OnePlus fixed the first phone and returned with the screen flickering (eventually went away) and now they can't find my 10 pro although the tracking shows received, it's been two weeks and they are still "investigating".
@iMax1975 Still haven't got it back. Just got an email today that they can't repair it because they don't have the parts and offered a 12R, which is not a flagship and has way lower resolution than my 10 Pro.
I got mine like a month ago, 512GB version. It's absolutely briliant in every way. Amazing camera, superb performance, 100W charger in the box and no nonsense AI that competition offers are the main best things here. I upgraded from that horrible Exynos S22 Ultra, and I'm probably never again picking up Samsung.

My oneplus 8 pro with IP68 resistance and 12GB RAM is still going strong since 2020. The only thing that's aged is the camera but it's still a fantastic phone. I also bought the oneplus nord 2t which had better cameras and a faster chipset but not as good overall package. There's no need to spend over £1000 for a new phone buy an old flagship..
I actually agree with you. I've had all the phones you have mentioned except for the iPhone 16.....and I have to say you're right about this. The only thing I didn't care for is the curved display.
Same here...I have had the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the OnePlus 12 (512gb/16gb variant) and now have the Pixel 9 Pro XL...and the ONLY thing I didn't like was the curved screen on the OnePlus 12.
i bought a OnePlus Nord in 2021, and it was a very nice phone, my first experience with an amoled 90hz display, nice camera with ois. This year i got the op12, ive been using it since march and it's amazing, is not easy to reach its limits, with battery life, cameras, display and audio! if i can suggest something i would say to log in the oneplus community, is nice to have a place for official announcements, thoughts and ideas about OnePlus products
Im so Happy, that oneplus ist back on track again! :) My last two Smartphones where the 6t and 9pro and now i have the 12r since a week and i absolutely love it!!❤❤❤
OnePlus flagship must follow its cousin's take on screen design. quad curved for comfortable handling but flat display/panel for better viewing experience. talking about the Oppo Reno 12 Pro. to me, the Reno 12 Pro is the best screen design. not too curved yet panel is flat.
@@NVidiero Curved Screen makes viewing experience for videos, nightmare for screen Guards, mostly covers affect the screen guard even if you take care, it breaks easily if fallen..less screen real estate vs Flat screen..
This is my daily phone, green one. And i admit that i've had many oneplus phones before. Wish it was flat screen, saying that I've used Xiaomi 14 for 3 months before this one and it was great as well, I'm not a great fan of curved display tbh. Good video btw.
Fair game but I think they went downhill with the whole OS/UI change - totally unnecessary when OxygenOS was literally the cleanest and fastest Android skin around.
I have had a terrible experience using Oneplus phones, my last Oneplus phone was a 6T and there was so much wrong with that phone i don't think i would ever go back to Oneplus anytime soon but it's good to see that they are doing well and maybe one day i can try them out again
In the first 3 seconds I knew it was a no for me, the curved screen kills it It's got to have something special if I'm going to endure something other than flat glass the only phone I'd do that for is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
@@marshallstacy6243I agree with him tho, curved screens are the worst. Try using it without any case and you always have these annoying touches on the edges which after a while becomes really, really annoying.
I moved to a OnePlus 12 to replace my Pixel 7 Pro. I'm very happy. I could have waited for the OnePlus 13, but I got a fantastic deal for the 16GB/512GB(sub 800 USD new). I do get a lot of compliments on the camera array alone.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is awesome and it is on sale on Samsung online today. The iPhone 16ProMax is awesome too. I own these two. iPhone 16ProMax + Galaxy S24 Ultra= ❤ I don’t purchase things from RUclips channel links.
I had an Oppo x5 pro a year ago just to see what it was like and I totally agree the OnePlus-oppo phones are really underrated. Low light camera performance isn't the best and the software is a little buggy compared to efforts from Samsung etc but I really miss that phone, it was very refreshing.
@@theryanthomasX8 series being announced next month in China first. Global availability will follow as Oppo settled the patent dispute with Nokia which was stopping them selling their phones globally.
Had the OP12 for a while and dropped it for the Xiaomi 14... No Curved Screen, perfekt Size... Best phone I've ever used.... And no I'm not an Fanboy... Just give it a try you'll not regret it
Love your review. I'm already liking this phone. Specially for the fact that it's almost similar to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL, Apple's latest iPhone 16
it's very rare for me to watch a review that makes me really want to buy a product, specially phones cause I've been a loyal Samsung customer for nearly 13 years now but the way you showcased the positives & negatives of this phone is making me have a very serious thoughts about it, thank you for that video!
I would love a flat Display with 19:9 Aspect Ratio, that is the only reason why I got my S24 Ultra. I don't like the tall 20:9 ratio of Pixel 9. 19.5 is also ok.
From me being a Samsung guy (S5, S7 Edge, A70, S21 Ultra, Z Fold 4) to my first OnePlus (OnePlus 12 with the 16/512 model) im a guy that loves tech and love to try new stuff from time to time. I saw couple of your vids with the Phone and other reviews before getting it and honestly with the price comparaison that i did for my own fun (living in Montreal) for the price of the OnePlus 12 with a case and the 100W charger, i wasn't sure at first knowing i got the Global version compared to the NA (Besides the including charger on the NA version and no charger on the Global, still end up the same price i just thought way too far lol) this phone is just amazing for what you get a that price. Me being used with my S21 Ultra (That im still using time to time) the curve for me is no issue, no accidental touch and imo (yes imo) it feels just... better from time to time. From the insane Battery and charging speed, amazing performance with that SD 8 Gen 3 (Honestly i don't see why i should have the Gen 4 if everything is just easily playable smoothly on the 12 with the Gen 3) the beautiful 120hz screen (I got flashbanged at first totally not knowing how bright it can go compared to the phones i had) and the beautiful emerald color (Got and Spigen clear case to showcase that beauty color) its just too good for the price. Camera wise i know some reviews mention that the S24 and Iphone takes the cake and it might, and lemme tell you. I do take pictures when i feel like it (Maybe too much honestly lol) and i still consider the Camera pretty good for how much i paid the phone. Heck, some pictures i took with this phone, if i wouldve used the Z Fold i wouldve struggled. (Dunno if its the app of the camera or just ui or just me having pure skill issue with samsung cameras but somehow i took some amazing pictures already with the OnePlus and im hella not dissapointed) All that to, this phone from me being a Samsung and will always love Samsung phones, the OnePlus 12 for a first time buyer of OnePlus. Its easily the Best phone you can get at an amazing price.
Yes it’s still ranking high in the Android world. I just sold my S24 Ultra today and put my sim into my black 512GB OP12. Great device and awesome video buddy. Keep pressing on. 👊🏽👏🏽💯
It's clear you surely do not own an S24 ultra. If you did, you would know the cameras are not the best. Nowhere near the best cameras on an Android phone. Come on bro be reasonable With your comments.@harshupadhayay5520
For all who say it's a downgrade, I know but unless you use every single feature of these devices, you don't really miss it. I have multiple devices anyway so I am not as affected as you guys are by my sale. If it's any comfort to you guys, I did get a phenomenal price so I'm a happy camper 😁😁
I really really love my OnePlus 7 pro, it's my favourite phone I've had and I've had it more than 5 years now. I would love to replace it with another OnePlus phone, but I refuse to buy another phone with a curved display. There is literally not a single pro in my opinion. Soon as they ditch that, it will be top of my consideration. Good video!
I agree. My first OnePlus phone since the One, and the second best value ive ever gotten out of a phone. Ditched my Pixel 8, S21 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro... And I've never been happier... Except when I had my OnePlus One
I purchased a OnePlus7T Pro, with the retractable camera, several years ago. Even though, at the time I had a samsung Note 9 and was closer to purchasing a newer Samsung than ever before. I still bought it due to how insanely sharp the price had dropped and it was a limited edition Mclaren version. To this day, easily one of the best phones I have ever had. I own the Z Flip 6 now and also purchased the Z Flip 3 to start the flip journey of mine but as a full fledged phone it is insanely good at EVERYTHING. The screen, Cameras, Gaming, Socials, RAM capacity etc, everything has held up and I still use it as my personal phone on the side. I may not use it for 6 months out of the year but when I do, it's just as amazing as it was the day I had purchased it. OnePlus reallyy does great, especially on the older devices since after the updates they are so much faster and reliable. On the other hand, I can't upgrade it anymore and it has been taken off the official site for updates which is one setback, but I am now looking into the CMF brand which I feel like will be much much larger and more customer focused with Carl Pei as the CEO.
I have my OP7 for 5 years now and it is only now starting to show signs of giving up! amazing device. I really wanted my new device to also be OP but they are just too big for my liking, so I snagged the Pixel 8 for 400 USD in the prime day sale. If OP ever make a smaller phone, it'll prolly be my next device.
I was going to buy the 12R, but didn't want a curved screen. Other option was the Realme GT6, but... same issue. Ended up with a more costly S24, but I don't regret the choice.
You wouldn't had regretted it if you bought the 12R too. I have the 9 Pro and the curve is so subtle you wouldn't notice. It gives the phone a premium look but at the same time it doesn't compromise the ergonomics
I use OP12 for 6 months now and I am very impressed wat gem it is for it's money. All it's perfect performance ways the camera is not the best but it's very close to iPhones and S24+ and Ultra for the fraction of the money.
just subscribed my brother, earned a fan from kenya. great content and soothing voice, prefer the laid back converstaional energy and someone who reviews phones other than the usual iphone and samsung ecosphere . So thanks for that.
Great video Ryan. I have never seen any of your videos and I am as phone geeky as they come. I am super glad I found your channel. I am a new subscriber and keep up the great content mate
Definitely the most.. complete/best value phone in 2024 (that most haven't heard of sadly). Fast charging, big battery, slick software, great cameras, actually comfortable in the hand and basically an 8 or 9 out of 10 in every factor. The 24 Ultra only beats it in 2 (slightly) noticeable areas for me, which is the anti-reflective screen and just a touch on zoom photos. The pre-applied screen protector and fast charger in the box is very important to me and I tried the Aramid Fiber case this year and it's beautiful! Always used the Sandstone case before but really impressed with this one. I hope they stick to a similar formula with the 13 and just implement the bigger Glacier battery, usual camera harware updates with an increased optical zoom and (I don't think they will but) an anti-reflection screen and protector pre-applied. Too many just rely on BS AI features that you only use every now and then, rather than improving the actual hardware. A smaller variant akin to the Pixel 9 Pro would be awesome too with the 13 but we'll see. OnePlus 12 for the win in 2024!
Agreed Ryan the OP12 is a great device. Aside from the Open it's the OEMs best device to date. It's a joy to use and the fluidity is something else. If only OP made a smaller version as the ergonomics are too much for me. Great content Dude keep the good stuff coming!
I have a OnePlus 8 pro. It's my 2nd OnePlus device, my first being the OnePlus 7T. I love my phone but there are some obvious things that are making me say I gotta upgrade. The one biggest issue I'm having is that curved display, almost anytime I'm typing, my hands get caught on the edges and then accidentally send the message/comment before I can finish writing it. This is technically my fault as I bought a case with lower sides, but still not a great design for me. One of the other things is the battery life. It's fine, I guess, but I do need some more than what I currently got to get a full days usage out of my device. Out of all the OLED devices I've owned, this is the first to get burn in and it's really bad, now this is really just a me problem because when I bought the phone a few years back, it wasn't even there, but again that's one thing making me want to upgrade. The OP 12 would be the perfect device if it was smaller, and had flat edges, it would be my ideal phone, however unfortunately that isn't reality, I still do want the 12 though as it's really my best option, you made a point against AI and I completely agree with you on that.
I own a Oneplus 12 as my main phone and it is indeed a great phone but I will say a few things that I think need work for future devices. Firstly the obvious which is the curved display, but also the sheer size. Onepluses refusal to make a single reasonably sized phone is disappointing. My other issue is the cameras, while they are good at times, the main lens is noticeably worse than the telephoto which was a strange choice. It also has a very strange issue when there are multiple faces in a shot. Almost always it will make one of the faces sharp and the others soft or slightly out of focus especially if the are not at the same level or depth, which can be irritating. Also I havn't been too impressed with the front camera in general as it also suffers from this issue and the colour science is also off on this sensor compared to the rear sensors, the lack of 4K60 is also unnecessary. I also feel like OxygenOS could use some more polish in places and options like lock screen customization are lacking. They have nailed the pricing, battery and charging though, its easily the best value of any flagship out there.
Hi are you also experiencing a loud rattling noise near cameras.??(Specially when you shake it a lil) please let me know as my OP12 is making this sound and it's quite irritating...!!
I love the colors of the camera, i really am not a fan of the unnatural contrast and saturation I'm other phones' cameras, for me the more natural, the better, which it seems like this oneplus achieves, especially the color of the sky at sunset you showed. The only thing I really dislike is the curved screen
Mine gets here in a couple of days and I’m really stoked to try it out. I honestly didn’t like the Pixel 9 and sent it back. I’m like you - I like the curved edge design and don’t need all the AI gimmicks. I just want a good quality Android phone with great battery life and camera. The value is impossible to ignore. I’m just not willing to spend $1100+ on a phone anymore!
The best bang for my buck where I live is probably the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, I got one for only 899 Eur with the Photography Kit so the phone alone was technically 700 Eur (Photography Kit retail price is 200 Eur). One of the best if not the best phone for both camera enthusiasts and gamers/emulator fans. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 so it runs basically everything, 90W charging, fake leather back, the UI is the cleanest I've seen (I've used both iOS and Samsung's OS in the past) and it's THE camera phone of 2024, the Photography is a game changer for me with its tactile controls that make you feel like you are holding and using an actual camera. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's perfect for those that love the style, the Photography Kit and don't want any AI stuff on their phone but still want to have a smooth user experience and UI.

@iMax1975 Still haven't got it back. Just got an email today that they can't repair it because they don't have the parts and offered a 12R, which is not a flagship and has way lower resolution than my 10 Pro.
I got mine like a month ago, 512GB version. It's absolutely briliant in every way. Amazing camera, superb performance, 100W charger in the box and no nonsense AI that competition offers are the main best things here. I upgraded from that horrible Exynos S22 Ultra, and I'm probably never again picking up Samsung.
The OnePlus 12 is definitely a very solid phone. If it wasn't for the spen, I'd be a OnePlus 12 owner.
S pen is really nice tbf
@@theryanthomas It is. But OnePlus has similar specs for cheaper.
@@Peterstarzynskitech I have an S24 Ultra and have not been able to find any use of the spen. What do you do with it?
@adnan7698 camera remote control for selfies. Write info at my job with it (sometimes need to sketch something and it makes it easy). Editing photos or whatever that needs precision is a completely different experience with the spen.
yes I agree,I had the s23 ultra and never used the pen, the vast majority of people who have the s23 /24 ultra don't use the pen,like AI it's a gimmick.
I now have the oneplus 12 and the pixel 8 pro, loving the oneplus 12.
I just wish they switched back to flat panels... My OnePlus 7T was great.
And the pop up camera
Absolutely agree . I have the 11 and protecting the screen is a bitch . And it scratches easily 🤬🤬🤬
Loved it. Still have it as my second phone
@@discocat2500 i still have the 7 pro ... It's curved but an awesome phone , with its motorized selfie camera and one of the best displays I've ever used . 🔥👍
Yes! That's the only thing I didn't like about the OnePlus 12 I had.
My oneplus 8 pro with IP68 resistance and 12GB RAM is still going strong since 2020. The only thing that's aged is the camera but it's still a fantastic phone. I also bought the oneplus nord 2t which had better cameras and a faster chipset but not as good overall package. There's no need to spend over £1000 for a new phone buy an old flagship..
I have no clue why they got rid of the IP-rating :(
I actually agree with you. I've had all the phones you have mentioned except for the iPhone 16.....and I have to say you're right about this. The only thing I didn't care for is the curved display.
Same here...I have had the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the OnePlus 12 (512gb/16gb variant) and now have the Pixel 9 Pro XL...and the ONLY thing I didn't like was the curved screen on the OnePlus 12.
i bought a OnePlus Nord in 2021, and it was a very nice phone, my first experience with an amoled 90hz display, nice camera with ois. This year i got the op12, ive been using it since march and it's amazing, is not easy to reach its limits, with battery life, cameras, display and audio!
if i can suggest something i would say to log in the oneplus community, is nice to have a place for official announcements, thoughts and ideas about OnePlus products
And OnePlus 12 have a 24GB RAM 1 Terabyte version. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑
Im so Happy, that oneplus ist back on track again! :)
My last two Smartphones where the 6t and 9pro and now i have the 12r since a week and i absolutely love it!!❤❤❤
OnePlus flagship must follow its cousin's take on screen design. quad curved for comfortable handling but flat display/panel for better viewing experience. talking about the Oppo Reno 12 Pro. to me, the Reno 12 Pro is the best screen design. not too curved yet panel is flat.
Watching it on my OnePlus nord 3,OnePlus truly makes some great phones.The best phone I have ever used
I just want a bloody Flat Screen !!!!
Exactly flat screen! No more curved display gimmick.
Dont know why... the actual is really nice screen tbh
@@NVidiero I agree with you a 100%. The screen is great. I just want this to be flat…. The same screen.
@@sauravverma ok, but why? What is the reason?
@@NVidiero Curved Screen makes viewing experience for videos, nightmare for screen Guards, mostly covers affect the screen guard even if you take care, it breaks easily if fallen..less screen real estate vs Flat screen..
This is my daily phone, green one. And i admit that i've had many oneplus phones before. Wish it was flat screen, saying that I've used Xiaomi 14 for 3 months before this one and it was great as well, I'm not a great fan of curved display tbh. Good video btw.
Fair game but I think they went downhill with the whole OS/UI change - totally unnecessary when OxygenOS was literally the cleanest and fastest Android skin around.
I have had a terrible experience using Oneplus phones, my last Oneplus phone was a 6T and there was so much wrong with that phone i don't think i would ever go back to Oneplus anytime soon but it's good to see that they are doing well and maybe one day i can try them out again
Did not expect you to roast your wife as hard as you did but it was welcom :D
Not wife yet,fiance!😂
Used my Oneplus 7T Pro over the last 4.5 years and loved the phone
Good luck with getting green lines. OnePlus really lost my trust with this display issues
No green lines on mine.
You're lucky then xD@@wakinguptothetruth.2566
Different display now. So greenline should not appear
I had the one plus 6 and loved it and am waiting to see the 13 love the review and happy to subscribe 🤔👏😎
In the first 3 seconds I knew it was a no for me, the curved screen kills it
It's got to have something special if I'm going to endure something other than flat glass
the only phone I'd do that for is the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra
I’ve had many curved displays. Never bothered me once
@@marshallstacy6243I agree with him tho, curved screens are the worst. Try using it without any case and you always have these annoying touches on the edges which after a while becomes really, really annoying.
Bro you literally deserve millions of subscribers. You just gained one more subscriber
I moved to a OnePlus 12 to replace my Pixel 7 Pro. I'm very happy. I could have waited for the OnePlus 13, but I got a fantastic deal for the 16GB/512GB(sub 800 USD new). I do get a lot of compliments on the camera array alone.
I paid like $380 with a trade-in of an old phone I haven't used in a couple years
@@SaltMinerOU812 1st world country stuff
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is awesome and it is on sale on Samsung online today.
The iPhone 16ProMax is awesome too.
I own these two.
iPhone 16ProMax + Galaxy S24 Ultra= ❤
I don’t purchase things from RUclips channel links.
I had an Oppo x5 pro a year ago just to see what it was like and I totally agree the OnePlus-oppo phones are really underrated. Low light camera performance isn't the best and the software is a little buggy compared to efforts from Samsung etc but I really miss that phone, it was very refreshing.
I really want to try the latest flagship Oppo
@@theryanthomas the x8? It’s supposed to get a global rom and international release! I can’t lie, I’m tempted!
@@theryanthomasX8 series being announced next month in China first. Global availability will follow as Oppo settled the patent dispute with Nokia which was stopping them selling their phones globally.
True have an OPPO and its the best software and android skin.... People just dont want to admit or never had the experience.....
@@mr_stoosh I was excited to read they had resolved the patent dispute.
Great review !!!,straight to the point,thanks .
The camera samples sold me ngl
Had the OP12 for a while and dropped it for the Xiaomi 14... No Curved Screen, perfekt Size... Best phone I've ever used.... And no I'm not an Fanboy... Just give it a try you'll not regret it
If it wasn’t for the lack of 3rd party camera integration this would be a good phone
This and inferior app support (compared to iOS) is why I couldn’t make the jump. Sadge
Never heard someone say Android has poor app support @@omarnotfound
Love your review.
I'm already liking this phone. Specially for the fact that it's almost similar to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL, Apple's latest iPhone 16
If it wasnt for the green line issue and my pocket ofcourse i wwould have already bought a one plus device
it's very rare for me to watch a review that makes me really want to buy a product, specially phones cause I've been a loyal Samsung customer for nearly 13 years now but the way you showcased the positives & negatives of this phone is making me have a very serious thoughts about it, thank you for that video!
I would love a flat Display with 19:9 Aspect Ratio, that is the only reason why I got my S24 Ultra.
I don't like the tall 20:9 ratio of Pixel 9. 19.5 is also ok.
From me being a Samsung guy (S5, S7 Edge, A70, S21 Ultra, Z Fold 4) to my first OnePlus (OnePlus 12 with the 16/512 model) im a guy that loves tech and love to try new stuff from time to time. I saw couple of your vids with the Phone and other reviews before getting it and honestly with the price comparaison that i did for my own fun (living in Montreal) for the price of the OnePlus 12 with a case and the 100W charger, i wasn't sure at first knowing i got the Global version compared to the NA (Besides the including charger on the NA version and no charger on the Global, still end up the same price i just thought way too far lol) this phone is just amazing for what you get a that price. Me being used with my S21 Ultra (That im still using time to time) the curve for me is no issue, no accidental touch and imo (yes imo) it feels just... better from time to time. From the insane Battery and charging speed, amazing performance with that SD 8 Gen 3 (Honestly i don't see why i should have the Gen 4 if everything is just easily playable smoothly on the 12 with the Gen 3) the beautiful 120hz screen (I got flashbanged at first totally not knowing how bright it can go compared to the phones i had) and the beautiful emerald color (Got and Spigen clear case to showcase that beauty color) its just too good for the price. Camera wise i know some reviews mention that the S24 and Iphone takes the cake and it might, and lemme tell you. I do take pictures when i feel like it (Maybe too much honestly lol) and i still consider the Camera pretty good for how much i paid the phone. Heck, some pictures i took with this phone, if i wouldve used the Z Fold i wouldve struggled. (Dunno if its the app of the camera or just ui or just me having pure skill issue with samsung cameras but somehow i took some amazing pictures already with the OnePlus and im hella not dissapointed) All that to, this phone from me being a Samsung and will always love Samsung phones, the OnePlus 12 for a first time buyer of OnePlus. Its easily the Best phone you can get at an amazing price.
Yes it’s still ranking high in the Android world. I just sold my S24 Ultra today and put my sim into my black 512GB OP12. Great device and awesome video buddy. Keep pressing on. 👊🏽👏🏽💯
why sell s24 ultra?
That sounds like a big downgrade Why would you do that
S24 ultra is literally the android king best camera best software best performance
It's clear you surely do not own an S24 ultra. If you did, you would know the cameras are not the best. Nowhere near the best cameras on an Android phone. Come on bro be reasonable With your comments.@harshupadhayay5520
Downgrade 😂
For all who say it's a downgrade, I know but unless you use every single feature of these devices, you don't really miss it. I have multiple devices anyway so I am not as affected as you guys are by my sale. If it's any comfort to you guys, I did get a phenomenal price so I'm a happy camper 😁😁
I really really love my OnePlus 7 pro, it's my favourite phone I've had and I've had it more than 5 years now. I would love to replace it with another OnePlus phone, but I refuse to buy another phone with a curved display. There is literally not a single pro in my opinion. Soon as they ditch that, it will be top of my consideration. Good video!
Watching this on my OnePlus 12. Love it🤞
Samd
I agree. My first OnePlus phone since the One, and the second best value ive ever gotten out of a phone. Ditched my Pixel 8, S21 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro... And I've never been happier... Except when I had my OnePlus One

S24+ is the BEST bang for the buck, NOT the S24 Ultra.

Hell no
Oneplus 12 has sd card slot + 512 gb
it doesn't have an sd card slot@@Alex.R.O.P
I purchased a OnePlus7T Pro, with the retractable camera, several years ago. Even though, at the time I had a samsung Note 9 and was closer to purchasing a newer Samsung than ever before. I still bought it due to how insanely sharp the price had dropped and it was a limited edition Mclaren version. To this day, easily one of the best phones I have ever had. I own the Z Flip 6 now and also purchased the Z Flip 3 to start the flip journey of mine but as a full fledged phone it is insanely good at EVERYTHING.
The screen, Cameras, Gaming, Socials, RAM capacity etc, everything has held up and I still use it as my personal phone on the side. I may not use it for 6 months out of the year but when I do, it's just as amazing as it was the day I had purchased it. OnePlus reallyy does great, especially on the older devices since after the updates they are so much faster and reliable. On the other hand, I can't upgrade it anymore and it has been taken off the official site for updates which is one setback, but I am now looking into the CMF brand which I feel like will be much much larger and more customer focused with Carl Pei as the CEO.
I have my OP7 for 5 years now and it is only now starting to show signs of giving up! amazing device. I really wanted my new device to also be OP but they are just too big for my liking, so I snagged the Pixel 8 for 400 USD in the prime day sale. If OP ever make a smaller phone, it'll prolly be my next device.
It’s a paid review😂
Aren't they all..
I was going to buy the 12R, but didn't want a curved screen. Other option was the Realme GT6, but... same issue. Ended up with a more costly S24, but I don't regret the choice.
You wouldn't had regretted it if you bought the 12R too. I have the 9 Pro and the curve is so subtle you wouldn't notice. It gives the phone a premium look but at the same time it doesn't compromise the ergonomics
This is most definitly NOT the best phone you can buy.
Lmao then what is and why? Do you have as many devices as he does? Explain yourself, oh so strong-minded voice of the Internet.
@@strictlylethal no
@@pillepolle3122amazing argument 😂
It is one of the best bang for the buck phones
Watching on my Oneplus 7T, still working smooth and I don't even feel like upgrading!
I use OP12 for 6 months now and I am very impressed wat gem it is for it's money. All it's perfect performance ways the camera is not the best but it's very close to iPhones and S24+ and Ultra for the fraction of the money.
just subscribed my brother, earned a fan from kenya. great content and soothing voice, prefer the laid back converstaional energy and someone who reviews phones other than the usual iphone and samsung ecosphere . So thanks for that.

your videos are quite high quality, a shot of energy would make wonders in capturing more audience
Thanks for the review! 👍
Subscribed! Nice work.
I am using samsung from 3 years and my sis using moto from last 8 years.. both working fine.
Its not just Oneplus that works for many years
Just got my op 12 +OnePlus buds 2 Pro at 728 dollars yesterday
It's a great phone and your channel is amazing
Definitely the most.. complete/best value phone in 2024 (that most haven't heard of sadly). Fast charging, big battery, slick software, great cameras, actually comfortable in the hand and basically an 8 or 9 out of 10 in every factor. The 24 Ultra only beats it in 2 (slightly) noticeable areas for me, which is the anti-reflective screen and just a touch on zoom photos. The pre-applied screen protector and fast charger in the box is very important to me and I tried the Aramid Fiber case this year and it's beautiful! Always used the Sandstone case before but really impressed with this one. I hope they stick to a similar formula with the 13 and just implement the bigger Glacier battery, usual camera harware updates with an increased optical zoom and (I don't think they will but) an anti-reflection screen and protector pre-applied. Too many just rely on BS AI features that you only use every now and then, rather than improving the actual hardware. A smaller variant akin to the Pixel 9 Pro would be awesome too with the 13 but we'll see. OnePlus 12 for the win in 2024!
Good point the about the S24 Ultra anti glare coating.
Keep up the good work you are awesome reviewer .. wish you the best
Agreed Ryan the OP12 is a great device. Aside from the Open it's the OEMs best device to date. It's a joy to use and the fluidity is something else. If only OP made a smaller version as the ergonomics are too much for me.
Great content Dude keep the good stuff coming!
I have a OnePlus 8 pro. It's my 2nd OnePlus device, my first being the OnePlus 7T. I love my phone but there are some obvious things that are making me say I gotta upgrade. The one biggest issue I'm having is that curved display, almost anytime I'm typing, my hands get caught on the edges and then accidentally send the message/comment before I can finish writing it. This is technically my fault as I bought a case with lower sides, but still not a great design for me. One of the other things is the battery life. It's fine, I guess, but I do need some more than what I currently got to get a full days usage out of my device. Out of all the OLED devices I've owned, this is the first to get burn in and it's really bad, now this is really just a me problem because when I bought the phone a few years back, it wasn't even there, but again that's one thing making me want to upgrade. The OP 12 would be the perfect device if it was smaller, and had flat edges, it would be my ideal phone, however unfortunately that isn't reality, I still do want the 12 though as it's really my best option, you made a point against AI and I completely agree with you on that.
I own a Oneplus 12 as my main phone and it is indeed a great phone but I will say a few things that I think need work for future devices. Firstly the obvious which is the curved display, but also the sheer size. Onepluses refusal to make a single reasonably sized phone is disappointing. My other issue is the cameras, while they are good at times, the main lens is noticeably worse than the telephoto which was a strange choice. It also has a very strange issue when there are multiple faces in a shot. Almost always it will make one of the faces sharp and the others soft or slightly out of focus especially if the are not at the same level or depth, which can be irritating. Also I havn't been too impressed with the front camera in general as it also suffers from this issue and the colour science is also off on this sensor compared to the rear sensors, the lack of 4K60 is also unnecessary. I also feel like OxygenOS could use some more polish in places and options like lock screen customization are lacking. They have nailed the pricing, battery and charging though, its easily the best value of any flagship out there.
Hi are you also experiencing a loud rattling noise near cameras.??(Specially when you shake it a lil)
please let me know as my OP12 is making this sound and it's quite irritating...!!
@@rahulranga2078 I can hear small rattle but i think that is just OIS on the camera moving from side to side, not an issue.
@@corsinivideos thanks...😊
I love the cameras. Best I've had on any phone yet
Running around 4+years with my One Plus 8, still feeling great. The phones been giving a great performance after all this time.
The charging, battery, and haptic feedback are on another level!
Don't forget the alert slider and IR blaster
I saw when this came out and I absolutely LOVE IT without even ever actually seeing it IRL

Thank you sir!
I defo subbed bro. Your vids are so great👍👍👍
I love the colors of the camera, i really am not a fan of the unnatural contrast and saturation I'm other phones' cameras, for me the more natural, the better, which it seems like this oneplus achieves, especially the color of the sky at sunset you showed. The only thing I really dislike is the curved screen
For me the HTC M7 or M8 are the alltime best Smartphones. I really loved the Design etc. nothing after that could impress me more.
I have had the 6T and the 8T. Currently I am using an Asus ROG 6, which is great, but I might return to OP. 👊😉
Review HTC U24Pro please! A smartphone with micro SD slot and 3.5 mm headphone jack is a rare breed in 2024 and definitely deserves attention!
You take really good pictures mate!
Watching from my green OP12, I love it sm
Using a case with raised edges helps a ton with the curved screen accidental touches.
Mine gets here in a couple of days and I’m really stoked to try it out. I honestly didn’t like the Pixel 9 and sent it back. I’m like you - I like the curved edge design and don’t need all the AI gimmicks. I just want a good quality Android phone with great battery life and camera. The value is impossible to ignore. I’m just not willing to spend $1100+ on a phone anymore!
Same i sent the 9 pro back I didn't care for it either. Sticking with the 7 pro until the OP 13 comes out.
The best bang for my buck where I live is probably the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, I got one for only 899 Eur with the Photography Kit so the phone alone was technically 700 Eur (Photography Kit retail price is 200 Eur). One of the best if not the best phone for both camera enthusiasts and gamers/emulator fans. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 so it runs basically everything, 90W charging, fake leather back, the UI is the cleanest I've seen (I've used both iOS and Samsung's OS in the past) and it's THE camera phone of 2024, the Photography is a game changer for me with its tactile controls that make you feel like you are holding and using an actual camera. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's perfect for those that love the style, the Photography Kit and don't want any AI stuff on their phone but still want to have a smooth user experience and UI.
I love the oneplus 12 it's been a great phone so far...I will skip the 13 & maybe upgrade when 14 comes out..✌️
