After downgrading my OnePlus 7T with software update from HD1907 to HD1901 (from dual sim to single sim), and unsuccessful struggling with IT to send me another package to resolve the issue, i am afraid i will never buy OnePlus phone again. even though it is probably best buy in terms price/quality

    The most problem on this phone is the system, not the phone itself, OnePlus and OPPO don't update their system fast like any other phone brand, there is tons of issue or unsupported function that user provided feedback several years ago, and they literally did nothing about it. the phone is perfect, if you want to play phone game, buy this phone, do not go to Motorola or pixel, have same benchmark or specs doesn't mean have same performance on game, heat control, CPU threat manage, background app manage, those can affect your game a lot

      Ian, 16 Mar 2024Is 12R has a capable for esim?Doesn't seem like it, unfortunately. But I've seen some Americans saying it works for them on the 12R. Might want to confirm with your ISP, or if you're brave enough go for the eSIM plan and test it yourself.

                Hey Guys, I bought the oneplus 12r 256gb Variant expecting UFS 4.0 but now it seems they lied and are trying to back track it as an error and talking about their trinity engine. It sounds absolutely pathetic what they are trying to do and say with the siuation. I am claiming the refund as soon as possible and do hope the company does really learn its mistake with this scam( there is no way a billion dollar company's most excited product details were mistaken for week and even months, so yes i am calling it a scam)

                          I would not recommend any OnePlus device to anyone ever again. Have been a fan since OP1. My recent experience with my OP11 has left me feeling super disappointed. The OOS14, Android 14 update in December broke the camera so bad that it is unusable. Whole phone lock-ups, missing photos, extremely laggy and janky app performance, jittery video recordings. The list goes on. Many, many people are complaining all over Reddit and the OP community forums and there is not even an acknowledgement from OP. This has been dragging out since December.

                          OnePlus promising 4 years of software updates. Pffft they can't even manage 1! Back to Pixel for me I guess.

                              Hmm.. the best review I've read till now!! but I'm really confused with 2 options : Iqoo12 and Oneplus12R because there is a slight margin in the price, but my main concern is the OS and Camera comparisons. Could you possibly take some time and make such a comparison pls?

                                Anthony, 08 Feb 2024moto edge plus 2023 or oneplus 12 R? I would like motorola... moreWell, you do get a much nicer display on the 12R, but the Edge+ 2023 has better IP68 rating. The cameras are better on the Edge+ 2023, but the charging speed is faster on the 12R. Still, these are small aspects and if you prefer a more stock Android software experience, then the Edge+ 2023 is the option you should go with, yeah

                                  elmarcello, 07 Feb 2024Nice extensive answer, although I'm not with gsma for ... moreI don't think the tiktok generation comes to gsmarena for reviews. If anything, I'd say they seem a bit older than other phone review sites. Considering that, I think they're doing just alright.

                                  As for call quality - gsmarena does talk about it in their long term reviews and I can understand why. You need to have used a phone extensively over a couple of months to give a verdict on call quality. However, if they could test the call quality in the (relatively) short amount of time they get for making reviews, it'd be great.

                                  And I don't want to bash other phone reviewers but gsmarena are still (one of the) most detailed phone reviewers imo.

                                    The storage also seems to be ufs 3.1 in both version not 4.0 for the 256gb option according to some sources on reddit
