Several new features are being rolled out for OnePlus 12 users as part of the OxygenOS 15.0.0.701 update, which is based on Android 15.

This update, which includes the March 2025 security patch, primarily focuses on enhanced customization for the home screen. Users can now resize app folders to either 1×2 or 2×1 dimensions. Additionally, the dock can accommodate five apps when the home screen is set to display four apps per row. OnePlus 12 users will also enjoy improved music player controls for Spotify within the Live Alerts feature.

Recently, the OxygenOS 15.0.0.700 update started rolling out for OnePlus Open users. Similar to the OnePlus 12, the rollout is happening gradually worldwide.

The OnePlus 12 was launched in early 2024 and boasts a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and QHD+ resolution (3168 x 1440 pixels). Like many flagship smartphones of its time, it is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, available with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and it offers up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The phone features a triple rear camera system developed in partnership with Hasselblad, which includes a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 64MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. For selfies, there is a 32MP front camera.

The OnePlus 12 has received praise for its outstanding performance, display quality, battery life, and enhanced camera capabilities compared to previous OnePlus models, making it a strong contender in the premium smartphone market.

The OnePlus 13 was introduced earlier this year. It offers several new features over its predecessor, including a next-generation chipset, an improved camera system, a bigger battery, and more.

OnePlus 13T launches with flagship-grade firepower in a compact form

OnePlus 13T in hand.

After weeks of teasing, OnePlus has revealed its compact phone -- the OnePlus 13T -- in China. The 13T is OnePlus' response to the emerging focus brands have on thin and light phones, including the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone 17 Air. Despite its teensy build, the OnePlus 13T packs in plenty of power, including an unrelenting Snapdragon 8 Elite, an immersive high-resolution display, and a large battery unlike other phones of its size.

The biggest highlight is the compact design, opposing the general trend among phones stretching out of hands. Accounting for its compactness, the OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display -- compared to the 6.9-inch one used on the OnePlus 13. Even with the smaller size, the display maintains its crispness, with a 1.5K resolution and adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The display supports Dolby Vision and achieves a peak brightness of 2,400 nits.

How is your phone camera tested? I flew to China to find out

For almost a decade, we’ve lived in an incredible era of smartphones. Phones do considerably more than they did eight years ago when the original iPhone launched, and nowhere is this more apparent than in smartphone cameras.

From single cameras — and occasionally double — in the pre-smartphone era, we’ve now descended into an era where three and four cameras are commonplace on smartphones. Instead of being focused on a subject immediately in front of you, the best smartphone cameras now allow you to zoom in or out, take incredible portrait photos, and record high-quality professional video.
