OnePlus 12 5G: Flagship features for ₹ 12,990, now within everyone’s reach
The world of smartphones is changing very fast. Every month some company launches a new phone, and every time it is claimed that it is the best phone ever. But the truth is that most people want a phone that is not expensive, but has all the features that are found in expensive flagship phones. Understanding this need, OnePlus has launched its new smartphone OnePlus 12 5G.
The most special thing is that its price has been kept at just ₹ 12,990. Imagine, where flagship phones of many companies are selling from ₹ 60,000 to ₹ 1,00,000 these days, OnePlus 12 5G is an option with the same features that does not weigh heavily on the pocket. This is the reason why this phone can prove to be a sensation in the mid-range smartphone segment of India.
Now let’s understand it in detail – from design to camera, performance, battery, connectivity and finally knowing who this phone is best for.
Design: Beautiful and premium look, looks good in every hand
OnePlus has always been known for its design and this time too the company did not disappoint. In OnePlus 12 5G, you get to see a combination of metal and glass, which gives a premium feel as soon as you hold it.
The curved-edge display of the phone makes it even more stylish. This is special for those who want their phone to look like an expensive flagship.
The camera module at the back has also been designed very thoughtfully. In many phones, the cameras look so big and heavy that the whole phone starts looking ugly, but in this phone the camera module is balanced and attractive.
Talking about colors, the company has given three options:
- Midnight Black – for a classic and professional look.
- Glacier Silver – for those who like simplicity and modern design.
- Emerald Green – A slightly different and eye-catching option.
Every color has the same premium finish, meaning there is no compromise on quality.
Display: 6.8 inch AMOLED, life in every picture
Now let’s talk about the display, because this is the thing we use the most throughout the day. OnePlus 12 5G has a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display. It has a 2K resolution, meaning pictures and videos will appear very sharp and clear.
If you watch videos on YouTube or Netflix, this screen will give cinema-like quality.
There is a 120Hz refresh rate for gamers, which makes scrolling and game movement very smooth.
HDR10+ support makes it more special, making colors and contrast look absolutely natural and soothing to the eyes.
For example, when you watch an HDR movie that has a night scene and stars shining in the sky, both the depth of black and the brightness of the stars are seen brilliantly. This is the real magic of AMOLED display.
Camera: 200MP magic, now professional camera in pocket
Nowadays, when buying a phone, people first pay attention to the camera. OnePlus has left no stone unturned this time.
The 200-megapixel primary sensor at the back captures so much detail that you can see small parts even by zooming the photo. Suppose you took a photo of a mountain and there is a small waterfall in it, then even after cropping the photo, that waterfall will be clearly visible.
Along with this, an ultra-wide lens has been provided, which is perfect for large group photos or wide views like beaches and mountains.
Telephoto zoom allows you to capture distant objects clearly.
Talking about video, this phone supports 4K and 8K recording. This feature is very beneficial for those who make vlogs or want to put professional content on social media.
The selfie camera is also not far behind. It has a 50-megapixel front camera, which not only captures detail but also makes the pictures look absolutely real due to HDR and natural beauty filters.
Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and powerful RAM
Now let’s come to the biggest aspect of the phone – its performance.
It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. This is the same chip that is found in expensive flagship phones. This means that whether you play high-end games, edit videos or run multiple apps simultaneously – the phone does not get stuck anywhere.
It has 18GB LPDDR5X RAM, which makes multitasking very easy.
Also there is 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, which is not only large but also very fast.
Suppose you are playing PUBG or BGMI and at the same time music and WhatsApp are running in the background, even then the phone runs smoothly.
Battery and Charging: 5500mAh and 200W Super Fast Charging
Battery is the heart of any smartphone. This phone has a 5500mAh battery, which easily lasts the whole day even in heavy use.
But the biggest surprise is its 200W fast charging. The company claims that this phone gets fully charged in just 15 minutes.
Imagine, if you are in a hurry to go somewhere and your phone is not charged, then you can get through the whole day by charging it for 10–15 minutes. This feature is especially for those Indian users who travel constantly or live a busy life.
Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and modern features
OnePlus 12 5G comes with every latest connectivity feature.
- It has 5G support, which will spread fully in India in the coming years.
- With Wi-Fi 7, this phone is also ready for future networks.
- Bluetooth 5.3 makes it easy and fast to connect headphones, smartwatches and other devices ect.
- Also, dual stereo speakers give you great sound quality, whether you are listening to a song or watching a movie.
Price: Flagship features for ₹ 12,990
Now comes the biggest thing – its price.
OnePlus 12 5G has been launched for just ₹ 12,990. This price is really surprising because the features available in it are often found in phones above ₹ 60,000.
This move of the company directly challenges other companies. Now companies like Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi and Realme may also have to reduce their prices.
Who is this phone for?
- If you are a student and want gaming, study and social media to run smoothly in one phone, then this is the best option.
- If you are a content creator and want to shoot 4K-8K videos, then this can become a pocket camera for you.
- If you are a busy professional and don’t want the hassle of frequent charging, then its 200W charging will make your life easier.
