    You could have tested it longer, we would appreciate a more detailed review even later than this fast-fermented review...
    Where is endurance battery rating,Photo quality comparison,video quality comparison ?

      Aierlan, 24 Jan 2024Was hoping for a bit more detail on the camera review. It ... moreYeah, GSMArena not mentioning the Master Mode is definitely disappointing. I hope they will add it later and include one for an upcoming Find X7 Ultra review as well.

        GSMArena, will you be uploading portrait mode samples as well as the test shots in the studio comparison tool?

          What a half baked review @gsmaena? Where is portrait camera samples and most importantly where is Photo compare tool ? I wanted to compare camera quality with pixel 8 and galaxy s24.

              The review dosent seem to mention the connectivity. The lte fdd band in 12 has dropped a lot of bands support compared to op11. Obviously cost cutting i guess. And in review how it's going to give quality call quality. And support for esim option is not covered.

                Aierlan, 23 Jan 2024The pricing is not much different than the previous generat... moreyeah I know but it still kinda stings considering the fact that apart from Samsung, everyone is reluctant to drop prices so for every other brand what you see is what you have to pay. Like, if this phone were 800 euros or something that'd have made this a killer flagship, the main gripe I have is with the display, 100-200 USD less is necessary for a cut down display like this.

                  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

                            Anonymous, 23 Jan 2024I think it must be some kind of software issue with their g... moreTom's also got an unusually low score with Geekbench

                            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 !!!
