Samsung Galaxy S24 vs OnePlus 12: design
The Samsung Galaxy S24 maintains the same design as last year’s S23. It features a center-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter, narrow bezels surrounding the screen, and flat edges. On the right spine, you’ll find the volume and power buttons. A new design change is the aluminium frame, which matches the colour palette of the smartphone.
At the rear, the triple camera sensors are arranged separately, along with an LED flash and the Samsung logo. The smartphone comes with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The phone will be available in Amber Yellow, Cobalt Violet, Onyx Black, Sapphire Blue, and Jade Green colour options.
The curved display and rear panel make up for a comfortable holding experience; however, the device’s weight, at 220g, may be a bit hefty, which might not appeal to all users. The camera module features Hasselblad branding, and the metal frame is also tinted green and blends into the overall colour palette of the smartphone. The device is rated IP65, which is dust-resistant but isn’t quite water-resistant. The Gorilla Glass 5 protects the rear glass panel from damage.

The display comes with a resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels (FHD+) and comes with HDR10+ support, which allows the smartphone to stream in HD on OTT platforms. The Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protects the display panel against damage and scratches.
The OnePlus 12 features a 6.82-inch curved AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The flagship comes with an LTPO panel, which allows it to have an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz. The panel has a resolution of 3,168 x 1,440 pixels (QHD+) and 4,500nits peak brightness, and it comes with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support. The display uses a Display P1 chip, which claims to deliver sharper and brighter pictures with lower power consumption.
