Even if the OnePlus 12 impressed us a little less than the Magic 6 Pro, it’s still a great high-end smartphone. First of all, it is also equipped with a famous SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which gives it considerable power. Moreover, the latter is connected with 16 GB RAMWhich also makes it a perfect product for gaming.
Then, it has the advantage of being luxurious 6.82 inch screen Which is similar to Samsung’s flagship with its 6.8-inch format. In any case, he has a slab AMOLED with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This template won’t suit everyone, but it’s great for ease of use if you want to watch the series on your phone. Its photo module is made up of 3 sensors.

Nothing Phone pleasantly surprised us with its Nothing Phone (2) and the manufacturer has just released a lighter version, the Phone 2a, with great value for money. Additionally, this type of naming is reminiscent of Google’s Pixel devices. Whatever happens to the starting price of €349It is a product with a solid technical sheet.
In detail, it has slabs 6.7-inch AMOLED with a refresh rate of 120Hz. For this price, it is rare to benefit from such display quality. Otherwise, it has a specialized processor Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Pro With 8 or 12 GB of RAM depending on the version. The latter did not surprise us with its power and it allows the device to benefit from great fluidity even in games. The photo module consists of two 50 Mpx sensors. At this point, the result is correct, but the performance is erratic from one situation to another.
Last point, during our testing, the 5000 mAh battery With refresh at 120 Hz the model offered about 14 hours of autonomy. Finally, the 45W charger allowed the smartphone to be recharged in just one hour.
