OnePlus has steadily made a name for itself across the globe by offering competitively priced smartphones that undercut flagship phones from Samsung, Google and others.
The OnePlus 12 bucks this trend, and isn’t as cheap as the OnePlus 11 was at launch. But it does justify the price hike with some new features as well as providing all the stuff you’d expect: a top-notch screen, capable performance and great cameras. Yet again, OnePlus is living up to its motto of never settling.
DESIGN
I love the OnePlus 12’s design. To me, it looks better than any other phone I’ve reviewed, although I am biased towards green tech.
Weighing 220g and measuring 9.15mm thick, the ‘12 is par for the course these days: it’s a big, weighty flagship that doesn’t easily fit into pockets. OnePlus has kept the massive circular camera module on the back that was first introduced on the 11, complete with inscriptions indicating the specs of each camera.
The green colour is called Flowy Emerald, which is allegedly inspired by the rivers that flow down the Alps. Marketing lingo aside, the texture is like an earth-toned marble whose tones varies depending on the ambient lighting. It also comes in Silky Black for those who don’t like green as much as me.
The glass back feels smooth
