Galaxy S24 Ultra vs OnePlus 12 - Review for Regular People 

OnePlus 12 has 16 gigs of ram for the 516 storage one.

OnePlus 12 all day. 45 watt fast charging on a 1300 phone is just crazy.

S24 Ultra price= 2× Oneplus 12 😅. Using my new Op12 from yesterday. Compared enough with S24 ultra in hand before buying. Op12 is sensible deal

What I love about OneUI is the ability to use modes and routines to set a work mode that puts my phone into DND and power saving mode the moment I arrive at work. It means that I get home at roughly 80% left on my battery. And that's after a 10+ hour day.

This is a good review. I think you were more fair to the OnePlus 12 camera than some other reviewers and I appreciate that.

To me, features like the water touch, 360 degree antennas, the excellent haptics, smart dual battery setup and thermal readings to extend the life of the battery, little stuff like pixel layout and flicker rate... and on top of all that allow bootloader unlock and rooting... Oneplus has hit all the right notes for the kind of people who would care, and to me, completely make up for lack of AI features, which frankly will come to many Android phones across the next 2 software gens, particularly ones that have this chipset and newer. The only thing I could wish for is the Samsung's form factor, and a display without a pinhole. Would love it if this phone and Nubia Z60 Ultra had a baby... Oneplus software and engineering, Nubia's under display selfie cam and form factor, Nubia's camera sensors, and Oneplus camera color science and algorithms.

OnePlus 12 gets the basics pretty good while also shining in some aspects for way cheaper price

Just the thought of an $800 phone is compared to a $1300 phone is bonkers. Awesome as always, Kev! Excellent job

S23 ultra was my last Samsung, I upgraded to the OnePlus 12

The op 12 looks better but are you're trying so hard to making the s24 ultra look better but in real op12 is a better phone overall.

I already have the OnePlus 12 pre-ordered, and I wouldn't pick any other phone, but I have to admit that the matte display on that S24 Ultra is incredible, and I think it's better for outside visibility than brute forcing like the OnePlus.

Ye, Samsung has been way overpriced for years and years..

The really funny thing is, OP wirelessly charges faster than Sammy wire charges for $500 less 🤔🤔

Thank you for the video bro. Depsite the large delta in price they seems pretty close outside of the smart features. OnePlus is finally back to punching above its weight.

Shame on Samsung to have that price and still One Plus are better in many ways. Shame on them... One Plus 12 100%

Oneplus all the way. Great video ninja.

ill choose oneplus 12 - fast charging - smooth ui - big battery - alert slider (i use alot) ill miss alot of customization and AI stuff but i hope next year oneplus 13 will come with an AI feautres and anti reflective display

The trade in is better than you said. They stacked for me. My trade in was worth $750 and I got the $100 off for any phone. Basically once my trade in arrives this is a $50 phone before taxes that comes with a charger, cable, and case in the box. I'll be sticking with One+ in the future I think.

Thanks for the nice review of the phones. As a nearly 75 year old guy I use my phone differently compared to a 25 year old. I ordered the OnePlus 12 phone since it does all that I need at a great price. Samsung has produced a technology tour de force and I can see why a power user would prefer the S24 Ultra. Both phones have appeal to their audiences.

I personally prefer the OnePlus 12 because it's way cheaper than the s24 ultra, not to mention battery life, and charging speed

Here's my thoughts and summary S24 Ultra - If you take videos often, it looks MUCH better than OP, especially with the stabilization - Much better screen IMO. Flat with rectangle shape looks amazing for content consumption (unless you like rounded corners). I read a lot of manga/webtoons and watch RU-vid/movies on my phone while traveling, and they look so much better on a flat+rectangle screen. It feels like watching on a small TV, while rounded corners feel like a tiny part of the content is getting cut off. Anti-glare is a huge bonus while outside despite lower HDR brightness, while rounded corners can sometimes look annoying and get glare on the edges. - Note that AI features are going to be under a subscription by 2025, but circle to search looks incredibly useful. I feel like someone will be able to recreate that with an app by combining a shortcut key with google lens though for any phone - I dont use S-Pen usually, but it in the rare cases you want to use a pen, it is good to have. Examples include triggering the camera with the pen, annotating on photos/screenshots to send to someone, and drawing on your phone during games like jackbox (these are specific examples for people like me who don't like to handwrite notes or draw like normal power s-pen users). You will randomly find use for it once in a while and feel glad you had it there, even if its not a daily use item - OneUI - An extreme amount of cool customization with apps like GoodLock. It also has a much better always on display than Oxygen OS imo. GoodLock also has an extension to allow adding any widgets on the AOD, which I couldn't replicated in the latest OxygenOS. - Ecosystem - if you plan to use a galaxy watch or galaxy buds, it will have just a few features that will work better, but not a deal breaker. But if you want to use a SmartTag finder, you can only use it with Samsung. I recently replaced my Tiles with them for the AR view and better app integration, and I like it for that reason. OnePlus 12 - Battery and fast charging is the biggest advantage here. However, I feel like this is a rare use case. For most people, you will have enough battery life with either phone to last you an entire day, at which point you can plop it on a wireless charger as you sleep. The fast charging will only be useful for very rare cases where you forget to charge it imo, so for me that makes this point less important than I originally considered it to be. - Oxygen OS - many people say it feels snapper and smoother than OneUI. I have had both OP and Samsung phones in the past, and OOS definitely has slightly nicer animations imo. Gestures like app switching are also slightly better. But I have also experienced/heard of some more bugs happening on it. - RAM. Not sure how much of a difference this would make. Maybe if you have a lof of apps open, you can keep more of them in your RAM for quick resuming. Although 12GB seems good enough already, but it could be useful for power users. - Price - if price is a big factor for you, then I would easily say go with the OnePlus 12. However, if you already have a samsung device with a good trade in deal, you can get the price pretty close Other stuff - If your main use is taking photos, definitely look more at samples to see your preference. It seems like they're both better at different types of photos - If price is a big factor, OP 12 is an easy winner. You lose a lot of bells and whistles but it is a perfectly good phone on its own

For the price OP12 is a great phone and kills the base S24 and iphone 15 in many aspects. The fast charging and Display tech is great too although OnePlus has been facing green lines issue on it's displays. S24U in my opinion has the best display, period. The colour calibration and it's sustained high brightness is fantastic. Samsung has more updates, security, better camera's etc up it's sleeves. Then there's S-pen and Samsung's ecosystem. S24U is truly a beastly phone. Cheers 🥂

Debating trading in my fold 4 for the s24 ultra. Can't beat 1k trade in.

I'm just so glad there's something on the market to actually be excited about again, I've been with Samsung for 9 years now 👋 and they just refuse to upgrade the things I've wanted for years like battery size and charging speeds plus the cheery on top is the rounder edges of the OnePlus 12 and the lighter UI. I've personally been getting sick of the squared off phones and missed the S20 ultra and before look. lastly the price is so ridiculously good 😮

I need another one plus device. Using the s23 fe and I miss that fast charging

🔥 video as always dude! Great info and solid comparison.

What weather widget is that??

I love Samsung apps, Software, and S-Pen, anything else is just a phone.

Just got the green 16gb 512gb one plus 12. The most beautiful phone i have ever seen and used. This is my 3rd oneplus phone. Had the 6t, the 8 5g, and now the 12. Definitely loving it

You mention the Samsung has 100x zoom like 2 or 3 times but never mention the OnePlus has 120x zoom. Also, the OnePlus comes with an 80w charger in the states and 100w everywhere else.

No trade in for OnePlus 12 in the UK - whether old non working or rival flagship..come on OnePlus why is this?? 🤔

Oneplus 12 is better in my opinion especially when you compare the $500 price difference, Charging speed and battery life. But S24U is a great phone too but I just think it is overpriced for $1300.

One plus 12 has less bands for T-mobile vs. Samsung s24 has more bands for the network. so not only specs are crucial but connectivity too

Nice job Kevin. The S24 is enticing me from my Pixel. I'll probably wait for the S25 though.

So, in my country the two phones are only 200 euro difference. Is the s24 ultra worth the 200 euro's more?

25 min charging to 100%??? Oh hell yess!,🎉😂

Should i switch from Zfold 5 to Oneplus 12?? One ui is stuttering and poor battery performance and charging speed..

Great video! I love tech myself and looking to get into videos. Any advice on the financials of buying all this new tech?

I don't understand why circle to search is such a big deal deal, Google lens is all it is and you can move the frame around or resize it on the picture and it does the same thing.

Indeed on other markets OnePlus12 is a better option because of the price. But here in Europe (Romania) the S24 Ultra is 1245 EUR and the Oneplus 12 is 1038 EUR difference. So in my opinion, for Europe's prices the S24 Ultra is the better option. If we had prices like in the US, I would go for OnePlus12.

Samsung release another phone this year that is pack with great specs and 300 dollars cheaper than the s24(ultra)..maybe what he meant was secretly he was talking & praising the s24+

One plus 12 looks like my old S9+ design wise from the front.

Samsung is 400e for the brand, iphone is 700e for the brand. Thanks Oneplus 💪

I wonder how that super fast charging will reflect on the battery life after 2 years on the One plus ?

So it seems that the quality of the pictures and videos are a bit better on the galaxy s24 ultra. But is it worth the 500 dollars price difference ? And what about screen protectors for the oneplus 12. Its a curved screen

I've never been a Samsung guy but boy, that S24U display is sexy as hell.

For me the s24 ultra wins the comparaison because in europe the Oneplus is starting at 950€ with no trade-in. Where as with the s24 Ultra you can have 350€ extra when trading in an old phone.

im sure the s24 selfie has a brighter f stop than the oneplus and looks noticeably better in both low and great light. Selfies are always better with more established brands i have seen.

I have oneplus 12 since yesterday and this phone is abasolutely amazing. If you consider how much cheaper it is than the s24u then samsung has compromised itself.

1+ nailed every aspect of a flagship this year and everyone must follow their lead from now and on. Absolutely and undoubtedly the best device there is. 🎉🎉🎉

I would still keep my S22 ultra over the oneplus...

Was this video done before the updates on OP12?

At 9:42 there is a problem. Its shows a background with "CAMERASAMPLE".

S24 Ultra for me.👑 1️⃣ S24 Ultra flat display and overall design 2️⃣ Overall Samsung Cameras system 3️⃣ Samsung Modes & Routines 4️⃣ Samsung DEX 5️⃣ S-Pen and S-Pen features 6️⃣ Samsung OneUi in general 7️⃣ Galaxy Aí

The ultra is just more premium and polished

Which camera is better ? Ive samsung 24 ultra and thining abiut oneplus12 12 because of samsung camera which im not fan of

This Galaxy S24 Ultra vs OnePlus 12 comparison is truly a perfect guide for regular users like me! 📱💡 This video is not just a dry technical comparison, but also focuses on important points of interest to ordinary users. This helps me better understand how each phone can meet the everyday needs and expectations of the average user.

But mate, i find the speakers of the oneplus way better than those of the s24u lol constantly having the s24U on max but its still not good enough, for the oneplus its great at 70 percent already

The only one feature I wanted in S12 was that anti glare display of s24..thats bloody rich looking. Otherwise op12 is a winner in my eyes

If a phone about of about half the price of S24 ultra comes close in terms of performance, then which phone is the real winner? Also, that image search thing on S24 ultra should be also there in oneplus 12. I'm using the old oneplus 7t & on the top right corner there is an option for using google lens to search the picture. So, if old 7t has that feature then the new 12 should also have that.

I'm Glad this video is waiting on my new oneplus 12😍

The anti reflection is undated step.. If apple put it in iphone, they will advertise it for 30 minutes in their launch

Samsung has evolved so much in a positive direction when it comes to video, both front and rear camera. Much much better than earlier galaxy phones. Almost as good as iPhone now. OnePlus need to go a long way to even get that quality.

I've always been a fan of OnePlus phones and software.. The Galaxy is too big and boxy for me and 1300 is too expensive and on top of that you're not getting a charger or even a case

Is the minimum brightness lower on the OnePlus or the Samsung?

If you have to compare a 1300$ to a 800$ phone....in my opinion, Samsung already lost. Oh and don't forget your monthly payment for the all new Google AI on the Samsung ;)

OnePlus has circle to search

SGS24U has much better clarity and details. OP12 smears the sh1t out of everything.

*Circle to search for a workaround* Share that image to google lense

I love the round corners on the OnePlus and the huge price difference also make sense along with what you get in the box; However, for me the camera is a priority so the Ultra makes more sense to me

Circle to search aka Google lens?

How about the battery, which last longer?

I will never het another OnePlus phone i came from the OnePlus 9. Before thet i had the Note 9. ONEPlus feels cheap. And the screens arent so good. I just got the Samsung 24 Ultra last week im back on top i was a bottom feeder with that oneplus facts.

Lol, seeing this video on my OP12, my battery was 16% few mins back and now my charging is at 40% already 😅 Banger speeds of charging..😮

Please compare oneplus 12 with S24+ 🙏🙏🙏

I feel like most regular people would be getting the base S24 or the S24 Plus

I got both as well. Honestly the oneplus is better. It feels more advanced in nearly every way except for the AI features. Also feel like the camera is way nicer despite less mp. No grain or noise

Samsung doesn't have the best speakers on any smartphone out now... That crown goes to the ROG phone 7, hands down. Nothing sounds like it, especially if you use the aeroactive cooler with the "subwoofer" built-in.

I am having a hard time deciding between the two because I think the hardware of the OnePlus 12 is amazing for the price. However, for software, I think Samsung is better for me because I am already locked into their ecosystem. Is there a really good custom rom for OnePlus 12?

Without reflections the s24 ultra colors are washed out like crazy , shame you didn't mention that part , a lot of people are unhappy about the colors

PS The 1 + 12 offers 80 w fast charging in North america. It only charges at 100 w in the global and Chinese variance.

I only ever get the Samsung phones for the S Pen. And I find I use it less than I did. The IR blaster, aqua touch, and charging are bigger to me, these days.

ngl I liked onepluses photos more

More expensive than a iPhone, Yikes 😱

Honestly in my region I've never seen a 1 plus phone so it's hard to say because Samsung is in control on this side

The OnePlus 12 is an awesome phone for the price, but OxygenOS is still not as good as it was once. For example: Notifications on the lockscreen just disappear as soon as you unlock the phone, even if you don't do anything with them. They are still shown as icon on the always-on display, though. There is no setting to change that, which is absolutely dealbreaking for me personally. You also sometimes cannot change the app language for single apps, but it works for the same apps in stock android. Why? I have no clue, but it seems OnePlus uses a different approach here.

Sounds like a win for one plus

Op12 for me

Does this oneplus 12 include an IR blaster ?

I guarantee he will say the one plus i barley every heard him say anything good about Samsung.

Brother, many things to narrate u. Samsung ahead in call recording without announcement, secure folder, s pen, knox security, ip 68, 7 years software support. Only downside is battery sot bt why u don't charge phone before going office in morning?

I truly believe so many people hate to admit that Samsung isn't worth the price when compared to other flagship phones because they get so caught in the hype. The OnePlus 12 phone is indeed a better phone in almost every way minus not having a pin(whoopy doo). OnePlus 12 gaming is better because of battery and cooling, camera takes the same pictures minus a little better in video on s24 ultra and fast charging both wired or wireless is no comparison for OnePlus 12,and can't forget price of the phone is better than all phone with big memory

Imagine paying 1300USD for a phone and not getting a power brick :D

Samsung is cautious after the note 7 situation with its battery but i hope one day they do incorporate faster charging

The rounded corners and curved edge screen look crappy next to the S24U, but it seems like a great device.

Watching on my op12..and in my opinion, op12 is a better deal in a cheaper price

Hwzit brother. Please do a comparison with the Realme GT5 Pro please vs these two or s24 ultra

1:02, one plus didn't let me trade in my broken one plus 10r

A smart phone is all about the camera now days, OnePlus is still learning from Samsung about how cameras should work, note it's not the other way round, Samsung are still King 👑 of the camera and phone..

that google image search option works on my Samsung Note20 Ultra
