Forget Galaxy S24 — this underrated OnePlus 12 feature beats Samsung

OnePlus 12 held in the hand.

When the OnePlus 12 arrived at my door, the first thing I ogled over was the phone's stunning design. For a device we expect to undercut its rivals on price, the OnePlus 12 is a surprisingly well built, stylish phone, complete with premium materials and a penchant for detail. Upon closer inspection, however, I discovered an oddity that I wasn’t expecting.

While I’m stoked about the return of wireless charging to OnePlus' flagship phone, I’m equally as excited that OnePlus has included an infrared blaster as well. I didn’t expect to find one and it’s not a feature you often see in some of the best phones today, but nonetheless, it's an Easter egg I’m happy to discover. Toward the top edge of the phone embedded into its metal trim, is a tiny circular cutout that presumably tucks away an infrared blaster.
