My daughter has iphone 13. I have been using the 12 R for 6 weeks. We have taken photos of the same sibject. I find my 12 R to actually take a shot more as the naked eye sees things and her iphone adds coloring which can be nice but it is not what the eye sees. Bad eyes?🤔😀This 12R is super. Great battery and charges fast! Super fast!
I've just ordered one an 2 hours ago.Roughly 600 euros and it comes with 100w charger included,that's a good thing for me.I don't like to receive a phone and then go buy a charger.......sounds,looks and feels ridiculous not having a charger...
Keyboard seems to be more accurate in my experience and alot snappier on s24 ultra. Iphone 13 can lag sometimes I'd say the autocorrect on samsung keyboard is worse than iphone tho. But it's funny how even the latest iphone and mine lag in subway surfers and sonic dash but my s24 ultra doesn't lol and these two came out like 10 plus years ago lol
I'm considering the 12R over the Poco X6 Pro. $173 difference for similar performance. The lower performing battery of the X6 Pro is a deal breaker for me.
I just ordered one in July 2024. At least in the US Oneplus has a deal where you get $100 off instantly by trading in any phone working or not. I have a very low end phone I got for free via 2yrs of bill credits. So the 2 yrs are up and I am getting $100 for it.
Apple and Samsung have such slow charging speed. It's incredibly frustrating at this point. People say it preserves the battery and that's not a reason not to include fast charging though... you can always use a slow charger if you want. Apple Samsung and Google need to catch up with OnePlus and Oppo and Xiaomi and Huawei etc
i've had a oneplus 10 for 2 years, it charges in 16min 100%, and i've never had a battery problem, samsung and apple want to make more profit that's all.
Its a technological limitation. Samsung and Apple use Li-ion batteries everyone else uses Li-Po. Li-Po are cheaper, safer, cooler and thats why they are easier to fast charge but they have on average 50% the total cycle count compared to Li-ion. If anything though Samsung especially should know that their preference for this battery really affect their phones with their swelling within 3 years and explosion problems in the past.
Got a new 10 pro off amazon. Was $80 cheaper than the 12r. Just oneplus have issues with green lines in the displays, so contemplating on returning it out of the fear of the green line.
Comment from someone trying to move from a flip phone to a smartphone. The real fear of buying a OnePlus 12R is the lack of a printable reference manual. The PDFs on the company's website are not paginated for reference, either for the 12R or for the Oxygen 14 OS. RU-vid videos can only go so far--but not for someone learning a new style of phone. To further aggravate a potential buyer, OnePlus USA doesn't have any kind of e-mail mechanism whereby one could start a thread answering questions and concerns.
OnePlus user here. You can access the red cable club from the settings. It will link you to forums and customer service. You can chat with them if you have any inquiries. Haven't used that feature yet because the user interface is very intuitive... Or perhaps I'm just so used to OnePlus. Just explore the settings and tweak it to your liking.
Just to let you know FYI Apple is made by Samsung Samsung isn't making their phones for years and the only thing really sent Apple really makes is their tablets and their computers but their phones in general are manufactured by Samsung and if you do not believe me take one apart and look inside you will see Samsung branded parts
Very slow scrolling is a deal breaker for me. No idea how to fix it. I will probably have to return it. Plenty of comments about it on Reddit but no guru will tell you about it.
@@TechGuyBeau I don't like the word u will get use to it, that's the first word u gonna heard from iphone users when u buy the first iphone, I don't like that apple made phones in the way they like, Android phone companies made it based on customer needs (aka Huawei) #note with all this enormous huge size the battery should be 6,000 milliamp at least let users use the phone for 3 days on the row why not, the Chinese phone is not better to have it, and what about screen dimming issues under the sunlight and with playing games u can't play for 30 minutes without extreme hot and screen dimming what the point of strong processor if you can't do anything with it, also make back gestures simple like Android, you can go back from left or right in all apps and menus no matter what, also you should support installing apps from outside of Apple store like everybody else give me more choices why not, put the charger in the box and make it fast 30 minutes for full charge at least we are in 2024' it's not that hard thing to do give people what they want bad apple

So they didn't improve typing experience on ios. I remember it was really bad. Didn't use for a long time, but have some shitty Samsung s10 work phone, I found out that it must be touch refresh rate that is bad, typing experience or using it fast brings like misclicks, it's just terrible experience.
‘I’m switching’?! Still? What the hell is this? 2011? Lmao I bet you’ll have your sim back in you iPhone by this evening, if you even bothered to actually switch
If you never COMPARE cameras you will generally be happy with most cell phone cameras except with the basic cheaper phones....but some of those are pretty good. Sufficient light is the key❤
13:15 The OnePlus has MANY options to calibrate the display so you can fine tune it to be accurate. Most iPhone users wouldn’t know that because there are NO display calibration settings in an iPhone. EDIT: Ok he eventually found the settings at the end of the video. Lol
Sweet review! This thing kinda came out of nowhere and it's honestly a lot more interesting than a Samsung right now just based off of battery, charging and price. If I end up going back to Android for my next phone purchase then it will very likely be this phone!
A wild Burnsy the king emerges. Yeah I really enjoy the phone, if androids gets iMessage integration down then Apple is ..”cooked” get it… because Tim Cook
The 12r is a better choice because.. 1. A charger in the box.. 2.That charges waaay faster than any one youd have to buy for iphone 3.better battery life 4.a faster processor for gaming 5.120 fps 6.brighter screen 7.decent camera 8.All for a FORTH the price of the iphone smh People only pay more to have an iPhone to be in their ecosystem for the iMessages and I guess a "cool factor" of having something everybody has.. it's really quite ridiculous actually
Gotta be honest One plus is an amazing Flagship killer phone , for the price that it is sold at the performance , longevity and that style is next to none , been a one plus user for less than a month but have got great reviews from family members using them from back in 2018, and not a bad thing to say about it
Apple announced its last iPhone Like it’s the Best they ve ever had stuff in it but I didn’t need the good stuff the last like three models back then. It’s cuz we r finished the phone thing? I am at a point just looking for price when need a new one
I'm strongly considerring this for my next phone. I had a Oneplus6T for a couple of years and it was an incredible phone for the money. Oneplus OS is very good. I felt it was quite close to pure android, but with some really smart enhancements.
former user of OP 9 pro, upgraded to 12R due to battery performance, the overall feeling is very similar, I was very satisfied with the 9 Pro that's why I picked again an OP. One of the best VFM out there IMHO.
I have oneplus 9... is the 12R enough of an upgrade to justify the price £450 here in Uk. my oneplus 9 lags in 8 ball pool and battery life not so good but it charges quickly, i'm kinda on the fence. does 8 ball pool run any better on 12R ????
@@lee__1707 not so much, I didn't notice significant performance difference on 12R, I managed to sell it for 300 euros so the upgrade cost me 320, kind of OK but mostly for the battery, I'm very satisfied with 12Rs battery. You can try replacing the battery in 9 pro.
@@tse0123 well I did upgrade from OnePlus 9 to the 12R it is an upgrade with the exception of the camera. The op9 camera is far superior to the 12R. I don't use the camera much so am overall very happy with the 12R
Americans are generally a bit sad. I've seen comments from Americans saying I'd love to get the OnePlus 12r but everyone in my skool has a iPhone, so I have to get an iPhone. 🤷🏻♂️ Sums Americans up I'm afraid. While the rest of us, all round the world, can enjoy these incredible phones.
I used to be an apple fanboy then i got an android and never looed back chineese phones are the best although Google pixel is also great phone o presently have op10t
I am watching this on my One Plus 8 and my new 12R is here unopened. The cameras on 8 are decent if you get good lighting into the camera. It will be interesting to see the difference with this 12 R? I am going from 8 GB 128 to 16 GB 256. Both have curved screen which you get used to....😊
There's also a setting for double clicking either volume button to launch camera as well unless media is being played. Helps with not having to fumble for the right button 👍👍@@TechGuyBeau
What do you think about one plus UI. People are really exaggerating about oxygen OS looks quite similar to color os . It still looks quite clean while adding more functionalities than pixel s UI.
Seems good to me. My only experience with androids has been a bazillion Samsung and Lenovo tablets… and for phones the pixel. The one plus UI seems very unobtrusive and quite logical to navigate.
Im in the market now, and my wife means that I need to try an Iphone. Here in Norway I can today get a OnePlus 12r for $550 and a Iphone 15 PRO MAX is $1500. I cant imagine the Iphone beeing worth 3 times as much?
This means something coming from someone who has been using a 15 Pro Max. I'm currently using the OnePlus 10T, waiting for my 12R to arrive in a few days.
I have a 2 month follow up video coming. I have to eventually switch back since my family is OBSESSED with FaceTime. Going back was/is not easy. iPhones feel so laggy, bloated, and limited . Not to mention they cost a fortune
@@TechGuyBeau that's how I was for YEARS! I kept switching back and forth between Android and iPhone every year or so until it became a running joke amongst my friends that I couldn't make up my mind lol. Everytime I would move away from apple I would inevitably miss being able to randomly FaceTime my wife, disliked being one of the only green bubbles in the chat and not seeing all blue messages lol
Just switched to the s24 ultra from an iPhone 13 Pro Max . Just to play , great phone no doubt , but for sure I know that I will go back to iPhone in a couple of months , don’t know why , apple magic 😅? , iPhone just feels smoother and responsive more , don’t get me wrong the s24 ultra is dope fast and smooth but 9,/10 smooth if the iPhone is 10 . And the apps , so many apps are better designed on iPhone , why though / why they dint care about android apps .
If they are why does subway surfers and sonic dash lag on the last couple of iphones that came out? Lmfao so powerful they can't even optimize some old ass games. They don't lag at all on my s24 ultra but my iphone 13 is crap with almost anything other than cod mobile.
@@robmalcolm8042 sure,laggy Sammy,worst brand ever,had them all,its not even as smooth as Dony or OnePlus,not to mention Iphone- and after two years of usage its so horrible to use.
so, it is so evident that i have made a gigantic mistake at this stage after i had selected oneplus 12R over samsung s23 fe which had no doubt better cameras than this phone. let it be known that i had waited 4 years for this upgrade which was not much but I guess, you dont get what you really want in life
@@TechGuyBeausorry. I mean I had heard everything good about Samsung galaxy s 23 fe except it's camera but the flagship touch and cameras ... And then at the last moment I went with the word of mouth and bought this performance beast instead of the camera I wanted ..
@@TechGuyBeauI understand that you're not really complaining about the cameras on 12R but the cameras are better on 12. The processor is also better on 12. A really good and fun comparison from a Apple user point of view. Sub! 👍🏻😊
The 12R is really nice, probably the nicest in its price range, but it is not the most premium Android phone on the market. Well done breakdown of the experience, by the by.
If put case on it dose get better for holding phone because curved screen annoying, please is anyone has one and tell about it and really want to buy it but curved screen. Also 12 or 12 r is big different in camera picture quality
I should probably publish that yeah. Long story short it’s a superb phone. So long as you are fine without FaceTime or optical zoom get it. If you need optical zoom get the non r.
LOL Not sure why in the world you would think a budget phone would have "the most serious SOC for a Android" ??? Not even close. This uses a 1 year old soc and is mid tier at BEST. The Asus ROG 8 Pro and the Red Magic 9 Pro are both faster than the Iphone 15 in all benchmarks except the Geekbench single core score. Please do your research before making statements like that.
