OnePlus 12 Review! Galaxy S24 Ultra Killer Is Here! 

Considering the OnePlus 7 Pro was around this price a few years ago, it's particularly compelling that OnePlus kept this phone around that price tag for the specifications on offer here. Google, Samsung, Apple...take note.

I hear the same thig every year "get a OnePlus because you arw paying a lot less for nearly just a good phone. Dont get me wrong hand me a oneplus 11 and on its own its a solid phone but once i compared it to my s23u there was a pretty big difference between build quality, software and camera.

The actual truth is that Samsung should have never allowed early reviewers access to their device without making it clear to those reviewers that they are using a pre-release patch on the device. The majority of Samsung's new devices were packaged and on their way to distribution centers. Engineers for Samsung are finalizing and optimizing the release update to be installed when devices are received by the consumers. . Comparing the Samsung phones to any other phones until this update is installed is not comparing apples to apples.

Why have other companies abandoned the IR blaster? It is definitely a nice thing to have if you travel a lot and have to stay at hotels

When you consider what you are getting the price didn't increase they just charged the tiers. 256 was 799 last year and it's still 799 this year. They just added an additional true of 512 for 100$ more

Bro talks alot but never told us why is better then 24ultra 😂😂😂😂

Best Buy has been selling Oneplus phones for a while, I remember buying the 9, 10 and 11 there. They are just expanding availability and visibility there

If it didn’t have curves it would be perfect. Curved screens are for the trash.

I did the somewhat unnecessary thing trading in my OnePlus 11 for the OnePlus 12 through OnePlus. The positives other than the improvements in the phone were the inclusion of a free high speed wireless charger and $420 trade in allowance. Was less painful financial transaction.

I have a OnePlus 9 pro and I love my phone. But, I couldn't wait for this phone to come out. I will definitely trade my phone, but I will wait for a few months (usually by summer they take a $100.00 off), just to make sure that there is no hardware issues etc. But, I am so excited for this phone especially with the new AI features.

Even with the Oneplus Hasselblad partnership their cameras will never be as good as Samsung, Google or Apple. Not impressed with that at all.

Curved display kills it for me. Hate them. Sounds like an amazing phone.

I'm stoked on the ability to use the screen when it is wet. I work outdoors and that is a super useful feature.

Chinese-made phones are unreliable and likely to break down soon, but the best phones are definitely the Galaxy and iPhone.

Says better than S24 ultra proceeds to start listing off all the things it doesn't have that the samsung does.

Oh look once again another click bait video.... Literally just put s24 in the title for more clicks..

It's a good thing I don't go off video titles anymore, Samsung 24+ is about the best thing you can get right now next to pixel then one plus. Hold a one plus until the battery degrades, it'll cost you especially if your not in a major city.

OnePlus got me back with this one. That 12R looks awesome too, especially for the price. I started out with OnePlus with the Invite only One, then the 3T, and finally the 5T. Loved them, but by that time, Samsung had finally cleaned up their software enough that I wanted to try them again. Been Samsung since (S9+, N10+, ZFold3, ZFold4) I plan on this one being my work phone, throw 2 sims in it, with another Google Voice number...Happy to be back, cannot wait to check it out! Cheers.

Cruved display is a deal-breaker for me

How is this a killer this video is more like click date bait

I almost hate to bump my 11 over to my secondary phone but, I think that's what's going to happen. As much as I love it I really would enjoy having a much brighter screen. As a legally blind low vision user that is very important to me.

Let's be real do you really need a phone to get that bright

In Canada , the S24 ultra is literally twice the price of the Oneplus 12 . With Bell Canada, 5G works just fine with the Oneplus phones . Lets just be honest , google track absolutely everything you do on a phone with google installed . But people keep saying they dont want a chinese phone because of tracking 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow, someone is not happy with Samsung! Intriguingly, It is the S24 Ultra killer but not the Pixel 8 Pro killer, despite being $300 cheaper than the Pixel 8 Pro. The Oneplus 12 looks like a fantastic phone, and I've previously owned many Oneplus phones. However, I'm not particularly fond of the OS and have concerns about timely updates-still no Android 14 on their most expensive phone, plus no trade-in value from anyone except OnePlus. Samsung made many improvements, and I watched videos of people who have the phone, and it looks good.-Plus, I'm an S Pen fanboy.

Nope, Oneplus is not Samsung, Google or Apple, they can make a great device but as much as I live the specs of their devices including their foldable device, the service and customer support is still a major in here in the States so no thanks, I got the S24 Ultra for the same prices as this Oneplus device after few promotions.

Damn, guess I'm getting the phone that got "killed" I'm weeping so hard. Gonna absolutely be sooo miserable with the 24 ultra 😂

Nubia z60 ultra is the real flagship killer this year easy!!! Snapdragon 3, 120hz display, no notch uninterrupted display, 80w fast charrger , 6000mah battery and far better camera for $650. Works on att. Beautiful desgin flat boxy phone!!! Ip8 water dust.

S24 ultra is best

Here in Europe we're stuck with all the taxes and the 16/512 goes for €968 currently, the S24 Ultra for €1,400. How is the 3x optical zoom compared to 10x of the S24 Ultra?

Take OP12 over a Pixel 8 Pro anyday. Free storage upgrade, Instant Rebate, 0-100% in under 30mins, Great Build, Extremely Bright Display, and Snapdragon 8Gen3. OP12 is a true value for money Flagship.

Every flagship killer to say it correctly

Please don't tell me you're basing this video on the camera because it's neither a samsung or iPhone killer based on those photos

The best feature of my s23 ultra is the system equalizer. It makes my iems sound way better. It has 9 bands (63, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, and 16k). Does the Oneplus12 have this feature? Can you please check?

I'm a Samsung girl all the way already ordered paid 650. and am happy to do it! But I love your videos!

No S pen, I actually use mine daily

Definitely going for S24 Ultra

Got my OnePlus 8T back after watching a video you made about them a couple years or so ago.. I couldn't be happier with it.

nothing kills Samsung flagship!

I preordered the black. Was hoping the white would be released too but whatev. The marble was too fancy looking for my style, lol. One hell of a phone for the price!

Does it allow you to use two cameras at the same time? Or allow you to switch back and forth between the front and back camera while videoing?

But most people had OnePlus from T-Mobile. A lot of people don't know about OnePlus still now. No advertising and now you have to buy it straight thought best buy. I think Carrier customers have the most flagships than non carrier customers because of the amount of straight out purchase. But my 7 pro is still in great shape even though it's just a stored device now for me.

I prefer to wait for Poco F6 Pro. It will be a flagship killer at a very good price

How much will they give you, if you trade-in a S-23U?🤔

Just sold my OP 11 with 512GB. Definitely gonna get this before i consider getting the S24 Ultra. Almost a year and the 23 U still going strong. Im gettin this tho. ❤

Just pre-ordered mine with the $50 off drop voucher. Hoping to make this my longest kept phone ever.

In samsungs defense they are offering like $900 for their old phones so they are pretty up there with the price too, in that sense

Regardless of the price difference, I'll stick to the S24 Ultra no questions. I believe OnePlus in Canada doesn't even get 5G if not mistaken. I'll go Pixel before Oneplus.

Im using a 6 T one since the beginning ,now is my second phone and still working flawlessly its a great brand.Ive already preorder the 12 Black 512

Looks like a good phone, especially the two day battery life. Still don't think the camera looks that good compared with the Pixel or iPhone. Lack of A.I is also a bummer but if you don't care about that stuff it's worth it at $799.

hey thanks for the video , but the link for preordered not working for me

The new water resistant screen touch is honestly a HUGE reason im upgrading to this from the 11. How is it? Does it work well? people arent talking about it much. Great review btw. Glad to see someone actually bringing in the good info. I couldn't find anything about the security patches

Are you going to do a review on the 12R? How do these work with a Samsung watch?

Loved my OnePlus 11 but switched to Xfinity and they don't support OnePlus. Otherwise, I'd buy this in a heartbeat

Curved screens are terrible. Just makes the phone fragile.

So I need a new phone. Both s24 and oneplus 12 each have features I like. If I can buy s24 ultra for same price as oneplus 12 should I go with that. I can't decide whice phone is better

I am not sure Samsung or its customer base are concerned. Good review though

Whoa, the image quality of your video stepped up. What are you using?

Does it have a desktop mode like the Samsung DEX?

There aren't any phones touching the Ultra, at least here in the West. The Ultra can do everything that other phones can do and more. The better comparison would be with the S24+.

Does the alarm still require two button presses to disable once set? Does it also now have samsung's smart custom track portion select for alarm rings?

I think the 7 years support is more useful for if you're getting the phone 2 or 3 years later after a price drop

I like OnePlus but ive never not had problems with them via Verizon. Constant bluetooth problems, service issues, always a hassle

Oneplus 12 is a GARBAGE in front of Galaxy S24

One thing to point out which swayed my choice was the AI gimmick of Galaxy. i dont know if it was worth spending all the extra money on, we will see

I find it interesting how Adam just kind of skipped over the price increase but has kind of railed on the S24 Ultra price increase. Seems like a great phone though. But still the S24 Ultra cameras are going to be master class.

I ordered one today. Not really a Samsung guy until the fold is improved. For that price and trade in if my 11 400.

Hey! Love your videos and your unbiased views. I was thinking of upgrading from my nothing phone 2 (its a good balanced phone, but not great at anything) and got bored of it. Was thinking of either the Pixel 8 or the OnePlus 12. I do not game, but i do like taking good photos. Which one would you recommend between the two? Both are the same price in my country.

In the longer run like after 5 years with basic usage, which is better? Samsung or one plus?

Hey dude, thanks for the video. Is the back glass or plastic? I know the green one has a glass back...thanks!!

Where did you hear these would be on display at Best Buys? I'm in Texas and they say they don't have displays.

Traded in my OnePlus 11 and saved closed to $500 which is a great deal..

Your link is not working

My first video S24 U just i get it. Buildguality is top 1. These china phones never get this feeling quality.

I just preordered from Oneplus, traded my Oneplus 9, and with the great trade in I paid 499.00. They threw in a wireless charger. And to think I almost ordered the S24 Plus, which would have been 899.00 with trade in. Sorry Sammy.

We will see about crashing apps and the phone restarting randomly

Undeniably this price tag is highly tentative for those top tier quality hardware spec and software features. It's like having a premium product for mid range budget price. 😎💯💪🏿👍🏿

Which one would you buy if it costs 1000 euro here in belgium for the 16gb ram and 512GB storage or the S24 Ultra 12gb ram and 512GB storarge for 1150 euro

I think they are moving to month security patches. Atleast on the Open, I've received an update each month. Currently sitting on the January patch

Does the back glass feel like the Moto Edge+ 2023?! That's the best feeling glass to me❤

I am new to the oneplus phones; I noticed on your phone screen it has Google's phone app; does this oneplus 12 allow the google phone features like call screening, like some of the Motorola phones are able to utilize?

How does the curve compare to the one on say the 7 pro? I'm really not a fan of curved displays, but if it's slight enough I might overlook it.

This looks like a fantastic phone! Super fast, great battery, blazing fast charging with a brick and cord included, great photos, and I'll be buying it for $599.99 with my trade-in! I love my OnePlus 11 but this one should be even better. Thank you for a great review. 😊

This one, or the Honor magic 6 pro? Which is the better choice?Lg from Germany

For the first time in 16 years I'm thinking about switching from Samsaung to OPPO. What will perform like with a Samsung watch?

If I wasn't so deep in the Samsung ecosystem (Book3pro360, galaxy tab) I would definitely get it

Oppo Ultra and Xiaomi 14 pro are killing the Samsung Ultra

If only One Plus would do better on their cameras.

Please do OP12r breakdown... Btw, u cannot apply student discount on pre-order & OP12r only has 3yr OS / 4 yr security upgrade (OP12 has 4yr OS / 5yr security upgrade).

Screen isn't 2600 nits like Samsung S24U. The waterproof screen probably won't be effective if you use any acreen protector. And if you like the rounded screen, thats fine, but you will definitely crack the screen the first time you drop it, and it is slippery.

Hows the video camera? Is it like the iPhone video camera?

Big OnePlus fan... Currently typing this on my OnePlus 8 pro and still going 💪. Had a 3T and sexy red 6 as well (please bring that color back 👍👍) Will be pre-ordering the 12 probably tonight or tomorrow. For the price and the upgraded storage you can't go wrong. After trading in my 8pro and with a $30 discount I will be able to get a brand new 12 for $560 👍 So many people get so hung up on the camera systems. I'm sure most would be happy with this setup. It basically comes down to Apples and oranges or Samsung's or Pixels and in my opinion I do not think there's a major difference. If you want to take professional style photos.... buy a professional camera. Otherwise in my opinion I think this gets the job done.

that Kevin James smile in the thumbnail lmaoooo 😂

IR Blaster just for Flossy Carter 😂

OnePlus ended after OP6/6T... Now OxygenOS is just a shadow of it's former glory... Im back to Samsung - waiting for the shipment my new S24 Ultra 1TB...🙂

Will it work on xfinity mobile?

Great video. I'm trying to decide between a pixel 6a or a iPhone 12. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

You going to do a Pixel 8 Pro vs OnePlus12?

In the uk the base black 12gb 256gb is £849 is over $1000 we get ripped off in this country

Samsung and Apple farmers are crying in the comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣

unless there is something special or magical going on with the digital zoom on these phones, i dont think it should be a "feature" because if i want to i could zoom in 1 trillion x (take a photo, zoom into it at max, take a screenshot and repeat) because its just digital zoom.
