1. OnePlus 12 – Best overall
The OnePlus 12 is the company’s latest flagship phone, and it’s another slam dunk.
The phone sports the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a variable 120Hz display with an amazing peak brightness of 4,500 nits, nippy 80W wired charging alongside a 50W wireless option – something that wasn’t present on the 11. It’s also got a distinctive design, with the Flowy Emerald colour stealing the show.
There are downsides. The IP65 rating isn’t as durable as an IP68 one that many flagships have. In addition, both the Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S24 series offer seven years of OS and security updates, whilst OnePlus only offers four years of Android support and five years of security updates.
The main and telephoto cameras are very impressive, though the same can’t be said for the wide-angle and selfie cameras. Nonetheless, the OnePlus 12 is undoubtedly the best you can buy from the brand right now,.
