Its Price Has Got A Plus — It comes in a typical red OnePlus shoebox-shaped package, but the OnePlus 12 5G has a slight price hike. While the OnePlus 11 5G had started at Rs 56,999, the OnePlus 12 5G starts at Rs 64,999. To be fair, the base OnePlus 11 5G was an 8GB+128GB model, whereas the base OnePlus 12 5G is a 12GB+256GB model, so one gets more for those extra bucks. Interestingly, for the second year in a row, OnePlus has not released a Pro variant of its flagship. Has that era ended? [All Image Credits: Nimish Dubey & Akriti Rana]

Looks Elegant, And Ever So Familiar — It is elegant, but the OnePlus 12 5G can be mistaken for the OnePlus 11 5G, especially the black variant (go for the Flowy Emerald, if you want a OnePlus that looks different). It is bigger and heavier (220g) than the OnePlus 11 5G, but the design basics are the same — curved display in front, aluminium frame, and glass back with a large, dark circular camera unit. There's no talk of titanium (praise be), but this is a tough phone with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 in front, Gorilla Glass on the back, and IP65 dust and water resistance — up from IP64 on the OnePlus 11, but still short of the IP68 on the iPhone.
