I removed my SIM from my Galaxy s24 Ultra. I've been using the OnePlus 12 now for a couple of months. I must say it's better then i thought it would be. I think I'll hang with this phone for a couple more months.

One thing i understand that every phone is good and unique in its own way. And ofcourse every phone is different from each other. People are too judgmental. I bought OnePlus 12 and i personally enjoying its camera, The camera is really good but some people trash talk about it and they say S24 and iPhone has the best camera.. then yesterday i saw a tweeter post, everyone is in the reply talking trash and negative things about the S24's camera.. then some people say iphone's camera is bad, performance and battery backup is bad.. imo every phone is good, people just have too much expectations. Be happy with what you have.. many people can't afford a besic smartphone in this world, forget about the flagships.. So love your device, respect it, use it, take care of it and enjoy. Don't forget how much the device helps us every day. Nothing is perfect in this world, not even us. ❤😊

Got this for less than 800 CAD ( including TAXES) with student discount and device recycling rewards, I don't think there is a better value for money device than this with the ongoing offers.

That super fast charging capability definitely deserves a mention and more attention.. Heavily underrated feature

The only thing that’s holding me back from buying it, is the piece of crap curved screen. I hate it so much.

I have been using the OnePlus 12 for over a month! I can tell you that its a beast. You get in pre applied screen protector, charging brick, case in the box itself. The UI is super clean and smooth as compared to other UIs and even most Google Applications can be uninstalled or disabled. Dont forget 100 Watt Charging, I think its 80Watt in the US. Camera is great actually rivaling Samsung and Apple the only thing its lack is the Video recording which is not that great but yeah for a common user like me who dont record much videos and takes photos more that is okay. The haptics are great. Battery is also long lasting. Display is amazing. Glad I didn't go with S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max .

My husband loves his OnePlus 12 and I have the 12R which I really like too. My screen somehow got a 1 inch scratch on it by day 2. I've no idea how it happened. That, and the poor availability of cases for these phones is my only complaint. Battery on both phones is terrific.

I wish they made smaller devices with the same specs.

Circle to search is in there in one way, if you pres translate from sidebar you can also search for that thing in your screen

I got my OP12 for just about $500 USD (after tax!) thanks to a sale, stacked with trade in and student discount. Considering the price you can get it for, nothing can beat this phone in terms of pure value. It's absolutely amazing.

I have been using Oneplus 12 for the last couple of weeks and I gotta say this is one of the best smartphones out there. I am coming from the iPhone 14 Pro and I was surprised to see the fluidity of the software so much so that it feels ahead of the iPhone. The cameras are also really good and on top of that the battery life won't let you down. Overall it's a great package.

I pre-ordered two OnePlus 12's for my husband and myself to replace our beloved OnePlus 11's. After using them since February, these phones are the fastest, smoothest, and best phones we've ever used. Everything just works the way it's supposed to. We've had multiple Google Pixel phones and had issues with most of them.. screen problems, many glitches, even bricking itself after an update! I'll never buy another Pixel.

[Greyhun]

I'm sooo gonna buy it in January <3 (my Xiaomi 11T wont get updates after that) Thank you for the incredible video <3

[ShardstapoRotmg]

Hey nice vid, i love my OP12. Mind telling what your icon pack is please?

[krzychom]

Im waiting for a OnePlus 13 and Pixel 9 pro 🙂❤

[madmann]

Standby and idle are great. Having great cellular standby, it just sips. Overall a fantastic all-rounder for my use case and the cameras are fine. Plus the value proposition, really happy with this one.

[Tax_Mny]

I traded in my 8t and I am very pleased. The camera and battery life is the only reason I made the switch.

My 8t felt plenty fast. Can't wait to see how long this phone will last

[svcross-do]

I'm loving mine. Coming from the 7T, this is amazing.

Have been using it, the 16/512GB version, for over 2 months, really like it and enjoy using it on a daily basis. Got it as an upgrade for my older OnePlus 10 Pro 8/256. Cameras are much better, as is battery and the performance overall. Just wish it was little smaller and lighter.

6:07 Pro Gamer mode will make the phone throttle faster because it's pushing the phone to the max. If you want a stable/long gaming session, balanced mode is the best option. I think the name make it quite obvious
