Yes, apart from the flat display of the S24+, the OnePlus 12 is the better choice. It has faster charging; wired and wireless, 16GB/512GB for £100 less than S24+, a larger battery, brighter display, infra-red, charger and case in the box, better camera hardware, etc. Probably the best mid-tier flagship (£800-£1000) of 2024.
Are you sure there is a phone case in the box? I have ordered an OnePlus 12 yesterday but the aramid fiber bumper I wanted to order was out of stock. I haven't seen any phone case in the box in many unboxing reviews, I have received one with my OnePlus 10 tho. 😊
When I read, hear and see people comparing the OnePlus 12 to the S24 Ultra or calling it a "Galaxy S24 Ultra killer", it really makes me laugh. Why not Oppo Find X7 Ultra killer, or Vivo X100 Pro killer, Xiaomi 14 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max killer 🤔 Just because the OnePlus 12 doesn't play in the same category as the iPhones 15 Pro Max, S24 Ultra and other Vivo X100 Pro, the OnePlus 12 competes more with smartphones like the Xiaomi 14, iQoo 12, S24/S24+, iPhone 15 / 15 Plus... It's a very good smartphone, a very good deal under certain conditions, but it's not at the level of the Ultra High-End. 🙏🏽 Ps: it's only on paper that the OnePlus 12 has a brighter display than those of the iPhones 15 Pro and S24s, and realistically, with the offers and other discounts, in many markets, the OnePlus 12 is not cheaper than the S24 Plus and even the S24 Ultra.
Thanks for another objective review Matt. $799US is also the price for the base iPhone 15 but for those who aren't into the Apple ecosystem (like I am) the OnePlus 12 looks like it may be a viable option.
The battery and camera portions of this video really helped me decide not to upgrade from my OP11 to the OP12. The zoom capabilities and wireless charging aren't enough to justify it.
It's a big update. First the hardware, camera n charging then the software and performance has a huge difference too mann. I've myself upgraded it from 11 marble odyssey edition even tho i bought it with so much hopes.
upgrading phones like that is absolutely unnecessary in my opinion. i still have my oneplus 5 and i dont need to upgrade it (even tho the battery is doing really bad lately, like 4 hours at most)
@@LocksVid i had the same feeling with the introduction of oxygen OS 12 but it has improved immensely. Trust me current oxygen OS is damn smooth, clean and far better
This is how flagship should be offered. You got all around decent specs and also HAS A CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE BOX FFS, and a fast charger at that. Ridiculous how we are now used to paying 1000$+ for a phone with the most basic thing left out, and being forced to fork out another 50$ just for an ancient slow ass charger in NA.
End of video had me hurry my other reply. Bro. These are not all around decent specs. These are as good as specs get. Screen-check. Build quality e-check Hardware - check. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. What beats that in the Android space.? QHD+ display with a peak brightness of 4500 nits. Nothing out there beats that. Display is slightly larger than S24 Ultra. 6.84 inches. I know it is IP 65. But we have seen videos that show that it is IP68. If it were not. Those phones would not survive those test. But they do. My OP 9 wasn't rated. Buy it was. It had the gaskets everywhere they should be. And then I saw the video. Dude freezes the phone in water. Turns it back on the next day. The alert slider is unique to the phone. No other phone has it. Not even the iPhone has it now. 5400 mah battery. The S24 Ultra is sitting on the 5000. The performance is second to none. The charging speeds are much faster than anyone else in the states other than Motorola. By far. The wireless is faster than wired in all cases sans Motorola. I am not able or capable of reading your comment and understanding how you come up with "decent specs". They are the best specs the United States have ever had on offer. That's not an opinion.
I disagree with the charging block. Not saying they should eliminate it totally, but they should give an option to buy a multi usb charging bloc or get discount for eliminating the block. Mandatory charging block increase e waste if you already got multiple at home
@@TheAilmami disagree, they will make as many chargwer blocks regardless wether they come in the box or not, wether you have some at home or not. The only diference is they are making you pay for them seperatly. Also they make the charger blocks USB-C instead of regular USB basicaly making all the charger blocks useless with the USB-c at both ends cable they ship the phones with and thus making even more e-waste.
Using OP 11 for almost 10 months now pretty much satisfied, impressive battery charging speed helps a lot especially when you are busy busy which everyone is these days and no one would like to wait hours to charge phone like my wife has an I phone 13 and it literally takes lot of time to charge while I just need 20 25 minutes I phone had to wait for an hour and more
I got the OP11 and ya im not jumping to upgrade but the 11 and 12 show Oneplus is finally back. They are incredible good value and unique. Was boring only picking between Samsung and Google in NA. Competition is good to see
@@yensteel id definitely get the 12, Samsung design language is very boring for the s24. And performance/camera is so close with both of these. Screen and battery and charging better on OnePlus
i dont get why flat screen is more favorable to people. i like little curve at edges of the phone because i use swiping a lot and it feels awesome on curved screens and i use the case that my phone arrived with so no touching screen by mistake. also i like curved sides of the phone because the phone fits better in the hand (and thanks to htc one m7 it got popular). so as some one who holds the phone and swipes from sides (to go back) having a comfortable curved edge phone is way better than holding a brick with sharp edges and beautiful back behind its case. by the way i had a nokia 5 (first gen) for long time and it was one of the best phones to hold in hand.
I prefer the selfie in the corner because it's less noticeable when viewing media in landscape. I'm biased though because I never use it. I cant wait for the under display tech to get good enough for the mass market.
ordered this instead of the s24U. I had the 23U and now iphone 15 pro, but that oneplus 12 looks so nice and im in love with fast charging. AND it is so much cheaper than samsung and apple, Im getting the 512 gb for an 256 price, and the wireless 50watts charger for free, win win
I don't like the darker shadows on OnePlus 12. I want to see more detail. They need to fix this. And while I prefer flat screens, I also prefer rounded edges on the side of the phone.
I ordered one during early bird black Friday deals yesterday. Upgraded to 500gb. With $250 black Friday discount and $257 OnePlus11 trade in value, I'm getting a new phone that also supports super fast wireless charging for $430. Beat that if you can. Clone Phone will transfer all my data, settings, apps, and even desktop layout.
Love your reviews they always provide with the necessary details for the average user. I just got the oneplus 11 for $630 from best buy, upgrading from a 4 year old xiaomi and now I was feeling a bit jealous of the new 12 device but thanks to you I see there's not much difference and 11 is better in some ways, I will miss the IR blaster on my xiaomi and now I see the 12 has that!! but oh well.
Same here. 643$ after taxes. Are you serious. This was back in April 2023.! 643! With everything except two. I do not ever get my phone wet enough to actually need IP68 certification. And the wired charging is so fast that if I even dropped to 50. Like the 12 is capable of. It would seem slow like the S24 Plus I have. 45 watts is not fast. So I'm good.
5:50 fully agree. I bought a Samsung S9 back in the day and the curved screen got so annoying that I sold it and bought an iPhone 8. Curved screens are an interesting but ultimately useless gimmick. And you constantly get mis-inputs from your palm, and finger pads touching the sides while holding the phone. And while we're at it, keep the selfie camera in the corner, its much cleaner and less annoying to use when watching TH-cam or Netflix. It makes more sense to just throw it in the corner, because it's not really used for anything besides notifications or the clock. I hate the centered selfie camera. That dumb little hole punch really irritates me especially as someone who's literally never taken a selfie in my life.
Watching this video on my OP11 while the wife sets ups her new OP12. We love the high end specs, and ridiculous fast charging since I got the 120 watt charger.
5:59 why is this also the first thing I thought of, one time my English teacher got absolutely livid when we kept turning off the smartboard. He slammed a book on his desk and threw the door shut. Poor guy.
I just got the OP-11 yesterday upgrading from a OP-6T and now I am seeing this lol. Not much of a huge difference other than the higher storage & GB (limited promotion), slightly better camera (zoom-in and front), wireless charging and latest processing chip (SD Gen 3). Although the higher storage & 16 GB sounds nice, I never max out my storage. I do delete apps/videos/pictures as Google Play Store tells me I do not use them often, so not a big deal. The latest processing chip is mainly good for heavy phone gaming/remote play, but, I don't do much of that either. Overall, if anyone is considering the OP12 from a OP11 standpoint, it isn't worth it unless you have the oldest models (10 and below).
I've been using one plus phones for a long time and I've never had a problem with the curved edges. My 9 Pro is pretty similar the to 11 in shape and it feels perfectly fine in the hand. The majority of people seem to enjoy the curved edges which is why they keep doing it.
A couple of weeks back, I got my hand on the 12R, and I'm pretty satisfied. It doesn't sport the latest Snap Dragon Gen3 but is still fast and powerful enough for daily tasks.
I have the oneplus 9 pro and it is great. Camera is good too great, I was previously using a Huawei phone from 2017. What I got was brilliant. Sure the price was on par with phones in the premium
I havent like OP phones since the 7 pro, and I've had EVERY iteration since the 1-7pro. Stopped after that, coz they continued to play it safe. IMHO the 7 pro was the last time they did significant Innovation. But the 12 looks AMAZING! And I'm seriously considering getting it this year
You should, I have the 11 and the 12 is even battery. Full phone cooling chamber, fastest memory and storage, latest WiFi standard (iPhone 15 doesnt), much bettery battery tech and super fast charging (faster than any other brand)
The 11 had WiFi 7. The Gen 2 from Qualcomm. QHD+ display. Same camera island basically. If it was innovation you were waiting on. You are a year late. Matte black finish. No fingerprints. My phone looks brand new 10 months later. The screen does not scratch. Pulled the 1st screen protector off when it got a tad older and began to possibly scratch me. Display looks great. Been dropped from waist height 7 times. I can't find a single scratch. Not one.!
The IP68 certification means nothing to me. I don't practice getting my phone wet because I can. Ever. The wired charging is so much faster than 50 it would go unused anyway. Bright as I need display. Seriously. What did the 7 Pro have that 11 doesn't beside a pop up selfie camera. Alot of phones went with that in 2019. Definitely a year late. Plus I payed 643$ after taxes for the 256/16. The wait was over last March.
Personally, I feel the word "tacky" is inappropriate. Tacky is wearing black shoes with a brown suit. Lol. Still, I'm not overwhelmed with the pattern of the green. It kind of reminds me of kitchen tile. I really don't know what they were thinking. However, the silky black shimmers and it looks amazing. I would like to point out that the 9 and 10 Siri's phones were not terrible. They were just overpriced for what they were. I'd also like to point out that the front of the phone is victus 2 and not original victus. That is also another difference between the 11 and the 12. Once more, I have absolutely no issues with curved glass. It looks classy and very elegant. Besides, nobody in their right mind would own a glass phone and not put a case on it.
OnePlus 11 has a fantastic camera...BUT...the software jpeg processing over brightens, as you stated, and the pictures often look washed out compared to my wifes Pixel 7 pro. Tweaking the photo in Google Photos easily solves the issue though. Usually adjusting brightness and saturation will fix the issue.
I used to feel that way about curved displays until i realized that i don't have the luxury of having a phone without case. The case is mostly what your going to feel
I ditched the Pixel 7 for the OnePlus 11 after just a few months because the Pixel was a nightmare. I've had several OP phones and never been disappointed. The 12 looks really slick but I couldn't have stayed with the Pixel a day longer. I'm surprised I tolerated it as long as I did.
Using OnePlus 11 for last three months,great device it was with Oxygen Os 13.1 ,with SOT 9-10 hrs...After Updating to Oxygen Os 14,Images are soft and SOT has decreased significantly to 5-6 hrs.Oneplus should optimise it
Nice video and thanks for the comparison. For me, the decision is clear. I go for the 12. By, the way. You look like "Bushido" a really famous rapper from Germany, specially at 4:30.
I personally like the curves and for those that don't, you could always get a phone case, but if the phone is squared, it's harder to find a phone case that would accommodate users who prefer round edges!
Oh my but do we have different tastes! I love curved screens because they feel better in the hand and they aren't so sharp to hold. I just bought two OnePlus 12's for $599 each and we are upgrading from the OnePlus 11 which I'm using right now. I love my 11 enough that I'm keeping it, not trading it in, BTW. I suspect your many opinions will lower the "likes" on this video, along with the dreadful background music but I watched it all the way through anyway. 😄
I've got a one plus 8T, pretty close to it's 3 year anniversary with me, dropped in a bucket of fish water and went for a swim, only problem I've had is not enough memory, starting to run low, and the power button is gone 😢 So yeah time to upgrade to 512gb model, think I'll get the 11 after seeing this, cheers 👍🏻
As for the sound of the mic: the OP11 has a bit more of the low-mid freq's which makes for "muddy" and "boxy" sounding audio. The OP12 cut those freq's just enough to give Matt's voice better clarity.
Is VoLTE not working in Canada? 3G is getting shut down in a year so without VoLTE phone calls will stop working. I wanted to see your review since you live in Canada to check this and I can tell the VoLTE icon is off. 5G is supposed to work but no official word on VoLTE yet for Canada. Can you confirm if it's not available in settings or did you turn it off? Which carrier's SIM is it?
I kinda disagree with you on the curved edges part. I feel the curved edges make the phone easy to fit in the palm unlike the sharp edges of the Galaxy Ultra and iPhones.
This phone looks awesome I'm really considering upgrading from my Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung refuses to upgrade the features I want like larger battery capacity and faster charging; I've never owned a Oneplus before though would it be a good switch?
I don't get why you always say Apple chip is better ? better in what ? you need to do Antuntu Benchmark test to find the which is better in UX, CPU , GPU etc , geekbench is only tell 1/2 of the story.
I've had a oneplus 8 for I don't even know how long .. no issues here. If I ever upgrade it would be because I want to not need to.. it's a very good phone
Por lo que se puede apreciar, aunque para dar una opinión certera tendría que hacer yo mismo las pruebas teniendo ambos modelos, en cuanto a la cámara el Oneplus 12 mejora en el gran angular y en el Zoom pero por lo demás tampoco hay una gran diferencia. Ambos realizan un buen trabajo.
Just watched the keynote. I'm curious about the Buds 3 since I already have the Pro 2. The specs seem to be the same-ish besides the battery life. Also the lack of mentioning Hanz Zimmer and Dolby Audio has me concerned that it doesn't have it. Any thoughts? Love the kid in class comment. I would have definitely found that funny
And finally the inability of OnePlus phones to capture sharp detailed textures or faces of human subjects in portrait mode has been fixed. OnePlus never were able to maintain sharp crisp details on portrait shots, especially faces of human subjects. But now it is very much fixed and is capable to capture the crisp portrait shots like it's competitors. Well done. Now I want a OnePlus phone even more so. Have been using this brand for so long but was disappointed with the problem I mentioned. I can now feel confident with the portrait shots.
Sir, can you please make a camera comparison video (Specially night mode video and microphone) between Oneplus 12 and Samsung S24 plus. I’m a TH-camr. Need to upgrade my gears. I need to take a decision between these two. Thanks in advance.
Great Comparison I live in the UK and currently here the 12 is retailing for £800 and the 11 for £520 So big Difference in Price I Currently have a Samsung A35 but My Mother wants it so I have to get another Device so was wondering will the 11 be a better buy than the A35?
@@Princeton_James basically the incredible pre-order deals is tempting. An free upgrade to 16gb ram an 512gb. Thinkphone is solid but moto is pretty slow with the os upgrade to android 14. Not a deal breaker but they are slow with updates. I'm surprised thinkphone is actually getting the monthly security updates.
I have the one plus 11 and a Pixel 7 Pro. The Oneplus 11 's screen is pretty dim at max brightness compared to the Pixel 7 Pro in general usage. Do you think the Oneplus 12 is a lot brighter than the 11 and even the Pixel 7 Pro?
Apart fromt he curved front screen, when you hold a phone with a curved back in your hand it's much nicer. The OP12 feels much smaller than even a base iphone or S24 because of the curved back, and much easier to use one handed. My iphones sharp edges have given me a noticeable bump on my little finger lol

You're good! Op11 is great enjoy the phone
what about display? aren't they same?
I've been using one plus phones for a long time and I've never had a problem with the curved edges. My 9 Pro is pretty similar the to 11 in shape and it feels perfectly fine in the hand. The majority of people seem to enjoy the curved edges which is why they keep doing it.
A couple of weeks back, I got my hand on the 12R, and I'm pretty satisfied. It doesn't sport the latest Snap Dragon Gen3 but is still fast and powerful enough for daily tasks.
I had the OnePlus 7 McLaren a few years ago, switched last year from iPhone 14 Pro to OnePlus 11. OnePlus REALLY killing it with both of these phones.
No let's NOT get rid of the curved edges. Not a big fan of a pointed triangle constantly poking into my palm. Thanks for your opinion though
I have the oneplus 9 pro and it is great. Camera is good too great, I was previously using a Huawei phone from 2017. What I got was brilliant. Sure the price was on par with phones in the premium
I have a Oneplus 11 and I wanted to upgrade to 12. After seeing this clip, I changed my mind :)) Thank you!
dude you're always fast with tech . first the scar18 and then this . good one :)
Thanks for watching!
I havent like OP phones since the 7 pro, and I've had EVERY iteration since the 1-7pro. Stopped after that, coz they continued to play it safe. IMHO the 7 pro was the last time they did significant Innovation. But the 12 looks AMAZING! And I'm seriously considering getting it this year
You should, I have the 11 and the 12 is even battery. Full phone cooling chamber, fastest memory and storage, latest WiFi standard (iPhone 15 doesnt), much bettery battery tech and super fast charging (faster than any other brand)
The 11 had WiFi 7. The Gen 2 from Qualcomm. QHD+ display. Same camera island basically. If it was innovation you were waiting on. You are a year late. Matte black finish. No fingerprints. My phone looks brand new 10 months later. The screen does not scratch. Pulled the 1st screen protector off when it got a tad older and began to possibly scratch me. Display looks great. Been dropped from waist height 7 times. I can't find a single scratch. Not one.!
The IP68 certification means nothing to me. I don't practice getting my phone wet because I can. Ever. The wired charging is so much faster than 50 it would go unused anyway. Bright as I need display. Seriously. What did the 7 Pro have that 11 doesn't beside a pop up selfie camera. Alot of phones went with that in 2019. Definitely a year late. Plus I payed 643$ after taxes for the 256/16. The wait was over last March.
Personally, I feel the word "tacky" is inappropriate. Tacky is wearing black shoes with a brown suit. Lol. Still, I'm not overwhelmed with the pattern of the green. It kind of reminds me of kitchen tile. I really don't know what they were thinking. However, the silky black shimmers and it looks amazing.
I would like to point out that the 9 and 10 Siri's phones were not terrible. They were just overpriced for what they were.
I'd also like to point out that the front of the phone is victus 2 and not original victus. That is also another difference between the 11 and the 12. Once more, I have absolutely no issues with curved glass. It looks classy and very elegant. Besides, nobody in their right mind would own a glass phone and not put a case on it.
I miss the OP7 Pro pop-up selfie cam. There were a few times it let me know that someone hacked into the phone and was trynna see me.
OnePlus 11 has a fantastic camera...BUT...the software jpeg processing over brightens, as you stated, and the pictures often look washed out compared to my wifes Pixel 7 pro. Tweaking the photo in Google Photos easily solves the issue though. Usually adjusting brightness and saturation will fix the issue.
I used to feel that way about curved displays until i realized that i don't have the luxury of having a phone without case. The case is mostly what your going to feel
I ditched the Pixel 7 for the OnePlus 11 after just a few months because the Pixel was a nightmare. I've had several OP phones and never been disappointed. The 12 looks really slick but I couldn't have stayed with the Pixel a day longer. I'm surprised I tolerated it as long as I did.
Lol what was so bad about the pixel
Using OnePlus 11 for last three months,great device it was with Oxygen Os 13.1 ,with SOT 9-10 hrs...After Updating to Oxygen Os 14,Images are soft and SOT has decreased significantly to 5-6 hrs.Oneplus should optimise it
Nice video and thanks for the comparison. For me, the decision is clear. I go for the 12.
By, the way. You look like "Bushido" a really famous rapper from Germany, specially at 4:30.
Thanks for watching Chris! I just looked him up. Maybe a bit around the eyes there are some similarities.
Thank you for this comparison video. Now Im not that envy for the 12, I got my 11 and it will be fine for a while.
I personally like the curves and for those that don't, you could always get a phone case, but if the phone is squared, it's harder to find a phone case that would accommodate users who prefer round edges!
Hey Matt, how do you like the fingerprint sensor on the 12? Is the one on the S24 better?
Oh my but do we have different tastes! I love curved screens because they feel better in the hand and they aren't so sharp to hold. I just bought two OnePlus 12's for $599 each and we are upgrading from the OnePlus 11 which I'm using right now. I love my 11 enough that I'm keeping it, not trading it in, BTW. I suspect your many opinions will lower the "likes" on this video, along with the dreadful background music but I watched it all the way through anyway. 😄
I have an S23ultra and S22ultra, was thinking of trading the S22 ultra for the One Plus 12...any thoughts on that?
Go for it!
Very smart idea 1+12 is amazing looking & you'll have fun with the different UI
I've got a one plus 8T, pretty close to it's 3 year anniversary with me, dropped in a bucket of fish water and went for a swim, only problem I've had is not enough memory, starting to run low, and the power button is gone 😢
So yeah time to upgrade to 512gb model, think I'll get the 11 after seeing this, cheers 👍🏻
Hi Matthew , could you suggest me a compact (eg:6.4inches) smartphone with good performance and fast charging although i don't prefer samsung.
Hi Matthew, Please compare the oxygen os vs color os. I'm pretty confused whether they're finally merging the two OS. Thanks as always
They are pretty much the same.
As for the sound of the mic: the OP11 has a bit more of the low-mid freq's which makes for "muddy" and "boxy" sounding audio. The OP12 cut those freq's just enough to give Matt's voice better clarity.
Currently watching this on the one plus 12 🔥🔥
Front Facing looks better in OnePlus 11 than 12
I'm typing from my OnePlus 9 so naturally my next phone will be the 11 or 12 it's just the better choice,wayyy more for less and pure performance
Oneplus 11’s camera looks better hands down
It does. The selfie camera and the building looked way better and natural.
Great video! I quite liked the phone. Can you share the wallpapers?
Thanks!! The wallpapers are from the backdrop app
Upgrading to my OnePlus 6t to my new OnePlus 12 I'm happy for this phone😊
Is VoLTE not working in Canada? 3G is getting shut down in a year so without VoLTE phone calls will stop working. I wanted to see your review since you live in Canada to check this and I can tell the VoLTE icon is off. 5G is supposed to work but no official word on VoLTE yet for Canada. Can you confirm if it's not available in settings or did you turn it off? Which carrier's SIM is it?
I kinda disagree with you on the curved edges part. I feel the curved edges make the phone easy to fit in the palm unlike the sharp edges of the Galaxy Ultra and iPhones.
Slightly rounded edges with a flat display would be the right move.
This phone looks awesome I'm really considering upgrading from my Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung refuses to upgrade the features I want like larger battery capacity and faster charging; I've never owned a Oneplus before though would it be a good switch?
I mean S22 Ultra is still a great phone. I'd probably save the money and wait another year
I don't get why you always say Apple chip is better ? better in what ? you need to do Antuntu Benchmark test to find the which is better in UX, CPU , GPU etc , geekbench is only tell 1/2 of the story.
I've had a oneplus 8 for I don't even know how long .. no issues here. If I ever upgrade it would be because I want to not need to.. it's a very good phone
Ultimate camera comparison oneplus 12 vs s24 ultra vs iphone 15 pro max
Curved display looks and feels so much more premium that all the rest of flat displays
specially for gestures
Agree
Upgrading the oneplus 8 pro to this one would be the real deal?
Hello Matthew, Great comparation 👍. Please keep up the excellent task - Thank you.
I have a OnePlus Nord 2020. Should I buy a Nord 3 for $300, 11 for $650 or the 12 for $1200?
Battery drain on the stress test on the 11 was actually worse than the 12 (from 64% to 51%)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊
Should i get oneplus 12 in exchange of s22 Ultra?
Por lo que se puede apreciar, aunque para dar una opinión certera tendría que hacer yo mismo las pruebas teniendo ambos modelos, en cuanto a la cámara el Oneplus 12 mejora en el gran angular y en el Zoom pero por lo demás tampoco hay una gran diferencia. Ambos realizan un buen trabajo.
Just watched the keynote. I'm curious about the Buds 3 since I already have the Pro 2. The specs seem to be the same-ish besides the battery life. Also the lack of mentioning Hanz Zimmer and Dolby Audio has me concerned that it doesn't have it. Any thoughts?
Love the kid in class comment. I would have definitely found that funny
I've always loved the OnePlus brand, may be grabbing this or the 12r, I feel u get more phone for your money
And finally the inability of OnePlus phones to capture sharp detailed textures or faces of human subjects in portrait mode has been fixed. OnePlus never were able to maintain sharp crisp details on portrait shots, especially faces of human subjects. But now it is very much fixed and is capable to capture the crisp portrait shots like it's competitors. Well done. Now I want a OnePlus phone even more so. Have been using this brand for so long but was disappointed with the problem I mentioned. I can now feel confident with the portrait shots.
Thank you now I have decided not to upgrade from One Plus 11 to One Plus 12. Thank you
What better buy s23u vs OP12??
Awesome content and video comprision as always Sir
Thanks again!
Tx matt for ur nice review
My pleasure!
I have One Plus 9 - should I buy the 11 for cheap or the 12 more expensive one?
5:52 Curved Display is Risky Display, if The Phone Drop From Curved Side,
Phone Display Out of Work
Are they both curved edges?
Or just the 12?
i like both wallpapers on the phones.. where can i find them?
I am using oneplus 10 pro currently, should i upgrade to 12 ?
Still using my One plus 8pro
Brilliant phone
To those people who are comparing it to iphone 15
120 hz display
6.8 inch 2.5k display
Telephoto lense
I mean how is it even comparable.
It's very, very tempting to trade in my iPhone SE2 and go back to Android while saving $100 too.
Sir, can you please make a camera comparison video (Specially night mode video and microphone) between Oneplus 12 and Samsung S24 plus. I’m a TH-camr. Need to upgrade my gears. I need to take a decision between these two. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for an objective review
My pleasure!
Is it worth putting 200 more dollars for 1+ 12.
Still going to keep my op11 for probably 2yrs
Great Comparison
I live in the UK and currently here the 12 is retailing for £800 and the 11 for £520
So big Difference in Price
I Currently have a Samsung A35 but My Mother wants it so I have to get another Device
so was wondering will the 11 be a better buy than the A35?
Big enough upgrade over the Moto thinkphone?
Love my thinkphone. Depends on what you're issues are with the thinkphone. What are you looking to gain?
@@Princeton_James basically the incredible pre-order deals is tempting. An free upgrade to 16gb ram an 512gb.
Thinkphone is solid but moto is pretty slow with the os upgrade to android 14. Not a deal breaker but they are slow with updates. I'm surprised thinkphone is actually getting the monthly security updates.
Awesome review❤
It is much better than the one plus9 pro?
Would the 12 be an upgrade coming from an Exynos S22 Ultra?
Yeah
Just got one for £390 from ali express with global rom 👍
Oneplus 12? What do you mean by global rom?
I have the one plus 11 and a Pixel 7 Pro. The Oneplus 11 's screen is pretty dim at max brightness compared to the Pixel 7 Pro in general usage. Do you think the Oneplus 12 is a lot brighter than the 11 and even the Pixel 7 Pro?
Yes just 50 percent brightness is enough for me compared to op11 80 percent
Apart fromt he curved front screen, when you hold a phone with a curved back in your hand it's much nicer.
The OP12 feels much smaller than even a base iphone or S24 because of the curved back, and much easier to use one handed. My iphones sharp edges have given me a noticeable bump on my little finger lol
Hi i was wondering how much 12 is faster in performance compared to 11? Asking when your opening common applications, is it barely noticeable?
I am watching it, on my oneplus 11 and I am getting my oneplus 12 very soon.
But. Curved edges make it feel more comfortable
sometimes they do but if they're too thin due to the back being curved and front its not as comfortable
If you let the OS slide, this is the OnePlus we know and love.
I don’t like their camera layout time to change that layout, but it’s a good phone
