Vote now: OnePlus 12 – hot or not?

The OnePlus 12 went official in China a few days ago, sending ripples throughout the smartphone universe, just like gravitational waves from a black hole. Well, I'm exaggerating here for dramatic effect, of course, but the fact is that this is one of the few phones that has really excited me over the last couple of years. There are two main areas that I believe are paramount to the success of this scheme, and bear with me; it's not that obvious. The first, of course, is the camera. The main snapper uses one of Sony's latest sensors with the renowned moniker LYTIA.

Judging by the official OnePlus 12 camera samples released by the company a few days ago, we are in for a treat with this camera system. I know these are samples selected from a controlled environment, but they still look awesome.

The second feature is the rather large 5,400 mAh battery. Again, there are phones with bigger batteries (mostly gaming devices with huge footprints), but in a sleek and slim flagship, this is one of the largest cells to this day. And smartphone battery life is sometimes extremely underestimated.

The design of the OnePlus 12 is nothing radical; It screams OnePlus, and that's okay. And, of course, being a true flagship, this phone comes with the latest Snapdragon, the 8 Gen 3, but I've kind of stopped caring about the phone's processors these days; they are very fast.

So what do you think of OnePlus 12? Is it hot or not? Do you think this will push other companies to step up their game? Perhaps forcing Samsung to finally upgrade its flagship camera systems, or forcing Apple to put bigger batteries in the latest iPhones? Vote and comment, guys!
