Dont think there is even such mention on any of the reviews. Thinking of a comeback?

I think Rm3.1k ish is a really darn price for the "Flagship killer" according to MKBHD. Latest top specs, best battery life on flagship phones for 2024.


"Its better than you think".




Racun you kaw kaw first.

Dont need to buy Malaysia set. Its even pricier than it is in the US.

Not CN rom bro... its Color OS. Anyway you could still buy the phone and run on Color OS with Playstore if you want the AI features.

IMHO AI is not a deal breaker for me because I rarely need those features.

Price wise, I think its pretty good for around Rm3.1k ish because if you compare local set which is Rm4599. I dont forsee it going down soon unless a newer model launches at the end of the year.

Yes. It's the alert slider and its a feature on almost all oneplus phones.

Seems like only China and US are getting their OP12 at lower prices. Its still very pricy in other countries like Europe.

If the seller who flashes the rom to OOS relocks the bootloader, you would not have any issues using G Wallet.

Looks like I'm staying on with Oneplus after so many years of up and downs with the brand.

Nope.

12GB.

Chinese variant comes with a nice ori backcover in the box. Not the usual cheapo tpu version.

TBH, once I have the phone in my hands, I find the weight of the phone to be not too bad. It's not too heavy but its not lightweight either. If you compare to the S24 Ultra, it is still lighter. Well a bigger phone with bigger display will certainly come with a higher weight. 200ish grams phones are the norm nowadays.

If you prefer something smaller and lighter, you can opt for the 12R.

I would not say Xiaomi Miui would have a lot of bugs, but I particularly dislike the bloatware and the adware that comes with Miui. It takes a little bit of work to uninstall all the bloatware but the adware is totally annoying to me.

Looks like there wont be much choice for you because all the flagship models are above 200grams. Even the Oneplus 12R is slightly more than 200grams.
Your only choice would be the smaller sized mid range phones which are quite light.

I only found Imak's TG which is the only 'branded' ones. The rest are unbranded TGs. Nillkin has film type screen protectors on a set of double but Im not in SP. Since it came preapplied with an ori SP, I will use it until its unusable and then only replace it with TG.

Haha.. thought I wanted to give up on Oneplus. But with the OP12 this round, Oneplus has really turned things around. Back as the Flagship killer, flagship hardware and tech and optimized firmware but priced on the middle bracket. That is what all Oneplus fans have been looking for.


TBH I have contemplated on switching to Samsung.... but deep down I know I would not be able to accept One UI after so many donkey years on Oxygen OS.

It worked on my previous phone. Dont see why it wouldn't on the OP12. Let me try it out first.

Everything works out of the box with a Samsung and being so there is nothing to mod. You dont need to unlock the bootloader bro.

Android Auto on the OP12.

Haha... beats me. Now I prefer my phone stock. Modding days are way way way wayyyyy over for me now.


I didn't even flash Oxygen OS myself this round. The seller ordered direct from China and the China seller flashed to Oxygen OS, pack all the free gifts together in a box before shipping the whole box to me directly from China.

Nowadays phone sellers also can drop ship from China.

I think the majority here who owns the phone are OP12 owners. The 12R would be a good phone as well if you would prefer a smaller phone and not splurge about Rm3k for the 12. The 12R or Ace 3 in China is actually a steal now at Rm1900 ish. Pretty good deal if you would ask me. Genshin Impact edition is also available now but at Rm2.8k.

You mean you got your OP12 but there is no charger in the package?

There is supposed to be a 100W SuperVocc charging brick in the box together with an original casing.


You still can use to old charger from the 8T without any issues though.

If you are worried, then your only option would be to get the official my unit here.

IMO, there is only one version right now, be it global or chinese version.

Refer to my post below.

Based on information on the below websites, the global version of the Oneplus 12 should carry the model no CPH-2581.


https://oneplussg.com/product/oneplus-12-5g/ - Official Oneplus SG Site.

https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/oneplus-12-gl...-fast-charging/

https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/11/14/globa...-certification/


My own set, a Chinese set imported from China bears the same Model No CPH-2581.


IMO, the global version of the Oneplus 12 and Chinese version is basically the same phone. Most probably Oneplus came up with only one variant that caters to both International and the Chinese markets compared to previous iterations of Oneplus phones which have region specific model codes with different network bands.
