When it comes to OnePlus, what impresses me most is the OnePlus 7 Pro, which has the world's first 90Hz+2K high-brush fluid screen, which stood out from most of the 60Hz refresh rate mobile phones at that time; and then the One Plus 8 series, which attracts a lot of attention by virtue of its high-value colour scheme. In the past, OnePlus may not have said so, but the pursuit of "product power first" has never been heard of, OnePlus taste for a long time represents the ultimate pursuit of cutting-edge technology and texture experience.
This year OnePlus also ushered in the tenth anniversary, as OnePlus ten years beyond the work, OnePlus 12 in all aspects of the promotion are very sincere, the official also said that OnePlus 12 in a bunch of Pro models can stand out, so it really did? The next step is to tell you one by one.
Texture design with additional details
Texture design has always been one of OnePlus's labels, and OnePlus 12, as a new product for the 10th anniversary, naturally has a more unique performance in terms of exterior design. There are three colour schemes: "White", "Pale Green" and "Rock Black", and we have "White" and "Pale Green" in our hands.
Let's take a look at 'Pale Green' first, which is my favourite of the three colourways. This colour scheme is made of a brand new stacked emerald glass, which not only continues the "green" colour of OnePlus, but also has some texture details in the middle, highlighting the high-class feeling of the body. The back cover is made of frosted material, which is very comfortable to the touch, but it will be slippery in your hand, which you need to pay attention to.
"White" colour scheme to make up for the regret of the previous generation of the lack of white, this colour scheme is built using a new ceramic glass process, the naked eye will have a pearlescent colour feeling, and this time, the back cover will not be very easy to stain fingerprints, for the oily hands of users will be very friendly.
Compared to the back cover of the body, the lens module of the OnePlus 12 is full of details, inspired by "time", adding more luxury watch design processes such as time scales and ring characters to the classic design. Inside the disc there are also starbursts, especially noticeable in the 'Pale Green' colour scheme, which enhance the sophistication of the phone.
Most importantly, the four lens rings of the OnePlus 12 are visually protruding, but are purely flat to the touch, a design that not only solves the problem of dust accumulating easily on the protruding lenses, but also enhances the premium feel of the phone, the best of both worlds, which is worthy of praise.
Come to the front, OnePlus 12 equipped with a 6.82-inch 2K Oriental screen, as OnePlus and BOE joint China's first DisplayMate A + 2K screen, OnePlus 12 of this screen in the debut of the "horizontal and vertical dual-network circuit design", "high-precision dynamic shadow elimination algorithms" and so on five black technology support, OnePlus 12 display effect has never been improved.
The screen of the One Plus 12 has a new X1 light-emitting material, and the performance of colour and brightness has never been improved before. In our test, open the white picture in the album, test global excitation brightness can reach 1678 nits, this brightness performance is enough to improve the daily use of the experience, no matter where you go, the screen content can be clearly presented.
Colour performance has also been tested, and under Display CAL tests it can reach 100% sRGB and 98.5% DCI-P3 wide colour gamut, which is still a clear advantage over newer friendly models that also come with screens from domestic manufacturers. There is also the new "Bright Eyes Eye Protection" technology, which takes into account blue light, strobe and other factors to reduce the user's eye health problems caused by bright light or dark light, as well as prolonged viewing of the screen, which also makes the OnePlus 12 for the first time in the mobile phone screen to achieve the medical level of eye protection.
Top hardware gives you a comfortable experience
In terms of performance, OnePlus 12 is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which uses TSMC's 4nm process technology and a new 1+5+2 architecture to boost CPU performance by 30 per cent compared to the previous generation. There is also a flagship memory combination of full-blooded LPDDR5X and UFS4.0, and the AnTuTu score has reached 215W+.
We're all familiar with the parameters, but it's the games that will test the real-world performance. We tested the "Glory of Kings" and "Original God" games in a room temperature of 25 degrees, "Glory of Kings" is a piece of cake for the third generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the actual half-hour test average frame rate of 120.2 frames, the actual experience is also very smooth, which is impeccable.
In terms of heat dissipation, the "Tiangong Heat Dissipation System" that was previously brought to the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro has been upgraded again for the OnePlus 12, with the addition of a piece of super-conducting graphite on top of the same 9140mm2 VC heat-sharing plate to once again improve heat dissipation efficiency. The temperature of the front side of the actual half-hour "Honour of Kings" was 35.2 degrees, and the back side was 34 degrees, and only a tiny warmth was felt during the game, which did not affect the gaming experience.

When it comes to the more loaded Proto-God, the OnePlus 12's Proto-God quality was set to Extreme High Quality +60 fps, and after restarting the game, it ran directly on the most loaded city of Sumeru. The average frame rate under the half-hour test was 59 frames, and there was a little lag during the running process, but the overall gaming experience will not be affected.
On heat dissipation, the temperature of the front of the body of the original God of OnePlus 12 for half an hour was 41.8 degrees, and the temperature of the back was 41 degrees, which is enough to prove that the upgraded version of the "Tiangong heat dissipation system" has excellent heat dissipation performance.

The gaming experience is also affected by the battery life, after all, no one wants to be in the middle of a game and suddenly pop up "low battery, please connect the charger". OnePlus 12 equipped with 5400mAh large-capacity battery, looking at the number has a full sense of security, charging is equipped with 100W super flash charging, the actual test 5 minutes to charge 21% of the power, and finally charged to 100% in 26 minutes and 30 seconds, half an hour without having to be fully charged, I believe that can meet most of the friends of the requirements of the battery life.
Experience upgrades are not only games, OnePlus 12 equipped with Ruixing Technology exclusive custom "bionic vibration motor Turbo", a variety of innovative materials to support the amount of vibration, frequency bandwidth, response speed of OnePlus 12 have been comprehensively improved. We feel most deeply in the experience is in the typing, this comfortable vibration can not be expressed in words, interested friends are very recommended to go to the physical shop to feel after the release of the new product.
Periscope lens added, the image is upgraded again
Let's talk about the image, OnePlus 12 adopts the "Ultra Light Shadow Full Primary Camera System", which is the same as OPPO's Find X6 series. The hardware adopts a 50-megapixel main camera + 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 64-megapixel super-light periscope telephoto lens.
The main camera of the One Plus 12 adopts Sony's new LYT-808 sensor, with a 1/1.4-inch base and a large F1.6 aperture. From the performance of the sample photos, the colour reproduction is very accurate, and thanks to the algorithms of the Find series, the sense of light and shadow atmosphere in the photos can also be shown very well.

The most surprising thing is also the telephoto, this time OnePlus 12 is finally joined the periscope telephoto lens, with 1/2 inch bottom and F2.6 aperture, support 3 times optical zoom, 6 times optical quality zoom, up to 120 times digital zoom, with support for suspension prism anti-shake technology, shoot more distant scenes can also be stable film.

Most importantly, the OnePlus 12 also deserves kudos for its ability to maintain consistent colour performance from ultra-wide angle to telephoto, and from day to night.

Back to the beginning of the question, OnePlus 12 can stand out in a crowd of Pro models? The answer to this question is already in your mind. Now we are gradually accustomed to the manufacturer's precise knife method, a cup and a cup, but think carefully, OnePlus 12 is perhaps the flagship mobile phone should have been the appearance, with better configuration, to bring a more extreme experience, whether it is the body texture, screen, image or battery life, as long as it is the user's concern about the experience, it will do well, with the pursuit of the heart of the ultimate across the price of the hurdle.
