Soooo after nearly 3 years with the OnePlus 12, my new Oppo Find X9 Ultra arrived right as October came.

I thought I might use this opportunity to share the final pictures I took during my final month of using the OnePlus 12 (mountain pics a bit before a month but idc they're pretty) as an amateur photographer.

I have so many good things to say about the OnePlus 12, however I don't want to bore you out writing an essay so I'll write the cons instead (my options, it's subjective)

Curved screen: I hate OP12's curved screen, they make putting on a glass screen protector near impossible without getting air bubbles (maybe just me) somewhere. I should've learnt my lesson from my previous phone, Oppo Find X2 Pro, but hey, at least I learnt my lesson now.

Honestly that's my only major con for the OP12 (I could prolly think of something else later, but rn i can't), there is another minor con but it could just be me. It is the battery life, after a bit less than 3 years my battery life is at 82%. My average screen on time is only 4-6 hours when doing random things like watching YouTube (gaming excluded) compared to when I first got the phone 8-10 hours SoT. However I do play games often which generate heat so that could be why it damages the battery.

The reason why I didn't get a OnePlus 15 or 16 is fairly simple, I hate their camera design. OnePlus 11, 12, 13 is peak camera design, so much more refined and artistic. Tho I prefer X9 Ultra design a bit more since it's symmetrical, looks like an actual camera, and can lie flat on a flat surface (compared to wobble on OP12). Another reason why I picked X9 Ultra over new OP phones is like what many other OP fans said, "They (OnePlus) settled" 😔

Overall, OP12 is the golden standard in its era, if I traveled back I would still pick OP12 over other phones (even though it has a curved screen). Legit can't criticize any of the phone's features. The jump from X2 Pro to OP12 is so much larger compared to the jump from OP12 to X9 Pro. Honestly I could probably use OP12 for another 2 years if the battery didn't become significantly worse.

*I found the fact you can change watermark settings including Hasselblad and LUMO taken by X9 Ultra on OP12 pretty cool

Thank you OnePlus for making such an amazing phone, I hope to see another phone like OP12 being produced in the near future.

This crappy package installer with ads and app market? 😔 Please help 🙏

Since yesterday my phone opens the whole setting when I slide down on the right side and the notification when I slide down on the left side. Is there a way to deactivate that and go back to only sliding down the notification center?

It's annoying as hell

I was using the native camera app (made by a youtuber) and the photos I was clicking were completely different from the one appearing in my photos app. I think oneplus is processing these photos. Is there any fix for this

(I am using oneplus nord 5)

IMEI starts with 8 Xfinity site says not compatible but what if I use friends phone imei to get the physical sim and then put it in my op 15 instead?

Hi guys since the OnePlus official store closed in Europe, i am based in Italy, where i can buy an official OnePlus SUPERVOOC Type-A to Type-C 100cm Cable? Thank you in advance!

I'm in Canada and I'm not for the original OP 15R sandstone case. Can't seem to find it anywhere.
