The OnePlus 12 stands out with a larger battery, improved display, and revamped cameras, while maintaining a familiar design. Key features include a 6.82-inch OLED display with QHD resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses the OnePlus 12’s non-expandable memory and its interface, Oxygen OS 14 atop Android 14, noting its similarity to Oppo and Realme phones due to the same manufacturer. Unique to OnePlus are the custom font and specific clock styles with red accents for the always-on display. Highlights include the IR blaster for controlling appliances and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which offers better performance and ray tracing for games, though CPU benchmark scores are lower than expected in default mode. The battery has been upgraded to 5400mAh, providing 14 hours and 11 minutes of active use, and the 100W charger enables speedy charging from 0 to 70% in 15 minutes, with a full charge in 24 minutes, plus support for 50W fast wireless charging.

In this part of the video, the reviewer evaluates the camera performance of the OnePlus 12. The main camera is critiqued for being overexposed with a slight white balance issue, but praised for its excellent electronic stabilization and lack of focus hunting or Jello effect. The telephoto camera at three times zoom excels in sharpness and detail, though it has higher contrast than preferred. It also performs well in low light, providing good detail in both well-lit and shadowed areas, despite a narrower dynamic range and exposure issues. The telephoto camera’s six times zoom offers decent quality, and its capability to focus on small subjects is highlighted, distinct from the ultra-wide camera’s macro mode.
The ultra-wide camera delivers good detail and dynamic range, though some outdoor scenes may look desaturated. Its low light performance is commendable with well-exposed photos and lively colors. However, its 4K video detail is only average. Selfies taken with the front-facing camera are detailed with good white balance and likable colors. Overall, the OnePlus 12 is seen as a significant upgrade from its predecessor, though it falls short with its IP rating and video recording quality compared to other flagships. The video ends by suggesting alternatives like the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the iPhone 15 Plus.
