OnePlus 12 vs Poco F7 Ultra

OnePlus 12

A 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED with 120Hz, Dolby Vision, 2160Hz PWM dimming and a 4,500-nit peak — widely rated one of the best phone panels available, with the only knock being curved-edge ergonomics.

• LTPO AMOLED, 1B colors, 120Hz, 2160Hz PWM, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 600 nits typical / 1600 HBM / 4,500 nits peak.
• These are some of the best OLED panels you can get on a smartphone right now — and it gets brighter than the iPhone 15 Pro at 4K HDR YouTube playback.
• HBM mode delivers excellent outdoor visibility even under harsh sunlight, and the QHD panel is noticeably sharper than a 1080p screen.
• Notebookcheck rates the display the standout — scoring it 114% in their weighted display metric.
• The curved edges add a premium flair with good palm rejection, but finding screen protectors is a real headache — most UV guards bubble within a month.

Poco F7 Ultra

A 6.67-inch 2K 120Hz AMOLED that's bright, color-accurate and a clear generational upgrade.

• GSMArena measured 1,506 nits under standard test conditions — plenty bright and a clear improvement over the F6 Pro.
• A 2K 120Hz AMOLED with 3,200-nit peak brightness — r/Android calls it 'excellent, bright, Dolby Vision-compliant.'
• Independent testing logged ~3,200-nit peak and ~1,800 nits in high-brightness mode, with a 1.91-nit minimum and 3,840Hz PWM dimming for night use.
• In a side-by-side it was visibly brighter than a Samsung flagship in harsh outdoor light, despite costing half as much.

OnePlus 12

A Hasselblad-tuned triple system — 50MP main, 64MP 3x periscope, 48MP ultrawide — that delivers a genuine flagship experience and the best OnePlus camera yet, though it still trails Pixel/Galaxy for stills and the periscope weakens in low light.

• Triple rear: 50MP f/1.6 main with OIS, 64MP f/2.6 3x periscope telephoto with OIS, and 48MP ultrawide — plus 8K/24fps video.
• The OnePlus 12 delivers on its camera promise — impressive detail and reliable zoom, easily one of the best camera efforts from OnePlus.
• The 3x periscope is a daily-driver favorite — used 90% of the time — and 3x portrait mode is the standout, though it produces warmer tones and struggles in low light versus the main sensor.
• In a three-way test against the Pixel 8 Pro and S24 Ultra, owners were 'honestly surprised at how good the cameras of the 12 are' — but the Pixel still took the best, most true-to-life pictures.
• Versus the S24, owners say Samsung's cameras are definitely better in most comparison shots, though the OP12 occasionally looks better.

Poco F7 Ultra

POCO's most complete camera ever — finally with a real telephoto — but still the area where POCO compromises versus true flagships.

• A 50MP main, a genuine 50MP floating telephoto (60mm, 10cm macro to infinity, 2.5x optical), a 32MP ultrawide and a 32MP selfie — POCO's most complete camera system yet.
• r/Android's verdict: POCO did 'just enough with the camera to make it feel more complete and competitive' — the best Xiaomi device outside the T/main series in years.
• Against the iPhone 16 Pro Max the 60mm telephoto was 'a clear win for the F7 Ultra,' and 2x quality edged Apple's despite Apple's color advantage.
• In dark or trickier high-dynamic-range scenes it doesn't hold up against true flagships — 'if there's one weakness POCO has always made, it's the cameras.'
• Video has real limits — no 4K front recording, no lens switching while filming 4K60, and Xiaomi's typical contrast/brownish processing for point-and-shoot users.

OnePlus 12

The 5,400mAh battery is the phone's most-praised feature — multi-day-feeling endurance with 6–10 hours of screen-on time — paired with class-leading 80W (US) / 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

• The huge 5,400mAh battery is one of the key reasons the OnePlus 12 excels in long-term use, consistently delivering 6–7 hours of screen-on time at a constant 120Hz.
• It easily lasts 9 to 10 hours of screen time on moderate use; at 6 months, 7–8 hours with all features on.
• Charging spec: 100W wired 100% in 26 min (international) / 80W in 30 min (USA), plus 50W wireless to full in 55 min.
• Real-world the battery fully charges from ~5% to 100% in about 40 minutes (occasionally up to 50) — and OnePlus includes the 100W SuperVOOC adapter in the box.
• Even owners who sold the phone agree the one thing it did better than any other phone they've used is the battery.

Poco F7 Ultra

A modest 5,300mAh cell offset by the fastest charging in its class — 120W wired and Ultra-exclusive 50W wireless.

• 120W wired charging fully refills the 5,300mAh battery in ~30 minutes (60% at the 15-minute mark); a 90W adapter is only marginally slower.
• Adds 120W wired plus 50W wireless charging — faster than anything out there including the S25 Ultra, and wireless charging is exclusive to the Ultra in the F7 line.
• The F7 Pro carries a larger 6,000mAh battery vs the Ultra's 5,300mAh, but real-world battery-life difference between them is minor.
• Endurance results vary widely by test — one rundown hit an 'insane' 35h27m, while a standardized 1440p test got only ~14h22m, behind a smaller-battery S25 Ultra.
• In a six-flagship drain test it lasted 6h18m of active screen-on time — mid-pack, behind the iPhone, OnePlus and Vivo X200 Pro but ahead of the Xiaomi 15.

OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12's core argument: flagship hardware that materially undercuts the Galaxy S24 and Pixel, with frequent discounts to ~$650 making the value case even stronger.

• 9to5Google's headline verdict: 'OnePlus 12 Review: The best value in a smartphone in 2024'.
• Forbes / Moor Insights framed it bluntly: 'Samsung beware — OnePlus debuts a flagship killer with the OnePlus 12'.
• It is significantly lower priced than comparable mainstream flagships — about 57% cheaper than an equivalent S24+ in one owner's market — squarely back in flagship-killer territory.
• Reddit consensus: being significantly less expensive than the S24 Ultra makes it the top choice for most people; r/Android dubbed it 'The Best Premium Phone of 2024 (in the USA)'.
• It frequently drops to ~$650 — a record low — making an already strong value proposition even better.
• Still hits a sweet spot in 2025 — flagship-level features without the ultra-premium price, 'one of the best beast devices from OnePlus'.

Poco F7 Ultra

Widely called the best bargain of 2025 — its toughest competition is its own cheaper sibling, the F7 Pro.

• Android Central's verdict: 'POCO F7 Ultra review: The best bargain of 2025.'
• Mark Ellis Reviews: with flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, a vibrant display and staggeringly good battery life, it's 'a formidable phone in the mid-range market.'
• Creative Bloq asked whether it 'could be the best value camera phone of 2025' — a question POCO's cameras have never previously invited.
• The closest rival is its own sibling: the F7 Pro 'does basically the same things for less cash' with a bigger battery — the Ultra justifies itself on chipset, telephoto and wireless charging.
• Forbes notes the F7 Ultra was POCO's first true flagship phone with 'no-compromise cameras (for the price)' — a milestone for the brand.
