OnePlus 12 review

23 January 2024


Sort by:

Was hoping for a bit more detail on the camera review. It is way shorter than normal and omits many usual things. No portraits, and no information about the master mode where you can adjust things like photo sharpness and no photos or videos in the photo/video compare tool.

    Aierlan, 23 Jan 2024The 12gb 256gb version of the Oneplus 12 is the base versio... moreOh, it seems the pricing varies according to the country. It also seems that the shittier the country, the more expensive the phone is. In my countrry the difference between top versions of 11 and 12 is 149eur. I'll pass

      Anonymous, 23 Jan 2024Reason sony and apple dont buy cmos with 2x2 ocl. Yep. Also that's the reason why Sony's current highest-end mobile sensor, IMX989, uses dual pixel (2x1 OCL), not 2x2 OCL.

        Anonymous, 23 Jan 2024I mean upscale from 48 to 50. Same way some cheap phones ... moreWe'll have to wait for either a confirmation from OnePlus (that they use the same 52MP multi-aspect sensor) or a review that provides a RAW file from this phone to say if the photos have been upscaled or not. After all, OnePlus advertises that OP12's main camera uses a 50MP sensor and that's the only official information we have right now.

          Damn. 1100€ for the green version. My immediate thought was "that's too much" 😄

          Well, let's wait for those proper pwm results and experiences

            Seems like there's just some weird interaction with Geekbench specifically, and it only happens to some reviewers

                  Anonymous, 24 Jan 2024What reason did they decide stop ship with a protective case?Only certain lucky markets got a free case in the box, it wouldn't surprise me if OnePlus follows in the footsteps of most phone manufacturers with no charger no preinstalled screen protector no nothing in the box. As long as their phones are cheaper than the competition that's the most important thing I suppose.

                    Way too much about camera nowadays on all reviews sites. in the verdict please tell us why other phones might be better than op12 for reasons that aren't all about the camera.

                        SD8 gen 3 is a big failure this year : until now all new smartphones with that SoC have a bad thermal !!!

                            Physically unable to use more than 48.

                            Was not supposed to be 12.5/50

Some reviewers have it on par with other SD8G3 phones, but GSMA isn't the only one that saw unusually low scores with Geekbench 6:

                                  is it just me thinking OnePlus will sell much more phones if making them with a flat display?

                                    The lack of real water resistance is a shame for a flagship but why such a low score when everything else is on top?

                                      Anonymous, 23 Jan 2024You cant really compare them like that.

In France and Spain the initial sales price for the top 16gb 512gb version is €999.

                                        That's the smartphone I've been waiting for. Excellent battery life, bright and crisp display, fast and responsive UI, versatile cameras. Thanks for the review, I was waiting for it to make sure that would be a great choice for me. :)
