      Well, now I'm dumping this Motorola Edge + 2022 as I'm not happy at all with this phone ( though I will miss Dex ) .
      OnePlus site currently offers it for $799.00. Plus $120.00 if I trade in my LG V60 ( should I?? ) and an additional $30.00 coupon for registering on OnePlus - so total cost is $649.00 plus tax - FOR 16 GB OF RAM AND 512 GB OF STORAGE!
      How can I pass on it? Gotta get accustomed to Oxygen - is this gonna be a long learning curve Juan?

    When I did MKBHD's blind camera comparison, One Plus Open and One Plus 11 were my photo winners. It does seem like lots of reviewers focus on specs and if the phone is Apple or equal to it. Not many actually seem to test the phone and use it. I wish more reviews were more practical like yours. Thank you!

      Thanks for that. I really feel we're at a point where the processing differences between premium phones aren't "problems" but differences in how the cameras are handled. Someone saying they can't good photos out of OP is telling me, they didn't get familiar with the cameras.

    Yes, most youtubers never even try to learn how the camera works. It either works like iphone (point and shoot with nobrains on) but OP cameras have always been really really good if you have used hours and hours to learn the how it functions the best. That is like basics of photography, you dont buy a expensive camera just to point and shoot...

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +85

      I've said this in previous videos, but it's like you took a successful wedding photographer who shoots on Canon, and on the day of a wedding, swap their gear for Sony. Tech "reviewers" act like that's a camera problem that it's not "good enough", when really it's a user issue.

      That's just how most people want to take pictures. People just let the software do the work. Pixel phones had great pictures even though the first couple of generations had only one camera: the MP wasn't even high on it. It all depends on the user. If buying a Oneplus and configuring the camera setting works for you then you do you. It's all about convenience and that's why either most people just buy a Apple or Samsung phone. LG smartphones had great cameras and settings and were priced lower as well but the general public didn't buy too many LG phones. LG eventually shut down their mobile division and stopped selling smartphones.

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      That's not what I'm saying. Take five phones out of your pocket and JUST push the shutter, and you get five different images, with different metering and different processing. The user who lives with any ONE of those phones will build an expectation on what that phone does to an image, and they'll start composing for that at an instinct level.
      It has nothing to do with the weak argument that techies like to throw in, that somehow pros are always "fiddling" with settings.
      I am specifically talking about the user experience as it relates to auto modes. The user builds an expectation, and when a new phone turns out a result that the user wasn't expecting, they will likely blame the phone. That's incorrect. It's a user familiarity problem.

      I'm with you. I preordered the OnePlus 12 and traded in my 10 Pro. I've owned the 8 Pro, 9 Pro and 10 Pro skipping the 11. My only real disappointment is the IP rating. I feel like the selfie cameras on OnePlus phones used to be a bit of a wart but not now with the 12. I've always been fine with the camera experience otherwise and feel like they have always been underrated. I notice a wider range of opinions from reviewers about their cameras than other brands. But I've always been about the OS speed, the screen, battery and charging speed. They always deliver on that and seem to bring even better performance post launch. One of the first things I do with a new OnePlus is try it out in my car and see if Android Auto has less errors. I noticed a jump in Spotify sound quality and Android Auto usability from using a Samsung Galaxy 10 Plus to going to a OnePlus 8 Pro one year. You always find the best unsung aspects of these phones and highlight them. I intensely look forward to your future coverage of this phone.

    • @SomeGadgetGuy

    Been a happy OnePlus customer for nearly a decade. My first gen Nord i got as a company phone is out of support and i really wanted to get back into the flagship game, but not at any cost.
    The 12 brings back what OnePlus used to be the kings at, competing with phones way higher up the market at way lower prices.
    I really enjoy OxygenOS even after it's 'ColorOS' updates, and it never grows old having a phone most people don't know about, that is insanely capable.

    Cool review! Quite informative. So with big Samsung disappointment this year with no real update and return to Exynos in my region this Oneplus, Vivo and others are imho way to go. Would be however interested in video output to external monitor (any 3rd party or insider option for desktop mode??) and whether I can wirelessly cast screen to Samsung smart TV as I can with my Galaxy S23+ (I don't mind if 3rd party app is needed for that)?
    And how about build quality - there's been some back panel sealing quality issues reported on the chinese version of OP12?

    Love your take on all of this.
    My move from OnePlus to pixel 7 got me to experiment with super battery saver on pixel and I get 8, 9, 10 hours of screen on time.
    So I've almost retired my OnePlus 8 t but yes I miss the louder speaker and the FAST charging! (And the cooler operationing while fast charging while running two apps in split screen.)
    My pixel does very well in low light and by simply clocking the shutter, but I miss how I played with settings like color temperature for sunsets on my OnePlus phones. Also OnePlus seems to have data within the photos that responds very well to boosting saturation etc in post processing.
    I sorta miss that.
    I've tried to convince myself that I'm done with OnePlus, but getting a quality zoom with large sensors on wide and main and vooc now I'm off to OnePlus's website.
    Oh by the way, I've been hoping to mention the app super display to use tablets as external monitors (retaining touch and pen input) even though I have a lenovo tablet with HDMI in, I never use it because of super display allowing touch and pen.
    I even have two external displays (one touch enabled) super display takes the finikyness out of the cabled connection. (But super display also works cabled)

Better screen due to more BIT colors and smoother scrrolling due to their new tec and much brighter. 3. CPU has been showen better in many benchmark tests here on TH-cam. 4. Face onlock is way faster and does not lack in miss readinga.... Basically This phone is better in all the areas that really matters.... Samsung still have a better camera tho if you are into that sort of things and some gimmic things that really doesn't matter..... It's pure crap by Samsung to have a phone like that with that price when you can get this.

    Wireless charging is so convenient *if your car has a wireless charger and you can simply place it there when you get into the car*. I have a wireless charging stand (for my Oneplus 8 Pro) at my desk but usually just plug it into a fast charger there anyway. So I agree with you there, but there are some killer use cases for wireless charging. Ordered the Oneplus 12 this morning.

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The smart tracker thing is maddening. This is a MASSIVE problem for Android that Apple made for us, and is refusing to fix. Until the Google network goes live, we're going to be in a holding pattern, and the google network wont go live until Apple updates the iphone, which they aren't doing as that allows them to keep promoting airtags.
      I would highly recommend people send notices to the FTC (or your local regulatory body) over anti-trust and anti-consumer concerns.
      I don't believe the samsung tags will work with any other phone. I'm recommending people wait, and switch over to a 3rd party like chipolo or pebblebee when Google's network goes live, hopefully later this year.

    Thanks for your fun, candid and detailed review of the OnePlus 12. I stumbled across OnePlus about 3 years ago with an 8T...late to the game, I know :-). I own a cell phone repair and sales store, and have owned all the main brands across the past 10 years, and some of the less well known too, like Xiaomi, Huawei, Motorola, LG, etc... even Asus and ZTE. My current OnePlus 9 Pro is my favorite phone ever! Smooth, dependable, useable, and gives me all I really want in quality and performance. And, I just ordered my own OnePlus 12. I can't wait... :-)

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So many techies hold up the OP7 pro as the peak OP device, but for my money, the 9Pro was the best device OP had made.
      If you.liked the 9 you're in for a good time with the 12. It feels like a return to that kind of premium phone.

    Hey Juan, since you are one of the only techtuber that actually care about desktop mode on Android, how does this fair? I want to upgrade from my Note 20 but the lack of DeX-like on phones is kinda a deal breaker for me. So far, I only know that Samsung, Honor and Motorola bother to put a proper desktop mode in their flagship phones. Hope you would also review the Honor Magic6 Pro sometime next month when they launch internationally

    • @SomeGadgetGuy

What I'm most excited about is the Bluetooth codecs One Plus supports that the others don't. Apt-X Adaptive, Aptx-HD, LDAC, LHDC in particular which Apple, Samsung, nor the Goggle Pixel offer collectively. Never mind Bluetooth LE audio.

    I nearly ordered a Redmagic 9 Pro until I realized it does not support all the network bands for T-Mobile, I'm a bit of a stickler in wanting ALL the bands, even the S24/+/Ultra do not support all 5g bands. My options were down to OP12 and Rog 8, the former being MUCH cheaper and was ultimately the deciding factor. 16gb/512 SD8 Gen3 device for $799 is nuts. I watched EVERY review I could find on TH-cam, you're the only one to state OP12 supports display over USB, which is something I desire for desktop use. I do love the fact there is a notification switch, I've gotten so used to having one using iPhones in the past.

    Oneplus is no longer my daily phone (sadly because my OP9 fell victim to the green lines) and this year should have been my upgrade. Happy to see that Oneplus can still be my future choice once my run with this Pixel runs it's course.
    I think Oneplus actually learned its lessons after the 11. Going back to having one main model for the year is the right choice instead of having a pro.
    I genuinely miss the great speakers all my previous Onplus's spoiled me with. Oxygen OS also polished itself years on after the release of Material You.
