The OnePlus 12 is one of the most powerful phones on the market: it's a strong contender for the fastest I've ever used, with cameras that rival dedicated point-and-shoots for quality and a construction that just screams "premium." If I were in the market for a new phone, it'd be my lucky day because, thanks to an excellent Black Friday deal, the OnePlus 12 is available from OnePlus directly for £649 (was £849).

Moreover, this discounted price stands before any further savings from the company's generous trade-in program, handled by partners World Business SRL. In any case, £649 (or below) is an exceptional price for a phone this powerful, and it's likely the phone I'd go for were I shopping for myself this Black Friday.
