Now, because of Amazon’s upcoming Prime Day sale, that is an much more compelling level. A 19 p.c low cost drops the value to $650 for the mannequin with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That is aa new all-time low (it is gone for $700 a number of instances beforehand). The mannequin with 16GB/512GB can also be $150 off and all the way down to $750.

Apart from being a fantastic worth for a flagship cellphone, the OnePlus additionally has strong cameras that take sharp and clear photographs. Simply observe that the digital camera module is strikingly cumbersome and you will see a watermark from Hasselblad (the digital camera firm OnePlus companions with) except you decide to take away it.
The battery life is one other win. We measured a lifespan of over 26 hours in our video rundown check. And after simply 10 minutes of wall charging, the cellphone acquired from 10 to 55 p.c. It refilled to 37 p.c in the identical period of time sitting on a OnePlus wi-fi charger, which is obtainable individually for $50.
The design is pleasingly “retro” (in case you can apply that time period to an aesthetic that harkens again a mere 5 years) with the rounded corners and tapered edges of one thing just like the Galaxy S10+. The OnePlus 12 additionally takes notes from the previous in relation to AI — in that it largely forgets the buzzy new tech in favor of primary (however strong) smartphone performance.
The display and processor are totally trendy, nonetheless, with a brilliant shiny and crisp 120Hz display and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that we discovered to supply fluid efficiency, regardless of clocking in a tad low on some benchmarks.
