OnePlus 12 (Silky Black, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage)

I rarely buy flagships, and much less on pre-order. I've seen several flagships come and go as I used my OP 6T on and off since 5 years. I've always been an LG fan and have used their phones almost exclusively until I was forced to use a second hand 6T as my main phone after my Velvet started to slow down after a year. Now 6T was an excellent model of OnePlus when it was riding the crest of flagship killers. What a worthy phone and still going strong even after so many years. I had to consider a new phone after my heavy app usage started to take a toll on this unit. The battery backup was still decent, but with a shattered back, I was hoping for a decent good-bye to this well used work horse. When OP12 was announced, something stirred in me like never before. Mind you, I've never batted an eyelid when so many models of OP and other heavyweights like Samsung, Vivo etc were released all these years. The Nothing phone 1 briefly seemed like a choice I'd make in a perfect world, but with their second model, they seemed to be making the same mistake that OnePlus had started making from their OP 8 onwards- price hikes based on previous success and average-ish features. And Nothing went by the no-charger move as a new phone company, parroting the big wigs and I dislike the hypocritical arguments these brands give. If you truly are a sincere, nature-conscious brand, you'll want every customer to get the fast charging brick and a bonus case with your phones, not just a bare-bone phone and claim environmental claims, when in fact separate packaging of charging bricks costs more to the environment and landfills. Anywho, the OnePlus 12 had the features that not only made me notice them once again, but they also packed everything in it with premium features second to none, and also offered generous exchange bonuses and EMI discounts...now that's what I call the return of this brand. Finally, somebody got serious on their board and started to think of value more than profits. I got a whopping 9k for my shattered 6T and a neat 5k in EMI discount. The phone effectively cost me about 54k, a steal for the specs of this flagship. Everything from unboxing to using the phone has been a joy. Almost every day I discover something nice. Many thoughtful features on the 12 have made me feel nostalgic as I reminisce about the good old feature-packed LG phones of a not-too-distant past. And of course, the camera is the sweetest thing here on the 12! What a pro-level experience for both novices and seasoned camera enthusiasts! Now I'm no professional, but for my untrained eyes, every picture looks perfect and videos are as fluid and crisp as any high-end camera out there. OnePlus has gotten one word back into their dictionary again- generous. From giving a 100-watt charger, a case to almost every high-end spec under the hood for a steal, now that's called being generous and then some. Many of the UI features are also in the OP11, so very early on, I learnt the hidden tricks and features of the 12 by devouring videos about the 11. Battery is an all-time high for a flagship and the backup is excellent. I go for 2 days on a single charge. I'm not a gamer, but I imagine you'll squeeze out a lot of juice from this baby and it will still not run dry. I still use the 6T's fast charger and have reserved the 100-watt beast for travel. I'm in no hurry at home :) All in all, this has been the best purchase in 5 years for me. I'm so glad I waited and hit the jackpot with the 12. If OnePlus continues this winning formula of value over profits, they'll be crowned "flagship killers" once again and rightfully so.

OnePlus 12 Pros and Cons Pros: ✔ Powerful Performance – Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, ensuring smooth multitasking and gaming. ✔ Stunning Display – 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate and high brightness for an immersive experience. ✔ Excellent Battery Life – 5400mAh battery with 100W fast charging (wired) damn I loved this fast charging personally and 50W wireless charging. ✔ Improved Camera System – 50MP main sensor with Hasselblad tuning, better low-light performance. ✔ Premium Build Quality – Glass and metal design with IP65 water and dust resistance. ✔ OxygenOS Experience – Clean, fast, and close to stock Android with regular updates. Cons: ✖ No IP68 Rating – Unlike some flagships, it has IP65, meaning limited water resistance. ✖ No Periscope Zoom – Lacks a 10x periscope zoom like some competitors. ✖ Software Updates – While improved, OnePlus still lags behind Samsung and Google in long-term support. ✖ Price Increase – More expensive than previous OnePlus models, nearing premium flagship pricing. Verdict: The OnePlus 12 is a fantastic flagship with top-tier performance, an excellent display, and fast charging. However, it lacks some high-end features like an IP68 rating and periscope zoom. If you want a premium phone with a near-stock Android experience and fast performance, it’s a solid choice.

Looks premium, charges like a dream, works almost as promised but struggles when you use heavy multimedia apps or video editing like VN editor. The phone does really well in natural light but absolutely struggles in artificial light especially yellow light. The photos in portrait mode is a big upgrade, but the videos need skill to handle and make it look professional. The audio quality is decent and battery life on wifi is not very satisfactory. But anything past one plus 7t this is an upgrade in the camera and video department especially the Zoom it provides. I've been a One plus user since 9+ years and have tried 7 different phones in our family. The one thing is the software is really stable and there is very little lags on general use. The promised can use touchscreen on rain or droplets did not work for me on this phone is quite a dampener. Since I work with big cameras, found the ergonomic grip also quite ok.

Respectable Mobile, i love it

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته تم تجربة الجوال لمده 6 أشهر والجوال يستاهل كل فلس أندفع فيه جوال خفيف ، سرعه في التحكم ، بطارية ممتازه ، دقه شاشه محترمه ، وشكل جميل .. وأيضًا لاننسى قيمه ممتاز مقابل الاداء الي يقدمه الجوال من كل شي . أشكر ون بلس بالعربي على خدمته المميزه

Works smoothly. Battery charge is lightning fast! And lasts two, three days despite watching YouTube videos all the time. Have been an iPhone User till now. With this device, I have found new meaning for the term 'Value for money'! And a much larger screen! Takes brilliant and crisp pictures at night!

Started from OnePlus 6 and kept upgrading until OnePlus 12 (16GB/512GB) and it's really great. Even the old ones. I'm still keeping them too. Really, all of these are still the best in its category. Love you OnePlus.

Dopo anni di low-middle Phone ho voluto comprare questo OnePlus perché bisogna provare qualcosa di più performante. Schermo fantastico,colori regolabili nelle impostazioni,suono meraviglioso con Il Dolby Atmos. Wi-Fi 7 con Iliad è una scheggia. Ricezione ottima e chiamate che si sentono molto bene. In ambito gaming molto fluido, grafica in base al gioco,ottima. Batteria che dura una giornata con utilizzo dei social, YouTube, giochi ed ascolto musica, si arriva a serata con il 20%. Foto molto belle e nitide, l'implementazione dell'utilizzo della IA per la modifica è molto utile, soprattutto la funzione Rimuovi Persone. Video stabilizzati e in 4k 60 FPS o 8k 30 FPS. Consigliato a mani per me per chi cerca qualcosa di più e meglio.
