Seems to me many of the complaints about the camera will be worked out in software updates. As the reviewer himself said, it is surprising that these camera sensors would have trouble like this with the lighting, and even the OP11 did better in nighttime shots.
These are clear indicators that this is a software issue that will be worked out before too long. And in the interim you can just use GCam or any alternate camera software for night shots. Really not as big a deal as being made here, unless the overwhelming majority of your phone snaps are made at night.

I just placed my pre-order earlier today. It’s unfortunate that we’re not getting the white exterior color here in the USA.
It was between this and the S24 Ultra for me. I really wanted the flat and rectangular screen of the S24 Ultra but for the price, specs, and 16GB of RAM, I felt the OnePlus 12 was the better value.
@marcochavanne
January 23, 2024 at 8:43 pm
The S24 Ultra is indeed a beast, but I also agree the 12 offers a stronger value with little compromise.
I’m spoiled with the flat screen on my Pixel 8 Pro and wish other companies would drop the curved screen fad. Too many cons with those designs IMO. But to be fair phones with curved screens feel much smaller than they really are in the hand with their tapered sides.
@Maino_13
January 23, 2024 at 11:55 pm
Which color did you go for? I was smitten over the white because it was the only color being advertised on the OnePlus Store app when they started promoting it. I’m gonna pre-order, but kinda wanna wait to see if there are any last minute changes to launching the white or any other global exclusive color
@marcochavanne
January 24, 2024 at 12:10 am
@@Maino_13 I chose black. I know it’s basic but I have OCD and the lighter colors with polished frames and camera rings get smudges easier. Also LOVE the texture on their black phones. Its hard to describe but it’s pleasant to hold.
From what I understand the white variant is China only.
But if you consider the green it doesn’t have the same slick glossy back that the Emerald 11 had. It’s more of a frosted glass like the Pixel 8 Pro. A lot of people said it also feels nice and complimented it’s texture.
@Vladimir_Lolinco
January 24, 2024 at 12:35 am
I ended up pre-ordering the silky black; I cannot stand the “Flowy Emerald (i.e. green)” color. It is too bad that the “Cool Blue” color is not available for the 12 and only for the 12R – I think they should have swapped the Emerald for the 12R and Blue for the 12. At this point, I figured the color would not matter much since I am going to put it inside a case anyways, though, the white would have definitely stood out in a clear case of some sort.
Honestly, I really wanted the orange S24 Ultra in either the 512 GB (or 1 TB) but I just could not justify the price even with the discounts and trade-in (I am trading in my Pixel 7 so I am not receiving too much for it).@@Maino_13

I find it strange that you’re calling the cameras underwhelming when they are generally being heaped with praise everywhere else. I wonder what you’re seeing that others apparently aren’t. Glad you mentioned the software updates – I can’t even find mention of it on their website. I’m okay with 4/5 years of updates. I’ve never kept a phone in daily use longer than 4 years anyway. I’m normally 2-3. Although my daughter is still running my OG OnePlus 3 as her daily. That’s coming up on 8 years old now, original battery and everything.

I just cant get on board with nitpicking over software support commitments that far outlive the battery in the device. Often, it’s cheaper to trade in your 4 year old device for a new one than it is to replace the battery. It’s neither economical nor a good cost-benefit for most people to pay for a replacement battery for a 3-4 year old phone.

I love the “blind” photo tests done in which the OP11 beats out the iPhone and Samsung phones, yet everyone always says the same thing. The cameras “underwhelm”. The cameras are great and the 5 years of support is fine. Very few owners of high-end phones wait more than 5 years between phones. This phone has the best processor available, the most RAM ever on a smartphone, the brightest screen ever on a smartphone, the best display available, the largest battery available between OP, iPhone, Samsung and Pixel. The fastest charging of any of these 4 brands. For the money, it is a no-brainer for me. Can’t wait to get my OP12.

Best phone so far with that price also. Better than S24 in many ways. 1. Better, bigger battery and charge waaay faster. 2. Better screen due to more BIT colors and smoother scrrolling due to their new tec and much brighter. 3. CPU has been showen better in many benchmark tests here on Youtube. 4. Face onlock is way faster and does not lack in miss readinga…. Basically This phone is better in all the areas that really matters…. Samsung still have a better camera tho if you are into that sort of things and some gimmic things that really doesn’t matter….. It’s pure crap by Samsung to have a phone like that with that price when you can get this.
