OnePlus 12

Beautiful curved display Flowy Emerald is a truly unique color Powerful performance Hasselblad camera system delivers great results Two-day battery Very fast wired and wireless charging

Back glass is slippery Curved screen has some annoyances Large size can be unwieldy

“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.

In the end, the OnePlus 12 makes it quite easy for us. It's so great in many ways and only has small-ish missteps in just a couple of areas - that sounds like grounds for a recommendation.

Large, mega-bright curved screen ; Consistently solid camera performance ; OxygenOS is a visual treat ; Excellent battery life

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

The OnePlus 12 ticks plenty of boxes, from premium display tech to capable Hasselblad-branded cameras and reliable all-day battery life. However, the hefty price hike is a tad disappointing, especially with lacklustre durability compared to similarly...

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

Only splash-resistant, can’t take a dunk underwater ; Not as many years of updates as Samsung, Google, or Apple ; No new AI features or titanium frame to brag on

If you’re considering the OnePlus 12, you should buy it, because OnePlus knows its audience well, and this phone was made for your needs. It’s the coolest-looking phone in a long time, maybe ever, while others are boring metal slabs. You’ll get better...

Some great camera options ; Sumptuous design ; Gaming phone levels of power ; Astounding battery life

Some cameras don't make the grade ; More slippery than a bar of soap

If you're in the market for an Android phone right now, you can do a lot worse than OnePlus. Their new flagship is packed with top tech which is not just good for now, but should ensure your handset stays good for the foreseeable future.

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

Lacks full IP68 rating ; Four years of OS upgrades now lags behind category best
