OnePlus 12 Review: Better Than You Think!

Did we really bully him so much so that he finally revived OP 12? 😭

Damn. IR Blaster, High PWM frequency and that rain drop touch stuff are sick features. Those are the kind of features that aren't just stupid gimmicks.

That wet touchscreen feature!!! One thing i don't like about iPhones is that as soon as you get one droplet of water on the screen, the phone just completely stops working 😭

The funny thing is the One Plus Open was actually third in the standard light test which is like 90% of the situations when we take photos

The IR blaster & Aqua-touch is honestly fantastic stuff. If Apple announced just these 2 features as the sole new features of a iPhone, people would be extremely excited. They really seem that nice on a QoL level

A phone which is really an all-rounder? I am glad OnePlus is returning to their roots...

Got my OP12 for $749 (w/ Trade-in) bundled with OnePlus watch 2 for $99...all for $849 (plus tax in the US) I also have the S24 Ultra....honestly I find myself using the OP12 more. No gimmicky Ai & longer battery & charges super fast.

Thank you for covering PWM flickering!!! Most people don't know about it. The flashing light causes your pupils to constantly dilate, getting fatigued and strained.

I never thought about it, but now that you mention it it's super weird that IR blasters aren't a standard feature in smartphones. There's 4 remotes in my living room (audio, TV, cable tuner box, air conditioning), and they all run off various annoying battery sizes.

The real reason why this phone stood out to me and just changed my life is the charging speed. I became a oneplus believer in a matter of minutes, I'm not even joking. I am able to use this phone for 1-2 days and then then charge it back up with that SUPERVOC 100W charging in minutes, it's a super game-changer that I never knew I needed. I can literally just play some wild rift for 4 hours and get my battery down to 20%, then I leave it in for 5 minutes? It goes up to 50%. I leave it for 10 minutes? Okay now it's up to 80%! ...I leave it for 15 minutes on charge? It's back to 100%. It's literally crazy, I never knew this ultra charging is going to such an amazing feature... and Now I simply can't imagine a phone without it. So unless other brands adopt this 100W+ charging technology, I'm not even going to look the other way.

11:32 Editor forgot something 🤣 the yellow highlighted ba

The IR blaster is one feature I miss so much when I switched from a Xiaomi mid-range to an S23 ultra. Made controlling appliances in hotels and airbnb's pretty smooth and simple.

In Marques Voice: It's about DAMN time...

Having a phone with an IR blaster has been a life saver a few times. It's why I keep my old Mate 20 Pro in a drawer, despite it having a smashed screen. It's let me reconfigure old AVRs for which the remote has been lost, and access the service menu of my LG OLED when we moved abroad and it couldn't download apps in the new region. A genuinely useful feature, even if it's not something everyone uses day to day

That Silent/Vibrate/Ring button activates find in page every single time and i have been using OnePlus9 pro since it came out,it's been there since then and now you've told its in the 12 too

OnePlus 7T was one of my favorite phones of all-time. I've since switched back to the Pixel (currently have the Pixel 8 Pro), but I've missed the silky-smooth performance of OnePlus. But that's a bit nitpicky: from the Pixel 8 release a few months ago to the Samsung S24 release and now the OnePlus 12 release, Android-users have much reason to rejoice!

Did he say "IR blaster"?! In 2024?! Fucking RAD

Watching this with my OnePlus 7pro. Ive been using it for 4years now. Its still perfect and everything stilll works. OnePlus make good phones.

I was waiting for this review to order it, sadly missed the preorder but reviews were more important to wait for.
