WiZi, 23 Feb 2024For me, it's the opposite. After a few years of using ... moreOxygen 14 needs big improvements. On Oneplus 12 If you switch apps and return to web browser (google chrome or similar) there is 1-2 seconds delay for the page to load. If you scroll on system launcher there is 1-2 seconds delay after scrolls which results into software unresponsiveness if you scroll/touch quickly. If you take a photo the processing takes 1-2 seconds longer. If you scroll in settings and need to touch on search menu to write a keyword, there is a delay of 1-2 seconds. Sometimes in google chrome there is stuttering or lag. Not sure how the phone would perform with such software if it did not wear the quickest chipset in the market and 16gb ram.. Also I am not sure how many months OP need to resolve all these annoying bugs. I feel like I use a cheap phone with this software.

        As a proud owner of OnePlus 11 which is loaded with features and power as well as 5 years of OS and security updates, the OnePlus 12 is all of that and more which is saying a lot. I Am sold on OnePlus.

          Why does the pictures look different in gallery app and google photos
          I thought Google Photos supports Proxdr

            WiZi, 23 Feb 2024For me, it's the opposite. After a few years of using ... moreComparing a 2-3 year older software to the most recent colorOS is useless. Obviously ColorOS will be smoother and basically better in every way other than looks (which is completely subjective and can be argued either way)

After a few years of using oneplus, even the new OxygenOS (now actually ColorOS) seems very smooth to me. The animations are slower, but they look good. And they can be sped up at any time in the developer settings.

                The only problem with 16gb ram is that it can handle having so many apps open in the background that it can greatly affect battery drain if apps are not closed.

                  I dont see any comment in the review about the smoothness and performance of the software which to my opinion is really poor. Great device but Oxygen 14 looks slow to me with poor responsiveness. High end chipset and 16 giga ram are useless if software is crap

You still see several issues reported by users since Android 12. The oxygen launcher once upon a time was the best in the market and has become really heavy with bloatware and bugs. Users report same to 1+ but constantly ignored.

                      dbizzle, 13 Feb 2024Yes, you can swap lenses when recording in 4K30 and under. ... moreThe regular Oppo Find x7 allows you to switch between all rear lenses at 4k60fps so would be surprising if the ultra can't do this

                        To be honest I prefer a smaller flat screen.

                                  This makes a lot of sense, but it's a bit unfortunate that
                                  1) it's enabled by default, 12Gs should be plenty.
                                  2) the OS should prioritize hardware memory over virtual memory, specially for foreground apps.
                                  That being said, I feel like for me, I can just disable it and be confident now, thanks again:)

                                    Fisherman, 08 Feb 2024Yeah they definitely seemed to have rushed this review out.... moreI'm confused about master mode, I though "original photo mode" had Hasselblad tuning
                                    but they released Master which I quote "The Master Mode features Hasselblad color tuning to enhance the photos with natural and vibrant colors" .
                                    It would mean photo mode is OP tuning and Master Mode is Hasselblad's?
                                    What does vignette do?

                                        The last paragraph about an Iphone 15 plus costing the same in the US is terribly misleading. An Iphone 15 plus starts at $899 for the 128gb model, if you want equivalent storage (although maybe extreme) or just a step up from that you're right at $999-$1199. Not apples to apples at all.
