Soooo after nearly 3 years with the OnePlus 12, my new Oppo Find X9 Ultra arrived right as October came.

I thought I might use this opportunity to share the final pictures I took during my final month of using the OnePlus 12 (mountain pics a bit before a month but idc they're pretty) as an amateur photographer.

I have so many good things to say about the OnePlus 12, however I don't want to bore you out writing an essay so I'll write the cons instead (my options, it's subjective)

Curved screen: I hate OP12's curved screen, they make putting on a glass screen protector near impossible without getting air bubbles (maybe just me) somewhere. I should've learnt my lesson from my previous phone, Oppo Find X2 Pro, but hey, at least I learnt my lesson now.

Honestly that's my only major con for the OP12 (I could prolly think of something else later, but rn i can't), there is another minor con but it could just be me. It is the battery life, after a bit less than 3 years my battery life is at 82%. My average screen on time is only 4-6 hours when doing random things like watching YouTube (gaming excluded) compared to when I first got the phone 8-10 hours SoT. However I do play games often which generate heat so that could be why it damages the battery.

The reason why I didn't get a OnePlus 15 or 16 is fairly simple, I hate their camera design. OnePlus 11, 12, 13 is peak camera design, so much more refined and artistic. Tho I prefer X9 Ultra design a bit more since it's symmetrical, looks like an actual camera, and can lie flat on a flat surface (compared to wobble on OP12). Another reason why I picked X9 Ultra over new OP phones is like what many other OP fans said, "They (OnePlus) settled" 😔

Overall, OP12 is the golden standard in its era, if I traveled back I would still pick OP12 over other phones (even though it has a curved screen). Legit can't criticize any of the phone's features. The jump from X2 Pro to OP12 is so much larger compared to the jump from OP12 to X9 Pro. Honestly I could probably use OP12 for another 2 years if the battery didn't become significantly worse.

*I found the fact you can change watermark settings including Hasselblad and LUMO taken by X9 Ultra on OP12 pretty cool

Thank you OnePlus for making such an amazing phone, I hope to see another phone like OP12 being produced in the near future.

Most pics are taken in master mode, I think one or two are taken in normal mode.

The first and last picture are my fav.

I ❤️ OP12!

What do y'all think of the new Novablast 6?

(Ik it says 3, Asics prolly misspelled it)

The background for this season's ranked thingy looks beautiful, I wanna see it as my computer background. Is there an original version without the UI interface?

I just got the Liberty 5 Pro Max. I realized you can only pick either LDAC or Dolby Audio. I don't require Dolby Head Tracking.

I heard LDAC provides higher bitrate, while Dolby Audio has the best sound tuning in the industry.

Which one provides more "authentic" and "original" sound for music?

Is this really a treasure? What can I do with it??

I just wasted 1500 tokens because I accidentally clicked the 1500-tokens coin pack. Like C'mon, at least add a pop up screen like when purchasing things that cost real money. This is just a rant, imma go to customer support and try to get back my lost tokens.

This shitty animated portrait completely ruins my collection's artistic flow. I want her in my collection, but not with the dynamic portrait on, any way to turn it off?

I'm going to get a Pad 3, interested in the Stylo Pro, but I'm not going to spend wayyy more money to get Pad 4 with only minor spec increases.
