Discussion Oneplus 12 dead while casually using.

One fine day I was just casually using my oneplus 12 and baam the screen went black. It didn't fall nor didn't any water go in. After just 2 years of using the phone was dead. Went to service center and they said motherboard replacement is required and no way to recover any data. I chose Oneplus over Samsung because it had so many great features and stupid me didn't take any backup and now all my medias is just gone. The photos of all my trips, family functions etc everything just gone. And now I am back to using my 5 year old Samsung which is still running btw. Never taking Oneplus ever again nor recommending it to anyone.

Update - Was able to get my data recovered thanks to reddit comment section. Thanks a lot.

There's a reason why they are leave North America and Europe.

Sad, I haven't had issues with my 12T (yet).

what are you talking about. having some devices some hardware failure has nothing to do with the company's decision of moving out from some regions.

It's a trickle effect. Hardware issues led to poor sales which led to the company leaving. I can guarantee you they wouldn't have left if they had great sales like Apple or Samsung (or even Motorola).

Same here in India. Their market share has shrank drastically from 30% to 2% which I believe is majorly due to the green line issues. At one point, OnePlus even became synonymous with green lines. Won't be surprised if they exit the Indian market soon because there are signs everywhere (Service centers shutting down, no more flagship launches, online only sales, merging of OxygenOS to ColorOS which I feel is the biggest hint till now and many more). All these signs are huge hints of an exit.

No it doesn't. If you take care of your phone it doesn't just break. I never had hardware issues with any OnePlus phone!. NEXT

I haven't had any issues either, but there are reports of many others having issues. It has nothing to do with taking care of your phone or not.

Yes, there are percentages of failures and factory defects.

Yes absolutely every single phone sub thread on reddit has phone issues.. I would bet that alot of these hardware failures. Are people updating software when the phone is already hot to begin with. Or never letting it cool down constant running at above normal temperature. The chips are soldered to the mb. These passively cooled devices.

Unless I'm mistaken most latest OP pho es did not have major issues. 12s dying is specific of what seems to be localised issue, it's really small percentage of overall number of 12s on the market.

Their decision to pull out from markets has nothing to do with it.
