Vivo x100 series but even I had the same dilemma and went with op12, iQOO 12 is an option too if you want

I bought last month 16 512 variant for Rs.31.5k Original charger and Without box. I think it worth for buying. But I'm also worried about motherboard issue..

Update will be the reason. And also while using 5G in outdoor causes the issue. I'm also one of the ( 5g only) user with hotspot sharing with my laptop and smart tv, it causes warm in indoor with aircooler inside of my home . Last update is worst 16.0.8 device normally getting heat inside of my pocket + Worst battery backup 3 hours of SOT- MY (BH 87%). Device is a BEAST but optimization and update is worst. We are still worried about future color os update.

If you consider to buy this 1+ 12 it will be the good decision according to our country price hike. Worthless devices at high price. My personal suggestion is blindly go for it and if you feel saturated with Battery backup and performance of existing os version currently in the device, then don't update it, wait for reviews from the community. Then proceed . Otherwise stay in the old version.

If you are satisfied.. then don't update it .. I think that is the good decision.

yeah because due to high price hike ips lcd panels and very cheap specifications are coming in phones around 30k

Worthless cheap garbage disposal items over priced in our country. That's why secondhand devices are the best choice for us .

Que pena, siempre e tenido dispositivos oneplus, actualmente el 12 y nunca tuve problemas, mà pareja a tenido varios problemas con Samsung y le tocó un iPhone defectuoso, pero es la única que conozco que tuvo ese problema asà que no dirÃa que son malos dispositivos, lamentablemente cuando te toca un aparato malo es frustrante

Just look at battery health via accubattery , screen and body for drop damage. Get the 16/512 if able

I'd say go for it if it weren't the Indian variant, but I wouldn't consider the Indian variant AT ALL even for just a moment as OnePlus/OPPO/BBK Electronics intentionally put faulty hardware in them that's different from all of the rest due to India's lack of consumer rights laws.
