play01:29

play01:30

- As if he's seeing it for the first time. - I just saw it.

play01:33

play01:36

But the color is really good.

play01:38

- It looks like a marble stone. - Yes.

play01:40

Rivers in foreign countries,

play01:41

[Man sings]

play01:42

- Not that. - Like Niagara Falls?

play01:44

Falls will have rocks, right?

play01:46

They say this design was inspired from those rocks.

play01:49

It comes in black too.

play01:51

It comes in two variants.

play01:53

- Look at the camera bump. - It's big.

play01:55

It's big. Look here.

play01:56

It is strong.

play01:57

The glass feels strong.

play02:00

Its a bit heavy compared to 11.

play02:02

11's weight along with the case,

play02:04

that's the weight of this phone.

play02:06

There's a reason. We'll discuss that later.

play02:08

What is the protection?

play02:10

It has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection.

play02:12

Superb.

play02:13

We shouldn't talk much about this now.

play02:16

We'll save it for later.

play02:17

What else?

play02:18

- 100W adapter like last time. - It is the same.

play02:20

It is the same charging cable.

play02:22

It charges fast.

play02:24

No matter how many phones they launch,

play02:25

they don't give Type C to Type C.

play02:27

They did it in between.

play02:28

I don't know why.

play02:30

The advantage is,

play02:31

100W wired charging

play02:33

and 50W wireless charging.

play02:34

- Not bad, 50W wireless charging! - Yes.

play02:36

- Is charger available for that? - Yes.

play02:38

Actually, they launched a charger earlier.

play02:40

They're launching a charger now.

play02:41

Exactly. Fast charging is only 20W.

play02:46

Why are you laughing like a fool?

play02:47

Laugh softly.

play02:48

All of us know who you're referring to.

play02:52

You know it too.

play02:53

There's one more guy who does the same.

play02:55

He is 45.

play02:55

They changed to maximum of 45.

play02:57

But bro, it looks like 11.

play03:00

What is new in this?

play03:01

First, design.

play03:02

Two colors as I said.

play03:04

- Design is the same in all phones. - It looks the same.

play03:06

iPhone and Samsung does it too.

play03:08

Two colors is the upgrade.

play03:09

The weight is a bit.

play03:10

The reason for the weight is its battery.

play03:13

They've increased the battery from last time.

play03:16

It was 5000mAh last time.

play03:17

Here, it is 5400 mAh.

play03:19

5400?

play03:20

Last one was good too.

play03:22

The battery was good.

play03:23

It charges fast and can be used for a long time.

play03:25

It'll last a day for sure.

play03:27

The second upgrade is the SOC.

play03:29

- What's the latest one? - 8 Gen 3.

play03:31

That's what is given here.

play03:32

Will it have AI features and more?

play03:35

- We'll have to wait and see. - We'll wait!

play03:37

To boost its performance,

play03:40

OnePlus has included Trinity Engine.

play03:45

- Don't! - It reminded me of that.

play03:47

They're coming up with Trinity Engine.

play03:49

- It's.. - Petrol or diesel engine?

play03:50

Bro, I told you not to do comedy.

play03:53

No comedy!

play03:54

Trinity Engine means,

play03:55

3 things.

play03:57

CPU, RAM, ROM.

play03:58

It'll boost the performance by optimizing all three.

play04:02

And, another important thing is,

play04:04

They always say that, it has the biggest vapor chamber cooling right?

play04:07

It's big in this too.

play04:09

The most hyped thing in this is,

play04:12

What do creators like us need?

play04:13

Camera.

play04:14

The upgrade in the camera is,

play04:16

Sony's top end sensor,

play04:18

which was used in the OnePlus Open,

play04:20

called Sony Lytia.

play04:21

It uses that sensor.

play04:23

50MP OIS.

play04:24

The performance, camera quality, will be good.

play04:28

It was good in 11 too.

play04:29

OnePlus Open was good too.

play04:31

- So, it'll be better here too. - It'll be good.

play04:33

- We expect it to be. - It will be.

play04:35

Another highlight in this camera is,

play04:38

you can shoot 4K videos with Dolby Vision.

play04:41

Dolby Vision. But,

play04:42

OnePlus Open had Dolby vision.

play04:43

It was good.

play04:44

It was good in OnePlus Open.

play04:46

So, this is the camera's upgrade.

play04:47

Unexpectedly,

play04:49

Generally what's the front camera in OnePlus phones?

play04:51

16MP.

play04:52

I expected the same.

play04:54

I was like, what's there to talking about it?

play04:55

- It's 32MP this time. - Upgrade, right?

play04:57

They'd upgrade right?

play04:59

- But, It was 32MP in OnePlus Open as well. - Yes

play05:01

They broke OnePlus Open in half

play05:03

and launched OnePlus 12.

play05:05

Almost.

play05:06

Because, the camera, software optimization, update,

play05:09

All this

play05:10

OS update for 4 years,

play05:11

security patch for 5 years.

play05:12

It'll have out of the box Android 14.

play05:15

Why didn't they go for 7 years?

play05:17

That'll be next year.

play05:18

Similarly, the base variant,

play05:20

is changed to 12GB.

play05:22

Last year, it was 8GB.

play05:23

It was 8GB and 12GB.

play05:24

Now, the base variant is 12GB + 256GB.

play05:27

- Not bad. - Another unexpected upgrade is,

play05:30

Eventhough the display looks the same,

play05:32

with the same features,

play05:35

and the same size.

play05:36

- Come to the point. - Is it the fingerprint on top?

play05:39

No. It's the same as last time.

play05:41

But, the peak brightness is 4500nits.

play05:44

4500 nits?

play05:45

Its like battery's mAh.

play05:46

4500 mAh.

play05:47

What do you mean by 4500?

play05:49

Under sunlight..

play05:50

They say it'll brighter in any amount of sunlight.

play05:53

Let's tets.

play05:54

Why are you blabbering?

play05:55

I'm going to use it near the sun.

play05:57

It'll burst.

play05:58

They've brought changes in the display as well.

play06:01

2K display,

play06:02

120H and Dolby Vision. It has almost everything.

play06:05

It has the highest brightness for now among OnePlus.

play06:07

I think its the highest among all phones.

play06:09

4500.

play06:10

I haven't heard of it.

play06:11

Even iPhone 15 Pro Max's battery isn't that much.

play06:14

- It is 4370. - Yeah, around that.

play06:17

Actually,

play06:18

this is the peak brightness.

play06:20

HDR content, very bright situation,

play06:22

to look bright in such situations.

play06:24

Other than that, average brightness will be less.

play06:27

They've upgraded the display a bit.

play06:29

What is the IP rating?

play06:30

It's IP65 in China.

play06:32

- Forget China. What about India? - Yes.

play06:34

This is Indian retail unit.

play06:35

They haven't mentioned it yet.

play06:37

We'll know at the time of launch.

play06:38

- There's one other thing. - What?

play06:39

It has something called Aqua touch.

play06:41

I'll thrash you if you talk about my sister.

play06:43

- Please.. - He's asking to touch my sister.

play06:45

He knows nothing!

play06:46

Hey, Give me some water.

play06:48

Aqua.

play06:49

Aqua touch means,

play06:50

Usually, when we go out in rain or if water splashes

play06:52

the touch wouldn't work fine or wouldn't work at all.

play06:55

The touch will work perfect even if there's water.

play06:59

So, It'll work fine.

play07:00

Many people use phone in the bathroom.

play07:02

- It'll superb. - Brother! It's for you.

play07:05

We can use it, even if water splashes.

play07:07

Hey, Aren't you ashamed to peek inside?

play07:09

Aren't you ashamed?

play07:11

It doesn't say its IP68,

play07:12

but Aqua. Which means it will be, right?

play07:14

You said China has it. If we go to China..

play07:16

I think it'll have that, if you take it to China.

play07:19

Bro, If we take this phone to China,

play07:21

you'll get IP rating if we take it to China.

play07:23

Hey, Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

play07:24

Leave him.

play07:26

- What happened? - He's torturing me.

play07:28

Bro, I'll ask that doubt.

play07:30

- You said it has IP rating in China. - I asked that.

play07:32

It's my joke.

play07:34

You said it has IP rating in China.

play07:35

Will it have IP rating, if we take it to China?

play07:37

Can't you [BEEP]?

play07:39

Finally, this USB port,

play07:40

it is USB 3.2.

play07:43

So, for things like data transfer,

play07:45

it competes with all other top end phones.

play07:48

As far as I know, these are the upgrades I can say as of now.

play07:51

Yeah. Because, we are shooting in embargo.

play07:53

11 was good too.

play07:55

They gave a good comeback.

play07:56

When we compare it with 12..

play07:57

Not a good comeback but a great comeback.

play08:00

Yeah, 11 and 11R.

play08:01

Launched for a good price at a peak time.

play08:04

After that, Nord was launched.

play08:06

- Nord costed Rs.20,000-30,000. - It was good.

play08:09

OnePlus Open was superb.

play08:10

It gave a tough fight.

play08:12

I think, its a good upgrade compared to 11.

play08:15

But, Price.

play08:15

How much do you think?

play08:16

I think OnePlus 11's base variant was launched for Rs.57,000.

play08:20

- You said the base variant is 12GB, right? - Yes.

play08:22

I think it'll be good if it is 65K.

play08:24

65K to 68K.

play08:26

You mean an additional 5K is fine.

play08:28

I think, it'll be good if its 60K.

play08:30

6T was launched long back. This one is 12.

play08:32

Talking rubbish. Get lost.

play08:34

Not like that. I feel it'll be good if it costs Rs.60,000.

play08:37

But still, Rs.65,000 is a decent price.

play08:41

I feel it'll be worth the upgrade.

play08:43

They can maintain the comeback, if they launch it for that price.

play08:46

True. Its difficult otherwise.

play08:48

So, what do you think is a good price?

play08:51

Let's see, how many of them get it right.

play08:53

Comment your thoughts.

play08:54

We'll discuss its worth

play08:56

and have a detailed review on the day of launch.

play08:59

- Ok? - It'll be good if its free.

play09:00

He'll comment the same.

play09:02

Bro, give a giveaway.

play09:04

Giveaway? They'll take it back.

play09:06

Is the review done? Send it.

play09:08

They'll say so.
