The OnePlus 12 has recently been released internationally, and in the UK, there is already a discount available for the 16/512GB model at £900. The base model is the 12/256GB variant, but it is not currently on sale, priced at £850. Spending an additional £50 for 4GB of RAM and double the storage seems like a good investment.
Since its launch, the phone has received several significant updates. The first update introduced Master Mode, which offers Hasselblad color tuning for the camera. Another update enabled ProXDR support for the Google Photos app. Furthermore, a recent update introduced various AI features, such as the AIGC Remover to eliminate unwanted objects and people from photos, AI Summariser for a brief call history overview, and Article Summaries to condense lengthy articles into bite-sized text.
The OnePlus 12R is also available, but it is not currently discounted. Priced at £650, it is significantly more affordable than its flagship counterpart. OnePlus is also planning to release a 12R Genshin Impact Edition, designed after Keqing, on February 28.
Carl Pei, after leaving OnePlus, established Nothing. The company is preparing for the launch of its first mid-range device, while its second flagship is witnessing a price drop. The 12/256GB Nothing Phone (2) is priced at £530, which is slightly discounted from its previous price of £550, while the 12/512GB model now sells for £560, down from £620 two weeks ago.
Samsung offers several Android devices priced under £200. The Galaxy A15 5G features a Dimensity 6100+ chipset, providing a 90Hz 6.5” AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution.
