- TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy The OnePlus 12 has INCREDIBLE cameras for its price! It's nearly identical to the performance of the more expensive OnePlus Open, and it gives iPhone Pro and Galaxy Ultra phones a run for their (higher) money. Here's a quick look at what this phone can do!

Huge thank you to my Patrons for supporting the channel! They saw this video a couple weeks ago and in 4K! If you have the means, please consider joining the community at www.patreon.com/SomeGadgetGuy
You are the only reviewer who made me ordered oneplus 12. I was so worried about the camera but your videos show it's on par with other flagships even better in some scenes. You deserve a million subs. Bless up bro
It's just a REALLY fun camera to use. 😊
Yeah for real. Every other reviewer just glosses over the OnePlus 12's cameras, regurgitating the same exact things like "it's fine but it doesn't compare to the top dogs like Apple and Samsung" like bruh. 💀
It's just so hack/lazy now. You can tell who REALLY takes a minute to learn about what makes a phone camera different, and who just lives in an iPhone and never bothers to use anything else seriously. OP ALWAYS gets the shaft on camera tech, but from the 8Pro on, they've been putting out GREAT photo competition.
@@arkhalis3682 yeah you are right bruh. I nearly cancelled my other but this guy. Gave me hope. Thanks once again. OP12 is a complete flagship device.
Still a little bit improvement would be appreciated form one plus in the cameras@@SomeGadgetGuy
Has a really killer price ESPECIALLY considering all the storage, battery life and charge speed. Hell even this camera is exceptional
my first smartphone was an iPhone 4S, then I switched to the 5S but I dropped and broke it. due to my very limited budget at the time, I purchased a OnePlus One and have not moved back to iOS ever since.
You landed one of the best tech products of last year 😄
How was it moving from ios to android for you?
@@Zenguy89 I had a similar situation to him and it wss absolutely fine. Small adjustment period but I prefer the android OS
@@Yos115it's been a while since I've been on android but I have been thinking about it lately , I'm just so used to ios.
i love the zoom on OP12 (still usable at near 100x), but i'm coming from OP 8T, where it would distort at 4x lol
LOL you got a GREAT upgrade there.
People don't ever use flash but I always consider it an option that might make a photo when you just NEED the photo to work.
The Pixel flash is under the lenses when holding the phone in landscape mode. That puts the shadow ABOVE the subject. Turn a Pixel upside down to get the shadow right.
The Oneplus, on the other hand, has thought that through. The main sensor is closest to the flash, making shadows less pronounced and correctly placed in both landscape and portrait orientation (shadows under subject in portrait, and in landscape lower and slightly to the right)
The tele lens is further from the flash making the shadow more pronounced but it is properly BENEATH the subject in portrait and clearly to the side in landscape.
I always wondered why they didn't put the main sensor in the bottom right camera hole (the one they put light sensors in instead) and one reason I see is that the flash would make more pronounced shadows if they used that hole cuz it is much further from the flash.
Now putting the sensor so close to the edge of the phone has made me look like an amateur GETTING MY FINGERS IN SOME PHOTOS- DOH! and a more centered sensor would have saved me from that mistake. So I "just" have to practice holding the phone better to hide my fingers from the frame. Old dog, new tricks.
To notice these shadows without needing to take a bunch of photos, use the always on mode for the flash.
My Pixel 7 doesn't have the flash always on mode like the OnePlus. (I just checked again) AND the flash is very far from the lens so it exaggerates the shadows so much that it makes the pictures look slightly evil with shadows towering above the subject.
I would venture to say that Oneplus used MORE thought than we realize on making flash useable.
Pixel, also uses nice thoughtful exposure and color decisions for flash but the upside down flash placement almost negates, for most people, those advantages.
Great write up! I'm such a natural light snob I never think to really test the flash anymore. I hope we see more ring flash options.
@@SomeGadgetGuythanks. It's nice to remember to always also take a flash picture as a habit. Slow shutter speeds can mess up most of the people photos in low light. Pixel does a better job with getting the faces right in low light and I might keep it as a second phone for its advantages like that. I just gotta keep it charged and maybe turned off until needed.
I figured this would be the end result. My one plus open leans the closest to pixel out of any phone I've seen put out...I've even compared the pixel fold to the one plus open and 7 times out of ten? I preferred the open's photos. I actually like the over sharpening (I get it ..I'm in a small club regarding that lol) and how it doesn't blow out highlights nearly as much as I've seen a pixel tend to do. Plus x-pan mode and the 4k portrait video on one plus phones is SUPERB.
We can always talk about specific pros and cons, but OP has been delivering solid cameras since the 7 Pro, and now the 12/Open are just genuinely great all rounders.
I love how you do nuance. And fair comparisons. And value for money.
Your b roll reminded me of a flash placement advantage of oneplus vs pixel. I will make a post about that......
Thanks to Dan, I make sure to see your stuff, solid work my man, and great points. Thanks
I use the telephoto more than any other sensor. It makes this phone camera system amazing.
Today ordered OnePlus 12, the 16GB/512GB Black, as an upgrade to my 10 Pro 12GB/256GB. I am getting it for around USD715, think for the price this is one of the best, if not the best, including UFS 4.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 support at last.
How is the object eraser from the OP12 compared to a galaxy s24?
How is the zoom capability? Have you compared with other flagships?
I'm so proud of you bro and yes I have the one plus 12 😅
It's a fun phone right 😊
Your videos made me purchase OP12. Best phone I've ever owned. Keep making great content bro
Been on the fence with this phone and it's cam, needed a camera review and you are the only review that i wanted to see.
My Pixel 8 Pro seems to only want to take pics that are dimmer than the actual subject is. Almost like there's a weak sunglass lense in front of it sometimes. Does the OnePlus 12 take more accurate pics in terms of color and brightness?
the main thing that I dislike about Oneplus's camera is that at night, they create a "halo" effect around subjects. Other than that Oppo and Oneplus's processing is lovely!! Idk if they fixed it or not I mostly saw it discussed by Indian youtubers/ people with darker skin so maybe the algorithm isn't optimized for that so it's a bit of a bummer.
For best results, can you help me with best settings for photos and videos. So i can use once for all, i can set as default forever. ONEPLUS 12
Will always support OnePlus content
Hello. Oneplus user from India. Bought this OP12 as an upgrade over 7 Pro. Camera & Picture quality is fabulous, specially night mode. Only issue is it gets very hot if used for prolonged time for taking photos & Videos. It became so hot that, warning came on display that camera can`t be used as it became very hot. In addition to this OIS stopped working & camera started showing delayed footage on display in read time. It will be great if you do prolonged tests Say 3 - 4 + hrs & share your view on it.
1:12 that green line though.
I thought my phone got greeen watching OnePlus video.
Hi Juan, do you have problems with notifications on oxygen os 14? For me notification are cleared from the lock screen once I unlock the phone. They sre still visible in the notification bar and on AOD, but only new notifications show up on the lock screen.
I bought 10T and thought that was a software but, so I returned the phone. Then i bought OP11 and have the same exact issue 😢 Apparently it's not a bug, but a feature of OOS14.
Ooof. I'm the wrong guy to track that. I use a smartwatch SPECIFICALLY to disable things like AOD. Trying to minimize how many times I look at a phone...
@@SomeGadgetGuy It's unrelated to AOD. I have it off. But notifications only appear once on the lock screen like on an iPhone. Once unlocked they can be only found on the notification bar.
For the price tag and bells and whistles it's perfect🎉❤ I just bought a One Plus 12 silky Black. 😊
First off, I am located in Canada in case that makes a difference in apps or operating system.
Also, my previous phone was a Samsung S20 FE. Good phone, but the batty would not even last a day anymore.
After watching a few of these reviews on the OnePlus 12 and hearing the only 2 complaints were about the lack of water protection and cameras were just so-so I decided that for the price I could live with that. I just bought the OnePlus 12 along with the Pad and Buds 3. I have a couple of complaints that no one pointed out. There was no dedicated music player. I typically don’t stream as I have my own collection of mp3 files so that bothered me that I had to download a player from the Play Store. Next is the fact that there are only 3 fonts to choose from and apparently you cannot install any new fonts without rooting the phone. Really irritating as being able to customize Android is one of the reasons I use it. I love that it has an IR blaster as I usually have my phone with me while watching TV or a movie. No more looking for the remote!
The pad when connected to the phone to answer calls and messages, stutters and freezes a lot. Not impressed with that. Might have to wait for a fix in future upgrade.
The bud 3 earbuds are impressive. No complains so far. Connected seamlessly to both the phone and the pad. All in all, I like the build quality and over all feel of the OS, I figure I will need some time to adjust to it coming from Samsun One UI, which has some really good features.
Sony phones will ALWAYS have their best cameras. Sammy and Apple 5x zoom, Sony 7.5x optical
Hi Juan!
Just in case you didn't get the lastest update for the Open, it now supports master mode and raw+ "is no longer available". I feel like that raw option is what raw+ used to be
Eather way, really nice video, as always hehe 😁
Oh I did. This video was shot before the Open was updated too.
I love my op12. My wife who has been an iphone user for years has been complementing it's back camera. The selfie cam tho could use some improvments.
Coming from a pixel 7, I would vouch for a op12 over a pixel 7-8pro. Pixels have great point and shoot front and back cameras but op12 does great picture and video (something lacking for pixels).
Appreciate giving the callout on the camera op12 vs op open. However, I will say op12 front selfie camera does a pretty bad job.
Curious to know if this is the same case for the op open? For an average user who would just be adjusting white balance, is the front op open front selfie better at reducing light?
I saw videos saying you can use the back camera so do those shots do better at taking selfies?
Also, I made the switch from the pixel 7 to op12 because the pixel 7 become unreliable as a phone.
Wait, did OnePlus replace the raw+ mode? I haven't seen it in the open since they moved from pro to master mode
Yup. I'm kinda sad about that.
What do you think about Xperia -1vi?. Didn't seen in your hands
Sony isn't sending it here, and Sony PR stopped working with me when Sony stopped sending stuff to our region. They only want USA reviewers "selling" products going to the USA.
Love your work ❤️
Can you please comment on how Chinese phones in general make human subjects pale and in my opinion ruins the image, specially on the main wide lens
For landscape and general photography you're right there's almost no difference between a OnePlus and Samsung, it's photos with humans that exhibit the most difference
This issue has been there forever and it doesn't seem like the companies consider it a problem 😕
Cameras punch above, software is TKO/MIA When you realize Samsung is a powerful company who can pay the best people to develop camera software.
Got the 12 for 450usd with trading in my 8T!! I cancelled my pixel 8a 256gb which was also 450usd. The only thing I'm not about this phone is, colors aren't natural at all indoors and front camera is meh tbh
Go with pixel 8a/256gb
Do you have to send in your old trade in phone before you get the new phone?
@@terminator7541slow charging poorer battery poorer poorer display way poorer processor and frankly coming from a 7a, almost same camera with different processing output. Why would one choose 8a?
i really appreciate that you don't show your daughter's face, there are too many mindless parents nowadays.
also: nicely detailed and very enjoyable in-depth review..as always :)
I didn't have my every waking moment detailed on my parent's social media. We wanted to give Lex the same consideration. 😊
Ordered one plus 12 instead of spending more for 24 ultra today - hope its worth it! Switching from exynos s20 ultra😂
Anyone remember that LG camera mode where they used to hide all the ui and made you take a photo with just touching the screen?
I THINK that was V20?
This or the Vivo X100 Pro?
Camera vise and all around...
All around, the battery life and battery health features are what attracted me to the OP12.
Vivo for camera tech AND for high performance use like editing video. OP is gonna be better for battery life and things like gaming.
@@SomeGadgetGuy And what about the OS, FunTouch OS or?
Because I'm planing to get the Chinese version...
Oneplus 12 or Xiaomi 14 for camera ?
Yeesh, that's a good fight, but the OP12 fogs less?
@@SomeGadgetGuy Don't really have to worry about fogging where I live. Would love to see a comparison video. Which one would you pick?
Watching this one plus 12.
To expensive for my taste.
Here in Europe,you can often fined s24 ultra and iPhone 15 pro max on sale(or on contract )for the same price.
OnePlus can have some fans who will fight it has a great camera, charging so and battery, but they ar missing brand recognition and the thing that it costs her 20-30% more than in USA and 50% more than in China( will definitely lose them a few of old OnePlus fans, who's main point of buying it was a price
I don't bother with comparing sales prices anymore. Getting an S24+ on trade in here is still more expensive than getting a good sale or trade in for the OP. WAY too many tech reviewers play that game poorly, only acknowledging Samsung sales against other brands' full MSRP.
Solid camera algorithms in some areas and very bad in another compared to my 2 last phones 1+9pro and xiao 13 pro.
But xiao was 850$ 8 month ago and 1+12 is 665$ now. Almost the same camera capabilities, but xiao is better.
The only thing stopped me from getting this is it's weird design. I finally went for VivoX100Pro and i can say almost no phone comes close when it comes to the camera performance, rest is good as well.
Os ?
Almost bought the vivo x100 pro too becuz of the camera but than its only camera where the focuses are and not on the phone itself. 1+ 12 meanwhile offers far more better display,sound,cooling system,battery,updates,higher dpi etc and a very decent camera(which keeps on improving with updates and finger cross they put out 2 or 3 times updates for camera). Vivo dont even specify what screen or back protector they used, low sound quality on the mic or speakers,lower display and dpi,heating and battery draining issues which kinda put me off for using the phone for 3-4 years. But camera shot x100 pro is a "woah" other than this oneplus 12 is the real deal. Just sharing my reason of why i'm going to buy the 12 instead of x100 pro. Kudos
@@silkcutmeizial3993 The display is just awesome 2800X1260 is just great! if you are into tech you must be knowing even 2400X1080 pixel resolution is more than enough for smartphones. The protection on the front and back glass is "SCHOTT XENSATION" which is developed by Vivo, just like Huawei and some other brand and they're undoubtedly equally good or sometimes better. The heating issue is there on almost every phone if used intensively whether it's Samsung, iPhone or any other brand, but for normal use it performs really acceptable. When it comes to software update yes, it could have been 4yrs of Android atleast. Yes the battery on the OP12 is slightly better like 15-20 mts extra but seem many battery drain tests, it is actually on par with S24ULTRA or some other flagships. Camera performance is unmatched whether it's video or photos. Thanks!
I keep refreshing your channel page expecting to see Xiaomi 14 Ultra review
We talked about it on the Patreon. Xiaomi decided not to work with me on a review, and instead I'm putting more budget towards ARM PCs this summer.
Looks like a good phone. My 13 Ultra will just have to do for another year.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Thank you for your response! I'm a happy Xiaomi 12S Ultra user and I'm wondering if I should consider switching
Watching this convinced me that I need and want the OP12. The question now is should I wait for the OP13 or get the 12?
My advice is ALWAYS "wait if you can".
If you need a phone now, the OP12 is great. My SIM is in it right now.
If you DONT need to get a new phone, you can wait to see what the 13 will bring, and then decide on the new OP or the current OP on sale.
@@SomeGadgetGuy thanks, that's really helpful
WAIT did I hear that right oneplus removed RAW Plus from the 12????!!!
Yup.
Oof that's a deal breaker for me I loved it on passed iterations. It was better than Samsungs expert RAW in my opinion
boi am i early
edit: Juan, Im not due to change phones yet, and your videos are really pulling to go back to Oneplus
So I'm totally an enabler, and I love showing what this stuff can do, but I really hope folks hear me when I say "run your current gadgets til the wheels fall off!"
That said, when you do decide to upgrade, I hope you'll consider clicking through my affiliate links 😅
Yep it's a good phone ... and a lower price does help .
It's always been the OP mission, and this year I think they nailed the price to performance. It kind of embarrasses the S24+.
OP11 can shoot 4k120fps with 3rd party.
I have been so heartbroken with my brother who finally broke his OnePlus 8, refused my advice to buy the OP12 and went with an iPhone 12 that his girlfriend's parents had lying around... I think he would have liked it and I would have liked to play with it before I relinquished it to him once I got it set up and cased+screen protectored.
And the iPhone 12 was like the worst way to jump into iOS+5G.
I return my Pixel 8 for a oneplus 12 and I'm glad I did. Pixel 8 camera is overrated to me.
I REALLY like the Pixel vibe, and I think there are some important differences on a Pixel that help it keep this "point and shoot" reputation, but OnePlus is doing something special here, and I wish more techies would really pay attention to camera tech beyond "can I take boring instagram snapshots".
It's okay to justify your purchase without trashing the Pixel 8 in the process 😊 😊 Personally, there's no better point and shoot experience camera phone at this point than a Pixel and the Pixel phone experience with everything that comes with it.
yeah but OnePlus Doesn't make me feel smart and special for buying them anymore. I'm not like other brand fans juan, I need my phone to be overpriced and have glyphs on the back...
DANG! How'd we turn this into a Nothing take down 😅😅😅
@@SomeGadgetGuy I have no contempt for nothing phones, they appear to be great and fun enthusiast fashion and style phones with great marketing. But they're not everything... they're nothing....
I know you're no longer an apple fan but you should review some iPhones at least to see how the latest iPhones camera tech stacks up. I recently got a free iPhone 14 pro and am impressed with the camera, but have always owned androids, like lg v40 and v60.
I still test drive them off camera. I just choose not to support them with ANY traffic if I can help it.
They're "fine". I haven't seen anything from Apple that points to any area where they truly excel. They're often given a run for their money by significantly less expensive devices, and they can still struggle with accurate skin tone on PoC. Especially when we get to play internationally with cameras using significantly more advanced optics, Apple is just sorta "fine". I think you can spend less to get "fine".
almost bought it! but then I had to save money and buy a cheaper phone. so I had to let go of the idea of buying a good camera phone. bought a galaxy A35, good phone, bad cameras🙁
I almost kept OP 12 until I tried Huawei pura 70 pro...OP 12 was returned next day...
I'm sure it's a great phone, but at roughly $300 more, I would expect it to be LOL.
@@SomeGadgetGuy In my country same price...so...
Green screen?
Nerp.
I've been pretty lucky with OP's. My 8, 9, 10, 11, and now open/12 have all been pristine. I've had two samsung review units in that time that had green lines and weird low brightness artifacting.
The only thing i hate about 'all' chinese phones is this, they tend to overexpose skin colors for us Blacks. Sad thing
Yeah no way around that. Even Apple struggles with good skin color accuracy. For that, I'd lean more towards a Pixel.
