The OnePlus 12 isn’t the company’s current flagship model, but it remains a solid device boasting top-notch performance from its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform and incredibly fast charging speeds. It’s a more affordable alternative to the OnePlus 13, and now is a great time to buy one because the device is currently on sale.
You can save $300 off the 512GB OnePlus 12 by entering the code “300OFFNOW” at checkout when purchasing the phone from OnePlus’ official storefront. This deal applies to both the Silky Black and Flowy Emerald (green) color options, the latter of which is finally back in stock after a long hiatus. The 256GB OnePlus 12 is currently out of stock.

The OnePlus 12 is a well-rounded device capable of competing with the company’s latest flagship model, the OnePlus 13. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, performance is fast and reliable. Users will be able to play intensive mobile games like Genshin Impact and hop between multiple apps with relative ease. Plus, its high-quality Quad HD+ (3,168 x 1,440 pixels) resolution display has a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits. That’s bright enough to pierce the sun’s glare and maintain clear visibility.
One of the smartphone’s best features is its longevity. Its massive 5,400mAh battery allows the OnePlus 12 to last a full day and a half on a single charge. The model supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging to go from 0% to 100% battery in almost no time at all.
