Apart from being an amazing worth for a flagship telephone, the OnePlus additionally has stable cameras that take sharp and clear photographs. Simply notice that the digicam module is strikingly cumbersome and you will see a watermark from Hasselblad (the digicam firm OnePlus companions with) until you decide to take away it.

The battery life is one other win. We measured a lifespan of over 26 hours in our video rundown check. And after simply 10 minutes of wall charging, the telephone acquired from 10 to 55 %. It refilled to 37 % in the identical period of time sitting on a OnePlus wi-fi charger, which is offered individually for $50.

The design is pleasingly “retro” (if you happen to can apply that time period to an aesthetic that harkens again a mere 5 years) with the rounded corners and tapered edges of one thing just like the Galaxy S10+. The OnePlus 12 additionally takes notes from the previous with regards to AI — in that it largely forgoes the buzzy new tech in favor of primary (however stable) smartphone performance.

The display and processor are totally fashionable, nonetheless, with an excellent vivid and crisp 120Hz display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that we discovered to supply fluid efficiency, regardless of clocking in a tad low on some benchmarks.
