IPHONE/FLAGSHIP KILLER
First things first i have owned every iPhone from the 7 all the way up to the 14 plus then decided its time for a change, a real change not just a slightly different color or slightly different looking camera so i Bought the OnePlus 12R and after just 3 days of having it, without any hesitation i decided i am not going back to Apple, the screen on this OnePlus looks FAR FAR better than any iphone i've owned amd the battery is also FAR FAR better than any iphone i've owned i will put it this way even Apple said for the iphone 14 lineup the 14 plus "has the best battery life" and it still does not hold a candle to the OnePlus 12R, still not convinced? Well the iphone 14 plus retailed for $899 when it was released and this OnePlus is just $550-$600 for the 16GB of ram, 256GB variant not to mention the OnePlus has a 120 Hertz refresh rate and the iphone 14 plus was just a 60 Hertz refresh rate, my point is if you are considering switching to this from iphone do not even consider it just go for it and you will be more then glad you did so you will feel as if Apple has been robbing you blind for the past several years over how Crazy good the Value is on the Oneplus 12R its an easy 11 out of 10 stars for me

Shades of Samsung S24 Ultra
The OnePlus 12R is shades of the Samsung S23 Ultra, only it's less than half the price! The battery life is actually even better than the S23 Ultra, which was/is still stellar, with the OnePlus 12R having a higher 5500mah capacity battery; that in itself is pretty impressive considering how thin and light it is. There is no Stylus or wireless charging, but considering I never used either with my old S23 Ultra, could care less. And wireless charging shortens a battery's lifespan from the heat it generates. As a matter of fact, I won't even use the "unbelievably included" 80watt charger; instead, I slow charge it with my PC. Here is an example of how good the battery life is: I charged the 12R to 100% 36 hours ago, and right now it's sitting at 84%. I'm not a heavy user, but I texted and made calls as usual, went on Facebook, YouTube, Facebook app, messenger app, surfed the web & took photos. I can't stress enough how good the battery life is and was a major selling point to me along with it having the still very much of a Flagship 8 Gen 2 S.O.C. & really good screen. Speaking of the screen, it's and LTPO4 AMOLED screen which can go as high as 120hz refresh rate & all the way down to 1hz. It's silky smooth and the screen looks incredible with colors that really pop and deep pure blacks. Build quality is "Flagship" level, love the curved screen. The body is aluminum, front is Victus 2 glass, and the back is Gorilla Glass 5. No cheap mid-range plastic parts here. This phones' build is excellent. As far as the camera(s), well the main 50MP is great, in fact it's the same sensor that's used in the non-R OnePlus 11 5G. the 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras are a "meh". Another plus is it has a pre-installed screen protector, saving me from having to order one online. Too bad BestBuy doesn't sell cases for this phone because I no choice but to wait for the one to ship from Amazon. And one last thing: BestBuy is giving out $100 gift cards withe purchase of this phone, So I actually only spent $499 on the 256/16GB model. This should be awarded phone of the year. So if you're looking for an amazing $500 flagship (killer) or want to step out of iPhones' sandbox of an operating system, this should be your first choice. I have the box sitting on my trophy shelf of high-end electronics, most of which were bought from BestBuy.

OnePlus 12R Review
So far, I've liked most of what the OnePlus 12R offers. I bought it to replace a OnePlus 6 that had run out of storage. Size of a new phone was a concern as I have small hands. I could not see an actual phone "to try it on," so it was leap of faith that worked out. Size and feel are good, but screen shots using the buttons is cumbersome and I don’t always get all three fingers correctly on the screen to do the “gesture” version, but good that it offers two ways to get them. Camera is adequate for me. After all, I had a OnePlus 6, so it was an upgrade. I miss that OnePlus did not provide a clear gel case, like with the OnePlus 6, but I was very careful until getting one from Amazon. Without a case the phone was slippery and easily slid off surfaces and fell on the floor. Blue color is beautiful and I like the look of the curved screen edges. I also like that the fingerprint to unlock is on the front, too. I don’t like that, if I want notifications on lock screen (which I do), only choice is to have all the apps appear on the home screen, so I put the lesser used ones on the last “page.” Other dislike is that the screen quickly fades if I don’t have a finger on it. I did research and did not find how that could be changed. I also wish it had the option to add an SD card, but it seems only a few phone brands/models do. We’ll see how quickly I use up the 256 GB storage. My OnePlus 6 with 128 GB was a challenge during its last year of use as I had run out of storage and was constantly getting messages about it and restricted in how I used it. I really enjoyed my OnePlus 6 (until the last year or so), and hope to do the same with the OnePlus 12R. If it continues to perform as it has thus far, I would definitely buy it again. There is a plethora of video reviews of the 12 and 12R on the internet that include comparisons with similar phones, which helped me to make my decision. I rated the display quality 4 stars because of quickly fading and the camera a 4 also because there is better out there.
