In our OnePlus 12 review we gave the phone a respectable four out of five stars. We loved the "cool look and design", battery life and performance, and camera quality, among other things. Even though the new OnePlus 13 has superseded it, version 12 still has a spot among our best Android phones for a reason.

Most notably, its fast charging capabilities are up there with the best. It can jump from 0 to 100% charge in just 30 minutes when using its maximum wattage. Our reviewer reported using it for about two days at a leisurely pace and still "well into the night" when it was pushed to its limits with gaming, photography, and other demanding tasks.

OnePlus might not be as high-profile as Samsung or Google but they still have an impressive portfolio of electronics. See the best OnePlus phones and our review of the latest OnePlus smartphone, the OnePlus 13.
