Features
Every detail, verified.
01Network and SIM
It works on any UK network, with 5G. OnePlus UK lists a dual nano-SIM tray and eSIM support that depends on your carrier, and it also depends on the model supplied, so message us to confirm before you order.
02Display
OnePlus specifies a 6.82-inch QHD+ (3168 x 1440) ProXDR display with LTPO up to 120Hz, 4,500 nits peak brightness and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. It's the highest-resolution screen in our OnePlus range below the OnePlus 13.
03Performance and storage
OnePlus lists the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with an Adreno 750 GPU, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. It was Qualcomm's flagship chip of 2024, so games and editing apps run smoothly. Storage is 256GB or 512GB with no card slot.
04Cameras
OnePlus lists a 50MP Sony LYT-808 main camera with optical stabilisation, a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and a 48MP ultrawide, plus a 32MP front camera. The periscope is what the cheaper OnePlus 12R lacks.
05Battery and charging
OnePlus fits a 5,400mAh dual-cell battery with 100W SUPERVOOC wired and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging; those speeds need OnePlus chargers. Our minimum battery health at dispatch is at least 85% on every grade (Like New, Excellent and Very Good).
06Software updates
OnePlus committed to four major Android upgrades and five years of security patches for the OnePlus 12, which launched internationally in January 2024. Check the latest status before you buy. GSMArena lists IP65 when new.

Our view
Is a refurbished OnePlus 12 worth buying in 2026?
Yes, if you want flagship speed and zoom for less. OnePlus lists a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 3x periscope and 50W wireless charging, and updates run into 2029. The trade-off: Google's Pixel 8 Pro has a longer update promise.
Who it's for
Power users and mobile gamers who want top-tier performance and fast charging. If you don't need zoom or wireless charging, the OnePlus 12R saves £90. For the newest model, see the OnePlus 13.
