If you prioritize top-of-the-line camera quality and battery life, the OnePlus 12 is a superior choice. It not only has a significantly larger battery capacity but also outperforms in both photo and video quality. However, if affordability is more crucial for you, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ should be considered as it is much less expensive. The Note10+ also includes a stylus, which the OnePlus 12 lacks, making it potentially more appealing if productivity features are important to you. Keep in mind that the OnePlus 12 is a more recent model with a higher performance processor, but it's at a higher price point. Both phones offer large screens and are Android-based, ensuring a broad selection of apps and similar user experiences. Give Feedback

WIRED
Lauren Goode | August 2019
"It is difficult to drain the 4300-mAh battery on the Samsung Galaxy Note10+. I tried. I used it over the weekend, and I didn’t have to recharge it once between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. It’s a shiny spectacle of a phone, a kind of playground for Samsung, where the company can flex its acrobatic skills."
