“The OnePlus 12 is a tremendous smartphone value — and one of the top Android phones to beat in 2024.”

Excellent display, with Dolby Vision too.

IP65 rating when submersion-grade IP68 is the prevalent spec in the high-end segment.

No AI features ; Performance is slower than similarly specced phones ; IP65 resistance falls short for the price

Very cool look and design, especially in emerald green ; Amazing battery life and stellar performance ; Unique cameras take terrific portraits and selfies

Excellent all-day-and-then-some battery life ; Big, vibrant display ; Top-tier processor and tons of storage, even at the base configuration ; Good camera with lovely color processing
