I had the oneplus 11 before this and switched to the pixel 8 pro thinking it would be a better phone... suffice it to say I was wrong. Now I have the OnePlus 12 and if they keep this level of quality up I will never switch to another brand again.
Compared to the OnePlus 11:
Better cameras
Faster CPU
Brighter display
Charges a bit faster
Build feels more premium
Compared to the Pixel 8 Pro:
CPU is not even in the same realm. OnePlus doesn't get hot unless you're really pushing it for long periods and has so much more raw horsepower.
Similar level of premium build quality, but feels more comfortable in the hand due to curved edges.
Wayyyyyy faster charging. This makes a huge difference for me because I use my phone heavily all day for both work and personal use. Just being able to boost the charge to 50% quickly is a game changer. Pixel takes 1.5h to fully charge most of the time even with good chargers.
Camera quality is roughly the same. I compared telephoto photos at 6x to pixel's 5x and detail was very very close. As a photographer I prefer the more natural look you get from OnePlus.
Price... this one is obvious. OnePlus definitely wins here.
Software is good on the OnePlus. Better than it's ever been actually. Pixel has a couple of benefits here thanks to AI but I personally never used them so I can't really compare. OnePlus 12 animations feel more fluid and pleasing though.
I'll update this if I run into any issues. So far the software has been roughly as stable as Pixel itself so no complains there and I hope the phone continues to work as well for me as it does now.
I strongly recommend this to anyone except for those who require an S-Pen or just have extra money to spend for no reason.
