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. 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.

Oneplus 12. Great phone!
This is a great phone! The battery life is perfect. Lasts all day and more. Standby power is very low so it doesn't drain when you're not actually using it. I charge my phone at night wake up at 4 am for work and don't really touch it until lunchtime at noon and it's still at 99%. Charges ridiculously fast with the included charger. About 20 minutes for a full charge. I use an iPhone wireless charger at night for normal charging and it works perfectly. You only need the official wireless charger if you want to wireless charge at 50w. The camera is great. Some online reviews talk badly about it because the S24 camera is better but this camera is better than most phones out there. The chipset is super fast.Nothing seems to slow it down and so much RAM It never runs out. I'm extremely satisfied with it. It can be rooted easily too if that's important to you. Awesome phone!

Most complete OnePlus phone!
I’ve been using the OnePlus 12 since it was the brand's main flagship back in 2024, and it is still a solid choice for 2026. Even two years later, I haven’t had a single issue with it. While newer models have come out, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in this phone still handles every app and game with zero lag. The battery health has held up impressively well, and the 80W fast charging is still faster than most brand-new flagships from other companies today. If you're looking for a reliable, high-end experience without paying 2026 'Ultra' prices, the OnePlus 12 is still a total win.

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 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.

Easily one of the best phones I owned
Easily one of the best phones for the price. If you enjoy taking pictures, the Hasselblad cameras will take amazing pictures, and honestly, I have been very surprised by it. I am not a picture taker, I prefer performance, BUT. I am very impressed with this camera. It takes really good night pictures, and the moonshot it does is fantastic. Can do 95% of what a S24 Ultra can do, while being nearly half the price. The performance of this phone is easily the best. I can see myself having this phone for years to come due to this battery. The 5,400mah battery lasts me easily 2-3 days on a single charger without reaching for the charger, and the 80W charger in 10-15 minutes makes the battery go from 43% to 100% It has gestures, drawing a circle turns on the camera, doing a "V" turns on the flashlight, super helpful. It DOES NOT work on U.S Cellular, I know it works on AT&T and Version towers, not U.S Cellular. So Boost Mobile, Version, possibly Spectrum and such will work.
