This is a truly great device. I have the black version and this phone is FANTASTIC!

I won't be going back to Samsung anytime soon.

So, the Oneplus 12R .... which I just bought, is basically the same exact phone, better actually in a few ways and, is only missing 2 features. Both of which do not matter. The 12R doesn't have wireless charging ... but, big deal as the 12R has 85watt / 100 watt superfast charging, and, has a huge battery. I can charge my 12R to 100% in around 25 or so minutes from dead. The battery is massive and lasts all well over the day, with heavy usage. 2nd is optical zoom, which, is not a dealbreaker as it's not a feature people really use. I paid $499 for mine, unlocked, 16gb ram / 256 storage with the Snapdragon Gen 2. .... huge 6.8 screen, OLED, amazing speakers, very very snappy. The Oneplus 12R is being called the best phone of 2024 because how powerful it is for the price. Just can't be beat.

Just the fact you need to worry about spyware should be a big no

OnePlus 12 - 4 years of OS updates
OnePllus 12r - 3 years of updates
Samsung S24 Ultra - 7 years of updates
Google Pixel - 7 years of updates

I know Google Play can continue to patch same security issues but it cannot get everything. So I also factor in cost per year of updates and OnePlus falls behind. Of course phones get passed around in our family and are used until they become security risks, we would keep a phone for 7 years.

Does DLSS work on all games on phone?
It works on many popular titles, I don't know the details because I just ordered the phone so I haven't got the chance to try it out, here's a YouTube video reviewing the chip's capability https://youtu.be/FnIT1FA8oUk?si=UFdq67bDN4swQc-M
Based on the review, the chip does some type of postprocessing so it can render games natively at 40fps but display it at 120fps so you end up using less battery life than S24U rendering at 60fps natively and get higher frame rate. This is why I said it's a deal breaker to gamers for Samsung to not have this chip in their flagship S24U

click on trade in any device any condition you get $100 off on top, you don't have to send in anything based on previous deal comments
Can confirm. I forgot to send in my broken smart watch when I got the OnePlus Watch 2 and forgot to send in the Fire Tablet when I got the OnePlus Pad earlier this year. They never charged me the difference and I kept the discount. Officially you have to send it in 14 days after delivery. I did that for my OnePlus Fold however. If it says "any device in any condition" they aren't really checking it. It goes to a 3rd party.

Very interesting... tried to see if any other phone incorporates this but seems like none. This leads me to long term support worries.

Other phones have this chip but you don't want the other phones like the OnePlus Ace 3 because it's not a US/Global version so their rom image contains spyware for the government to spy on their citizens. And the China version of OP12 also don't have all the bands from US carriers. OP12 US/Global version is the only phone with this chip, no spyware and with all bands for US carriers, that's why when people say the OP12 is cheaper on their .cn website, they are saving pennies to buy spyware phones and lose some US bands which is a big mistake.

In terms of support, this is not something that oneplus has to do. It's Pixelworks and mobile game developers. oneplus probably just need to have the driver/software on their rom image which is easy to do.

Awe man. If this was for the watch instead of the buds and bag I'd be all over it. I don't have a use for either.
