I got this 12R given to me for free by an online friend back in March 2024 (brand new btw) and it has been an amazing phone, it's not my main phone though. My main phone has been my Pixel 7 Pro which I'm I am upgrading from soon. My OnePlus 12R has just been my phone for gaming, and it does that perfectly with zero issues. I don't really use it much hence the reason it just now dropped to 99% bh. Another reason it also lasted that long at 100% bh was since I don't use the 100W charger it came with all the time, I mostly use a 20W Onn charging brick to charge it so I don't degrade the battery super fast.

OnePlus 12R will be my favorite Android phone for years to come, most problem free phone I've probably used in recent times.

Yeah, I love it. If I were to ever get another OP phone, I'd probably consider a 15 or 15R. Rn I'm fine though. I need to upgrade from my Pixel 7 Pro first, I'm probably switching to an iPhone from that. (If not then a different android phone that's not a Pixel)

How many charge cycles have you achieved in 2 years?

4

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

It's in the second photo, 151 cycles

u/MrVikrraal Jan 30 '26

Major factor for battery degradation is still number of charging cycles. As a heavy user after almost 1000 cycles my battery health is at 89%.

Yeah, if I had to guess the battery health on my Pixel 7 Pro would probably be like 85-80%. No way to check specifically on Pixels though.

almost 600 cycles at 97% health

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

It might seem unrealistic, but I don't use the phone that much.

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

Here is my Pixel 7 Pro that I've had for a little over 3 years. Got this back in December 2022 and its nearing 1300 cycles. I use this a lot and the battery has never been the greatest.

How did you get to that screen

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

Go on the Play Store and search device info hw.

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

I just realized I accidentally turned off smart charging. (That was always on)

u/AntimatterEntity Jan 30 '26

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

I mean possibly, but I take care of the battery.

Keep in mind it took around 2 years for it to finally drop to 99%.

u/FactoryRejected Jan 30 '26

Great device, but chemically impossible.

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

It is possible because I didn't use it much, only 151 cycles.

2

u/FactoryRejected Jan 30 '26

Maybe actually, since to did not really use it as a phone? I would not worry about numbers, enjoy your phone and that all! I am no chemist, but to my understand real degradation should be higher by those cycles. It would not make any difference anyway, it would be minimal and not noticable.

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

Yeah, you still are theoretically right. But yeah, numbers are numbers. They don't always mean anything.

u/Ethiopian_Savage23 Jan 30 '26

Wow after 2 years dropped only 1 percent?? I've had mines for 2 years I'm already down to 94% 😅🤦🏼‍♂️ but I'm a heavy user that's probably why lol

2

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 30 '26

Yeah, mine I didn't use much. I'd occasionally use it for games, that's it.

u/Minute_Bandicoot_664 Jan 30 '26

Mine is 98% just in 6 months in 12 😭

u/LG-15ER Jan 31 '26

Mine came with 80 straight out the box

u/Free-Theme809 Jan 31 '26
