OnePlus 12 Review: The BEST Phone of 2024? 

I returned my Galaxy S24 Ultra. Samsung forgot who its customers are and lost its identity. All they doing now is copying apple and lacking innovation. Bought a OnePlus 12 and not looking back. I appreciate the IR remote with built-in app, true extreme fast charging both with warp wireless and wired and the like galaxy performance. This is my phone for the next 3 years I til galaxy actually returns and Samsung gets their head out of their azzez 😂

If you are going to buy the phone outright IDK why you would get anything else. This phone is an absolute steal at $699

I got one from China, it's white and has 1TB 24gb ram, you can't find it in the west but you can get it with the global ROM installed and it comes at the same price you'd get the 16gb 512gb in the west. It's a definite steal!

so this year oneplus has done a good job. what many people need is there and it works very well, even better. It's a shame that in Europe the prices are much higher and the convenience is not so evident

I really like my OnePlus 12. For the price you can't lose. I'm thoroughly impressed. I returned the S24 Ultra for it and am glad I did.

Dont forget 2160Hz pwm of oneplus 12. For me (my head, my eyes) antoher big reason for this phone

Got the update and now have master camera mode. Guys this phone kills the 24 ultra. I sent mine back. The battery is awesome. The camera once you get the modes down. Man sweet shooter. This phobe all around just does it. No regrets. My sound is loud there sound modes. Running this on cricket no issues. And 80 watt charging. I could care less about the Ai.

All of you influencers need to stop giving s*** to the curved display. If you put it inside a case I love my current display phones. If every phone was the same we wouldn't need more than one brand and it would be like apple and I hate apple.

One of the best things about OP 12 Oxygen OS is that it is ad and bloatware free where other vendors such as Vivo or realme provide ads and recommendations in their software.

This is something you obviously don't understand and you haven't been following AI is coming to the OnePlus 12 it's already being released in China and will be coming to the United States in the next few months

Switching to my 6 years old phone OnePlus 6t to OnePlus 12 i very like it.

I traded in my galaxy fold 5 for this Oneplus 12 phone. I'm tired of the Samsung lag.

Great to have an IR blaster when you're in a hotel or an Airbnb so that you can access different inputs and so forth on the TV. It is a big help for those of us that travel. So you can bring your Amazon fire stick and watch whatever you want as opposed to having to pay for a hotel movies

Have not had an IR blaster since my note 3. Back in the day when Samsung used to include everything but the kitchen sink if you got a note device AKA Ultra lol

I just ordered that wood case, and I'm psyched about it. Loving this phone so far, also have a pixel 8 pro that I toggle between. Very happy that I went with this over the S24 Ultra

Hi nice review. Iam too enjoying the op 12

I agree with the phone of the year comments. Nothing can touch it. The display is the best and more reviewers should say it. Thank you.

The curved screen is the one thing I don't like about it. Perfect otherwise.

Phone of the yr is the S24 ultra not the one plus 12 😂🫠

This is the BEST phone I've ever had - I love mine !!!

You're looking at it backwards every other company is overcharging you for what one plus is giving you and they should be giving you

Oneplus is easily be the best value for money flagship phone of the year

Bro everyone is skipping over the most important feature the the frame boost and image upscale for games is worth the buy

Traded my s22 ultra for the black 16gb ram and 512 for $449 can't go wrong with that 🙌

The battery lasts 2 days and is charged in full in 23 minutes. Excellent camera and amazing screen.

Btw what case is that? Looks dope

Love this device only complaint is media player on Lock Screen and notification tray is trash. Compared to pixel and now one ui 6.1 it just look very outdated something from 2015 i think they can do better then this . Other then that the phone is amazing no other issues at all.

Yet cameras may be meh 😕, just wondering; are they DL

The case is Dope 🔥

Dude I need your wallpaper for my Oneplus 12

How many years will the One Plus 12 receive updates?

Great review man! I'm still rocking the still blazing fast 1+ 11

Remember, people. NO ONE complained about the S23 Ultra having CURVED SCREENS. And it was UNANIMOUS PHONE OF THE YEAR.

Got mine for $528 for the 512gig vairiant. Best choice ever

Here in Sweden they sell it for $1234,52.. Unsure why.. Anyhow In comparison of Fold5, I returned my 1+12.

Nice review. Love one plus again.

Where did you get that case!? Very cool! While it is a great phone One+ in my opinion made 3 major misguided "improvements" 1. The curved screen is lame and dated. Makes the phone impossible to hold without the bumper case (which should be included with the phone). 2. moving the volume button to the right side. WHY? now hit power button when trying to volume down or volume down when trying to hit power. STUPID! and 3. UNLESS I AM MISSING SOMETHING - WHAT IN THE HELL DID THEY TAKE AWAY NOTIFICATION LIGHTS WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF FOR? THIS IS A KEY FEATURE FOR ANY DAMN PHOINE. THIS SIMPLE LITTLE FEATURE IS SUPER IMPORTANT! i MEAN WHAT THE HELL? SO IF I LEAVE MY DESK AND COME BACK - I NOW HAVE TO PICK UP MY PHONE TURN IT ON AND CHECK TO SEE IF I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING NO LITTLE BLINKING LIGHT? THIS WAS ALMOST A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME - TOTALLY F'ED UP ON THIS ONE+.... Now you may think that I am a very shallow user in terms of proficiency, however I have spent years customizing every phone I have owned. This 12 is my latest upgrade to my rooted One + 6, which was a great phone. Aside from the curved screen which is simply a matter of taste, moving the volume button and no blinking notification light was a mistake.

Would you mind posting a link of where you purchased your case? 🙋‍♂🔗

Got my OP12 512gb at approx $600 by trading in my 4 year old OP7. Best decision ever. This phone has been continuously blowing my mind everyday since I got it.

I was rocking the S23 Ultra but wanted to try the OnePlus 12. I used it for about 2 weeks and then switched back to the s23 Ultra. I switched for 2 days and went back to OnePlus. This phone is just faster than the Ultra. Photos are good but not enough to compare. Oxygen OS just has few duplicate apps where Samsung has a whole suite. Battery life is better but the kicker for me is I charge my phone and take a shower or comeback in 20 minutes and it's fully charged. 26 mine from 0 to 100%. All phones should offer that feature.

I actually dont want super super fast charging . I rather keep battery longevity. No thanks im fine with 45 on my S24 ultra.

In fact, there is an update that was recently released in China for the OnePlus 12 that offers a number of AI features. Once more, that update will be making its way to the global market very soon. Frankly, I assumed something like that was going to happen. The Snapdragon 8 generation 3 SOC has full AI capability. An update with AI features seemed logical if not inevitable. The display is actually why I chose to upgrade from the 11. While I love my 11 and still have it, 4500 nits of brightness was difficult for me to pass up. As a legally blind low vision user, I'll take any and every advantage I can get. In addition, I am happy that OnePlus chose to stick with the curved glass design. Truthfully, I absolutely hate the flat screen slab Flintstone phones. They are very awkward to hold and they do not look anywhere near as premium. Personally, I'll take the ergonomic design of the 12 any day. By the way, an absolutely great case that offers a lot of protection without bulking up the phone is the Tudia Merge Grip. It looks great, offers a lot of protection and the grip surface reminds me a lot of the sandstone bumper cases that OnePlus offers. There was a time that I thought their cases were kind of boring. However, since they redesigned their lineup they are absolutely top-notch.

I personally think one plus did an excellent job in both hardware and software....i and for the AI feature how often do one use those features...there is always chat gpt one touch away which i personally use and think is the most useful one... i have used pixel for the past 2 years and could say those AI features like magic editors are most less used feature.

IR Blaster is a seriously underrated feature. It's really handy though.

🙌🙌🙌

How about vivo x100 pro? They're the same price from where I am from? What do you guys think? Thank you.

Wall pls share. Thank you sir

For the price it’s affordable. Love the review. Awesome wallpaper though 😎

Best case i have ever seen!

How to get this wallpaper?

Nice review. Can you share wallpaper link please?

Yup $699 just got it yesterday. OMG I'm loving it. Zero chance for me to return this phone. Funny thing is I enjoy The hectic engine when you typing.

Shame it's massively marked up here in Europe. I like the 12R as well, but it took is massive.

How is the curve screen compared to the pixel 7pro, is it slightly curved like the P7P?

I'm so happy I learnt your thought about this smartphone. Indeed OnePlus have evolved quite a bit and now they are direct competitors with Apple and Samsung. Great job on the review, Drew! ;)

This or Honor magic 6 pro

I dont know why but it looks cheap

Yeh, it's great, but I watched another video about OP12 saying that in bright daylight it's difficult to see what is going on on the screen. I still have a OnePlus 7 Pro, an excellent phone, but it seems that OP12 still has the same problem when watching the screen outside. So I'll skip the upgrade.

Damn curved screen 😭😛👎 hard to protect , screen glare , easily broken. Never again .

Man.. That case is so sexy it reminds me of bamboo backcover on OnePlus one I used to have.

It costed like 1,000 dollars in my currency, but yolo

Yes. So far, for sure. Waiting to see what ZFold/Flip 6 brings as well. But OP12 is nothing short of amazing. Yes..Absolutely get a case for the Black version. Slickest phone I've ever held. In operation & in hand feel. Poetic and Ringke make a great case for it.

Is that og walnut case? How does it look? Better than sandstone case?

I DON'T WANT THEM TO EVER GO FLAT SCREEN.

Watching from my much superior Xiaomi 14

Hey sir, Where did you get the case?

What abt the epic green line issues that one plus had it for a while in their previous line up …. I had one plus 5 t for a very long time…but then never looked at one plus again bcz of the green line issues …😢

Is this a OP12 wallpaper? can you give us a link please?

I'm trading in my 11 a lil worried about changing of button placement..it's due to get here soon. Just got buds 3 as well those are good.

I can't crown them yet but this phone is good, I am gonna get it but I'm waiting on Motorola to drop this year who were incredibly slept on last year with their flagship edge plus 2023... Great video by the way

Where is that case from? It looks great. I just purchased the phone but I’m having problems activating with Verizon

My wife returned the 1+12 2 hours after using it. She HATED it to be an understatement. We got her an s24 and she couldnt be happer.

сколько поддерживают они этот телефон? 2 года?или..

Curved display are not outdated because apple or samsung are not used them.. that cannot be taken as an argument , because oppo - (oneplus,realme) ,vivo,xiaomi - (redmi),motorola,honor and huawei still using them also for the flaships 😉

I really want that wallpaper...

Beautiful phone

I still like my curved edge on my OnePlus 12! No one wants to carry around a square block in there pocket.

that phone cover is fire man . where did you get it mate ?

can i use oneplus walnut case for wireless charging?

I was at Best Buy and finally had the opportunity to see this phone in person, sadly I found it to be too big and bulky. That's the only con I see besides the curved display. Didn't like the design as much as I thought I would. It's a powerful phone, yes, just not for me.

What wallpaper is on the phone the astronauts

Wallpaper link please

mate loving the video and loving my op12! where did you get that case ? Its awesome!

Can you share the wallpaper

Where can I get such wallpapers for my phone? Looks amazing!

2 months into 2024

I just don't like the global version compared to the chinese I regret changing from chinese to global I hate stock Android And oxygen is very stock in terms of apps No fun in google apps No video ringtone I don't know chinese but I had fun with the chinese rom, Is it true that changing the rom from color to global oxygen can cause screen issues like green lines?

Wallpaper link please

It'd be nice if you can provide link to the wallpaper in the description. Thx.

where did u get the case? oneplus?

I need this potch where I an buy 😊

Vivo x100 pro is better

Wallpaper?

Does it have the feature / option to hide the camera / center hole punch like on Samsung phones?

Great review! Out of curiosity, can you link to the wallpaper you are using?

Problem is that bigger RU-vidrs are payed for by Samsung and Iphone and that is clear when they always goes for them no matter how good the competition is

No! How could a phone with a silly curved display be the best phone of the year?!

This or the pixel 8 pro?

I know this sounds silly, but does RU-vid run well on it? I literally had to return a Oneplus 10T because everything ran smooth except for RU-vid. It's like even though the phone was programmed for 120 Hz, it felt like it was running at 60 Hz and was very choppy.
