OnePlus 12 review: smartphone left behind by top rivals

A slick screen, top chip and long battery life are let down by lack of advanced AI and short support life

OnePlus’s latest top phone can’t shake the feeling of being left behind by rivals.

Even with a sleek appearance, speedy software and longer battery life the OnePlus 12 is devoid of the much-hyped AI tools packed into handsets from Samsung, Google and others. It feels more like a phone from 2020 than from the new era of artificial intelligence.
