Software and updates

Should you buy the OnePlus 12?
The OnePlus 12 is no longer produced, and its direct successor is the OnePlus 13. New units are now hard to find, mostly through resellers. It still suits buyers who want fast wired and wireless charging, a large battery and a 3x periscope camera. However, the IP65 rating is lower than the IP68 rating on many rivals. Buyers who want the longest software support should look at newer phones.
