Why you should buy the OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12 is the Android phone we’ve all been waiting for, and it’s an incredible alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy lineup and Google’s Pixel devices. The OP 12 has a bright and colorful screen, great shell colors to choose from, and some of the fastest and most responsive performance we’ve ever seen from a mobile device. You’ll also be able to enjoy up to two days of battery life, along with lightning-fast wired and wireless charging when it’s time to re-juice!

On top of its 6.8-inch AMOLED display that brings 1440 x 3168 resolution to the table and up to 4,500 nits at peak brightness, the OP 12 has 120Hz refresh rate capabilities, too, which bodes well for those of us who plan on watching movies and playing games on this phone. It has a fantastic camera setup as well, complete with a 114-degree field of view with up to 3x optical zoom!

This deal will last through Black Friday, ending on December 2. It won’t get any better between now and then, so you might as well grab it today. Take $250 off the OnePlus 12 when you purchase through the manufacturer, and be sure to check out our lists of the best phone deals and best prepaid phone deals, too.

Shopping for new smartphones can be a real chore, and Android devotees have it harder than those of us in the iOS camp when it comes to choosing a new device. Multiple brands use Android for phones, but in our experience, one manufacturer that tends to rise above the herd is OnePlus. And right now, the company is offering one heck of a deal:

For a limited time, when you purchase either the 256GB or 512GB version of the OnePlus 12, you’ll get the OnePlus Nord N30 5G (8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage) for absolutely free! That’s a $300 value, friends.
