First let's address the poor fellow who let the low star and shipping. I pre-ordered this just like everyone else. And I too experienced the whole gonna be this date and so forth. Thats the post office for you bud!! I got mine. Now back to the phone. Battery. Life is. Outstanding. Camera pics onxe you lean the modes is fantastix. The zoomed mode works well. Video recording is good. Speakers sound is loud with a touch of bass. Haptic feedback is unreal on this phone. So far there nothing I've found that I don't like. If your new to one plus plan on spending a ton of time getting to tweak things the way you like. This. Is my first with one plus. Came from a Samsung note ultra series and this blows the Samsung out of the water in my view. Fast charing fast charing holy..... It's nuts. There so much that this phone is offering I don't think you be displeased. Go for broke and get one!!!And for the internet warriors about the camera. I sapped a ton of picts with it and am quite please with the shots. Details and saturation for me look better. I'm really diggin this phone. I took a leap on it as I've never owned or used a one plus. My son has a nord series and loves it. Now I see why.
This is a first time I have bought a phone that is not a Samsung phone. Let me tell you, this is an upgrade from my S22 Ultra. Much longer battery life, more powerful, gaming experience is better and it cost about $350 less than the Ultra series. It feels nice on my hands and looks beautiful. $799 well spent!
I've had this phone for one month or so and it's without any doubt the best I've ever owned. I currently have a Samsung 23+, Pixel 8 (non pro), and they are not even close in regards to the pleasant experience this phone gives. Also I have not had any issues at all.Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Android Auto, texting, calls, etc. all work very well. The speaker sound is excellent. It has a very nice screen and it's super smooth. It also has the silent slider on the side of the phone, just like the OnePlus 8T that I once had, which is very useful. The haptics are the best I've felt in any phone I've had before, comparable to pixel phones, however there are two separate haptic syles you can choose from, and they have adjustments for intensity. As for the camera, I have taken a hand full of photos and they are much better than expected. In my opinion, the photos are also comparable to the Pixel phone quality or at least very close to it; the camera also has a very good zoom if you need it.The UI is not stock Android but it's comparable in many ways, with more customization. There are a lot of useful features, such as different dark mode styles; natural tone display, which helps keep the screen color the same as the ambient lighting changes; ultra anti flicker (a huge feature for me personally), for if you are sensitive to PWM (this causes eyestrain and headaches); and many other unique features that are actually useful.
Screen is nice, no issues with speed or storage, and the battery life is phenomenal! Took the battery down to 16% one time, took 18 hours off the charger and 9.5 hours of screen-on time to do that. Super easy to make it a full day even with heavy use. And so glad I went with the green, it's just something different than all the other black slabs out there. Camera circle helps there too. Oh, and the cameras are great. Not the best out there, of course, but I have absolutely zero complaints. Great pics in good light, low light pictures are far better than I was expecting (blows my old Samsung Galaxy Note 9 out of the water there) and the zoom is so fun to play with! Save your money from the S24+ and Ultra and get this phone instead.
I had just about given up on finding a suitable replacement for my dying OnePlus 7 Pro (battery health is 70% and the USB-C port and various radios are acting up) when I finally stumbled onto the 12 series.I first tried the 12R but I hated the camera and, to be honest, I still don't like the point-and-shoot performance of this one vs the 7 Pro with the GCam app, but I love the optical zoom lens and I'll figure out a way to make the rest of the cam cluster work for me. It seems to suffer mostly indoors with the main lens. And there's a weird push toward a lack in depth-of-field in digital imaging sensors or post-processjng (I don't know which) these days that I'm not loving too much. I don't shoot video hardly at all and a 32MP selfie cam just seems like overkill to me but, camera business aside, the phone is like a laptop you can hold and use anywhere with one hand.I'm a OnePlus guy but the last few series just didn't seem worth an upgrade and now this thing is just ridiculously powerful and anything else you can imagine in a phone. It has more customization than I can really force myself to dig into and the basic stuff is easy to get to.I don't care what ColorOS folks say—OxygenOS is more than anyone needs. I don't need color notification icons on my lock screen. Give me a break. If I need thousands of wallpapers and stuff to choose from, the Zedge app is free and exhaustive.And I'm not much on style, to be honest, but the backplate on this (green) thing is the most gorgeous device surface I've ever seen. I really didn't think the blue backing on the 7 Pro could be beaten. Fuh-gettaboutit. I wish I could bring myself to use the thing without a case, it's that attractive.This thing (the 512GB/16GB version) has as much storage as my laptop and twice as much RAM. It charges from 0-100% wired (CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE-BOX HERE—SAMSUNG, GOOGLE, SONY!) in a half-hour and wireless in an hour AND the charge seems to last forever. Sometimes it seems like it takes an hour or two for the indicator to come down off of 100%. The old, nagging "Where's the charger?" feeling is really nice to be over but admittedly not completely banished from my head yet. It honestly feels like I only need to charge it in my car (SUPERVOOC 80w Car Charger only $20 here) for a few minutes a day and never at home. I'm seriously considering turning on the "charge only to 80%" battery life saving thingy-ma-bob/feature/setting.The performance is just breathtaking. I honestly don't think I'm going to bother replacing my 6-year-old Dell Inspiron when it finally gives up the ghost. As good a value as it is compared to other brands' flagships, $900 is not what I originally set out to spend on a new phone. No complaints, though. I understand the effects of post-COVID Tech economics and I'll just have to sacrifice somewhere else. Hopefully it'll hold up for another 5 years or so like the 7 Pro did.OnePlus really knocked it out of the park with this one. 🙂
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this phone! Only downside to it is a personal matter involving the difficulty and pain of rooting this device without encountering any errors or a permanent bootloop. If that does end up happening. You're fresh out of luck! There's no current way to repair or factory reset through a recovery tool as of this review. That's mainly because of the merger between Oxygen OS and Color OS. Which most people including myself aren't a huge fan of. Oneplus should have stuck to their roots (no pun intended). Even if you went to the official OnePlus device list website. Any device that's a OnePlus 10 Pro and newer isn't listed on the software support page on OnePlus.com. Their rebranded as Oppo devices for some odd reason unfortunately. Only the OnePlus 9 & 9 Pro and older are listed as official Oxygen OS software certified phones, even though the newer devices will state their running Oxygen OS. This makes rooting and unable to update your firmware way more tricky and nearly impossible as of right now, unless with a custom recovery or some other method. If you're someone like me who loves to have an unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery or Magisk modules etc. This device isn't the one anymore. It's now the international Samsung device variants or Android gaming phones.
I had the oneplus 11 before this and switched to the pixel 8 pro thinking it would be a better phone... suffice it to say I was wrong. Now I have the OnePlus 12 and if they keep this level of quality up I will never switch to another brand again.Compared to the OnePlus 11:Better camerasFaster CPUBrighter displayCharges a bit fasterBuild feels more premiumCompared to the Pixel 8 Pro:CPU is not even in the same realm. OnePlus doesn't get hot unless you're really pushing it for long periods and has so much more raw horsepower.Similar level of premium build quality, but feels more comfortable in the hand due to curved edges.Wayyyyyy faster charging. This makes a huge difference for me because I use my phone heavily all day for both work and personal use. Just being able to boost the charge to 50% quickly is a game changer. Pixel takes 1.5h to fully charge most of the time even with good chargers.Camera quality is roughly the same. I compared telephoto photos at 6x to pixel's 5x and detail was very very close. As a photographer I prefer the more natural look you get from OnePlus.Price... this one is obvious. OnePlus definitely wins here.Software is good on the OnePlus. Better than it's ever been actually. Pixel has a couple of benefits here thanks to AI but I personally never used them so I can't really compare. OnePlus 12 animations feel more fluid and pleasing though.I'll update this if I run into any issues. So far the software has been roughly as stable as Pixel itself so no complains there and I hope the phone continues to work as well for me as it does now.I strongly recommend this to anyone except for those who require an S-Pen or just have extra money to spend for no reason.
Disclaimer: I use this phone mainly to talk, text and peruse social media. I don't do too many live videos or take a ton of photos.This phone does a great job in everything although it's really not a master in anything outside of battery life and charging options. I get a full day out of this phone easily. Usually around the 1 day, 3 to 5 hour mark before I charge each day. I usually charge when the phone gets between 20-25%. I can leave my house at 35% or even go to bed at 15% and never worry about running out of juice. And even if I'm low on juice, I can charge this phone from 20-100% in about 25 minutes. I am amazed at how I can put this phone on the charger and in just a matter of 5 minutes I've gained about 20% of power. Even when using a USB charger, it's still pretty fast. Wireless charging is about average. That is the phone's biggest strength.As far as talking goes, it has a good quality sound. Coming from a Samsung 20 FE (Verizon service), I found myself missing a call now and then (goes straight to voicemail) or drops in audio when I took calls at home. I've yet to have a problem with the OnePlus, so I'm guessing the internal anntenna is better because I'm still with Verizon.There are a lot of audio playback options available (Dolby Atmos, Spatial, etc.) and I haven't tried them all out yet, but the speakerphone sounds loud and crisp. However, when I connect to a Bluetooth speaker or in my car's audio system, the volume tends to be lower. I have to really crank up the volume in my car or max out my Bluetooth speaker to hear clearly. However, maybe there's an option I'm missing in the settings that would help me.And there are a ton of options in the settings! It can be overwhelming to someone who isn't tech-saavy, but it's not as bad as it looks. Most of the settings are basic on the surface, but if you go into the sub-menus then it will get more advanced. But you can control things to enhance the already superior battery life to changing your refresh rate for smoother scrolling. Just about everything else is typical Android stuff, but OnePlus has some nice features of its own with the Floating Window and One-Hand Scrolling.The phone needs a case. It's not easy to this phone even with both hands. I wouldn't advise anyone try it unless they have pretty big hands. It will probably drop as you are texting. But that's not a deal-breaker because cases are inexpensive.The media on this phone is smooth. It looks really good and there are options to tweak it even more. Someone who is an avid TikTok or IG fan will be at home with this phone. The camera takes amazing photos. Unfortuantely, I haven't been on vacation yet to give it a real try, but what I've taken so far are very nice. Definitely a little clearer and more realistic than my Samsung 20 FE. Recording video is pretty impressive, too, but I've yet to do a live or video call.Anyone who pays almost double for an iPhone or Samsung is really just seeking the brand. Yes, those phones may have a few more bells and whistles with A.I. and they may have slightly (arguably) better cameras. But if those phones are a 10 on a scale of 1-10 then the OnePlus is a 9. And it is much, much more inexpensive to the point that you could probably get two of these for the price of an iPhone or Galaxy 24.
