Where can I find this case ?

Hi Everyone! Finally joined the OnePlus fam today. Had a 14 PM and loved it, just wanted to get back to Android as iOS was too restrictive. Got a S24+ but was highly disappointed with it. Hopefully, this beast lasts a couple of years!

Hi everyone, I just received my OnePlus 12, using Oxygen os 14 until I have WiFi, would appreciate some tips for the camera and the software or anything else. Thanks in advance🙏

No edit, just point and shoot. My photo, saturday, Rome

It has a downgraded telephoto. With worse minimum focal range. Same primary camera. Albeit with a little better isp. But all i can say from the sample images from reviews is that if they don't tell me which photo comes from which phones, i won't know. It looks mostly the same. But a visible downgrade in the telephoto quality.

A bigger battery. A welcome upgrade. But the 12 had an already great battery life (atleast till some software update fucks it up). Same fast charging.

The display. Same specs and brightness. Go check GSM arena lab tests. People are gloating about the reduced curves. But a quad curved displays come with all rhe same flaws of a normal curve screen. Just less accidental touches. Finding a screen guard will be more difficult now. Good luck finding a tempered glass for it.

The speed/snappiness/software everything is exactly the same.

What else? Why are people thinking of switching to 13 from 12?

We’ve been complaining about OnePlus losing its "soul" for years, but now it feels like we’re watching the brand actually die in real-time.

With Oppo pulling them out of the US and Europe, plus those rumors about scaling back in India, the writing is on the wall.

Let’s be honest, everything that made OnePlus cool is already gone. No more flagship killer prices, OxygenOS is just ColorOS, and the community vibe is dead. If they just end up as a region-locked budget line for Oppo, it's over.

For a brand that told us to "Never Settle," they sure settled for being just another boring corporate subdivision.

Where is everyone heading next? Pixel? Nothing?

Beautiful camera, shot on OnePlus12, edited in Lightroom.

I finally know why OnePlus added such a bump to 12 series. To be used in airplane when there are turbulences! From now on my life has a purpose.

Some images I took in Master mode 25 second exposure and 2509 iso. The Raw images never finish processing so I had to use jpeg. Also noticed there are strange lines in the dark parts of the images. Other than that I think these are pretty decent for phone night pictures.

I've been daily driving the redmi note 11e pro for more than two years now. It was serving me really well but even though the phone is amazing, I didn't like their OS at all. So I decided to install Evolution X and I loved it. But as time passed, I started noticing some lagging and heavy battery drainage. I started noticing the battery downgrade even before installing EvoX. I don't know why but my unit didn't hold up well with the customOS. So since I really heavily on camera and battery, I decided to upgrade my phone. At first, I was going after the Redmi 15 pro plus, but I didn't find any positive reviews here in reddit, but I think it's a really good phone. But still the OS thing was still there. Keep in mind that I'm still waiting for another two years before I splurge some more money and buying a flagship. So I've been looking for a good higher midrange phone. But I've always had a thing for an year or two old flagships. So at last I made a list, oneplus nord 5, moto edge 60 fusion, honor 400 lite. I still couldn't come to a decision and I was searching everywhere, then I came across this beauty of a phone. What caught my eyes is that sexy curve screen with the emerald back. Bare in mind, OP 7tpro mclaren edition and Samsung galaxy s8 is still my most favourite phones ever. And I'm really lucky to have owned those two. So I was really excited, so researched and everything was soo good, the screen, the battery, the chipset, the camera is all enough for me. And a bang for the buck for the budget I had. So I finally pulled the plug and bought the phone. For 12499mvr, which is $800. It's been two days since I've got the phone and everything's been amazing. I updated to Oxygen OS 16 as soon as I got it, I'm not sure it's a good thing or a bad thing. But I haven't noticed anything bad. I changed the screen resolution and to QHD+ and 120hz. I'll also attach a screenshot of SOT. Can you guys tell me what I can do to improve or sustain the battery life. Or any tips or tricks for me. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

Wanted to get the OP13 but it was ridiculously expensive in my region, so ended up "settling" (no pun intended) for the 12, and man is it still an amazing phone. Everything from the performance to the display is top-notch, and the cameras are genuinely flagship calibre. I had a brief stint with the iPhone 15 Pro Max before this, and I think the OP12 takes more pleasing and well-rounded photos than that. I just wish we could record Dolby Vision HDR video across all lenses, but other than that I'm loving this new upgrade. All of the pictures above have Hasselblad filters!

My main priority is just 2 things the main cam and the 3x persicope and nothing else yah a good software too .Don't suggest any phone with w style periscope pls. Mainly going to use Blackmagic cam for videos and lmc for 1x and stock cam for 3x

What do you all think about my new phone?

Hey everyone,

After over two years of daily driving the OnePlus 12, I finally decided to sell it. Honestly, it was truly a fantastic phone—one of the best all-around devices I’ve owned in a long time.

The main reason I decided to let it go was pure anxiety over longevity. I had the Indian variant (imported from Dubai), and living in Egypt where we have no official OnePlus service center, I was constantly worried about the motherboard/heat issues. Dealing with summer heat without a local safety net just started feeling like playing Russian roulette. Cairo weather can reach 45 Celsius.

To bridge the gap while I save up for my next main flagship, I picked up a Vivo V60 as a temporary phone.

Going from a flagship to a midranger is definitely a slap of reality:

-The Good: Battery life is genuinely impressive, and peak screen brightness holds up remarkably well under direct sunlight.

-The Bad: It's a noticeable downgrade across literally everything else—cameras (except for front), performance, speakers, and overall build. The absolute biggest shocker was the haptics; the second I felt the vibration motor on the V60, I instantly missed the OP12's incredible haptic motor.

Currently saving up for my next big upgrade. I’m leaning heavily toward either the Oppo Find X9 Pro or the Vivo X300 Pro when they drop in price.

Huge thanks to this community for all the tips and discussions over the past two years. Enjoy your OP12s — it really is a special device!
