OnePlus 12 Review So my colleague has been using the OnePlus 12 as his primary device for quite a while now. I asked him how many apps he has on the phone, and he said around 200. That’s proof enough that he’s actually been testing it thoroughly. But when I asked him to describe his experience with this phone in two words, he said  "Boringly perfect." Let's delve into the detailed review of this handset and know how good it is.  Battery Life and Charging OnePlus 12 battery  First things first, the OnePlus 12 is definitely a battery monster. It offers the best battery life we’ve seen on a flagship phone yet. This is exactly what I said in my initial review of the phone—the OnePlus 12 is a battery champ.

You can add items like a lanyard loop, a card case, and a phone stand. Lanyard: It's of excellent quality, designed like a bag strap. However, in places like India, wearing your phone like this might make it a target for theft. Card Case: The quality is poor, and I wouldn't recommend buying it. Phone Stand: This is useful, es...
