In our review of the OnePlus 12, we mentioned the smartphone’s affordability was top-of-the-line issues about it. Now, thank’s to Amazon’s upcoming Prime Day sale, that is an much more compelling level. A 19 p.c low cost drops the value to $650 for the mannequin with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That is a a brand new all-time low (it is gone for $700 a number of occasions beforehand). The model with 16GB/512GB can be $150 off and right down to $750.

This can be a new low value for the (already fairly inexpensive) Android smartphone.
Aside from being an ideal worth for a flagship cellphone, the OnePlus additionally has stable cameras that take sharp and clear photographs. Simply word that the digital camera module is strikingly cumbersome and you may see a watermark from Hasselblad (the digital camera firm OnePlus companions with) except you choose to take away it.
The battery life is one other win. We measured a lifespan of over 26 hours in our video rundown take a look at. And after simply 10 minutes of wall charging, the cellphone obtained from 10 to 55 p.c. It refilled to 37 p.c in the identical period of time sitting on a OnePlus wi-fi charger, which is obtainable individually for $50.
The design is pleasingly “retro” (should you can apply that time period to an aesthetic that harkens again a mere 5 years) with the rounded corners and tapered edges of one thing just like the Galaxy S10+. The OnePlus 12 additionally takes notes from the previous in the case of AI — in that it largely forgoes the buzzy new tech in favor of primary (however stable) smartphone performance.
The display screen and processor are absolutely fashionable, nonetheless, with an excellent shiny and crisp 120Hz display screen and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip that we discovered to supply fluid efficiency, regardless of clocking in a tad low on some benchmarks.
Elsewhere, Amazon can be promoting the OnePlus Open for $1,300, which is a $400 low cost on the cellphone we named the extra affordable pick for a flagship foldable. That is a value the Open has hit beforehand, as lately as final month.
