Hi - thinking of upgrading from my 1.5 year old S21 FE to Oneplus 12 primarily because of battery issues / charging time as well as s21 fe generally being a bit slow. Just worried about whether I will be compromising on the camera quality. Do you guys think that oneplus 12 will have an inferior camera (primarily photos) to the s21 fe, or will it be an upgrade on the camera as well as compared to the s21 fe?

Thanks in advance for everyone's opinion.

Go ahead, you wont be disappointed. The only drawback is that curved display. Normal screen protectors wont be there. You have to use something called UV glue protector and applying that is a mess.

doesn't work too well too, it'll come right off when you use a back cover, and for curved displays, a back cover is a must unless you are fine shelling out the dough for a new screen

My friend recently bought the OP12. Traded her Pixel 7 in because the battery on that sucked, and used to overheat.

The phone is great, battery life is outstanding and the screen quality is excellent. The camera quality is better than expected and takes good photos. As for the curved display, buy the protector from a OP store. They specifically keep those. They will also apply it for you.

PS and OT - I personally love curved displays and never use a screen protector lol. I have a Motorola Edge 30 Ultra and it's been naked since day one.

This isnt always the case. I owned a OP12 for a few months. It came with a basic screen guard installed. When that needed replacement, visited the OnePlus store and their service centre. Neither had the screen protector. There were third party options I could find at a local mobile accesories shop though

I had moved to the op12 from an old samsung s20 plus. The camera was better than the Samsung. It seemed to have a lot more bloat/spyware than the samsung. It took a while to clean it up. Battery life was excellent. Snappy processor

Camera, Battery, Processor everything is an upgrade over the s21fe .. Display is bright and regarding the screen protector you can use hydrogel ones with smooth application from Amazon (Both Matte & Transparent ones) ..Camera is not on par with the S24 Ultra but it's a good upgrade over OnePlus 11.. it's as snappy as the S24 Ultra and more snapper than Vivo X100 pro
