OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12 is the latest flagship from the popular brand, boasting a host of upgrades over its predecessor. A larger battery, bigger and brighter screen, and revamped cameras are just a few of the changes on offer. The phone's design may not have undergone a radical transformation, but it still looks sleek and premium, with Gorilla Glass 5 and a smooth matte finish on the back. With improved performance, a high refresh rate display, and IP65-rated ingress protection, this device is poised to be one of the top contenders in its class.

Xiaomi Redmi K60

The Redmi K60 Ultra is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers a premium design, impressive display, and decent performance. While its design may not be as sleek as the OnePlus H2 Pro, it has a more refined look and feel. The phone's screen is top-notch, with high refresh rates, peak brightness, and PWM, making it ideal for gaming and video streaming. However, the K60 Ultra lags behind the H2 Pro in terms of performance, particularly during stress tests and gaming sessions. It overheats quickly, causing frame rates to drop significantly. While the phone's 120W fast charging is impressive, its lack of wireless charging is a drawback. The camera performance is decent, but not exceptional. The Leica-style color tones are a highlight, but photos can appear over-contrasted and underexposed at times. Video recording quality is good, but the ultra-wide angle camera has noticeable purple fringing issues. In terms of battery life, the K60 Ultra performs similarly to its competitors, lasting around 20 minutes on a full charge. The phone's speakers are average, lacking the sonic fidelity of the H2 Pro. Overall, the Redmi K60 Ultra is a solid mid-range offering that excels in display quality but falls short in performance and battery life compared to more expensive options like the OnePlus H2 Pro. It's worth considering for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with impressive visuals.
