OnePlus has been making Android phones for 10 years now, and their latest flagship phone, the OnePlus 12 is a serious competitor to phones like the Google Pixel 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the OnePlus 12 is the price. At a starting price of $799, it costs much less than the competition.

Specs

After you notice the price, you are bound to look for the specs.

Let’s take a look.

The 12 runs the latest CPU from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is the same processor in the S24 Ultra, which starts at $1,299.

 

The 12 I reviewed has 16 gigabytes of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

It runs Android 14, with an OxygenOS 14 overlay. The graphics processor is the Audreno 750.

The 6.82” QHD+ always-on display has a refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. The display’s LTPO technology adjusts the refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz to save battery life. FYI, LTPO stands for low-temperature Polycrystalline oxide.

OnePlus says it’s the brightest screen ever on any smartphone. I haven’t tested all of them, so I’ll have to take their word for it. The screen is really readable in any light.
