What owners report

  • “Hmm my OnePlus 12 is 26 months old and battery is still phenomenal. I charge it to 80% and easily get a day of use, plugging in each night at 30-40%. [...] I did not have battery issues with my OnePlus 7 Pro or OnePlus 9 Pro either. The 7 Pro gave me 3 days of battery! (I upgraded for camera improvements and faster screen refresh rate.)”

  • “If you're concerned about the battery life, the battery is very very big on the phone and the OS is apparently quite good at killing background processes. My OnePlus 12 will last all day with regular use (even a year after I got it), and the 15 will likely be even better”

  • “Ooh. Please let us know if the fold ever becomes a nuisance or if they improved the tech for the screen. I got the fold 4, and after a year, the crease became so annoying I only used the front side of the phone until I got this OnePlus 12.”

  • “That's weird, I bought a OnePlus 12 last year and got a charger with it and it was USB a to c so this change must be recent”
