        Revelation1, 16 Feb 2024I'm very surprised the reviewer failed to mention TRAN... moreThe transitions are very cool and nice however the overall touch and scrolling experience of Oxygen 14 feels like a 5 year old OS. It definitely needs improvement. So many bad review in reddit, oneplus community and elsewhere but no improvements from Oppo/Oneplus.

          I'm very surprised the reviewer failed to mention TRANSITIONS that are part of the Oxygen OS 14. They are located in the bottom row when you bring up "widgets". There are 5 or 6 transitions to choose from and they are totally cool. I'm using "roll" so that when I slide from the Homescreen to another screen, all the icons turn into a motion 3d Tube and spin to the next screen. Love this very much. It's not on the Samsung Android 14 OS that my wife has, as we did a lot of searching on the web, and in her phone - it just is not there.

          I love my new Oneplus 12. I had the 5T for almost 6 years and just got the 12 a week and a half ago. I immediately noticed that all the connections are flawless and instant. For example, Bluetooth has zero hiccups when getting into the car and connecting my phone with the car system. Same thing with WiFi. Instant connections. Everything is working as it should, and very fast - snappy!

          Personally, I love the curved 12 and rounded corners. Makes me think of a sports car with nice lines and curves. Hey, that's how I feel about it.

          Regarding the comments about "rooting" the Oneplus, I suppose that applies for people who are more advanced, but I would not know how to do that so the inability to root my phone is not something that bothers me.

          I find the UI of this phone very good, and intuitive.

                Anonymous, 11 Feb 2024Never I repeat never buy this realme OnePlus oppo trash Y... moreYes, you're correct. I hardly could root my realme 7 very very difficult following a lot Telegram groups. For Oppo related devices if they are under Huawei you can completely forget rooting as Huawei just do not want you know the backdoor they implement in the OS.............. so they never release bootloader methods.

                  The only issues I have got with android is chrome the most crap chromium browser and it is terrible with privacy) it shocks me to this very day people use that rubbish browser (I'm aware of the market share too).

                  I'd never never recommend chrome and safari (since that's what iOS users also use) both are crap.

                    You cannot even unlock bootloader to root it.
                    Stop wasting your money
                    Real power users buy Xiaomi
                    Only Xiaomi allows real root

                        Noob, 10 Feb 2024Reading reviews is not like having the device on your hands... moreI know, but I don't have the money to buy half a dozen phones and then decide which one I want to keep. However, I tend to accept GSMA's charging speed tests. For me, I wanted a phone with faster charging than the Phone 1, so I ordered a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G recently. I might struggle with MIUI, but if stock android becomes a priority, I'd probably return to using my old Pixel 6a. Close to two hours for a full charge is painfully slow though.

                          One of the buggiest OS overlay I've ever used. I used to own an Oppo Find X3 Pro, and man.... Bugs while listening to music via Headphones that lasted until ColorOS 13 (when I sold the phone), general lag, weird battery drain that happens 3 days out of 7, buggy scrolling and a lot of apps crashing even tho my phone had 12GB of RAM!

                          I would consider OnePlus if they still had their own overlay and not this copy-paste Oppo one, even Realme used to be interesting but now they all run on the same buggy mess that is the core ColorOS code.

                                  It doesn't work when you merge companies as they lose their individuality same with the OS. That said we have no carriers doing oneplus in uk now so the brand is going stale too.

                                    Since Oneplus is bringing OxygenOs 14 do they have any software update related problems? Cause couple of months ago there was a problem with their OS viz, whenever we update our phone some green lines appeared on screen!! Is this issue still exists or they fixed it? Anyone have any idea?
