If you're interested in a larger screen and a slightly better battery life at an upper midrange price, the OnePlus 12 is a solid choice with its 6.82-inch display and 5400mAh battery. However, if you prefer a phone with slightly more robust camera features, including a telephoto lens with greater megapixels for zoomed-in shots, the Samsung Galaxy S24+ may be worth the additional cost. Both phones offer similar storage, performance, and have the latest Android OS, but the Galaxy S24+ comes at a premium price and has a slightly shorter battery life at 4900mAh and a 6.7-inch screen.
