OnePlus 12 512GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Abhik Sengupta]()
Verdict
The OnePlus 12 continues to embody OnePlus' flagship-killer mantra. It may not focus heavily on generative AI features yet, but it provides a reliable performance, which most regular customers value. For upcoming content creators, some versatile editing tools should help you up your Instagram game. For professional content creators, OnePlus 12 can be a good choice. However, the iPhone 15 Pro and Google Pixel 8 Pro offer more versatile cameras.
Pros
- Vivid display
- Clean Android 14 experience
- Reliable telephoto camera
- Solid battery backup
Cons
- Bulky design
- Average ultra-wide camera
Design and display
+
As mentioned, the OnePlus 12 looks more or less similar to the OnePlus 11 of last year but thicker. There are a couple of physical upgrades, purely for ergonomic reasons, but these aren't substantial. For instance, the position of the volume buttons and alert slider has been interchanged. The volume buttons also rest above the power button, which is more convenient for me.This year's colour options remain the same as before, coming in Black and Green. I received the green colour variant of the OnePlus 12, which doesn't disappoint by any measure. A closer look would also reveal that the camera module now adopts the same colour as the smartphone for uniformity. Shiny accents on the round camera module add a fantastic touch, especially under bright lights. The sides maintain a metal frame for added durability. The box also includes a protective case that matches the smartphone's overall aesthetics.Sadly, there's nothing to hide the increased thickness and weight of the OnePlus 12. While the weight may not bother you at first, it can be a bit tiresome to hold the smartphone for prolonged gaming or watching movies. To be fair, it's a common problem with most flagships as they continue to get thicker or heavier to incorporate extra hardware.The display now incorporates a couple of new upgrades, including the placement of the cutout of the selfie camera. The selfie cam is now at the top centre instead of the top left. The taller 6.8-inch AMOLED display offers 2K resolution (3,168 x 1,440 pixels) with up to 4,500 nits peak brightness. The OnePlus 12 also incorporates advanced LTPO technology to adjust refresh rates more efficiently, ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz. The addition of ProXDR technology, first introduced on the OnePlus Open, adjusts the brightness more accurately. Theoretically, ProXDR and LTPO technologies aim to improve battery life.While it's difficult to validate accuracy without proper equipment, the OnePlus 12 provides a comfortable viewing experience, both indoors and under harsh sunlight. The curved display doesn't present any accidental touch problems, which used to be an issue with older smartphones featuring the same screen type. However, curved displays pose some challenges during gaming, which I'll delve into later. For regular movie viewing or reading, the tall screen of the OnePlus 12 offers a crisp and vivid experience. The stereo speakers with 3D Spatial Audio improve the overall viewing experience.The screen is also protected by Corning Gorilla Victus 2, plus there's an Aqua Touch feature that allows using the phone even with wet fingers. It gets an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. The IP68 rating remains the gold standard for modern flagships.

One of the biggest updates that the OnePlus 12 incorporates is an upgraded camera system. The rear camera setup now includes a 50MP primary camera with a new Sony LYT-808 image sensor (1/1.4-inch) and a 64MP periscope-style telephoto camera with 3X optical and up to 100x digital zooming. There's also a 48MP ultra-wide camera. The front now includes a 32MP that can capture videos in 4K resolution at 30fps.

The OnePlus 12 comes in two storage variants, with the base model having 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The unit I am reviewing comes configured with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, priced at Rs 69,999. As mentioned, the OnePlus 12 draws power from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.In terms of pure benchmarks, the OnePlus 12 achieves decent scores on Geekbench v6 and AnTuTu (performance mode enabled) - much better than that of the Pixel 8 Pro with Tensor G3 SoC. However, the iQOO 12 (review) with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 performs better in the same test. Even in the Throttle Test, the iQOO 12 exhibited more stability than the OnePlus 12.In real life, it can be difficult to distinguish differences between speeds. For example, Instagram, YouTube, Netflix, and Camera all load almost simultaneously on the OnePlus 12 and iQOO 12. The former also captures photos in normal mode instantly. The OnePlus 12 offers brilliant read and write speeds, thanks to the USB 3.2 standard on the USB-C port. I also did not face any abrupt app crashes during my review.However, the OnePlus 12 is perhaps not the best companion for professional gamers. While it easily handles heavy titles, including BGMI, Call of Duty, Genshin Impact, GTA, and Asphalt 9, the curved screen occasionally leads to mis-touches. The OnePlus 12 generally maintained 60fps with most of these games, but the iQOO 12 offered a smoother FPS with the same settings.But using the OnePlus 12 for regular productivity-focused users shouldn't be an issue. It is the first OnePlus smartphone to ship with Android 14-based OxygenOS 14. The smartphone is also assured to receive four years of Android upgrades, which may seem tiny compared to the Google Pixel 8 (review) and Samsung Galaxy S24 series' seven years of Android update promise. Either way, four years are good enough for most flagships.The OnePlus 12 offers a clean Android experience (almost), which is a good step forward. The addition of the Infrared blaster to manage heavy appliances like TVs and AC directly via the smartphone makes the OnePlus 12 more versatile for productivity-focused users.There's also support for 5G. With an Airtel 5G Plus sim, I got up to 250Mbps speeds at my house in South Delhi. Do note that speeds vary based on the coverage.

To support all the new features, the OnePlus 12 now houses a bigger 5,400mAh battery. In a nutshell, the OnePlus offers an excellent battery life. With performance mode enabled, the highest screen resolution and refresh rate, and heavy gaming, the OnePlus 12 easily lasted for 12 hours. Toning down on these settings will easily fetch a longer battery life.With 100W charging support (box includes 100W charger), the OnePlus 12 took around 35 minutes to attain 100 percent charge. There's also support for 50W AirVOOC wireless charging.
