OnePlus 12 Offers Strong Performance and Value in 2025 Amid New Discount

The OnePlus 12 continues to be a competitive flagship smartphone in 2025, now available for a limited time at a discounted price of $750 for the 512GB model. While it lacks some generative AI features found in rival phones, it excels in areas that matter to most users: performance, battery life, fast charging, and build quality. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, up to 16GB of RAM, and a 5,400mAh battery, the device supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, outperforming many competitors in this area.

The phone features a 4,500-nit display and improved main camera with a Sony LYT-808 sensor. However, its telephoto lens is less impressive, limited to 3x optical zoom and weaker subject detection. The alert slider’s new position is considered less user-friendly. Despite not being heavily AI-focused, recent Android 15 updates bring useful features like Circle to Search and AI Assistant for Notes, narrowing the gap.

With 5G support across all major US carriers and a premium design, the OnePlus 12 is recommended for users who prioritize core functionality over AI novelty. Its few shortcomings include a subpar telephoto camera and only an IP65 rating, slightly below flagship standards. This promotion ends June 8, 2025.
