OnePlus 12 (Glacial White, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage)

Excellent, value for money

Everything is best about this phone but in bgmi is runs at 80-90 fps

Still works flawlessly after one year of purchase

This was my return to OnePlus brand in 5 years after OnePlus 7. Previously I was using Samsung Galaxy S22+ for 2 years. My initial experience was great, but after a few months, I started to feel the phone's performance getting hit, which was a shock as Samsung promised 5 years of OS updates and it got a degraded performance just in a few month's time. Also, the phone was heating up pretty badly even with a short span of gaming and drained the battery. Then I decided to switch ASAP as the Amazon GIF was about to start and picked the Glacial white colour and looks luxurious. Also got the OnePlus Buds pro 2 worth 9k totally free.To begin with, I was a bit confused to purchase OnePlus phone with all the green lines & motherboard fiasco. After a heavy research, I convinced myself to purchase the phone. Till now the phone has been performing great and I am happy. My experience is drafted as pointers below:1. Size of the phone - Yes, it is a big & heavy phone an might need some tine to get used to it. I have big hands and I felt convenient holding it. The camera module is a bit bulky, but this issue got resolved after I slapped on a Ringke case.2. Performance - After purchasing, you have to give it a few days to adjust to your daily routines, charging habits etc. an you will notice some mild heating with some jitters in the UI. But after that the phone is now buttery smooth and I just love the way the animations work. Only time you can feel some heat is during the camera use and charging. I play PES 2025 occasionally and it was smooth.3. Cameras - Yes, Samsung did have a great set of cameras, but got degraded with updates. As of now OnePlus 12 takes good photos. The macro& portrait shots are excellent. Hope they keep improving on this. Videos are also good enough. Selfie camera here is still not upto the mark & Samsung wins in the selfie section.4. Battery & Charging - This department really takes my breath away. My battery anxiety has gone down now. I easily get more than 7hrs of SOT & 100W charger is extremely fast and saves my time. Samsung literally lost in this department face down.5. Screen - It's a 2k OLED curved screen manufactured by BOE that is bright enough with 1600 Nits of HBM. I could easily read under direct sunlight and the LTPO display with the adaptive refresh rate works like a charm. This is my first curved screen experience and still getting used to it, but does look premium.6. Build quality - The phone is sturdy with Gorilla glass victus 2 in from & gorilla glass in the back. It holds firmly in your hands, but us a case as it is slippery.7. OS - One UI is really good, loaded with features. Oxygen OS is now Color OS and has lost it's Oxygen OS feel. But the OS is lighter than One UI which makes the SD8gen3 chipset snappier. It also has a few tricks up its sleeve and is very handy. (P.S. - Happy to see the 3 fingers screenshot, as Samsung did miss this.)Some cons that I noticed:1. They could have give IP68 at this price.2. The cameral initially seems a bit off, but once you get used to its working mode, zoom style etc., then it will be fine.3. Since I come from Samsung, I feel that some features in Samsung could have been implemented here also (like modes & routines, AI image editor).4. Since the Greenline issues & motherboard issue persists in almost all phone brands, better take in the extended warranty at Rs 999.5. Getting a screen protector is still a challenge. I have installed a skin to avoid scratches.The buds are also working fine and has a great audio signature.Hopefully this phone lasts for me well. Will keep you all posted in case of any updates. (I am using the Ringke Camo back cover which sits perfectly with the phone, just FYI)Thank you!Update on 14 Oct 2024 - The phone is still performing well and the battery life is remarkable. For people looking for a good case, please select the Ringke case for Oneplus 12 as it has a better screen protection and holding grip. I took the camouflage version as it's back is not a fingerprint magnet.Thank you.

Purchased on May 05, 2025. The mobile phone was bought with 20% discount and 6000rs off with HDFC card. The effective price is 46000rs. Mobile was delivered on the same day I.e May 5, 2025.Here the disappointing point is the mobile was manufactured on May 2024 that means the mobile is one year old & when we switch on the mobile we have noticed multiple black spots on the top of the display.My suggestion is please don't buy

Super

Best Camera setup at this priceGood quality display nice visibility in Direct sunlightNice battery

I was using OnePlus Nord 2 before I purchased OP 12. Seriously considering the camera functionalities, my initial consideration was the Galaxy S23 due to its price which has come down a lot since last year. It would cost me somewhere around 43k for that.OP12 was 65k which was too much for me. However, the 2000k flat dicount along with exchange value just got hold of my attention. I was getting around 6k exchange value along with 10k promotional discount which eventually brought the phone around 47k. I was very sceptical about the exchange process and I even called up Amazon to clear if the 10k discount was assured... When the phone arrived, I had partially made up my mind to accept the fact that my exchange may not work or I might get far less value than what I was promised. To my surprise, nit one penny was taken from my privilege.😃!! I got the phone for the promised value and boy I was happy with the phone.Let me leave a dedicated camera feedback. Before I used Nord 2, my device was Poco f1. I wa very happy with the camera in that phone. I assumed Nord 2 would be better because it had a better camera hardware. But I was disappointed with the paint like pictures generated from my Nord 2. OP 12 camera performance was a breath of refreshing air bringing back the dying camera man inside me. I am super happy with the cameras. One thing that has been bugging me is the hazy output that the cameras give whenever the sunrays contact the lens. I use my hands as cover to get good output in such cases.Now, Here are my verdicts based on my experience with OnePlus Nord 2:1. Camera: 9.5/102. Display: 10/103. Haptics feedback: 10/10♥️4. Performance: 10/105. OS: 9/106. Battery: 8.5/10The apps like chrome and Album had some lag issues which has been impoved quiet a lot as of now. The battery as per revies seemed like a beast. But in my usage, it felt underwhelming considering the hype created by YouTubers. It is surely not a bad battery, infact far better than average batteries... Just that I was expecting it to be a beast.Sorry! No comments on games... I hardly play graphic intensive games these days...Never wrote a big post like this before. This is my gratitude for the love of my New Phone.😊
