OnePlus12R 5G (UK) 16GB RAM 256GB Storage SIM-Free Smartphone - 2 Year Warranty - Iron Gray

I did a lot of research and comparisons of phones before finally choosing this one. I scoured countless Reddit threads, compared on gsmarena, loads of YouTube videos.First of all the battery is absolutely superb, and with the 100w charger (included in box) you can charge to full from empty in 25 minutes. I want to caveat that I do not use my phone for gaming - just browsing, social media, music, YouTube, Netflix, photography.With my usage the phone typically lasts over a day before I need to charge it, and I always charge before it reaches 20% battery. I generally get about 6 - 7 hours screen on time depending on usage.The phone is very snappy and I haven't encountered any noticeable bugs thus far. I've been using Nova Launcher on every phone since 2011 so I won't comment on OxygenOS but in general it's been very easy to navigate settings etc and find what I need. There's also very little bloatware pre installed on the phone in comparison to Xiaomi and Samsung.The general interface of the notification drawer is great, I much prefer it to my previous Samsung's. OxygenOS updates have been pushed fairly regularly, and the phone will receive 3 future android versions (up to Android 17) and 4 years of security patches.I've had no issues whatsoever with connectivity to Bluetooth devices and my TV via screencast. Signal for calls & data has been excellent, if anything it's actually an improvement from my previous Samsung - and I live in a rural area with spotty coverage.The camera is the only slight downside. If you want a top tier camera then pay the extra for the flagship OnePlus 12. However when taking general photos & videos for social media etc it is perfectly serviceable, especially if you do some editing in lightroom or snapseed. There will likely also be Gcam ports in the future which may improve it somewhat.I am extremely pleased with the phone. This is without a doubt the best "mid tier" phone currently available, especially if you value battery life highly.If you do buy it I recommend the Spigen case, it's protective, easy to hold & fairly light.P.S. ignore the people complaining about wireless charging etc. No one would ever wirelessly charge a phone that can fully charge wired in 25 minutes 😉🎈

Really like this phone after having a Samsung, good quality Os nice and easy and the quick charge function is unbelievable!

Good value mobile. Decent spec. Excellent battery and fast charging.

Love the phone and being black fri.£200 off and camera on it is amaising thank u for such a great phone all for £450.love it

Very good

Switched from S22 Ultra to this and am able to receive a signal in areas I had nothing with the Samsung plus battery drain seems far less with added extras in the operating system, would definitely recommend you switch and considering an S24Ultra is over £1200 compared to the £540 this phone cost you'd be a fool to turn it down.

What can I say, it was great until it updated itself.Came with v800, then immediately when setting up, updated to 831.Generally ok, odd crash but after a couple of weeks, updated to 832 and that was it.Constant bootloop, black screen no matter what I tried, reset, etc.Not just this brand but phone quality in general is seriously going down hill.

Great Smartphone,I recommend
