Between the ThinkPhone and OnePlus 12, the ThinkPhone comes out ahead in weight and refresh rate, while the OnePlus 12 wins on wireless charging and antutu. Overall, the ThinkPhone scores 64.6 and the OnePlus 12 scores 69.6 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 12 edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.6 vs 69.6), but the 5.0-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the ThinkPhone if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, refresh rate, water resistance.
Pick the OnePlus 12 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are wireless charging, antutu, ram, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, front camera, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the OnePlus 12 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
