The claims, and the evidence

What the brand claims

No published claims on file for this product yet.

What owners report

  • “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”

  • “A lot of you keep saying I should have gotten a OnePlus 13 lol the OnePlus 13 is a nice and the price is a steal but do remember I got the OnePlus 12 last year and passed on the s24 ultra so this year I'm passing on the OnePlus 13 for the s25 ultra”

  • “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”
