EDITORIAL: Being Oppo's "flagship killer" brand, OnePlus 12 does a great job. Fast performance, long battery life with sub-30min charging 0-100%, excellent screen and a very capable camera setup. Combined with a right price and you have a brand-building success (without full IP68 protection).

Limited to China but sold in India as OnePlus 13S.
