A true flagship experience?OnePlus 12 performance test and camera in depth experience review

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-01-31

Digital Good Things Award Hello, everyone, I'm 100% content, today I'm going to talk about my performance test on the OnePlus 12, and at the same time talk about the gaming experience and camera experience.

As a new generation of digital series products with the main product power, OnePlus 12, which is positioned as a "flagship phone", is more obvious and has been fully upgraded to a certain extent, but what is the actual performance and actual experience of OnePlus 12?

Next, I will first use some software for basic performance testing, with the software is PCMARK, 3DMark, Geekbench6, GFXBENCH and Antutu, the content of the test includes the flash memory part. It should be emphasized that the score results are for reference only, and the score results will change with the upgrade of the system version and the upgrade of the test software version, and the version of this test is the system's own colorOS 14, which is tested in performance mode.

The following figure shows the OnePlus 12 running score results, with v100.When the 7th version of Antutu was tested, the running score reached 21480,000+, the score is 480,000 higher than the highest score of the tested Snapdragon Gen2 phone. Judging from the running score, the performance improvement of Snapdragon Gen3 compared to Snapdragon Gen2 is indeed big enough, in addition to the built-in discrete graphics card, it should be related to Snapdragon Gen3's more advanced GPU architecture, after all, it already supports hardware ray tracing and 240fps games.

pcmark work 3The actual score of 0 performance is 14441, which is much higher than the 10400 of the Snapdragon Gen2 phone.

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme display score is 5055 with an average frame rate of 3028, the score and frequency frame rate have increased significantly.

Geekbench6 has a CPU single-core score of 2166 and a multi-core score of 6457. The GPU (OpenGL) score is 14031.

The OnePlus 12 achieved an off-display performance of 71 fps on the GFXBENCH 1440p Aztec Ruins OpenGL (High Tier) off-display performance, compared to 181 fps off-display on the 1080p Aztec Ruins OpenGL (Normal Tier). OnePlus 12 at 1440p Manhattan off-screen (31.1) The test result is 166fps, which corresponds to 383fps in 1080p Manhattan off-screen.

For the storage performance part, the OnePlus 12 uses UFS40 flash, 2 in 3DMark storageThe score under the 0 test is 39541. The score under the Antutu storage test is 169024.

Next, let's talk about the game experience, first of all, remember to go to the game assistant, under the network optimization function, get 2 years of free "OPPO Smart Cloud Acceleration", this is the game cloud computing private network function that OnePlus has added for its mobile phone. When the network latency is greater than 110ms, OnePlus 12 will select the optimal solution from the two acceleration schemes of dual-channel acceleration and QoS acceleration to provide network acceleration according to the network connection mode. Dual-channel acceleration is turned on when Wi-Fi is connected, improving network stability through Wi-Fi in different frequency bands or simultaneous use between Wi-Fi and mobile dataQoS accelerates the establishment of a dedicated network channel between the mobile phone and the network base station in the cellular network environment to ensure the priority transmission of normal data.

The way to get 2 years of free OPPO Smart Cloud Acceleration is to open any mobile game, such as Genshin Impact, Pesticide, Chicken and other games, swipe left to right to open "Game Assistant", enter Network Optimization, receive "OPPO Smart Cloud Acceleration", and then turn it on. Note that this 2-year free service is bound to your mobile phone, not to your account, which means that if you buy two mobile phones and log in to the same account, then each mobile phone can receive 2 years of "OPPO Smart Cloud Acceleration" service.

This OPPO smart cloud acceleration is similar to the accelerator used in PC games,But the function is stronger,In addition to having a basic normal networking environment, stable and not dropped、Low latency,It can also be used to achieve mobile phones in basements、Stations、Places with poor signals such as subways can still be connected normally,For gamers like me,OPPO smart cloud acceleration is used to eliminate the pain points of game jamming in weak network environments,Effectively avoid the occurrence of 460(ms delay). Some people say that smart cloud acceleration is useless, it can only mean that your mobile phone signal is poor, it sounds like a lot of reasonable, but you still have to take other mobile phones to make a practical comparison, for example, if you take the iphone and OnePlus 12 at the same time into the basement, garage, elevator and other places with a bad signal, you can directly try to connect to the Internet and dial**.

In the actual game experience,My focus is on"Adaptive Super Frame"Mode,This function is provided by the Super Frame Super Picture Engine,You can provide the game from 60 frames to 120 frames,And here it can be used to test whether OnePlus 12 can achieve Super Frame stably,The following figure is the data tested after the "Glory of Kings" directly turned on"Adaptive Super Frame" mode,The third set of lines is the change in frame rate,The overall frame rate does not fluctuate much,The corresponding average frame rate118.1fps。

When you manually disable the Adaptive Super Frame mode and enable the 120 fps mode, the corresponding average frame rate is 1174fps, which is not much different from the results in the "Adaptive Superframe" mode above, so that you don't have to modify the parameters in the settings every time to enable the 120 fps mode. The new bionic vibration motor Turbo used in OnePlus 12 this time brings me an intuitive experience that the vibration is stronger, the vibration changes are smoother, and the gaming experience has been improved.

Judging from the game experience under 7 consecutive games with 120 frames of high image quality (room temperature 24 degrees with heating), the temperature of the back cover of OnePlus 12 is not very high, it belongs to the warm range, and this is an experience under the condition of installing the original phone case, the reason is that I personally feel that the OnePlus 12 bare body is a little thin. OnePlus 12 has obvious stacking materials in terms of heat dissipation design, through the upgraded version of the integrated dual-cycle heat dissipation design of the aerospace grade Tiangong cooling system Pro with 9140mm heat dissipation VC and 38547mm total heat dissipation area to ensure the internal heat dissipation performance, of course, for our users, the final look is the actual heat dissipation performance.

However, if you want to say that "a large heat dissipation area means that the heat dissipation technology is not good", I personally don't agree with it, for the passive heat dissipation equipment of the mobile phone, it is different from the graphics card and water cooling system used on the host, and can not achieve active heat dissipation through the built-in fan, but can only achieve good heat dissipation performance by improving the heat dissipation architecture and increasing the heat dissipation area, and the heat dissipation area is the basis of passive heat dissipation, and theoretically the larger the heat dissipation area, the better.

One thing to mention here is that the OnePlus 12 weighs 242 grams with a shell, which may be a bit heavy for some players with little strength or small palms, and fatigue may occur relatively quickly when playing mobile games.

All in all, the routine upgrade of OnePlus 12 is indeed a big improvement in terms of performance and gaming experience this time, which can be used as a reference for daily phone changes. For the part where the curved screen is not suitable for gaming, my solution is to turn on the immersive mode when using OnePlus 12 games, so as to avoid the problem of accidental touches.

Next, let's talk about the camera, which is one of the core components of the mobile phone, and the focus is on the rear camera module. OnePlus 12 follows the circular camera module design of OnePlus 11, and the process has been improved, and the official advertisement is the lens module design created by the high-luxury watch technology, specifically the CD pattern and characters in the middle of the lens module are etched out through reverse stereo etching on the back, and the stainless steel rim design is also added to the single lens and flash part.

OnePlus 12 still adopts the Hasselblad image module design, with hardware stacking + software depth optimization + super light and shadow image engine algorithm + super light and shadow Proxdr display blessing, through the optimization and upgrading of software and hardware to improve the imaging effect. OnePlus12The rear camera module consists of50 million pixel main camera + 64 million pixel telephoto lens + 48 million pixel ultra wide-angle lens, the main camera and telephoto lens both support OIS optical image stabilization, of which the main camera uses a new generation of flagship sensor light Yu lyt-808 customized by Sony, the advantage is that the bright and dark parts are restored truly and perfectly at the same time through hardware and algorithm collaborative design, so that the bright parts are not exposed and the dark parts are detailed.

The telephoto lens uses the HowVision ov64B sensor, if this sensor is used in the main camera, I will not consider buying this mobile phone, but if it is used in the telephoto lens, you can also experience it, because the telephoto lens on Huawei's flagship machine uses the OmniVision ov64B sensor, and it is also through the software algorithm to greatly improve the image quality, then OnePlus 12 can also be used with its own flagship algorithm to improve imaging performance, how is the actual imaging performance, let's take a closer look.

The OnePlus 12 has some changes to the features in the camera preview, but the overall functionality is the same. Among these features, I am naturally interested in the new addition of telephoto, portrait mode, and XPAN.

First of all, my intuitive feeling is that the imaging effect is more delicate, the color performance is natural and realistic, there is no excessive retouching in order to please the eyes or the picture, and the brighter colors do not look so fake. Whether it is indoor or outdoor, daytime or cloudy, OnePlus 12 is also more natural in the restoration of light, such as cloudy days, you can also intuitively distinguish from **. The images below were taken in automatic mode.

In the scene with a stronger contrast between light and dark at night,OnePlus12You can shoot through night mode,The color reproduction performance is very good,There is no problem of overexposure,Some dark details can be restored very clearly and clearly,The sense of light hierarchy expressed is also more realistic,There is no simple brightness suppression or brightness improvement in the light and dark areas,This should be the super light and shadow image engine for the light and shadow effects of objects of different brightness in the picture are unified and coordinated。 Of course, there will be noise in some dark night scenes, such as the sky as the background, which will not affect the overall appearance, but there is still room for optimization and improvement.

The addition of the OnePlus 12's periscope telephoto lens is the most direct manifestation of making it easier to shoot some large scenes, such as high-rise buildings, without the trouble of constantly adjusting the position. OnePlus 12 supports 3x optical zoom, 6x optical quality zoom and 120x digital zoom, as far as the actual effect is concerned, more than 6x optical quality zoom shooting** will become a little mushy, so 120x digital zoom is a bit unrealistic, this should be the limitation of Haowei OV64B sensor, and the follow-up will also intelligently optimize the imaging effect through relevant software algorithms. My focus here is on 6x optical quality zoom, shooting an overall image in the same position**, and then using 6x optical quality zoom to shoot small individuals. Judging from the golden tower above the castle, the clock above the clock tower and the lower waist girl on the roof**, the overall 6x optical quality zoom shooting is relatively clear, and the details are also very good, the green tiles on the top of the golden tower, the pattern of the clock dial, the words on the soles of the feet of the lower-waist girl, etc., can be directly recognized, there is no obvious sense of smearing that affects the perception, and there is no obvious burr or paste at the edge of the object.

The reason why I prefer the XPAN mode is that in addition to the OnePlus 12's restored XPAN frame and 65:24 wide format ratio, it also has a black and white film mode and a unique negative film development. This negative film development belongs to the characteristic photography process of the film machine,That is, taking pictures-negative-processing-developing process,Compared with the instant shooting and display of the mobile phone camera,Negative film development makes mobile phone photography more ritualistic,In addition, the virtual ** compensation runner on the left side will have a sense of vibration when rotating,Through linear motor vibration to simulate the sense of scale or damping when the runner rotates,It can be said that OnePlus12Simulates the shooting experience of film cameras from two aspects: look and feel。

The OnePlus 12 also simulates the effect of two Hasselblad XPAN lenses, which are 17mm focal length and 25mm focal length, which can meet the shooting needs of different scenes such as natural scenery, street corner culture, and portraits. This very wide field of view in XPAN mode is naturally more conducive to composition, and the one-click switching of black and white film mode can also be more convenient and fast to shoot black and white**, which can naturally better cater to those who want to shoot black and white with a more sense of story and cinematic**.

The portrait mode competition should be to highlight the clear image of the subject and the more natural and real blur background, not to blur for the sake of blurring and make the subject look like a cutout, nor to make the blur background have an obvious smear feeling. OnePlus 12 is shot in Hasselblad portrait mode**, the subject is prominent, the background is bokeh naturally, and the colors in the background are easy to distinguish whether the different colors of the subject are bokeh. (No model, no sister paper, can only appear on their own).

The restoration of details is also very good, such as the fleece in the jacket and the hat and the beard on the chin can be clearly seen. The portrait has a beautifying effect, but not too much, and the default is to improve the whitening effect without slimming the face. The restoration of light is also good, the picture below is taken on a cloudy day after the snow**, which can make people more intuitive to see that it is a cloudy day, and the ground on the left side looks brighter than the place without snow on the right because of the snow. If you're not a fan of face shooting, switch between the other two focal lengths, and in addition to the default 70mm focal length, the OnePlus 12 also has 23mm and 47mm focal lengths to choose from.

Generally speaking, the hardware upgrade of the camera module of OnePlus 12 this time, with a new generation of super light and shadow image system and Hasselblad image mode, has made OnePlus 12 achieve a leapfrog upgrade at the software and hardware level, and the overall imaging effect has also been improved a lot, such as brightness control, color control, In terms of detail restoration, of course, as the first telephoto lens equipped with OmniVision OV64B sensor, there is still room for improvement in actual imaging, and it is hoped that a version of the system upgrade can be launched to optimize and improve the imaging effect of the telephoto lens.

The above is my performance test, gaming and camera experience of the OnePlus 12, I hope to give some useful references to users who pay attention to the OnePlus 12, and I will comment on the experience of the screen separately in the next article.

A fully upgraded "flagship phone", OnePlus 12 is light out of the box.
