. Wish there was more AI. Haven't gotten a new phone for a few years though so this is quite an upgrade for me. Bought the wireless charger. Didn't come w a brick only cable. Annoying for the price but what can you do. The phine came w the brick and cable. But i can't keep and extra charger in another location.
Yeah I heard OnePlus is working on AI Probably won't be as good as Samsung or Google You might have to buy another brick from OnePlus At least they include one in the box which is more than most phone makers do
I actually have the S24+ and just got the OnePlus 12 and I'll say the OP12's battery life is TOP NOTCH... I've transferred my info to the OP12 not to take anything away from the S24+ but the OnePlus I'm comfortable with the battery life is I don't have my charger on me
Don't you have problems using Bluetooth audio? I find the overall wireless audio quality poor and the codecs extremely unstable, at less than 1 meter the sound degrades and going for a walk down the street with the Wi-Fi activated is a feast of disconnections, clicks and audio interruptions that can be heard in "mono" mode. The native Raw format is undeniably disastrous, but with Gcam or Open camera it is solved very well although not all cameras work and several parameters have to be configured. Just leaving one font (roboto) without being able to access or download others also seems regrettable to me. Little personalization. My 3 biggest issues with this phone.
I agree with your assessment that the software is somwhere in the middle of Pixel stock "boring" UI (which I like) and Samsung's evermore complicated massively customizable OneUI. I'd say OnePlus is closer to Pixel than Samsung. Since when do we need a separate app Goodlock to do customizations in Samsung, just freaking nuts imo... Oxygen OS is not as good as it was in Carl Pei's days @ OnePlus for sure! But it's not bad. Thanks for the thorough review.
All phones have bugs. Updates and work around fix that. You can bootload with OnePlus and they will show you how. Try that with Samsung for example and they will say no.
You say very early in the video that unless there's specific details on the for example Pixel 8, it would be fair to go for the OP12. The problem is that every Pixel I've had, so the Pixel series in general, has drastic issues with overheating under load, especially in combination with charging. Which in turn worsens the battery performance and even the system performance in general to such a degree that it is nearly unusable. I can't think of a feature Pixel offers that would weigh heavily enough to make up for that.
Everyone's experience with devices can vary widely I'm not exactly sure the technical reasons as to why that happens but Pixel 8 series and especially Pixel 9 series has received very good reviews
An excellent video, most especially for those of us are planning to move from a basic flip-phone to a smartphone. Most videos are, frankly, intimidating. This one is much more relaxed in tone and tempo in presenting information. Actually showing what a feature does, instead of telling about it is a big advantage. Thank you.
Wifi issues. Just returned this oneplus 12 today. Oneplus support said it was T mobile and it comes with another network installed in it callem optimum network. The wifi is choosing which network is better. Oneplus told me to call tmobile to figure out the optimum network that comes preinstalled in this OP12 phone. Moving on from oneplus.
@@anthonytech i bought this phone from oneplus store. Optimum network is out west california area. I think? I wanted this op12 phone. I never seen a different network pre installed on a brand new device in my life? IDK? Im not happy at all though.
Nice takeway .. I have a broken S22 Ultra, which isn't the best flagship phone I've had apart from the camera... But this one plus 12 really looks something
It's great I've been loving it Have barely touched my ZFlip5 since I got the OP12 I've had some minor issues but nothing that sways me away from the phone
I heard a reviewer call the Oneplus 12 a Midrange priced phone with Flagship phone features that describes it perfectly. Edit : There are a variety of cases and skins if you want to customize it
Hello, I am very interested in this cell phone, but looking at the video I think your personal phone is a Samsung? why? I am very worried about switching to oxygen os
I've been dailying the OnePlus since my unboxing video a few weeks ago Samsung does have more customization overall, but OxygenOS is a great balance of feeling like near-stock android and incorporating a good amount of customization out of the box I think most people will really like OxygenOS
Exactly! Most people it seems do not understand that. Samsung makes you pay big bucks to own a phone and then tells you that you can not bootload...that ranks right up there with paying $1200 and getting no charger. OnePlus even shows how to do bootload... I have had Samsung and the more I study One Plus 12...I am impressed. I will have OP 12 or OP13 soon enough.
I am in your situation and after researching both excellent phones I agree with one reviewer that said the price of the OP 12 is so close in USAbto the OP12R that if you can afford it.. buy the OP12. If you live outside USA than that may change things. Here, you can get a OP12R base 8/128 for near low $300 with student discount stacked with other discounts.
I noticed something. It's been 4-5 days since I got my OnePlus 12 512gb and since day one I feel like the battery isn't as long lasting as I thought. I actually saw a video about a guy talking about different features and tips for this phone for 20 minutes and the battery didn't drop from 100%, it started with 100% and at the end it was still at 100%. But my phone after I fully charged it, and after about a few minutes and I wasn't even using the phone, it went down by 1% and I know that's not a huge deal maybe but I did notice this. Did I maybe received a bad unit? Or maybe OnePlus sends different units to the reviewers then what the customers get. But I have noticed that the battery drains a little bit faster then I expected or atleast what I saw from reviewers.
Continue using the phone how you normally would. I would maybe drain the battery down to 10% once or twice to let the phone have a near full charge cycle and to learn your usage Also make sure High performance mode isn't enabled. It could be draining your battery. Also check that your refresh rate is set to Auto. And lastly, make sure your screen resolution is set to 1080p unless you need it at 1440p. Let me know if this helps
I did drain the battery till shut down right after I charged it to 100% for the first time. And then I charged it to 100% . After that is when I noticed the power drop from 100% to 99%(the first comment is me talking about this particular experience) and I hadn't changed any settings. Then after using it for a while and downloading app, then I changed the settings, I only changed the refresh rate from 60hz to 120hz. I didn't change the resolution or any other settings Edit: I'll still change the refresh rate to auto and see If that works
Same here .am getting just 5 to 6 Hr SOT. With RUclips usage. I have uninstalled a lot of apps as well to avoid battery consumption but I still face the same issue
@@anthonytech I tried draining the battery to 10% and then charging it. This Time I also waited for 2 minutes charging after the phone reached 100% and IT WORKED this time my phone didn't go down to 99% after a few minutes. I'll see if my phone has better battery life now. Though there's a new issue, I just installed a uv screen protector (the one with the glue) and I noticed that when I game, my phone gets hotter then it used to when I didn't have any kind of screen protector. I'm pretty sure that the heat dissipated through the screen and having a screen protector makes it harder for the phone to cool down, though I maybe be wrong on this
Hey man excellent review! I just wanted to give you an example that the icon pull down gesture might be a bit more useful. Some people have icon near the top of the homepage so it could be harder to reach traditionally without the icon pull down gesture.

@@anthonytech great. How would you compare the OP 12 with something like S22 Ultra? Thinking about picking OP 12 but the whole Oxygen OS scares me after coming from POCO F3, the HyperOS is buggy af.
Nice review. It is still hard for me to decide between the S24 Ultra and the OnePlus 12. Do you know of any custom ROMs for the OP12 that are good and will likely provide many years of Android updates?
If you have money go buy Samsung I am using op 12 and it's an amazing device right now only 2 roms are being developed only available for the testers not for normal users .
I don't have experience with flashing other ROMs to phones but I think 4 years of Android and an additional year of security updates is plenty for a phone Most people should be upgrading at the 5 year mark Thanks for watching!
@@iamearthbeing You pay extra for a slightly better camera one ui and ai features apart from that both the devices are pretty much same in performance but op 12 is better in battery backup easy of unlocking and using custom roms/root etc .
OnePlus has a one handed mode but it works quite differently from Samsung On Samsung it makes the entire system into a small window On OnePlus it’s more of an easier reach mode. It brings the top half of the system down to the bottom half of the display
@@anthonytech One hand Operation is different. This is more like edge gestures app seen in playstore with lot of functionality becked in. For me, Quick tools & pop-up widget take the cake.
It depends on how much customization you like to do If you want to customize literally every aspect of your phone, go with Samsung If you want to save quite a bit of money while still getting a powerhouse device with some good customizations and features get the OnePlus
I got the 12r a few weeks ago. Anyone having problems with notifications disappearing before they are opened? Usually it happens when i am using a different app and then close it. I have tried changing so many settings with the apps and battery but yet to find a fix. This is very frustrating to me.
@@anthonytech i have done that for the last several days. Have found threads about the lock screen notifications but not this specific issue. This is not a normal problem then? When you get notifications in the banner they don't disappear until you personally address them?

Was going to get the op12 but finally got what i REALLY wanted. The oppo find x 7 ultra... i cannot wait dhl deliveray says Tomorrow Hey good review, i subscribed
Ever since I got a Garmin smartwatch I've kept my OnePlus 9 Pro in vibrate mode, and even prior to that I rarely used the alert slider. I think its value is overrated
That's a good question, I saw a video from a couple years ago where Gary explains demonstrated how OnePlus was much more aggressive in shutting stuff down in the background than Samsung and some others. But that must have been all the way back with like the OnePlus 9 or 10. Since then, there's now just more RAM. At least in some models, like the 12R has 16 GB of RAM for like a $30 upsell.
Except for thezoom and the curved screen it beats thr s24u hands down I went from a oneplus 9 to a s24 ultra the Sot is 7 hours max not good for the price you pay
Yeah the curved display hasn't been an issue for me I do prefer flat displays like most people do though Definitely ticks a lot of boxes while undercutting other phones in price
finally! a detailed and great review, people should review like this like a normal person instead of just marketing gigs, etc. superb video, keep making more vids like this, we need them.
The only thing that's making me stay away from OnePlus is the cruved display. I had issues with curved display when i has the 7pro. Just not a fan and it makes it seem outdated these days.
Yeah I've seen lots of other people say the say thing I have a video in the works about my experience with OnePlus customer service. That, along with Wi-Fi calling not working on my OP12 anymore has almost swayed me away from OnePlus. Their devices are just not fully certified with all carriers
Speakers on OP12 have better tone but OP12R is louder. It will fill a room and how often do I need to do that. For the price of Apple I could buy two OP and play both at same time 😂😂 double volume and double speakers.
I have s9+ for my needs phone is great it just the battery thats going down fast. Ive been looking for change between s23ultr, one plus 12 , one plus 12r. I need battery and to atleast use it for 4 years
I would say it comes down to what you want to spend and must have features How important are cameras Do you want the super fast charging of OnePlus devices Is the S Pen and Dex a must have
@@anthonytech thanks for the reply. Well i dont use much cameras i suppose to be decent , battery life is most important not interested in spen just whats biggest value to money ratio
Slower charging is always better but I believe the heat produced when fast charging is perfectly okay for phones. The OP12 doesn't get very warm while charging due to the design of the the charging brick If someone is keeping a phone long term then yeah I will always advise slower charging but the trade off is waiting for it to charge haha Most phones nowadays allow charging to stop at 80-90% to prolong battery capacity. It takes way more energy to charge past 85-90%
You scroll up at the edge of the screen and then move your finger on the app you want to launch and release it. I'm using the Oppo Reno 10 pro Plus and I feel right at home watching your video. OnePlus is the Oppo of North America. It's a pity that North America we only know three brands, Google, Samsung, and Apple. I see this phone looking very strange to you. 21:42
13:50 that is because the USB A standard doesn't include more then 5 or maybe 10 watts... USBC on the other hand with Qualcom quick charge and/or power delivery can communicate with the "to be charged device" and agree on higher wattages and most importantly higher voltages keeping the hard to transmit current down ... Back in the day ONEPLUS used their own charging protocol. The gimmick there was that the phone wasn't heating up as much as others, because all the controlling the voltage for the battery happened in the brick... I don't know what the oppo charger does now though. But they ever since they also supported Qualcom quick charge and power delivery... Do your research my dude 😅 still nice video
Hey, i havent watched the entire video, so I'm sorry if you had mentioned it already, but I was wondering- 1. how is the phone holding up since this review? 2. How are the phone updates? 3. How is the physical durability? As I've heard somw people being annoyed with finding good protectors, cases, and ending up with scratches or expensive repairs due to its inherent curved screen Would appreciate if you could answer any of these!🙏
Since my review I've been dailying the phone and it's held up well As far as updates OnePlus has been good. It's only a month behind the Pixel in security updates and I've had two rather major updates since I've had the phone that has made it feel even smoother In terms of physical durability it's been good. I recently peeled off the "protective" film installed from factory and the display feels so much better. The preinstalled film began to attract excessive fingerprints and dust. From what I have seen, you can only get plastic film protection for the display as tempered glass only works on flat panels. I've used the Spigen liquid air case since day one but the frame of the phone is quite scuffed up. I thought this was concerning but upon watching others unbox it, even those had imperfections on the frame.
OnePlus 12 also doesn't come with the charger brick in the box Mine didn't come with one and its box was thinner than in the unboxing videos all over RUclips Even though i got it from an official seller Found that to be a bit weird and disappointing
Did you purchase direct from OnePlus? It's suppose to come with a charger in the box If the box you received was thin and didn't include a charger I would be suspicious if it's a genuine device and if the seller is legitimate
@@anthonytech yeah it's genuine, was told that's how they got it, oneplus seems to not include it in my region ( middle east ), and I heard they are doing the same in South East Asia, but the phone is great so far lol
@@ezail9159 I always find it strange how companies tailor a device to different regions in the world. Nevertheless, glad you're enjoying the phone! Thanks for watching and commenting, it really does help. I thoroughly enjoy this little community of tech nerds that I am building :)
This is the ultras child lol, Google disowned the poor child, Samsung gives you credit when pre-ordering and after launch with perks on device, across brand devices and exclusive access to services. The things you mentioned that are inexplicable the samsung has mastered, there all in line to learn from samsung and this isn't an argument against you, just my insight as we all have these conversations
@@anthonytech I respect your preference, but from a technical standpoint, having to choose between a let's say 600 dollar max storage oneplus and an 800 dollar s24 ultra 1tb(considering trade in- this is what I payed with an s22 ultra) I would hope people know to get the ultra but I respect if they don't, we continue to harp on price, when both phones can be very similar in price with more coming back to you choosing samsung considering the approach
Yup and besides missing charger you are missing bands that is why for most folks it is simpler and smarter to get USA version for use in USA. I think on one carrier the China version does not have 5mmvw wave. If you got that version..you know this stuff already more than likely. Is it the white 1Tb.?
Curved display...no...Camera module looks ugly...We want a flat display and S24ultra like camera module from 0P...Curved display is a matter of past. Touch sensitivity issue is there. Fixing a screen protector is a headache. 100 percent...we can't enjoy the multimedia contents in a curved display. Now a days all most all the premium smartphones r flat. Besides the camera module of OP looks ugly compared to the S24ultra.
@@anthonytech Most reviewers on RUclips are just spec readers. No one provides in-depth reviews from the user's perspective like you do. Great job, keep it going!
I don't use chat bubbles mainly because there's no way to have them enabled but prevent message previews from popping out I wouldn't imagine there's any issues with it working though
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.
Honestly, if you are so uptight about a clock you probably might want to rethink life. That is VERY nit picky. No has mentioned it in reviews because it's not an issue. It's not unreadable.
Imo smaller box better. More eco friendly. Most phones don't have 80w charging just standard pd 3 or something like that so additional charger is not needed
Charger is definitely needed. Electronic devices require it to work. It is not the consumer's responsibility to purchase something that a device requires to work. You are a part of the problem.
It's true that people may not need a charger. But company's should include a charger with flagship phones. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Samsung doesn't include chargers with the latest S series, they haven't for a long time. Yes most phones don't support 80w charging but the OnePlus does. And to my knowledge OnePlus phones are the fastest charging devices you can buy here in the US directly from the company and not have to import. Samsung, Google, and Apple all need faster charging. The OnsPlus charging has fundamentally changed my relationship with a smartphone.
I understand not giving a charger when a company buys in bulk for employees. Nobody's really going to care they didn't get a charger with a company iPhone SE or a cheap android phone. But not putting a charger in the box for a $1300 phone? Now that's a joke.
Ordered one was excited, even still have the case and screen protector but they fucking lost it. Going back and forth with Indians isn't fun when I can't understand them and once they made it official that the parcel was lost, they didn't do anything for my inconvenience. They just asked if I wanted another or refund. They didn't even try to convince me with fast shipping or something (first time buying OP). Never again. They got cool phones but ima stick to my new Sammy S24+
Dang.. that's a real bummer It sucks when customers have a first time experience like that because it usually sways people away from a company, understandably

Any greenline issues?
@@brainworks9102 I haven't hid any issues with greenlining
Hello, i am from Russia and spent a shitload of watching videos on the 12 and the 12R as one of these is going to be my next phone.
I gotta say, you take so many aspects others did not even dream about; the 'stuff inside the box' for example and how you compare it to other brands out there.
Please keep on making such great videos, you have gained yourself a new Subscriber for sure.
One thing I wonder about, not sure if you did mention it, but does it get hot/warm when watching RUclips? Or streaming in general?
All in one, again, a extremely good review. The english you speak also is by worlds more understanable than, for example, the Indian videos. I did not even need subtitles to actually understand something, that's gotta mean something!
Thank you for this gem of a video!
I have the 12, it stays chilly during any regular phone task, streaming is like a walk in the park for it, barely consumes any power while streaming too. The only time it will get hot is when playing genshin impact or some other heavy game at max graphics and fps, to that end you can enable frame generation, which will make genshin for example run at 40 fps and generate frames to make it feel even better than regular 60, while drawing less power which means less heat as well. Not to mention that it cools down super fast once you are done pushing it.
Your comment means a lot to me
Makes my effort totally worth it when I am able to help someone make a decision on a device
The 12 does not get warm/hot at all while watching RUclips or streaming
The 12R is a great device as well
Just here to say my 12 never gets hot, even when charging. If anything it gets slightly warm but it's not just in one spot like all previous phones I've had, it disperses the heat all around so you hardly notice it.
The OP 12 has a Vapour Chamber to handle the heat and claims to be the biggest one compared to any other device and so far I haven't seen any heating issues with mine 😊
U guys have a good battery life cuz for me its allright but not as expected after hearing its got an incredible one
Not getting chargers with mobiles is a joke
Yeah it's lame
Sadly not much we can do because we all pretty much need a phone nowadays
The phrase "vote with your wallet" gets thrown around but people still be buying Samsung, Google, and Apple and none of them have a charging brick in the box
Maybe but most people have had several cell phones and already have chargers that can do the job..... I've got about three that are 3amp
if the charging speed didn't improve with every generation it would be fine, but one of the advertised things is 'hey the new phone charges faster', for which you need the new charger
@@aonodensetsu Exactly! And we want the faster charging and for the prices we pay for the devices we deserve the charging brick included in the box!! Do you know some manufacturers put the bricks in the box when selling to another region but not when selling in the US/North America region because they consider us "suckers" for putting up with it. Unfortunately we don't have as many choices for smartphones that work here either so it has become harder to "speak with our wallets". I bet if we boycotted upgrading one year, magically the big three (Apple, Samsung & Google) would put chargers back in the boxes.
@@stacyanderson1593 i don't know because i live in EU, america is a caricature to me
Random thing I discovered, if you go into developer settings, you can make every animation faster than default and it makes the phone feel even faster.
Oh yes I've known this for a long time
You can set them all to 0.5x
I've found that doing this fan sometimes create slight stutters in the animations though
you must be new to android.
@@DeadPiixxel It didn't feel the same on the S22 I had, this is the first phone I've had that can keep up with the speed.
Coming from a S22+ and can say the same@@ShardstapoRotmg
Another workaround without opening up developer settings might be available through accessibility. You might find option to reduce animation.
The cable can do 100 watt. The 80 watt charger is the max output on 120 volt. Where the wall plug standard is 220-240 you can get the 100 watt. OnePlus chargers are chunky because they put the logic control in the charger, which moves more heat to the charger, and let's the phone have more thermal headroom.
Yeah more manufacturers need to do the same
Yea I was thinking about just buying the 100w charger from the one plus website to get the best possible charging speeds
I still have Oneplus 7 Pro, don’t feel like need to upgrade at all. Screen is amazing, battery is not top notch but it’s okay enough and is charging really fast. Very fast phone in its operation. I use this phone for work a lot for years now. It’s not missing a beat.
That's good to hear that OnePlus is reliable like that
If a device is getting the job done in a timely manner then yeah no real need to upgrade
I don't upgrade my phones because I need to it's more of an enthusiast hobby haha
@@anthonytech Well your in the biz, so you do what ya gotta.
Yes but your moving toward component failure. So consider how many chances you get to 'sell' that phone for 100 dollars. Plus at 5 generations there will be noticeable improvements. Plus your phone has fallen out of security and OS updates. May sound minor but with mobile OS experience is so competitive it gotten better in so many ways over the years and major apps seem to have more issues as while they may keep compatibility to old versions of Android they don't patch bugs or make sure new abilities work with it
The display refresh rate per app is still there. It now includes 60/90/120 not just 60/120 now. Im guessing you missed it.?
I've searched for app specific refresh rate and there's no results
@@anthonytech It's there. You need to switch the phone from adaptive to High refresh rate, and then the option to configure on app level appears. 😊
it can go even down to 1 ...so..
@@ffsolutions9442 Hmmm nice to know! Thank you! Very informative
@@ffsolutions9442 yeah, adaptive does it automatically based on what the app wants, so the option only makes sense when adaptive is off
I can't believe we're paying over $1000 for a flagship but most nowadays are doing just that and people wonder why companies continue to raise their prices and we get lesser and lesser in the box pretty soon there will be no box just a phone delivery in a plastic sleeve and hand you the phone in store when you purchasing. Sam's will slowly upgrade things like charging speed to 60 watts maybe 2 or 3 years from now and charge $100 more 1399.99 s26 ultra
Yeah sadly with how the economy works everything goes up in price
Demand. Other brands are smart and if you're not you will be replaced by the competitor. Products can get out of hand when they're needed and a convenience. Apple done this to this market. Samsung is fair in my opinion giving back to the customer and their product tree is massive and growing. Oneplus is less now, but what do you think will happen once the demand shifts to iphone or galaxy level. This is what we have to monitor. Other brands have several dedicated features and hardware, what does oneplus have. They are a decently priced, acceptable for many alternative for now, not a replacement for true galaxy ultra users. Too many things missing. The list is longer than you think, devices have the ability to provide mobile convenience and satisfaction at the highest level. Cross Compatibility, exclusive features, long term support, and essential function are the standards. Galaxy provides the best option, iphone provides the most popular, pixel provides the stock experience. Who can force their way in without looking like a limited clone.
@@TheMrreese24 Yea I been looking at cheaper flagship that offer more for your money like under $800. Eventually flagships will be for rich and dumb people who keep up with names
@@KgzStylez or people that just want what the working for
I would say One Plus 12 between price and product is shaking up the system you talk about. BTW OP12 rivals or bears the phones you talk about and anyone except fanboys know it. It has the same chip as the Samsung Ultra 24, except Samsung has a custom variant with a slight faster clock...put both phones under load and they both are throttled so they perform about equal on average. I could go in about the technicals but I will not bother. You can buy two OP12 with easily available discounts for the same price as certain flagships and you will get two free chargers and cables to boot. I am curious what the final sales figures are going to look like. We will see...have a good one. Remember you can bootload on OP...not on Samsung cause they take your money and say no.

Hey man, a very thorough review great job maybe the best review I’ve seen of this phone on RUclips .My only complaint or maybe criticism is the background and the view of the phone as you’re reviewing it . your content is really good but your presentation of it … it’s what’s keeping your channel from getting more viewers that part you need to work on.

Hmmm that's intersting
I didn't know that so thanks for sharing
Did it use to be lower on previous OnePlus phones?
@@anthonytech yes and on the right side just above the power button making it super easy to to switch the modes even in your pocket so that u didnt have to pick the phone up
I like it since it's the only thing on the left you won't accidentally press any other buttons.
@@ShardstapoRotmg i never had any issues with that and personally i much prefer to have the volume buttons on the left side of the phone
There are two batteries and they charge in parallel. Only the OnePlus cables works in this mode. Also there is a conversion in the charger that on all other phones happens in the phone. This conversion keeps that extra heat in the charger instead of the phone. That helps preserve the battery. Heat is the enemy of batteries. Keeping that heat in the charger has been happening since the 3t and the double battery started around the 8t.
Buy oneplus cables to use with oneplus chargers.
Yeah my OP12 doesn't get very warm while charging which I really like (excessive heat is bad)
It's a bit of a bummer that you have to use OnePlus charger and cable in order to get the fast charging speeds without all the heat
@@anthonytech put it this way.... It gets the same amount of heat as other phones when hooked up to a standard high output power delivery USB C to USB c charger. It won't be full 80 watts (in the US) but rather half that, which is still faster than almost all phones. So in short, it has better than normal charging abilities with non OnePlus charger+cables, and ABNORMALLY faster+cooler abilities using the right charger+cable. It's a win/win. You CAN use cheaper gear and you CAN choose to reap the extra extra benefits of using their better, though more expensive stuff. You extend the battery life by using their lower heat system AND get a huge speed boost. The battery will last longer due to heat savings AND you will be quicker out the door with a full day's charge by simply charging as you brush your teeth and gather your stuff to leave (a ten or fifteen minute boost charge).
I place my charger centrally in my house and plug in as I walk by sometime when I'm eating. That gives me a full charge, and if I missed a chance to charge, I do that last minute boost charge going out the door and I'll never run out of charge.
I have the earlier OnePlus charger from my 3t days which does the in charger conversion but not double speed parallel battery charging.... But I stopped even using any car charging cuz it simply isn't needed to last the rest of the day. The
OnePlus charging system is a game changer. It's not really a bummer. It can't change physics with non OnePlus gear, but it CAN do doubly clever stuff to give huge benefits. It's good both ways.
I've only fully quick charged about 3 or 4 times using non OnePlus gear, but I plan a little and position my charger wisely to make using their system absolutely painless. And my battery will last longer than other phones simply by the heat savings.
I'm cool with that.
It's a bummerless phone! :-;
It's free, included with the phone @@anthonytech
Wish they made longer cables like 10 ft
@@wote2760 if you have any 10 foot cables, use a program like Ampere to measure how much current us actually getting through. (There are no apps like that for iOS).
I've used that app to check which cables work with which batteries and or chargers. You'll be surprised. Longer cables simply don't have enough metal in them to carry the current. There is a reason a cable that carries two times 50 watts is short.
Since this system charges so incredibly fast you sort of don't need to install yourself somewhere comfortable with a long cable.
Put a simple extension cord near where you charge most and use the OnePlus cables and charge for a very short time. Today I did it when I ate a quick lunch. I was suddenly at 100 percent. Then unplug.
The goal is to get AWAY from having a plugged in phone. Believe me. This OnePlus super quick charging is a way to get freedom from cables.
The app specific refresh rate is under the option to force high refresh rate instead of auto mode! Hope I'll helped 😉
Oh wow! Thank you! I must've overlooked it somehow
Returning my OP12R! Was initially ecstatic over my upgrade, but soon found that it blocks notifications on some apps and no fixes found, only many, many other frustrated people on Reddit. Also drops the network connection making apps just load until wifi mode is clicked off and on again. None of the households other 5 units have any issues with the home wifi. Same at work... Basic function just don't work, all setting tripple checked. Returning to my trusted OP 5T, no issues there, only a crappy camera, which I couldn't care less about.

Did you check Sleep Standby Optimization under power saving settings? It says some notifications will be delayed. I've always had mine turned off.

Strongbox engine 3.0 keeps my confidential data secure and gives me peace of mind. Camera is decent too, works for my purpose.

OnePlus definitely nailed it with the OP12
Currently dailying the Flip6 for my review but once I'm done I'm headed back to the OP12
@anthonytech Do you prefer the Samsung Z Flip 5 or the OnePlus 12?
OnePlus 12 for sure
Better software (my opinion), faster charging, alert slider, more RAM & storage.
The idea behind Europe's push for devices without chargers in the box was that the life expectancy of a charger surpasses the life expectancy of a phone. Including a charger with every device is a waste and unnecessary cost.
I can understand that. Still though it's lame that phone manufacturers are taking away but still charging the same prices.
Are we just going to excuse them when all we get is a device in an "eco friendly" envelope and not even a box anymore?
Where do we draw the line, ya'know?
@@anthonytech I agree, the phones should be cheaper without the brick
Yup, bet the phone manufacturers had lobbiest pushing that story. Do you realize how much they make selling folks chargers and do you think many people are using their old chargers on the new phones? Most old chargers are low wattage too. It is about the $$$$
@@FredFix I'm using my 65W OnePlus USB type C 3 year old charger for my phone, tablet, smartwatch, camera, laptop, bluetooth communication units, ear buds, and headphone. One charger. So, I submit that you're mistaken
@@NMalteCMe too, I'm still using my 65 watt charger, to but Fred is right, rhat MOST chargers are low power outside of the OnePlus world.
Now keep mind the 65 watt charger is a bit of a perfect storm high point for chargers. For example it works fine computers charging at full speed including using on non OnePlus cables. But the new charger for the OnePlus 12 doesn't charge computers at even 65 watts. My wife's computer reports that it is low power. I also ordered the double port OnePlus charger and it isn't working as well using the mix of oneplus cables I've got. OnePlus sort of crossed a line with the new 100 watt chargers (I'm in Europe) they work correctly with OnePlus but might work with other devices, too. The 65 watt seemed to have fewer problems and it just worked.
I appreciate having the chargers and all of the cables, but I don't want to involved my wife in trying to remember which cable to use.for her computer and Samsung phone. So my older 65 watt charger is making our lives easier for us (for her especially). Keep an eye on how the newer charger works for you and hopefully you'll get it to work optimally for you and maybe you will give us some hints on what we might avoid if you find any limitations.

@@levil4012 Oh yes battery life is CRAZY good! I love it S24+ is indeed a good device but OnePlus 12 is killer
Don't you have problems using Bluetooth audio? I find the overall wireless audio quality poor and the codecs extremely unstable, at less than 1 meter the sound degrades and going for a walk down the street with the Wi-Fi activated is a feast of disconnections, clicks and audio interruptions that can be heard in "mono" mode.
The native Raw format is undeniably disastrous, but with Gcam or Open camera it is solved very well although not all cameras work and several parameters have to be configured.
Just leaving one font (roboto) without being able to access or download others also seems regrettable to me. Little personalization.
My 3 biggest issues with this phone.
Dang that sucks
Can't say I've had those issues with my OP12
I agree with your assessment that the software is somwhere in the middle of Pixel stock "boring" UI (which I like) and Samsung's evermore complicated massively customizable OneUI. I'd say OnePlus is closer to Pixel than Samsung. Since when do we need a separate app Goodlock to do customizations in Samsung, just freaking nuts imo... Oxygen OS is not as good as it was in Carl Pei's days @ OnePlus for sure! But it's not bad. Thanks for the thorough review.

Are there bugs? Reddit mentioned quite a lot of em
@@imzelone I haven't experienced many other than global search doesn't always work so I have to swipe to close it, and then search again.
All phones have bugs. Updates and work around fix that. You can bootload with OnePlus and they will show you how. Try that with Samsung for example and they will say no.
You say very early in the video that unless there's specific details on the for example Pixel 8, it would be fair to go for the OP12. The problem is that every Pixel I've had, so the Pixel series in general, has drastic issues with overheating under load, especially in combination with charging. Which in turn worsens the battery performance and even the system performance in general to such a degree that it is nearly unusable. I can't think of a feature Pixel offers that would weigh heavily enough to make up for that.
Everyone's experience with devices can vary widely
I'm not exactly sure the technical reasons as to why that happens but Pixel 8 series and especially Pixel 9 series has received very good reviews
An excellent video, most especially for those of us are planning to move from a basic flip-phone to a smartphone. Most videos are, frankly, intimidating. This one is much more relaxed in tone and tempo in presenting information. Actually showing what a feature does, instead of telling about it is a big advantage. Thank you.

I've had some minor issues but nothing that sways me away from the phone
@@anthonytech do you think I'll notice a big difference camera wise from the S22 Ultra?
I'm not entirely sure
I'm not super into picture taking. If I had to take an educated guess I'd say OP12 cameras are close to S22 Ultra
I heard a reviewer call the Oneplus 12 a Midrange priced phone with Flagship phone features that describes it perfectly.
Edit : There are a variety of cases and skins if you want to customize it
The OnePlus 12 definitely undercuts the competition
I still really love mine
Awesome review. You can use this phone all day and night, and by the time you jump in and out the shower, it's charged. Unbelievable.
Thank you!
Yes I absolutely love it. Right now I've been dailying the Flip6 for my review but I will be going back to the OP12 as soon as I'm done
Hello, I am very interested in this cell phone, but looking at the video I think your personal phone is a Samsung? why? I am very worried about switching to oxygen os
I've been dailying the OnePlus since my unboxing video a few weeks ago
Samsung does have more customization overall, but OxygenOS is a great balance of feeling like near-stock android and incorporating a good amount of customization out of the box
I think most people will really like OxygenOS
@@anthonytechThis phone arguably has more customization because you can root it. You can't root Samsung phones
Oxygen OS is great IMO
@@rowankeltizar5961 It really is. I'd have to say it's my favorite version of android
Exactly! Most people it seems do not understand that. Samsung makes you pay big bucks to own a phone and then tells you that you can not bootload...that ranks right up there with paying $1200 and getting no charger. OnePlus even shows how to do bootload...
I have had Samsung and the more I study One Plus 12...I am impressed. I will have OP 12 or OP13 soon enough.
iqoo 12 please
I’ve heard that’s a good phone but not sure how well it would work in the US in terms of cellular compatibility
Great review ..
Is there any overheating issue ?
No I've not experienced any overheating
Thanks for watching!
I am willing to but op12 in couple of weeks... Should I buy op12 or anyother in the same price range?... Give ur opinion.
OP12 is a great choice
Look into the 12R, you may be perfectly fine with it and save some $$$
Go for 12 i am also using it
I am in your situation and after researching both excellent phones I agree with one reviewer that said the price of the OP 12 is so close in USAbto the OP12R that if you can afford it.. buy the OP12. If you live outside USA than that may change things. Here, you can get a OP12R base 8/128 for near low $300 with student discount stacked with other discounts.
@@FredFix I'm in India... Ordered my op 12. Op 12 is the best mobile out there bro.
which one do you prefer oneplus 12 or Samsung s23+?
Go for oneplus 12 its really amazing. I am using it
I like OxygenOS so OnePlus 12 gets my vote
Been rocking it since I made the initial unboxing
23 plus
..I think one plus mess Their phones up after it updates
I noticed something. It's been 4-5 days since I got my OnePlus 12 512gb and since day one I feel like the battery isn't as long lasting as I thought. I actually saw a video about a guy talking about different features and tips for this phone for 20 minutes and the battery didn't drop from 100%, it started with 100% and at the end it was still at 100%. But my phone after I fully charged it, and after about a few minutes and I wasn't even using the phone, it went down by 1% and I know that's not a huge deal maybe but I did notice this. Did I maybe received a bad unit? Or maybe OnePlus sends different units to the reviewers then what the customers get. But I have noticed that the battery drains a little bit faster then I expected or atleast what I saw from reviewers.
Continue using the phone how you normally would. I would maybe drain the battery down to 10% once or twice to let the phone have a near full charge cycle and to learn your usage
Also make sure High performance mode isn't enabled. It could be draining your battery. Also check that your refresh rate is set to Auto. And lastly, make sure your screen resolution is set to 1080p unless you need it at 1440p.
Let me know if this helps
I did drain the battery till shut down right after I charged it to 100% for the first time. And then I charged it to 100% . After that is when I noticed the power drop from 100% to 99%(the first comment is me talking about this particular experience) and I hadn't changed any settings. Then after using it for a while and downloading app, then I changed the settings, I only changed the refresh rate from 60hz to 120hz. I didn't change the resolution or any other settings
Edit: I'll still change the refresh rate to auto and see If that works
@@amitabhmallick1661 Let me know your screen on time when your battery gets down near 30%
You can find in Settings>Battery
Same here .am getting just 5 to 6 Hr SOT. With RUclips usage. I have uninstalled a lot of apps as well to avoid battery consumption but I still face the same issue
@@anthonytech I tried draining the battery to 10% and then charging it. This Time I also waited for 2 minutes charging after the phone reached 100% and IT WORKED this time my phone didn't go down to 99% after a few minutes. I'll see if my phone has better battery life now. Though there's a new issue, I just installed a uv screen protector (the one with the glue) and I noticed that when I game, my phone gets hotter then it used to when I didn't have any kind of screen protector. I'm pretty sure that the heat dissipated through the screen and having a screen protector makes it harder for the phone to cool down, though I maybe be wrong on this
I found this review very helpful than most other's. Great review
Thank you!
I try to approach my reviews as if I’m talking to a friend about the device
Hey man excellent review! I just wanted to give you an example that the icon pull down gesture might be a bit more useful. Some people have icon near the top of the homepage so it could be harder to reach traditionally without the icon pull down gesture.
Yeah that came to mind as I've continued to use the OnePlus.
Thanks for the kind words!
It means a lot
Do you have any idea if the 80w supervooc charges at this rate?
I can't fully verify as I have not measured the wattage
It does charge very fast though, I was able to go from 2-100% in 34 minutes
My stock charger gets to full charge in under 30 min +/- 10.
I have a iPhone 13 Pro Max and making the switch to either one plus 12 or s24 what do u recommend
If the prices are similar I would say OnePlus 12
If you want an absolute plethora of customizations then Galaxy is the way to go
21:38 this is for people with smaller hands who can now more easily reach apps on the other side of the screen
I guess that makes sense
Glad it's there at least
What phone is in your right side next to oneplus?
Galaxy Z Flip5
Thankyou :)
excellent review have u had any bugs yet
Actually going to make a video today regarding that topic

What screen protector do you use?
It's actually a protective film preinstalled by OnePlus
Probably not as good as a true screen protector but it's at least something
@@anthonytech yeah that is true, it looks to be a problem to get a decent 1 for this phone it’s about time with the technology we have they could make better curved screen protectors
@@Antsummerfield83 Yeah… I guess that’s a bit of a negative for the OP12
Great review, Anthony. Subbed!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting
I love chatting with viewers
@@anthonytech great. How would you compare the OP 12 with something like S22 Ultra? Thinking about picking OP 12 but the whole Oxygen OS scares me after coming from POCO F3, the HyperOS is buggy af.
I would really appreciate if u can put timestamps of topics
I can definitely do that!
Nice review. It is still hard for me to decide between the S24 Ultra and the OnePlus 12. Do you know of any custom ROMs for the OP12 that are good and will likely provide many years of Android updates?
If you have money go buy Samsung I am using op 12 and it's an amazing device right now only 2 roms are being developed only available for the testers not for normal users .
I don't have experience with flashing other ROMs to phones but I think 4 years of Android and an additional year of security updates is plenty for a phone
Most people should be upgrading at the 5 year mark
Thanks for watching!
@@debsattam1 : So apart from price point, s24u is better than op12? Or is there anything else?
@@iamearthbeing You pay extra for a slightly better camera one ui and ai features apart from that both the devices are pretty much same in performance but op 12 is better in battery backup easy of unlocking and using custom roms/root etc .
@@debsattam1 : Battery and camera is what i look out for...software comes later for me.
So far they say, battery is one plus 12
And camera is s24U
😂.
Does it have anything equivalent to Samsung One Hand Operation+ ?
OnePlus has a one handed mode but it works quite differently from Samsung
On Samsung it makes the entire system into a small window
On OnePlus it’s more of an easier reach mode. It brings the top half of the system down to the bottom half of the display
@@anthonytech One hand Operation is different.
This is more like edge gestures app seen in playstore with lot of functionality becked in. For me, Quick tools & pop-up widget take the cake.
What better s23U vs OP12??
It depends on how much customization you like to do
If you want to customize literally every aspect of your phone, go with Samsung
If you want to save quite a bit of money while still getting a powerhouse device with some good customizations and features get the OnePlus
I got the 12r a few weeks ago. Anyone having problems with notifications disappearing before they are opened? Usually it happens when i am using a different app and then close it. I have tried changing so many settings with the apps and battery but yet to find a fix. This is very frustrating to me.
Dang that's a real bummer
Sounds like you've tried a lot already
Maybe try searching for a reditt thread on it
Let me know if you figure it out
@@anthonytech i have done that for the last several days. Have found threads about the lock screen notifications but not this specific issue. This is not a normal problem then? When you get notifications in the banner they don't disappear until you personally address them?
@@bobbiejokulekcioglu6438 I don't use the banners, personally, for privacy reasons. That way if anyone is staring at my phone they won't see my notifs
Is that what your issue is, is with the notification banners?
Are there bugs? Theres quite a few of them reporting on reddit...
And the notification
I've not had any issues other than global search sometimes doesn't work and I have to swipe to exit and then search again
All phones have glitches. Updates and people like you notice and fix them. OP allows bootload..try that with Samsung lol.
Was going to get the op12 but finally got what i REALLY wanted. The oppo find x 7 ultra... i cannot wait dhl deliveray says Tomorrow
Hey good review, i subscribed
That's a very nice device too
Will it work on your carrier?
@@anthonytech yeah bands work on TMO
@@jerradmechals1 Niceee
Did you get the phone today?
How is it?
@@jerradmechals1 so how do you like the phone and a question? How did you get it? Which online website did you buy it from?
@@anthonytech no I didn't get it yesterday unfortunately. I ordered it from Giztop... It says it will be here either today or Monday
Ever since I got a Garmin smartwatch I've kept my OnePlus 9 Pro in vibrate mode, and even prior to that I rarely used the alert slider. I think its value is overrated
That’s a strange bug for sure
OnePlus 12 is a killer device though
I plan to do a follow video on it soon
@@anthonytech that's not a bug m I amended my comment
What phone case do you have?
Spigen Liquid Air
Why doesn't anyone say anything about the size of the device? It's just big, thick, heavy. Nobody talks about it. Why not?
Because it's really not heavy
Sure, maybe it's big but I wouldn't say thick
iPhone 15 Pro Max is much more heavy and thicker than OnePlus 12
Nice review! 👍
Thanks bro
Glad you liked it!
I really like the OnePlus 12
Hi does it still aggressively close down or refresh background apps please?
I'm not 100% sure but I do know it keeps apps open in RAM very well and battery life is superb
That's a good question, I saw a video from a couple years ago where Gary explains demonstrated how OnePlus was much more aggressive in shutting stuff down in the background than Samsung and some others.
But that must have been all the way back with like the OnePlus 9 or 10. Since then, there's now just more RAM. At least in some models, like the 12R has 16 GB of RAM for like a $30 upsell.
Great video. Watching from New Zealand
Thank you so much for watching!
New Zealand?! That's so cool!
Hope you are doing well
Except for thezoom and the curved screen it beats thr s24u hands down
I went from a oneplus 9 to a s24 ultra the Sot is 7 hours max not good for the price you pay
Yeah the curved display hasn't been an issue for me
I do prefer flat displays like most people do though
Definitely ticks a lot of boxes while undercutting other phones in price
Curved is actually better. You install UV glass and it's safe. Can't count the times that I dropped my OP7PRO for the last 4 years.
@zbyslaw50000 my last oneplus was the 9 it was perfect 👌
: Except for the curved screen n zoom, op12 is better than s24u then?
@@iamearthbeing battery rocks. Crucial for me.
finally! a detailed and great review, people should review like this like a normal person instead of just marketing gigs, etc. superb video, keep making more vids like this, we need them.
Thank you for such a nice comment
I do this for people like you, the ones who appreciate it and take the time to comment
Makes it all worth it 💯
The only thing that's making me stay away from OnePlus is the cruved display. I had issues with curved display when i has the 7pro. Just not a fan and it makes it seem outdated these days.
Yeah I've seen lots of other people say the say thing
I have a video in the works about my experience with OnePlus customer service. That, along with Wi-Fi calling not working on my OP12 anymore has almost swayed me away from OnePlus. Their devices are just not fully certified with all carriers
longer port on top is the speaker out.
Oohh snap! Yeah I didn't know what it was. Does that mean the OP12 has 3 speakers?
Thanks!
@@anthonytech Probably just the earpiece firing front and top
Yup and it works great. The 12 sounds better in times but the 12R registers louder.
12 has better tones....12r is louder in tests but 12 is plenty loud.
I wonder how many phones you have used to think the speakers are the best on that phone
iPhone 13
ZFlip 5
Pixel 7
Just to name a few
They are very good speakers
Watch other reviews if you doubt what I say
Best in class speaker is the iPhone 14 Pro Max/iphone 15 pro max. You just gotta listen to them to know that.
Speakers on OP12 have better tone but OP12R is louder. It will fill a room and how often do I need to do that. For the price of Apple I could buy two OP and play both at same time 😂😂 double volume and double speakers.
I have s9+ for my needs phone is great it just the battery thats going down fast. Ive been looking for change between s23ultr, one plus 12 , one plus 12r.
I need battery and to atleast use it for 4 years
I would say it comes down to what you want to spend and must have features
How important are cameras
Do you want the super fast charging of OnePlus devices
Is the S Pen and Dex a must have
@@anthonytech thanks for the reply. Well i dont use much cameras i suppose to be decent , battery life is most important not interested in spen just whats biggest value to money ratio
@@steffot8468 OnePlus 12R sounds right up your alley. Unless you would like the better cameras of the standard 12, which is quite a bit more money
@@anthonytech thanks mate ive also think like that is just that ive seen some reddit posts that its overheating maybe is rsndom , u have new sub :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊
Thank you for your kind words
You're the type of viewer I want on my channel 😁
Does it matter if i get the OP12 with 12GB or 16GB of ram?
It won't really make a difference to performance
12GB is still plenty of RAM
You can also set memory as RAM up to +12 gb
Isnt fast charging bad for the phone? The faster, the worse
Slower charging is always better but I believe the heat produced when fast charging is perfectly okay for phones.
The OP12 doesn't get very warm while charging due to the design of the the charging brick
If someone is keeping a phone long term then yeah I will always advise slower charging but the trade off is waiting for it to charge haha
Most phones nowadays allow charging to stop at 80-90% to prolong battery capacity. It takes way more energy to charge past 85-90%
You scroll up at the edge of the screen and then move your finger on the app you want to launch and release it. I'm using the Oppo Reno 10 pro Plus and I feel right at home watching your video. OnePlus is the Oppo of North America. It's a pity that North America we only know three brands, Google, Samsung, and Apple. I see this phone looking very strange to you. 21:42
I really like the OnePlus 12
Super smooth and ticks all the boxes I want in a phone
13:50 that is because the USB A standard doesn't include more then 5 or maybe 10 watts... USBC on the other hand with Qualcom quick charge and/or power delivery can communicate with the "to be charged device" and agree on higher wattages and most importantly higher voltages keeping the hard to transmit current down ... Back in the day ONEPLUS used their own charging protocol. The gimmick there was that the phone wasn't heating up as much as others, because all the controlling the voltage for the battery happened in the brick... I don't know what the oppo charger does now though. But they ever since they also supported Qualcom quick charge and power delivery... Do your research my dude 😅 still nice video
Plenty of other reviewers don't know that info as well
Good to know though
Hey, i havent watched the entire video, so I'm sorry if you had mentioned it already, but I was wondering-
1. how is the phone holding up since this review?
2. How are the phone updates?
3. How is the physical durability? As I've heard somw people being annoyed with finding good protectors, cases, and ending up with scratches or expensive repairs due to its inherent curved screen
Would appreciate if you could answer any of these!🙏
Since my review I've been dailying the phone and it's held up well
As far as updates OnePlus has been good. It's only a month behind the Pixel in security updates and I've had two rather major updates since I've had the phone that has made it feel even smoother
In terms of physical durability it's been good. I recently peeled off the "protective" film installed from factory and the display feels so much better. The preinstalled film began to attract excessive fingerprints and dust.
From what I have seen, you can only get plastic film protection for the display as tempered glass only works on flat panels.
I've used the Spigen liquid air case since day one but the frame of the phone is quite scuffed up. I thought this was concerning but upon watching others unbox it, even those had imperfections on the frame.
OnePlus 12 also doesn't come with the charger brick in the box
Mine didn't come with one and its box was thinner than in the unboxing videos all over RUclips
Even though i got it from an official seller
Found that to be a bit weird and disappointing
Did you purchase direct from OnePlus?
It's suppose to come with a charger in the box
If the box you received was thin and didn't include a charger I would be suspicious if it's a genuine device and if the seller is legitimate
@@anthonytech yeah it's genuine, was told that's how they got it, oneplus seems to not include it in my region ( middle east ), and I heard they are doing the same in South East Asia, but the phone is great so far lol
@@ezail9159 I always find it strange how companies tailor a device to different regions in the world. Nevertheless, glad you're enjoying the phone!
Thanks for watching and commenting, it really does help. I thoroughly enjoy this little community of tech nerds that I am building :)
The charger is 100w btw the one in the box
I swear it only charges at 80w in the US
Is there a way to confirm?
Que serie es ese teléfono que viene con funda ?
Hay algunas empresas que incluyen una funda en la caja de sus dispositivos pero, sinceramente, no es una funda en la que confiaría
This is the ultras child lol, Google disowned the poor child, Samsung gives you credit when pre-ordering and after launch with perks on device, across brand devices and exclusive access to services. The things you mentioned that are inexplicable the samsung has mastered, there all in line to learn from samsung and this isn't an argument against you, just my insight as we all have these conversations
I think for the asking price of the OnePlus 12 it gets very close to phones that are $300 to $500 more expensive
@@anthonytech I respect your preference, but from a technical standpoint, having to choose between a let's say 600 dollar max storage oneplus and an 800 dollar s24 ultra 1tb(considering trade in- this is what I payed with an s22 ultra) I would hope people know to get the ultra but I respect if they don't, we continue to harp on price, when both phones can be very similar in price with more coming back to you choosing samsung considering the approach
There is made in china version came without charger. Same slim box .
I thought they all came with a charger?
Yup and besides missing charger you are missing bands that is why for most folks it is simpler and smarter to get USA version for use in USA. I think on one carrier the China version does not have 5mmvw wave. If you got that version..you know this stuff already more than likely. Is it the white 1Tb.?
Samsung AI = software.
Same thing is RTX GPU DLSS.
The term "AI" is so thrown around it's difficult to know what it truly means
Companies are turning it into a big marketing buzz word
Curved display...no...Camera module looks ugly...We want a flat display and S24ultra like camera module from 0P...Curved display is a matter of past. Touch sensitivity issue is there. Fixing a screen protector is a headache. 100 percent...we can't enjoy the multimedia contents in a curved display. Now a days all most all the premium smartphones r flat. Besides the camera module of OP looks ugly compared to the S24ultra.
Yeahh S24 series does look better
Hoping for a flat panel on OnePlus 13
I’ll be reviewing it
I would've loved if this video had timestamps, so I can go right in what topic I'm interested on, and not watching the 40 minute video
Yeah I understand it's a long video
But that's how I wanted to present it
As if I were just talking to a friend and discussing the phone
In Europe all phones have to be PD 4.0 or better by 2027 no more e super vooc
: All tick for me but its the curved screen... That is the ONLY reason to not buy this device.
Still 1+3t user 🙌.
Yeah I get that
Some people despise curved displays and others prefer them
Heard bad on finger print scanner
It works perfectly fine
I've had no issues
If you have a dirty finger lol. Leaks on the OP13 say a change is coming in the finger scanner tech for more dirty finger etc reliable detection.
This is the real review
I tried my best! Thank you!

Hows the chat bubbles/heads on messenger?
I don't use chat bubbles mainly because there's no way to have them enabled but prevent message previews from popping out
I wouldn't imagine there's any issues with it working though
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.
Honestly, if you are so uptight about a clock you probably might want to rethink life. That is VERY nit picky. No has mentioned it in reviews because it's not an issue.
It's not unreadable.

Boring review. Just trying to knitpick things jist foe the heck of it.
You clearly didn't watch it or only heard the parts you wanted to hear
Imo smaller box better. More eco friendly. Most phones don't have 80w charging just standard pd 3 or something like that so additional charger is not needed
Charger is definitely needed. Electronic devices require it to work. It is not the consumer's responsibility to purchase something that a device requires to work. You are a part of the problem.
@@mjjones1045 I don't need charger with every phone? I have like 10 spare chargers at home. Another one is just garbage that I pay for
It's true that people may not need a charger. But company's should include a charger with flagship phones.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Samsung doesn't include chargers with the latest S series, they haven't for a long time.
Yes most phones don't support 80w charging but the OnePlus does. And to my knowledge OnePlus phones are the fastest charging devices you can buy here in the US directly from the company and not have to import.
Samsung, Google, and Apple all need faster charging. The OnsPlus charging has fundamentally changed my relationship with a smartphone.
He's probably Indian too @@mjjones1045
I understand not giving a charger when a company buys in bulk for employees. Nobody's really going to care they didn't get a charger with a company iPhone SE or a cheap android phone. But not putting a charger in the box for a $1300 phone? Now that's a joke.
Good work..... try .... wow... icon from the play store
Thank you!
Ordered one was excited, even still have the case and screen protector but they fucking lost it. Going back and forth with Indians isn't fun when I can't understand them and once they made it official that the parcel was lost, they didn't do anything for my inconvenience. They just asked if I wanted another or refund. They didn't even try to convince me with fast shipping or something (first time buying OP). Never again. They got cool phones but ima stick to my new Sammy S24+
Dang.. that's a real bummer
It sucks when customers have a first time experience like that because it usually sways people away from a company, understandably
S24 plus is amazing
@renaldofriloux495 I wouldn't say amazing but I like it a lot more than my previous S22. That one sucked so much.
