I Was Wrong About The Oneplus 12... 

Always appreciate someone who gives credit where its due. Also when someone isn't afraid to go back over something when they might have not been as accurate as they thought they were. Shows a lot of integrity.

I've had the Oneplus 12 for a month and with the updates, the camera is phenomenal, especially at night. I am very happy with it.😁

One plus 12 is strong enough to compare with iPhone Samsung flagship ❤

Great video. Because of you, I'll have to take my OnePlus 12 out at night again to do more testing.

when a phone is almost half the price, yet challenges the most expensive biggest flagships on every aspect.. that says alot I've had my oneplus 12 for a couple of weeks now and after the updates it's such an amazing phone. It's lightning fast, charges fast, takes amazing pictures and yeah.. it does everything i need and it does it well . Samsung and Iphone probably have very good phones, but with that price tag, how can they compete other than the name of the brand.

Really great video mate, I now see what you mean with the reflections in videos across social media; I always wondered what that was from

I like the more true-to-life photos of Oneplus 12. The other two seem to try too much with the post-processing, leading to weird results occasionally.

Great video. You got yourself a new sub here. Can i ask were all these night photos taken on auto, as in point and shoot or manual?

Shifted to this from ip15pro max... and it's insanely good and fluid.

Bro such a geat video. Light flares, unbalanced highlights and over exposure issues in the city at night drive me nuts. My Pixel 7 struggles with it too. I'm sold on the OnePlus 12. I just shake my head everytime i plug in the pixel as well. So done with slow charging. Have the Realme GT 2 Pro and Moto Thinkphone which both have lighting fast charging..

So accurate... Other paid youtubers would never admit that ..

Great content & well made. Subbed right away ! Loved it 🤩 This video single handedly pushed me over the edge to purchase the OP 12 (now waiting for it to arrive). I also watched the original video linked in the description. It would be awesome if you could release a remake of the original video, considering that all 3 phones (especially the OnePlus 12) have undergone some updates ranging from minor to major aspects of the camera. All the best, keep growing 💯😊

Very clean and bold. OnePlus almost half the price of these smartphone giants is outdoing it in night photography. Awesome.

Thank you for your video! How is the OnePlus 12's modem and battery life? We tried an iPhone 15 Pro, but the batteries never lasted five hours. We swapped them for iPhone 15 Pro Maxs and could not maintain decent call signals. We also never had 5G service. I thought aboout getting Samsung S24 Ultras, primarily because of the alleged stronger modem and longer software support. What are your thoughts? Thank you. JP

Can Definitely see the difference in the pictures. I love that OnePlus is trying to compete with big apple and Samsung at a cheaper price but offering comparable if not better options. My wife has a mid-range one plus phone and she loves it. Another great video my guy...keep on repping KC

I don't like night shots to look like daytime; as is the case with most flagship smartphones. Oneplus 12 night shots look more natural! good points and observations!

Great Review, honest, thorough, and detailed! Appreciate your work!

Just bought it yesterday. I'm an iPhone fan boy since the iPhone 3. My first android phone will be the OnePlus 12, so my android experience depends on this phone. I will like/love it or hate it and going back to iPhone never looking back at android. This was the first phone that I felt was worth the move to try android. Finger cross!

Great honest review - Were these photos on the OnePlus taken using it's standard/auto settings or did you manually adjust the camera settings to get the best shot?

Very much well explained and with side by side comparison to come across the differences in light flares, exposures and colors. It a very basic comparison tbh, but shows the difference in cameras during night shots. I give this a win for the Oneplus 12. Of course Apple and Samsung beats the 1+12 on other camera features but we can clearly see that Oneplus will be a major competetor for the 2. Major firmware and software updates will also be a very important key factor in terms of phone operation and camera features and performance. Keep up the good my good man!

Thank you for your further observation about the Camara. The one plus 12 is so stacked with features and little nuances that it'll take some time to unlock its true potential. This phone is truly amazing indeed for the price.

Not only it controlled the lights sources but manages to capture more details on the bricks and texts on the sign boards etc. good job. If they only improved the portrait shots in capturing more sharp details, then this phone would be hard to beat at the price.

Nice, good improvement for OnePlus

Thank you for sharing this video comparing these general photographs at night. I found my photos of a night time bonfire using the oneplus 12 to be exactly the same as it was in real life. Minimal to no flares and color accuracy is impressive

Thank you for this video. This is what us viewers are looking for from a Tech Reviewer. Honest, non-biased reviews.

Had my 12 since re-order and am blown away by how good it is for the money. My sister has an older Fruit phone and I was going to buy her a newer one to upgrade as a gift for her birthday but the price of even a low rent modern Fruit phone was more than I paid for my 12. Needless to say I didn't go there and she'll just need to soldier on with her Fruit ecosystem a while longer. I am one of those people who get a bit anxious when I spend good money for something, but my angst about spending disappeared in a month. This phone is just great for most people's needs. If you are a phone snob you can spend more for it. But if you are a serious user of a phone that performs above its price point on most areas, the 12 is a great deal.

Can you elaborate its video quality ability to maintain dynamic range and you should move around while making such videos

Can be tedious, but the best combo you can ever have is Oneplus camera system + Google camera mod for your specific Oneplus phone. Please try this. You don't have to post a vid or anything. Just experience this. Its worth it.

great video, which phone case is used in this video.

Saw this vid, got it a week ago, you are right, fantastic phone! and the battery life is amazing! Thx for the review!

Thank you for another great one! 👍

I am probably going to get this phone sometime this summer now that I have done a bunch of research over the last month. Because it has received so many positive reviews since its release, I have literally been waiting to see videos with the exact title "I Was Wrong About The Oneplus 12..." pop up, just so i could see the good and bad of the phone. In a huge surprise to me, the first such video I have seen is actually giving more praise and credit to this phone 😆

It would be nice if someone could take photos on the 12 with its launch software and take the identical photos again with the latest updates installed. If the software improvements have caused the phone to beat other flagships (running their latest software) this should be publicised.

You gave me my hope back 🎉 But what about the front camera still not very good? 😅

Great video, man! Because of your review, I got mine yesterday. It's a phenomenal phone. It's like using a phone between S24U and S24+. Lastly, the price to performance is hard to beat. Unless brand is important to a consumer. Kudos!

Thanks for this review!

One thing OnePlus has been doing very very well is controlling light source highlights in low light or noght time shots. This brand has been on top when ti comes to exposure control since their very early models like the OnePlus 5. And the most negative or drawback of this camera is the inability to capture sharp detailed faces of human subjects on portrait shots. I think it has improved a lot now but even with the last year model, the crisp facial details on portrait shots were always missing or less compared to its competitors like the samsung or iphone. They take very very detialed and sharp images of the subjects in portrait shots while OnePlus always failed to maintain those things. But we're seeing some positive changes and improvements now.

Got my oneplus 12 (Black) love it.

I'm afraid after few updates the phone is not stable. I remember during OP7 community on reddit got crazy after several unstable update. And the same time the CEO Carl also quit from the company and OP merge with Oppo department and also our open beloved OS software gone. Now I'm in a decision to try it again.

Nice video! I got the 12 in a rather unusual way....my OnePlus 7 Pro stopped charging due to its red cable getting frayed enough on the type c end to stop working. Tried another cable and that didn't work either....went into full panic mode as everything is on that phone and I don't backup. So, in my panic, I falsely assumed my battery went dead. Got a replacement battery kit w/tools for $20 and also sprung for a new phone, the OnePlus 12. Hadn't read any reviews just upgraded from a phone I enjoyed using, the OnePlus 7 Pro. The first thing I did was to take the new red cable and see if it charged my OnePlus 7 and, of course, it did. Bad luck for me for having two cables go bad at the same time. Remember, the most likely failure point is going to be the cable so always have a pristine unused cable on hand that you know will work. Upgrading from OnePlus 7 Pro to OnePlus 12 is quite a jump in quality features and I've been spending the last couple of days just getting into it. Lessons learned: * Buy a backup cable * Backup phone.

Im curious, do you still have the moving company?

Very rare to hear a RU-vidr, let alone a tech reviewer admit that they were wrong. The thing I like about the OP12 camera at night especially is that if there's a light in the shot, then the camera will capture the light itself and not get stuck on the light that the light is producing.

Because oneplus 12 is using sony that's why is good. Sony is the best in camera.

Very useful review, thank you.

Subbed for your fairness and objectiveness. 👍❤

On the reciprocal, the OnePlus 12 also deals with extreme glare very well. My GF and I are avid ice hockey fans and go to games quite often. She is a devoted iPhone user and is currently using the 15 pro max. Still, she borrows my 12 at games to take photos of the players on the ice surface. The hasselblad color science does a far better job of filtering out the extreme glare from the ice surface. For whatever reason, she cannot get the same result from her 15 pro max. When comparing photos side by side from each device the OnePlus 12 clearly does a better job.

I’ve never noticed the weird reflections from iPhone cameras before. Now I wanna know wtf is going on lol.

3:31 Not to take away how great the photos are, Oneplus' image also has a slight reflection of the sign "country road" just around the lower front wheels albeit being very faint. Just pointing it out.

Hi, I'm currently using a pixel 6. I'm tossing up between a Pixel 8 vs one plus 12. I lost hope withe samsung because the camera lag is real. Taking a photo of my kids moving I'm getting consistent shots on my pixel, samsung 23+ is blurred. I wanted to know if oneplus 12 also has that shutter lag for moving subjects. Also op12 is $720, and Pixel 8 256 is $530.

I think the OP12 is one of the best all rounders you can get in the US. Especially if you're looking for dual physical sim support (curved/flat display preferences aside).

Very informative and accurate video.. 💯

Apple's sensors are older inferior hardware.

I am using OnePlus 12 since February so far this phone is a beast.

I want to buy a good camera , espiecially in low light, one+12 is ok? I can buy Honor magic 5 pro, One+12 i the same money. Which is better in camera and overall. Thanks for help.

Can you please tell which software version the One plus 12 was having when taking these photos?

I can agree with these samples but I just don’t like curved screens.

Hello everyone. Can you please tell me how long the battery will last? I have 9+ and can't use it for more than 7 hours without charging. Any improvement for this model? Thank you

Everybody hates how phone reviews are just about the cameras nowadays

The lighter background generally is noise... The OnePlus 12 is oversharpened and overbrightened in those pictures. It is the night, after all.

I hope that the United States does not decide to cancel a great brand like One Plus, just as it did unfairly with Huawei when it saw that it was growing.

I have OnePlus 12 and iPhone 14. Granted, the 14 isn't quite the 15 Pro Max, but the night photos on the OnePlus 12 are spectacular. And then add the fast charging, incredible screen and so on and the result is, in my opinion, the best phone you can buy right now.

This smartphone is worth it, I really liked the design, I recently purchased One plus 12R (genshin impact Limited edition), and I’m simply amazed at how hard they tried to make this device)

Good video and I'll need to check it out

OnePlus 12 #1 love my phone

I saw a couple of sample photos comparing it to other flagships with night time photos and I immediately knew it was way better than others. Night photos are the only way to compare camera quality on the phones. And right now OnePlus is a leader at least in USA since we don't have some of those Chinese competitors in America like vivo, xiaomi etc. Overall iPhone is still the best because of the video quality, Samsung comes in for the Zoom features at second best and OnePlus might take over the whole thing next year if they add some better zoom capabilities and video quality.

Excellent honest camera review of the OnePlus 12. Your review helped me decide that I will definitely upgrade from my OP 9pro (great overall phone for me the past 3 years) to the 12 soon. Also, the battery life is second to none.

Now the One Plus is even with the camera updates it got couple weeks ago.

Wow! Im impressed with thia video. I noticed as i have had all 3 phones and definitely the OnePlus has better photos than s24 ultra.

You came with the heat on this one bruh.

I bought the One Plus 12 white colour , 512 GB from Trading Shenzhen site for £250 cheaper than in the UK.

Great video, sir

Hello what better s23u vs op12??

I have a OnePlus 12 and iPhone 15 Pro (not max). I often prefer the photos on the OnePlus, quite frankly

I have the S24 Ultra and my Brother the OP12 and yes. For less price it gives excellent results to fight the S24 Ultra. Sometimes i think i should have picked the OP12 😅.

Great! I would really like to buy one, I have the 9 Pro, but in Brazil it's impossible.

one plus 12 has a great camera only issue is the front video ony being 1080p

The thing with one plus is that many cant use it in the right way. One plus camera with Hasselblad is not just a camera you snap a photo right from your pocket, well you can do that but if you really take your time and learn about the master pro mode you can come out with pictures you would not even believe.

In my extensive personal testing, the OnePlus 12 has been the best smartphone photography (behind the Pixel 8 Pro, which I no longer have.) My ranking for phones I currently own: - OnePlus 12 - S23 Ultra - iPhone 15 Pro Max The detail that the OnePlus 12 captures is very good, especially from its 3x periscope telephoto.

You should try the vivo x100 pro

Watching on One Plus 12. Thanks!!

Obviously the OnePlus 12 is the best given its the cheapest by a long way.

You also compared 120 fps on one phone with 240 fps on another. I'm still wondering why

The mind boggling thing here is not that oneplus isnt as the top performer in some ascpects, its the fact that its being compared to phones way above its category

first I thought Morgan Freeman was doing the review 😂

Thank God and thanks bro. I bought 1 today.

Was your first camera comparison done with the latest update for the OnePlus 12 that added Master?

Good job, congratulations

The iPhone phots are slipping in quality, it seems that they are not trying to compete anymore.

Watching On My One Plus 12 😅

Waiting for my one 😊

Great video bro!

side by side regular pics are almost identical compared to the 24 ultra even in day light and sometimes even better time to time. Why can we not just say that? Why do people suck that Samsung and iphone D so hard, are you all paid or do youtubers feel pressure to not say anything negative about Samsung or Iphone?... Seen so many comparisons now and side by side when it comes to pictures it is just as good on One plus as it is for 24 Ultra. You are the first youtuber that has the balls coming out saying one plus is just as good in some cases. Other youtubers playing down the one plus for some reason, like they are in a damm cult for the samsung and iphone or something, fu crazy.

this is just the native camera, we can improve the camera experience with gcam.

Amazing ❤❤❤

I am Samsung man myself. However the one plus 12 to me is a great phone to take photos

Try any indoor shots op12 destroys the other 2 also try people portrait in anything but perfect lighting watch OnePlus destroy both

i'd say one plus 12 is the no contest winner between the 3. For 799, its UNBEATABLE at this price. hands down no debate.

Love my OnePlus 12 ❤

12 nin çekimleri bayağı iyi hepsinden iyi.

OnePlus is winning so far this year. Both the 12 and the Watch 2 are 🔥
