OnePlus 12 - The Flagship Killer is BACK! For a Price of $799 for 12GB RAM/256GB and $899 for 16GB RAM/512GB Storage, let's find out if this is a great deal for you! Share your thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, and enjoy the review! 😃🔥📱🎥 Pre-Order Tomorrow 1/23/2024 and get it on February 6th, 2024 @ OnePlus.com, best buy, amazon
Just pre-ordered mine, they are offering the 16gb/512gb model for the same 799.99 as the 12gb/256 model if you preorder, plus they gave me 300 for my old OnePlus 9 (which I only paid $300 for during a black Friday sale ) so only ended up costing alittle over $500 bucks for the Top spec OnePlus 12, well worth it. Can't wait for it to arrive the week after my bday, gonna be a great birthday present to myself lol
I pre-ordered two OnePlus 12's for $599.99 each with two Motorola Edge Plus trade-ins. Heck of a deal and I can hardly wait for them to arrive. BTW, I am using a OnePlus 11 right now and these phones have THE BEST antenna system of any smartphone I've ever used.. bar none.
I have a OnePlus 12 and coming from a s23 ultra and i have owned oneplus one , oneplus, 6t, 7pro and 8pro i switched to Samsung and after owning s21 ultra ultra and s22 ultra i would say i don't regret changing back to OnePlus, its a beast phone, period.
@@latinreuben I've avoided black for so long cus back in the day everything was black... OP11 I got green...wrong choice, glossy back made with gorilla glass lube
in meantime iPhone is 95 or less if you do the same with 14 Pro. And I have also a one plus 12, guys, this phone is terrific. Best buy, In Shanghai, where i live, starts from 570 euros with cover, 2 years screen replacement, forever screen film change, a 10K usb power bank and bluetooth external speaker. WTF!!
@@bruvhellnah hey man, it's the best phone I've ever had, even people around me ask me what phone it is (obviously most people don't kno OnePlus). The photos are spectacular but I care about processing power and screen the most, an no disappointment there either
I'm coming from OP7pro, and I'm glad that you too recognize that the pop-up selfie cam on it was top-notch (LESS) tech. I'm going to miss having an uninterrupted screen, but the phone is finally feeling outdated in other areas.
Had that phone for 4 years, people thought it was cutting edge even though many years have passed. It's a shame that in-display cameras haven't improved much. Even some sort of electrochromic technology would have been helpful.
Also upgrading to this from the 7pro. I feel the same way, gonna miss the pop up camera but after nearly 5 years its starting to show its age. Best phone ive had aside from the nexus4. Here's to at least 5 more years with the 12!
@@hellzofwar Same the one plus 7 pro is the longest I have ever had a phone. But it is showing its age especially with the battery life. I really wish something was on the market with no hole punch camera came out...
@@yensteel Yeah I was really trying to hold out tell the hole punch died but it never did... The one plus 7 pro is the longest I have ever had a phone and I think that's mostly because the phone market has been pretty stagnant for the last 4-5 years with a lack of innovation every phone is basically a very similar glass slab even the iphone... really hope companies start making some real innovations like how companies like LG did in the past but I guess that didn't work out very well for them RIP...
I had a One plus 7 pro... Bought when it was launched in 2k19... EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE till now despite gaming!! But it got CRASH DUMP MODE... Service centers said to change mother board which is costly... ANY SOLUTION...!!??
I absolutely love this phone, the best part of it, is that it's just a single flagship phone with all the bells and whistles, no pro and no ultra variants because no need for them, I love the way it is as One plus 12 ❤
Got mine in Shanghai for 550 bucks with 12 256 with also cover and one plus 10K power bank and external bluetooth speaker as gifts. This phone is like butter, always smooth and perfect. Photos are great. In China we also have some AI.
I've been an iPhone fanboy since the iPhone 3 and this is the first time, I would consider going Android if I was to buying the OnePlus 12. Your review covers a lot of in-depth things most TH-camr don't cover. Great review.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro and I’ve been debating whether to buy this phone, but the OnePlus 13 comes out at the end of the year. I'm curious to see what that looks like.
yep, you and me both... just replaced a ton of the internals on my OP7P to extend it's life a little longer. struggling to get rid of that clean display, but this one is probably the first phone on the market that might entice me to "upgrade".
@@paradox... Yep, it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I wasn't crazy about opening a sealed phone, but I have done a lot of work on other stuff that was easier to get in to. In general, oneplus has their phones set up in a very modular way, though, so almost anything is replaceable. And yeah, I have the burn in on the keyboard too -- then again mine is a day one OP7P so it has seen some days. I didn't replace the screen because the oem one was just too expensive to make sense, but yeah battery, some of the mics, speaker, the whole popup cam assembly. Oh and actually I ended up replacing the rear panel too because it wasn't too expensive and mine was broken. It's great that one plus makes the parts easily accessible.
0:45 let me tell you something: it can actually zoom in over 1 billion times but with a trick: make a picture, now zoom into the picture and make a screenshot, and then zoom into the screenshot again and make a screenshot again. Repeat as often as you wish and you can achieve 1 trillion times zoom easily.
Thanks for the honest review Nick, just across your channel looking for a good review of thr OP12...I'm sold I think I found the phone to finally replace my venerable LG G8 that I've had since 2019. Since 2022 I've been searching for a replacement but none impresses me not the Pixel, not the Galaxy but maybe the Zenfone. I tried back then the Xperia 1 III amazing screen and camera and I love Sony but not the phone so I sold it. I have right now as back up is the LG V60 but it's time for me to move on to a brand new phone. Subjectively just for me I hate apple so I don't consider any iphone or apple products. I'll pre-order the One Plus 12 soon here in Canada.
Would love to see a video on the 12R as well. Not much out there for it in YT land. I ordered the 12, but after looking into the 12R more, I may end up switching to the 12R for the $$. Cheers.
I really like my OnePlus 12 and enjoying everything about it.but coming from Samsung recently i noticed some few things missing like the phone dialer doesn't give you freedom to copy and paste things as you wish as it lacks a proper clipboard.i also noticed the gallery app is missing and i had to really try alot of apps on the play store to get one that serves me well and without those annoying ads.
I still to this day don't wanna upgrade my one plus 7 pro because I don't want a hole punch.... But the battery life is terrible at this point what should I do?
I would like to see you begin to review phones in key aspects of use like battery, software, update policy, comparison to the competition, camera etc. These are the things that matter most to prospective buyers.
Amazing phone as always from Oneaplus,i had all brands,but OnePlus,Iphone and Sony are my favourites( this was just an intro😁 not to get me wrong) So here comes the big minus- it had no AI tehnology,every flagship gonna have it this year,Iphone 16 also.But there will probably be another great OnePlus unit till the end of this year
The 12 has the snapdragon 8 mark 3 too tho, and it has the same AI cores that the samsungs are using, so if oneplus decides to join the bandwagon with AI then i feel like this phone is pretty future proof for getting some functions... i hope
It’s like the Xbox series s of smartphones. I was thinking to get this phone one day, just to try something different but also has a similar experience to samsung
Uhh... I am not sure where you are getting that impression from. Series S is straight booty cheeks, and this thing goes toe to toe in every way except camera. I would recommend the Series S to literally no one, and this is already looking like a guaranteed top 3 phone of the year.
Im a s23 ultra user I have 5 months old OP12 BUT my battery still 100% and also never heat like 23 ultra And also battery back was excellent 8 hours sot NOTE-NEVER UPDTAE AH YOUR ONEPLUS DEVICE and enjoy
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?
@@EmmieSuksailol why would you waste your time and post this nonsense. Did you watch the video? He doesn't go through the sound settings at all. There is no way to tell if the phone has the features I'm looking for unless he checks it and reports back.
What many people do not understand about pop-up cameras is that they take up a lot of internal space. From an engineering standpoint, that is a problem if you're expecting the latest and greatest features every year. After all, there's only so much room inside every device.
Personally I don't even want a selfie camera at all. Regardless, though, notchless display for me is really probably the top "feature" on my list, so there's really very little I wouldn't sacrifice for a popup cam or whatever was "minimum effort" enough to satisfy the market as being a suitable selfie cam. That said, they put an IR blaster in this thing, so it seems to me like there was a bit of room to spare :) I know the popup cam takes up more space than that (as I've done a full replacement on the full popup assembly), but I would also happily give up some of the cooling components or even battery capacity if it got that hole off my display.
@@lindigj in fact, they added the IR blaster because it takes up less than 1 mm of space. In addition, it's a feature that some people have been asking for for a long time. Personally, I really don't care about an IR blaster. However, The mechanics for the pop-up camera take up considerably more space and it's difficult to make that comparison. For example, 1 + took a lot of heat for removing the alert slider on the 10T. Again, it was purely a matter of internal space. 1 + was hell-bent on building their new 125 watt supercharging into that particular device. As a result, very few people purchased it because of the lack of an alert slider. The alert slider is a Hallmark of their phones and I didn't like that either. Still, it was either that alert slider or the 125 watt supercharging. LOL At any rate, you may feel that you'd prefer losing the vapor Chambers and cooling systems on the device but, you wouldn't feel that way when it started overheating. Besides, that will never really be a compromise in having a notchless device. I find the hole punch to be the best solution. Still, I wish the 12 would place it in the upper left-hand corner like they did on so many other previous generations of phones. Again, you can't have everything. LOL
@@lindigj They managed to put popup camera into 7 Pro which is lighter and slimmer. So it is doable. I still have it but will upgrade to 12, but as you, I would highly prefer no hole. There are some phones without holes in display but they are not what I want. Will get the 12, hoping they will do eventually under display camera. I think it will not be next year, but maybe in 2 years.
Thanks for the review! I had a couple questions that. How are accidental side touches with the curved screen? And second, and my only peeve from previous OnePlus…when playing music, does the Lock Screen widget have music scrubbing yet? Many, if not all, other android smartphones and iOS has it, but it’s been missing from Oxygen OS.
Yes i do want to know the same. The curved display is stopping me to preorder. If any OnePlus user sees my comment please tell if there happens any accidental touches on the edge of curved display ? Or the software is smart enough to ignore that accidental touches
Always owned a samsung s series and switched to a new one every 2 years. But phones dont make huge changes anymore the last few years. So i picked the one plus 12. This time and im going to use it for 4 years
No brainer to avoid... OxygenOS is so bad in battery optimization and the brand will ignore it after getting your money. Prefer to pay more for Xiaomi or even Samsung.
Hello Nick Could you give us a overview of the weight of this set this is 220gms without a case. So when a case also comes, how does the weight affect our hands if we plan to use it for our daily driver and a lot of phone calls ?
I have owned iPhones, Samsung and Chinese phones like Huawei etc. Would never go back to Apple or Samsung. Chinese companies make GOATED phones and you can’t change my mind soz. Have ordered a 12 and looking forward to getting it this week! I’m coming from an iPhone 13 Pro.
Same like me, owned Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei, and my mate 20 just about to die, going for this OnePlus 12, hoping it'll replicate the Huawei, the rest are simply aren't comparable.
Hey what settings did you have it on that battery lasted 21 minutes, I charged to 100 and was just watching TH-cam battery didn't stay on 100 for 21 minutes
Have the 7t for the past 6 years. Didn't exchange but got the Oneplus12. I was basically bored by the 7t🥱 because it wouldn't die, wouldn't hang, wouldn't misbehave in any way, was fast and did pretty much everything one needs on a daily basis. Just wanted to get this for a change😅
@@IstvanDarabos I got the S24+ and returned it and got the base galaxy S24. Can't carry around a 7-8 inch phone they're bricks. But it's each person's preference. I agree the battery is a huge drawback however.
Sir, can you please make a camera comparison video (Specially night mode video, microphone and heating during recording 4k 60fps) 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.
Im probably gonna pick this up as im getting a bit fed up with the lack of water resistance in my redmagic 8 pro, i dont even game on my phone much so i dont know why i bought a redmagic
Hi Nick Thanks for your time and honest review. Is oneplus stepping away from pure android that we see on pixel phones? This is a big deal as BBQ companies are kind of unifying their ecosystem!
In the other markets when this was earlier released, some users reported a small gap at the top and bottom camera on the edge, do you notice any gap still there?
It's perfectly fine in daylight. Actually like the processing during the day more than the overdone contrast from pixel. Personally. But it's not the best at night. @@a.m.3118
I have an important question for me. Can I make music apps play previous, next song by swiping back and forth and down with double fingers when the phone is turned off?
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get one. my 7 pro is finally showing signs of age after 5 year. I'm really going to miss the pop up cam though. 😢

@@lindigj They managed to put popup camera into 7 Pro which is lighter and slimmer. So it is doable. I still have it but will upgrade to 12, but as you, I would highly prefer no hole. There are some phones without holes in display but they are not what I want. Will get the 12, hoping they will do eventually under display camera. I think it will not be next year, but maybe in 2 years.
@@lindigj red magic phone dont have notch nor camera hole.
Its under display tech
maybe this is what people think along time ago with big size computer cant fit into palm size
Good review and phone seems packed with features but oneplus support and software updates are sketchy.. therefore I would avoid.
They allow to unlock the bootloader. Don't like the stock rom? Replace it with Lineage OS
great review,
dose it including real Proximity Sensor in calling ?
It's starting from 599 from china with global os now
Thanks for the review! I had a couple questions that. How are accidental side touches with the curved screen? And second, and my only peeve from previous OnePlus…when playing music, does the Lock Screen widget have music scrubbing yet? Many, if not all, other android smartphones and iOS has it, but it’s been missing from Oxygen OS.
Yes i do want to know the same. The curved display is stopping me to preorder. If any OnePlus user sees my comment please tell if there happens any accidental touches on the edge of curved display ? Or the software is smart enough to ignore that accidental touches
Software is smart enough to ignore accidental touches
Always owned a samsung s series and switched to a new one every 2 years. But phones dont make huge changes anymore the last few years. So i picked the one plus 12. This time and im going to use it for 4 years
Same here from s2 to s22 now but I got tired of this. I hope op12 will be better
Would this be a worthy upgrade from an s21 5g?
Yeeees
I just upgraded from s21 ultra to OnePlus 12, i just got it yesterday
iPhone 15 plus vs one plus 12 which is better sir... Overall performance which is best pls reply
Coming from a 5T. Loved that phone to death, but its getting a bit dated. I ordered a 12, will be here tomorrow! Super excited
@@gregbegin9040 can you share your experience?
£899 for the OnePlus 12. £584 for the OnePlus 12R, its a no brainer
If your price sensitive the 12R is a no brainer. If you want the best model the 12 is a no brainer.
The best model? Would you be saying that if the S24U was the same price?
No brainer to avoid... OxygenOS is so bad in battery optimization and the brand will ignore it after getting your money. Prefer to pay more for Xiaomi or even Samsung.
@@FPVPortugalTV is that a well known issue? I've always had OnePlus phones and the battery has been brilliant
@@Thethirstyhumbug look at the nord3 forum and see for yourself
Hello Nick
Could you give us a overview of the weight of this set this is 220gms without a case. So when a case also comes, how does the weight affect our hands if we plan to use it for our daily driver and a lot of phone calls ?
Oneplus is back!
OnePlus already back with 11
Sold. I will order mine next week.
I have owned iPhones, Samsung and Chinese phones like Huawei etc. Would never go back to Apple or Samsung.
Chinese companies make GOATED phones and you can’t change my mind soz. Have ordered a 12 and looking forward to getting it this week! I’m coming from an iPhone 13 Pro.
Same like me, owned Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei, and my mate 20 just about to die, going for this OnePlus 12, hoping it'll replicate the Huawei, the rest are simply aren't comparable.
Have fun with those green lines on your Chinese phone
The only downside of this phone is the curved display. In my opinion, better than the S24 Ultra for $400 less
I am considering this phone but that camera module is a big turn off.
Nice job , but do you think it feels a bit top heavy with that camera set up ?
It has great photos, I'm trading in my 9 pro for the 12. Oneplus has some great pre-order trade-in deals.
3:33 does it feel like the Moto Edge+ 2023 glass back?! That's my favorite feeling glass back
Its hard to choose between oneplus 12 or xiaomi 14
Lot of love has put INTO this phone!
Hey what settings did you have it on that battery lasted 21 minutes, I charged to 100 and was just watching TH-cam battery didn't stay on 100 for 21 minutes
Have the 7t for the past 6 years. Didn't exchange but got the Oneplus12. I was basically bored by the 7t🥱 because it wouldn't die, wouldn't hang, wouldn't misbehave in any way, was fast and did pretty much everything one needs on a daily basis. Just wanted to get this for a change😅
My only concern is the size. 6.82 inches? Yikes..I've been using the S23 that's 6.1 inches.
S22 here, changed from s9+ but i regret the smaller size because of the battery. I'm planning to buy op12, I'm tired of samsungs.
@@IstvanDarabos I got the S24+ and returned it and got the base galaxy S24. Can't carry around a 7-8 inch phone they're bricks. But it's each person's preference. I agree the battery is a huge drawback however.
6.4 is the sweet spot
Sir, can you please make a camera comparison video (Specially night mode video, microphone and heating during recording 4k 60fps) 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.
WOW, this may be my next phone. Great, honest review
Why aren’t they mainstream in the USA? Too bad it’s not on Verizon
Because the US is obsessed with iPhones. I agree as an American, I hate it
Love your reviews from Morocco ❤❤❤
Im probably gonna pick this up as im getting a bit fed up with the lack of water resistance in my redmagic 8 pro, i dont even game on my phone much so i dont know why i bought a redmagic
What does Action Mode do? Is it like Motion/Live Photos?
Let's you take better photos of moving objects.
Hi Nick
Thanks for your time and honest review. Is oneplus stepping away from pure android that we see on pixel phones? This is a big deal as BBQ companies are kind of unifying their ecosystem!
In the other markets when this was earlier released, some users reported a small gap at the top and bottom camera on the edge, do you notice any gap still there?
I think that they sent good device to reviewers, why would they send ones with problems?
true@@ZeiTooN9
Love the Oneplus, performance, battery life, ...lighting speed charging, just that camera it's not convincing me
Camera is garbage but more than u need in day2day use
It's perfectly fine in daylight. Actually like the processing during the day more than the overdone contrast from pixel. Personally. But it's not the best at night. @@a.m.3118
Nice review really excited waiting for mine to show up as we speak
Mauricio, porque voce foi ensinar esse bolo maravilhoso? Agora estamos viciados! Muito obrigada pela receita, excelente!
I just bought the S24 in January. I am thinking of changing it to OnePlus 12 as the Exynos 2400 heats up.
The only con I see there is the thickness of the phone, 9.1 is thicker. I prefer you make the phone a bit wider but thinner than slimmer and thicker
What a battery 😮
Ive currently got an s24 ultra, but picking up this one this week...ill be returning one of them next week. We shall see
Can you please share with us which one you ended up keeping and why? Thanks
So? What is your verdict?
What, did you do lad
I sold my S24 Ultra and got the OP12.
I really want to buy it, I just hope the green line doesn't appear after 2 years of use like my OP9
OnePlus is back the original flagship killer
Thank you for mentioning PWM
At how many FPS can the phone run the COD mobile game? Thanks for the great review
Probably at 1000fps
120hz screen run it at 120 fps. You'll see no difference if it goes higher
One plus should offers a small version 6.1-6.3" with flat screen 👌
Nick. When do we get the dishonest review ? I dont understand why TH-camrs say honest review. If you didn't say that would it be a dishonest review ?
When I say honest I mean my honest experience, not a scripted talking points or advertisement
@@nickackermanchannel maybe say unsponsored.
Because there're many bribed reviews, so it's better to distinguish one from it.
@@andrewlim7751 it’s better to use brain. At least every now and then
You do get a case in some regions. A pretty nice case too. Not a pain clear one
Maybe I missed him talking about it but how many years of software updates does this phone get?
4 yrs software, 5 yrs security updates
@@lindigj 👍
At least it's not boring like ios
I ordered the Ace3 pro instead of the Samsung s24 plus. The latter is too flat and not 🖐️-friendly
Did you face any heating issue ,
Please reply
No not at All
What are the black & white dots in the fourth camera hole? Sensors? Beauty spots?
Its to make more natural colors while using your camera
I have an important question for me. Can I make music apps play previous, next song by swiping back and forth and down with double fingers when the phone is turned off?
It's available in oxygen os 14 on my op 9 pro, so it should be available there too
I Love my OnePlus 12 wish the volume was on opposite side from power button as I always shut my phone when trying to lower the volume.
Will definitely be trading in my P8P
Does the 12R model have the eye comfort options?
yes
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get one. my 7 pro is finally showing signs of age after 5 year. I'm really going to miss the pop up cam though. 😢
