Tuesday we can order the 12.Hope for good trade values.

Did you order? I’m trading in an S22 Ultra. Last year my husband and I had terrible loss to theft on phones sent to Samsung for one return and one trade. Empty boxes arrived to their destinations. Samsung accepted that my husband’s trade in was stolen but not my defective return. I’m honestly a bit nervous trying to mail in a trade again.

I’m pwm sensitive so I’m hoping this phone’s special display settings will help me with that. The phones I currently have will give me headaches and eye strain if I don’t ration my screen time.

Same thing with me twice last year I sent back a fold 5 return box was empty lucky for me samsung made it good.
Did samsung send you their video when they unbox it? I saw that was even same tape I used on box.

Other deal was apple deal same empty box.
All fed ex all returned via same fed ex store and same clerk....
No I never go in that store again.

Oh one plus 12 I didnt .
WOOT had the razr + for 549, so I am trying it again.
Looks like it may not be a keeper just had a crash of some sort phone shut off, I had to plug charger in to get it going battery was at 30 percent odd.

Oh goodness that’s awful. My iPhone trades have been okay so far. Yea, FedEx was the problem and I did get a video of my defective return package being opened. I wasn’t able to dispute it because I foolishly listened to my husband when he said I don’t need to make a video because it doesn’t prove I simply don’t remove the phone from the box just like the thief did. But now I have security tape to seal the package.

I might cancel my order and do the purchase and trade through Best Buy. I’m not sure I can still cancel my order though.

Wow the oneplus forum sure is a wasteland.nowadays.

I've never owned a OnePlus device before, but the 12 is very intriguing! They certainly don't seem to have a "mainstream" following ... Seems they've had some issues in the past with timely software updates and updates wrecking havoc.
Out of the gate, the 12 is definitely getting some high praise!

Yep one of the things that stops me now with them is the updates.. also I used to like the old OnePlus UI... And the cameras take some great pics but I feel like they're still lacking in some areas...

I just want better battery life ... My P8P is pretty abysmal for my use (especially compared to when I had the S23U with similar usage and apps).

I think I'm at the point where I can wait for an update as long as what I am running is stable and provides good battery life.

Camera is important too, but the world of Android seems to be down to either Google or Samsung and I been down the Samsung camera path many times. From what I've been watching and reading about the OnePlus 12 it looks as if it may handle motion pics better than Samsung but, like you said, it seems to lack in other areas.

I know you and the photos are important..P8P for me battery has been better no issues but I do carry two phones daily so I'm probably not the right person for testing endurance.. OnePlus has improved greatly in the camera area I just think low light and video might be so-so in some situations but I'd like to test it myself to see

Yeah, weekdays I have two phones as I'm primarily using my work issued iPhone. On my P8P I will text the wife and kids occasionally, maybe check emails here and there and my 8 Pro battery drain just seems unacceptable for sitting in my pocket all day. I have 5G disabled, several apps set to restricted and background data off, played with adaptive connectivity both on and off ... nothing seems to help. The phone is usually off the charger at 5am I typically need to top off by 5-6pm with 1-2 hours screen time, if that, even with several things disabled/dumbed down.

Hmm something definitely not right ...I can get good standby with it ..I also carry an iPhone along with the P8P or Pixel Fold depending on the mood and week ...I use my Android side for all social and browsing ..both phones for call and text ...I use Google Music and never have to charge till late evening or overnight

Yeah, I even factory reset and set up clean not too long ago with no luck.

Is the area where you frequent bad reception? The only other thing I can think of is it

No ... Usually I have a solid signal (LTE or 5G)

Hmmm got everything covered brother

The only thing I can think of is a rouge app running in the background. I've forgotten my phone at home and never had idle drain anywhere close to that.

Nothing seems out of sorts in battery usage stats ... Anything that was at the top of the list I've been restricting and disabling background data.

IDK, maybe one day when I have nothing to do I'll try another reset.

I did pickup a 12R and I must say for the 370 bucks I paid for it I couldn't be happier. Nice bright display and amazing battery life. Yes and I do think a 12 & 12R forum would be nice.

 

[YankInDaSouth]

I just stopped by Best Buy to play with the 12, man it is a nice device! I didn't even mind the curve on the screen that much ... Super snappy and beautiful bright display. Probably shouldn't have went to play cuz now the wheels are really churning LOL

I got my OnePlus12 yesterday. The battery is a beast. The display is the best I ever owned for movie viewing on the Netflix app. Gonna try Amazon Prime next.

My complaint so far is that setting any display settings to automatic means the display keeps fluctuating brightness and color temperature too frequently. I’m used to the more subtle transitions I get on my iPhone 15 Plus.

The OnePlus is so far giving me better photos. My husband’s in the hospital and that’s where I’ve been all day so I’m not really testing per se, but just noticing how the phone performs in my real world use.
