        been using this phone for 3 months, the phone back glass cover s*cks. 3m textured decal sticker doesn't stick very well on it. it easily peel on corner edge even i used heat gun.

        a couple of days ago, i started to use my phone without phone case as i find having a phone case feels uncomfortable to carry as it added weight and thick even though i use aramid fiber case (kevlar). phone is already wide and heavy. back glass cover is a total sh*t. very slippery to use naked and i tried to install 3m textured sticker. the sticker doesn't stick well especially on the corner edge. haaiizzz my other phone with the same 3m textured sticker installed, sticked well on the back while this oneplus 12 dont. it feels silky smooth. btw mine is color black.

            Slater1133, 31 Mar 2024Thanks again @smashly for the very detailed and a comprehen... moreCurrent Global OxygenOS CPH2581 is definitely different from China ColorOS PJD110, that's for sure.
            Basically China ColorOS doesn't fully support google apps (China doesn't use playstore at all)
            Even though alot of China Op12 sellers offer Playstore installed on CN ColorOS, it still doesn't work properly.
            I also didn't think much of the keyboard that came with CN ColorOS.
            Also there were some china apps that just don't seem to remove in CN ColorOS

            Global/EUR/US OxygenOS natively support playstore and it's apps.
            No china apps lurking in the backgroud, well there might be, but they aren't visable if they are.
            But I still don't trust OxygenOS, it's very bloated and really doesn't respect memory use.
            Every snazzy feature you want to use seems need some other software permission just to launch.
            For example Multi Display nags about OPSynergy permissions such as location, nearby shares, Phone permission, contacts permission, message permission, notification permission, bluetooth permission,camera permisson and god knows how many other bits of crap and other sowftware to enable and permiss..
            That's just to cast to a TV 3 feet away on the same network... WTH!!!
            800MB+ of memory later ohh it works, not impressive.
            The phone has WiFi-Direct, try use it to connect directly to a WiFi-Direct projector, FAIL!
            Connect but not share the screen without all that bloat being enabled..
            Yes I'm affraid to say great features that were easy to use have regressed the more Android supposedly progresses.

            Still a great phone and OxygenOS is fine as long as you don't want to use those native software based whistles and bells.

              After the ROM flash model CPH2581 is the same as was with the Color or has changed?

                  @Slater1133:
                  For firmware flashing.
                  Do a search and look for xdaforums in the link using the following keywords:
                  how-to-convert-from-coloros-to-global-us-india-on-chinese-oneplus-12
                  Sorry I didn't just post the link as I'm unsure if the post here permits external links.
                  But once your there it just takes some reading, downloading and a windows pc to connect the phone for flashing.
                  All the hard work has already been done by others.

                  As for debloating, same thing, do general searches and read what different modules you don't use or need to work out what you can disable/remove.
                  Since you'd have ADB/Fastboot set up on your pc you can use legit free unbloated windows apps (like UAD - Universal Android Debloater) or even manually via ADB commands to per user disable/remove the bloat you can't seem to remove/disable from within the OxygenOS itself.
                  eg: greyed out Disable buttons or no Uninstall options.
                  Also doing this on a non rooted phone is not so volatile, if you cripple the phone (bootloop) while disabling or removing something just factory reset and start again.
                  Even when the phone can't boot to the home screen you can hold Vol- & Power Button, let go of power button when the 1+ logo shows, it boots in to fastboot mode and you can factory reset using the Vol+- & Power buttons to navigate.
                  Obviously time is the main factor, it takes time to read and experiment.

                      How did you flash Global ROM over CN?
                      And how to debloat it after?
                      Hoping to hear back.

                          All I can say is I'm glad I bought the CN version of the OP12 phone almost 2 months ago..
                          If I had waited and bought the Global version here in Australia I would have been capped with an 80w charging and 16GB/512GB mem/storage.
                          Instead I have 100w charging and 24GB/1TB and it actually cost me less then buying the Global version, go figure :)
                          And yep I flashed it with the Global rom and am upto date with OxygenOS 14.0.0.604 all debloated.
                          Since debloating I definitely get better battery life and overall it's consistantly smoother to use.
                          In general this phone is a pleasure to use on a daily basis.
                          Everything I use on the phone works well for me.
                          WiFi, Bluetooth, USB 3.2, HDMI out, Multi Monitor, OTG seems to work quick when plugging in anything (expansion dock, keyboard, mouse, controller, cam, drives, usb sticks, etc).
                          Ohh and the cameras are brilliant for a non photo literate person like me.
                          My happy snaps make it look like I know how to use a camera (and I don't).

                          In all honesty though it's the first phone I've owned that is of this calibur.
                          My prior phones have always been cheapo barely entry level phones (Ericson Flip, LG, Nokia 2.1, Moto G32).
                          So it's not like I have a lot of phones hardware wise I can compare against.
                          But the upside is I always screw the most out of every phone I've owned....lol

                              I believe that Oneplus 12 currently only supports upto 18W when charging in USB-PD mode. Suspect only SuperVOOC supports higher charging rates.

For browsing, chatting, hearing to music etc it gives me about 8 hours. Also some other apps may consume more battery thus there is not standard SOT for all occasions.

I have contacted OnePlus already but I see this is Oxygen 14 issue and happens to many Oneplus devices so I am not really optimistic that will be resolved anytime soon. When using the device quickly it feels like a device of the previous decade due to those 1-2 second software delays.

                                      I have been this phone since about 10 days. I have liked it so much. camera is awesome. The battery life im not so much happy with. I charge it in the moringing and the refresh rate is kept at AUTO refresh rate. I have wifi, data connectivity ON fulltime. Apart from that my usage is more than average user(not a very heavy user) but overall phone performance is fantastic and its charging speeds are insane. i charge my phone mornings for about 25-30mins to full.
                                      The battery when i keep it on charge is about 15-20% so that means my battery usage is about 80% in 24hrs and i cant survive without charging the phone every 24hours. In short the phone has all that one needs plus the super fast charging speeds but the Screen On time is about 6.5hrs or so for me. not the 8 or 9 hours which some pple show online. honest review is that the phone is 8/10. the onlye downside is the battery being 5400mah but doesnt live up to the mark. but the charging speed covers up forthe downside.
