The large storage space and fast processor allows me to use the phone seamlessly and game smoothly.I would recommend more people to get this phone for its fast processor, large ram and storage capacity. Banking and SingPass app works on this model.

Quality:feels premium in hands, Malaysia setPerformance:smooth fast, some new features added with firmware updateGlobal oneplus 12 with esim support.The initial setup was a bit rough and time consuming, as I experienced was heating issue due to I presume due to transfer of old settings from my 8t. To fix this,i just transfer over old files when cloning and skip the setting and auto optimise all apps.I'm using dual sim cards, so the battery life is shorter and I can expect around 6-6.5 hours of use with 24 hours standby (mix 70 cell tower network+30% wifi) 15% battery left without gaming . The 10 hours that some people claim are for continuous use with very little network standby time.

Curved screen is ok.. no accidental touch, only that the curve edge is reflective and slightly distracting.Some software with oneplus especially with inconsistent huge font size that I need to dive deep into settings to change.The official case is difficult to find, especially the aramid karbon case.Charging 30 minutes 0- full. Seller does include the 100w charger as part of the dealCamera produces true to life colour in daytime. But night shot colour can be a bit inconsistent, yellow or orange can look too cold or too warm.This phone is larger and heavier than 8t.Oneplus has changed the placement of the volume buttons from left side to right side and I think this is less ideal, as I frequently accidentally press the volume button instead of the power button.Screen brightness at default is dimmer than my 8t but the peak brightness is much better under direct sunlight.

[Rewarded Review] A very powerful device at a very low price!

I started out my smart phone years with iPhone and eventually moved over to Samsung. Both iOS and Android are great platforms! I just liked the extra freedom I have with Android more so I've stuck with Android. I've mainly focused on the midrange phones for my needs. Plenty of decent features for a low price compared to the overpriced flagships. The OnePlus 12 with it's lower price compared to Apple's and Samsung's flagships is my first true flagship phone and it is pretty darn amazing! A really good camera, the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processer and 512GB of onboard storage this phone is a stylish beast! Buttery smooth and a multitasking supercomputer and phone that sits quite comfortably in your pocket when not on use.I almost forget, because I never worry ... MoreI started out my smart phone years with iPhone and eventually moved over to Samsung.

I even here the model below this one, the OnePlus 12R packs a lot of goodies into an even lower price.

[Rewarded Review] Exceptional Performance and Battery Life

I've had this OnePlus 12 for about a month, switching from an iPhone 12 Pro, and I absolutely love it. With 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, this phone is a powerhouse. The gaming mode is fantastic, making my gaming experience smooth and enjoyable. The battery life is impressive, lasting 12 hours under heavy usage and up to 2.5 days with light usage.The speakers provide an almost surround sound experience, which is great for media consumption. I bought this phone unlocked, and it connects to T-Mobile 5G towers better than my iPhone ever did at my house. The connectivity is reliable, and the network speeds are impressive.One of the standout features for me is the display. It's the brightest phone I've used outdoors, making it easy to see in direct sunlight. ... MoreI've had this OnePlus 12 for about a month, switching from an iPhone 12 Pro, and I absolutely love it.

The connectivity is reliable, and the network speeds are impressive.One of the standout features for me is the display. It's the brightest phone I've used outdoors, making it easy to see in direct sunlight. Conversely, it gets really dark for indoor and night use, which is perfect for reducing eye strain in low-light conditions. This adaptive brightness feature significantly enhances the overall user experience.I've even used the reverse wireless charging feature on my mother's iPhone, which adds a layer of convenience I didn't have before. While the cameras aren't the best for taking photos of people, they excel at capturing nature and pet photos, which is what I primarily use them for. The detail and color accuracy in these photos are outstanding.The 100W fast charging impresses me daily; I step away from my phone for 15-25 minutes, and it's nearly fully charged. This fast charging capability ensures that I'm never tethered to a charger for long periods. Overall, the OnePlus 12 has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Purchased a OnePlus 12 (1P12) for myself and got a 2nd to replace my son's aging OnePlus 9 Pro after the battery started showing signs of degradation. The 1P12 is FAST with a fluid interface and no lags. Application installations are quick and I have not seen any hiccups/lags running productivity apps or gamed. Charging using the included power brick (YES...a 1P 65W Warp Charger comes in the box) or a 1P AIRVOOC 50W Wireless Charger (not included) is lightning fast (almost 2% increase in battery level per minute). Screen is bright and readable in all conditions. Oxygen OS offers an ideal level of customization without bloat. Updates have been timely (not as often as Google or Samsung but not far behind). Cameras are very good but not Pixel or Samsung quality yet. ... MorePurchased a OnePlus 12 (1P12) for myself and got a 2nd to replace my son's aging OnePlus 9 Pro after the battery started showing signs of degradation.

Cameras are very good but not Pixel or Samsung quality yet. Battery life especially standby is superb (this is an all day phone and is quick to charge if you ever run low). One downside is it is not IP68 rated. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of an S24 Ultra, this is a great option.

[Rewarded Review] Great phone with no nonsense OS

Op knocked it out of the park with such a solid phone with amazing performance, splid battery life and tons of customization. You can literally make this phone yours with customization. Using it from say one I could feel the smoothness of the UI and the features. Whike AI fearures are miasing its nothing to deter you away from a wonderul experience. Gaming in this phoen works like a charm. Easily one of the best gaming phones with vapor cooling and sustained frame rate performance. Only downsides would be lack of health features which is essential if you keep track of your well being but that can easily be solved by buying oneplus watch 2 and that should sync the health metrics with native oneplus health app or google fit app. Standby battery time is also excellent. ... MoreOp knocked it out of the park with such a solid phone with amazing performance, splid battery life and tons of customization.

Plus the setup with google fi wad easy and excellent although since this phone is not officially supported by google fi some features like automatic network switching, 5G speed might be missing but nothing that takes away from your general day to day usage. Forgot to mentjin camera performance is also solid with Hasselbad color tuning and with the new software update it shoukd let you toggle between master mode which is essentially pro mode giving you tons of flexibility. The usability is also top notch with such a large phone feeling like a small phone in hand again makes it very easy and pleasant to use. All in all get this phone and you will keep loving it!!

[Rewarded Review] Great purchase

Bought the open box - excellent for this phone and got a flawless unit which makes it this purchase such a snag. This phone is one of the best values you can get in a flagship, especially if you're more of a power user. Before this I had a Pixel 7 Pro but wanted something with better battery and stronger performance while not being too limited.Pros:- Great hardware- Battery life is great- Charging is extremely fast with a larger battery capacity as well- Hasselband cameras allow for great shots- Green Marble Finish (my favorite design of any phone thus far) :)- Customizable and Unlockable (officially)- Exceptional ValueCons:- Battery life is a little lackluster COMPARED to reviews. This being said: It lasts a lot longer than other phones I've owned. It ... MoreBought the open box - excellent for this phone and got a flawless unit which makes it this purchase such a snag.

This being said: It lasts a lot longer than other phones I've owned. It easily gives me over a day of idle with typically slightly over 8 hours of heavy use. I've seen where people get more than this but to be fair, I use a lot of heavy battery consumption apps.- Battery might need a few learning cycles for calibration (use phone until it runs completely, charge it while off to 100%). This is kind of an annoyance but if you do this a couple times, you'll get better battery life. This teaches the phone how to best utilize battery life (you know how modern tech and ML goes)- UI interface. While not awful, I do think the UI could be better. Not as clean as the Pixels, not as customizable as others (Xiaomi, Oppo, Samsung, etc)Overall, there's nothing I really hate about this phone. The cons are just slight critiques rather than actual problems. Currently not a phone on the market that I would choose to use over this one. And like.. just look at the green marble colorway.. :)

[Rewarded Review] Many positives, few negatives

I have been using this phone full time for approximately a month now after transferring from a Samsung S22+. The phone excels in many places but has a few detractors that are minor annoyances.Display is very good, and has options for changing resolution as well as refresh rate. Easily gets bright enough for outside use but wish it would dim lower. When looking straight on, a slight ghosting effect takes place due to the decision to curve the edge of the glass. (Photo attached)Camera is good a majority of the time, and the app has many features available. I've had issues with color accuracy in dim lighting, as well as poor shutter speed resulting in blurry photos that need to be retaken. In my experience shooting at 4k 60 FPS videos look excellent, and the ... MoreI have been using this phone full time for approximately a month now after transferring from a Samsung S22+.

I've had issues with color accuracy in dim lighting, as well as poor shutter speed resulting in blurry photos that need to be retaken. In my experience shooting at 4k 60 FPS videos look excellent, and the microphones capture audio well.Battery life I am slightly let down by their claims. With resolution and refresh rate set to automatically adjust, I find myself charging the phone at the end of the day; typically with 20-30% remaining. Big plus is the charging, as the you can fully charge the phone from dead in under 30 minutes.Performance of the phone is great, I've experienced no slow downs and wouldn't expect to with 16 GB of RAM. There are a few small features Samsung incorporates into their operating system that I miss, and system/security updates are not as frequent.Speakers I have no input on as I typically listen on headphones. The customization and overall feel of the vibration motor is impressive. Build quality is nice, having a physical silent/vibrate/ring slider is a nice convenience to have, as well is the built in I.R. blaster. Design is subjective, I personally feel the camera array did not need to take up 25% of the back of the phone.Overall a great buy for the asking price of $899 as it easily hangs with or exceeds the more expensive flagship phones. I was able to purchase mine as an open box in excellent condition to make it an even better deal as well.
