Logistics and timing meant I had to wait before I could use the OnePlus 12, but it turns out this great Android phone was worth it.
Since it arrived, the OnePlus 12 has been sitting on a shelf, unused, behind my desk. Apart from a few days when I tested out the camera, battery, and performance, I haven’t had a chance to really dig into the phone.
Related To see the OnePlus 12 waiting for me hurt, but unfortunately, due to logistics and timing, it made more sense for my colleague Christine Romero-Chan to fully review the phone and for me to revisit it a few months after release to see how it was holding up. It joins the OnePlus Open folding phone as one of the few flagship OnePlus phones that doesn’t have my name at the top of the review on Digital Trends.
I certainly don’t need to charge the OnePlus 12 every night, even with three hours of screen time during the day. Its incredible efficiency was something I immediately noticed over those initial few days, and it is helped greatly by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Right now, at the time of writing, I’ve used the OnePlus 12 for 30 minutes today, and it has eaten one single percent of battery life.
OnePlus of old Looking back at my reviews of old OnePlus phones, I can see a very similar pattern. I rarely got excited about one particular aspect of the phone, but usually admired how well the fundamental features had been implemented. A OnePlus phone should do what I ask, when I ask, without much fuss. There have been a few odd decisions over the years, such as the OnePlus 8 Pro’s bizarre Color Filter camera and the horrid misstep that was the OnePlus 10T.
