It just feels so good to see companies like One Plus enter the competition and make it tougher for the other flagship companies and force them to make their products better

This just proves that phones still haven’t hit their peak and incremental improvement is still possible. Well done!

Round icon style is available in this OS but have additional steps Settings - personalisation- iconstyle - custom- select square icon and below it have rounded corners,put it to maximum

I can't appreciate enough how detailed your reviews are! No one else does it such detailed and micro as well as macro focused reviews. Most of them just forget about gaming or even performance. Thank you for bringing us the whole bundle of a review. Hats off!

Thank you for mentioning the PWM problem. It's been so many years of those horrible OLED screens and I feel that it's not talked as much as it should be.

LOVE THE VIDDEO!! Also love the casual TyranitarTube shout out by having him on the screen as you describe "Aqua Touch"

The best part is where he used Mr.Bean analogy to explain 😂 16:41 . Too awesome!

Shoutout to your video editors, they make every transition and edit look so clean! 🔥

Thank you for addressing the PWM issue / flickering of phone screens ! The community that is experiencing these eye strains and headache is awaiting more attention on this topic, and awaiting a high end phone resolving this, as it might have health impact for many users without them even knowing !

Great detailed review. I'd wait a month or two and revisit the camera part. OnePlus usually gets the camera system done just enough for launch and then works on improvements shortly after. I have had 3t,4,5t, 7pro, 7 pro McLaren. I can't wait for my 16gb version to come!

We need a 12R review! Absolutely stellar video as always. Editing and clarity always top notch!

*12:15** IMagine you are using the phone at 3am you get a notification and it get hidden, and you see no one near* 💀

9:23 in icon style section there's an option named "custom" Select it and You'll see rounded corner slider there just slide it to max and you'll get rounded icons :)

This was the first review i saw for OnePlus and since then I've looked at more than a dozen OnePlus 12 reviews. None of the others have as clear and complete a review as this review from this English fella. I found myself compelled to come back and check again.

Great comunicatior. Super nice review. I'll start following you channel now. I'm from Brazil

This channel has become my go to for reviewing new phones. Accompanied with extended detailing, my man goes to the next level of explaining things in laymans terms, and not to mention the incredible animation and editing. Kudos to your growth.

I have a OP 8T (still an amazing phone for being almost 4yr old) and I find myself using the alert slider all the time. It's honestly one of my favorite features of the phone. Edit: I have the OP12 now, and it's absolutely incredible.

this review is probably the best review I've ever watched of a phone. No wonder you got more followers than my country has habitants.

1:50 Gotta love that Arun acknowledges that Ttar's carrying the whole Pokemon Hype season

This reminds me of the Oneplus 7t Pro in terms of its fluidity! Glad to see OnePlus back to what it felt like

Nice seeing OnePlus back at competitive prices

I've been following OP12 since it was announced, but your video was the best explanations I've seen.

I always loved your videos. So informative

I have a OnePlus 5 and had a Xiaomi 6a before that. My phone still has an amazing battery life, even after 5-6 years.

Love the way you dimmed the video brightness when you were talking about dimming.

9:19 To achieve circular icons, choose the custom option and select the first shape. Then, adjust the rounded corners slider to its maximum setting.

Thank you for the truly in-depth review of this phone. This is far better to watch vs fancy shots of the phone

As an owner of an 8T, I can vouch that the split battery was a genius idea.

02:01 I love how the phone opens google meet when he's talking about it being able to differentiate between water and finger lmao

Thanks for the detailed technical review. Seems like you have talked with OnePlus pretty long to understand their tech in absolute detail. You have made me your fan with this review. 👍

I'm getting my S24 Ultra but I seem to really like what OnePlus is doing with these phones! Used to love them and had a OnePlus 7 Pro but they started getting more expensive and became less worth it over other brands. But these seem priced very well and I'll have to keep an eye on them.

9:22 You can get a circle but it's a bit hidden. When selecting the square icons, you can adjust the corner radius. If you turn it all the way up, it'll end up as a circle. At least that's the way it works on OxygenOS 12 - they might've changed it but I don't see why they'd do that.

Excellent review of an excellent phone. Your comments hit the mark in all areas. Thanks.

9:19 you can make it circle by going in custom icons and make the rounded corner tab full to get the classic rounded icon look

14:40 Loved when you opened Spotify and saw Pritam da/ Vishal-Shekar! Lessgo Desi-boyz😂

As someone that is PWM sensitive and can’t use any modern OLED phones, I appreciate you bringing up the topic.

I always forget to like your videos but this one made me do it, one of the best videos.. 👌🏻

the video comparison of oneplus and the iphone was too good! The explanation of what is happening there was an AHA moment.

This is definitely a phone I’m looking forward to try! I’ve been an iPhone and Samsung user, and this one is definitely looking like a flagship of the year!

As someone who has been retired for several years, I can only say that I so wish phones like this had been available 15 years ago when I traveled for a living. The devices we endured back in the day were so filled with compromise I'm amazed we bothered with them at all. Today, my day-to-day driver is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, but I am so grateful for the smartphone features that have migrated to it from device manufacturers like One Plus. Additionally, your talent for keeping me aware of which new features to keep an eye out for is greatly appreciated. Your channel is one of the few tech channels that gets the full ring of the UKposts "bell." My compliments.

Superb review! Wow. You really know how to discuss details that people might otherwise not understand. Really great review. I got my Oneplus 12 a week ago and I'm extremely happy with it. I discovered that the Oxygen OS 14 has "Transitions" in it so there are like 5 or 6 different transitions to choose from when moving between screens. I chose "roll" which makes all the icons turn into a 3D tube and spin as I move from one screen to another. Love it! My wife's Samsung S21+ was upgraded to Android 14 and with all our searching, could not find Transitions on it. So Oneplus opted to add the feature into their version of Android 14 on the Oxygen OS and give it to their customers. Would have been nice to see it demonstrated for people in this review. Transitions are located at the bottom of the screen when you hold your finger on a blank spot of a screen and cause Widgets and other things to be displayed. I'm also super impressed with how excellent the new WiFi and Bluetooth are. As far as I'm concerned they are perfect. The signals connect way better than my previous devices, and without hiccups. And the stereo speakers are really good, too. I'm a musician and so music listening is something my ears are always honed in on. I concur with all the things MrWho'sTheBoss said in this review.

Very nice review with simple explanations for the everyday user to understand how software and hardware cooperate , keep it up !

I find it odd when OnePlus HAS already fixed some of the camera problems in the OP12 in their OP7 Pro, that phone had laser autofocus and a crazy good pop-up front facing camera

Wow i didn't expect to see such unique improvements on fundamentals on smartphones. I figured we peaked that and now we're onto 'new bleeding edge' stuff of possibilities with pixel's ai processing and such. Glad to see there's so much to do in the base pillars of a phone. This made me want to buy the phone

sweet. Time for an upgrade. I am still rocking the one plus 7pro from 2019 and it was an amazing phone. I am so glad that one plus are still on top of their game even after all this time.

It's so interesting to me coming from P40pro and now having P60pro to hear things that I have experienced with Huawei from then and it seems to be new now.

Forever heartbroken that they experimented with the pop-up camera with the OP7 Pro, got massively positive feedback from it, and then never implemented it again 😭 still might have to consider this 12 given how insanely great it is otherwise

1:50 , my man Ttar finally got the shoutout he deserves. This guy really is one of the goat of UKposts 😂

The amount of research he has done for this video is amazing! THE most detailed video one this beast of a phone Just ordered mine, looking forward to it

One thing that you haven't really covered imo is the reception. How well does the phone receive normal mobile data indoors/outdoors in comparison to other phones (while on the same vendor)? For me, who is living in an area where the cellphone coverage can be really spotty, that is a point that is definitely missing. Have you tested that and simply not included, or is that something that is simply being ignored due to the fact that it's not important enough for most users?

As a happy owner of the OnePlus 11, really happy to see the OnePlus 12 absolutely killing it. Welcome back, OnePlus :) Phones like this are exactly why tech enthusiasts fell in love with you guysss

I was looking for a new phone and I considered getting S24 Ultra but a lot of their improvements is focused on camera. That's just a thing that I really don't use that often, I have no interest in capturing every moment of my life. However, this phone looks amazing for me - great performance , great battery life, cheaper than iPhone and Samsung... And if the only worse parameter is camera, well, it's not really a competition anymore. Thanks for this review!

Most detailed and precise review! Thanks!

2:52 😂 you care about how the phone looks Other than that, great video. Very informative, which is something I love so I'll be following you for everything.

You still get me excited to watch your reviews, man. It's been like 6,7 years now and you get better and better. Video quality, humor, you name it, you are absolutely genuis.😊

One of the best phone reviews I've recently watched. Lots of actual information about the device. Love it.

21:31 all this that you like is from the Hasselblad tuning. That's what they're trying to add to "yet another tri camera phone"

So i have had a Samsung Note4 (2013) which was decent and then i moved to a 1+7T around 2019 i think.. Samsung came with so much bloatware and their own OS that despite being a great phone would sometimes heat up or freeze etc.. the 1+7T has given absolutely no issues till date.. i think i have had to restart it maybe thrice in al these 5 years .. I have been looking at comparison videos between the 1+12R and 1+12 and was almost certain that i dont need a new phone since the 1+7T has no problems so far (well, no OS updates / security patches and abysmal 128GB storage that cannot be expanded) and this video came along.. the quality+knowledge of+in this video is such that you have single handedly convinced me of gettignt he 1+12 now..

Just pre-ordered mine, they are offering the 16gb/512gb model for the same 799.99 as the 12gb/256 model if you preorder, plus they gave me 300 for my old OnePlus 9 (which I only paid $300 for during a black Friday sale ) so only ended up costing alittle over $500 bucks for the Top spec OnePlus 12, well worth it. Can't wait for it to arrive the week after my bday, gonna be a great birthday present to myself lol

12:04 idk why but Arun listening to "Subah Hone Na De" seems oddly funny and wholesome.

I got mine today. It's awesome 😎 love it my first flagship phone

I've now had a oneplus north for around 2.5 years and I love almost everything about it. The few lows I have are making me think of getting a replacement though. Notifications: the haptic slider on the side gets switched all the time, and the vibration on it is so minimal that I keep missing even phone calls, even when my phone is in my pocket or directly next to me on the couch.

first tech review video that was unrelated to anything I was currently looking to buy that i watched til completion. Learned quite a bit about new tech. Subscribed.

1:40 The alert slider has proven to be exceptionally advantageous in various situations for me, it demonstrating its practicality when you use the phone for long term rather then just for few weeks.

the one feature i realy like is being able to set up genstures so that when the screen is fully off i can draw a V shape to turn on flashlight arrows to skip songs two lines with two fingers to pause etc i can customize it a lot this feature is so slept on ....

Amazing review! Keep it up!

I'm not a huge camera guy. I only take pictures when needed. I don't take selfies and upload them to instagram or anything. So this phone seems right up my alley! (Plus, I currently have the OnePlus 10T)

Such an amazing review. Thank you for talking about the PWM issue. I didn’t know why i was getting so frequent headaches.

So many new changes which bring amazing quality for a smartphone user...thanks Arun! This was a lasting review for a phone that MKBHD says is same as previous version..!! This review would alone make me switch to this new Android...been using the OnePlus 7t Pro till now!! Go team 1+

You are the best! Thanks bro!

Amazing explanation on the brightness and pwm dimming. I love that. Please keep stuff like that in reviews, important to know for me!

Oooooo that slick visual effects 3 seconds in, love it

That's a lot of info. Well done Aron

Love the whimsicott smogon page Arun snuck in there. He tends to frame his Pokemon knowledge as pretty generic to make it accessible to a wider audience I’m guessing, but the deep cut is appreciated lol

12:02 Did anyone else notice “ Subha hone na de “ 😂

Really glad u reviewed this phone, I was confused whether to get this or the new Iqoo phone, I'm choosing this purely for the amazing software experience cause hardware is mostly similar and I believe as a brand I trust OnePlus a lot nowadays, thanks to how well they addressed the green line issue (unlike several other companies) Overall ridiculously good phone, and an amazing video as always

Here is a pro at reviews. Making it look SO effortless throughyears kf experience. Many, many hours of editing and takes to make such a "simple" looking video. Much appreciated Arun.

Have a oneplus 8T rn and im so tired of a bunch of minor bugs but at the same time everything they mentioned in this video still blows my mind that it has it

You reviews are appealing and descriptive ❤❤ Keep it up..😊😊

14:39 "The Pritam Mixes", "Desi Boyz" above, God! Aron has a sweet taste in music too 🎶🤭

Just upgraded from a very old Galaxy S8 to the OP12 yesterday! Can't wait!

Excellent job brother. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into this absolutely informative review 💯

Bro gives phone reviews faster than even the fastest news reporting channel's 😂💀

Oneplus alert slider is brilliant. I've had oneplus phones since oneplus 2 and I use the slider all the time.

Just today been looking at getting a new phone and was considering s24+ but with the amount of numbers this thing put out, im tempted to get this, also here in the uk the 16gb 512gb is on offer for £900, thats £200 cheaper than the s24+ and thats the 12gb 256gb version. thank you for this video

Good review, as always. Just a correction on the PWM dimming part: for what I know, the latest iPhone 15 and 15 pro/max use a refresh rate of 480hz, while the Samsung Galaxy s23 uses 240hz. Not sure about s24, I think they upgraded their screens to a 492hz PWM.

Cool tech, thank you for sharing so much details 👍🏼

Appreciate the breakdown for all who digest your content

Super detailed review, very interesting 👍

I have been subscribed to this channel for about 3 years now and this according to me is the best video that you have ever made ❤ Keep up the good work

Glad to see OnePlus back to what they started with, flagship killers. I own a N20 and have been pretty happy with it after owning Motorola and Samsung phones, kind of miss the moto gestures but oxygen, lack of bloat and the battery life mostly make up for that. The shelf like you mentioned is one of the thing that doesn't make much sense and the N20 not being one of the higher end phones doesn't get android version updates like the others but for the money great phone for my use.

This is one the most sensible reviews about a phone I have ever listened to in a very long time and hats off to you sir for it. Maybe you could include things that others don't talk about like bluetooth connectivity to devices (both range & seamless connection), hotspot connectivity to laptops (both ease of getting connected to Android, Mac and uninterrupted connection), mobile tower signal reception (both 5g and 4g bands nos and connectivity in challenging remote areas where signal reception in not the best and how does OnePlus 12 perform in such a scenarios) - because these were the things that made OnePlus famous in the first place. I mean everybody talks a lot about camera, display, battery, processor & gaming but I appreciate you for diving deep into it and explaining the little nuances of it - hats off I loved it. But these little points I have mentioned above are ignored and not talked about but it is these fundamentals that make a good phone.

Shots fired at tech chap Just saw one of his thumbnail and though it was a mrwhosetheboss video

14:39 love Arun's music taste :)

Loved the Pritam Mix in your music app ❤

Very happy to see OnePlus making a comeback and generating a big splash on the smartphone scene. I adored the 7 Pro when I had it. Now if they could be more competitive and consistent in their software and security updates, it would be even better.

The photographic functioning of the oneplus at 19.00 with the shadows is actually more impressive and correct than the iphone's that's eliminating shadows automatically. Theoretically exposing correctly for the brightest part of the image is the way to go with true shadows (in photography this contrast can be essential) and in post-processing bringing up the shadows should be left as a choice to the user.

So much amazing information in the video! What an excellent review!!!

It was refreshing to see that Arun still listens to Hindi Songs prom the 2010's era. Loved to see Subha Hone Na De being played at 12:07.
