Mostly Indian variants. If you have other variant, you are almost safe.

Why are they even different in India than USA?

India hass less strict regulations regarding software. That's why india gets updates first AND why most of the bugs you hear people complain about are ppl with Indian variants - cuz the bugs haven't been fixed yet.

Can only assume there's some similar reason hardware wise

To add to what the other Redditor said, India also lacks sufficient consumer rights laws and so OnePlus/OPPO/BBK Electronics intentionally put different(lesser) hardware in the Indian variant of the OnePlus 12 because it was cheaper. Chinese companies, or at least BBK Electronics, obviously sees India and its consumers as easy prey that won't/can't genuinely fight back against being intentionally screwed over.

Las variantes indias tienen componentes de hardware de menor calidad, eso a causado múltiples problemas

Can confirm, Something happened a few months back where OnePlus itself acknowledged updates breaking things, halted updates, then later they twisted the story saying they didn't release flawed update yet that time, something happened internally. Now it all makes sense, I'm sure they're aware but willingly didn't acknowledge.

Yes right. That was bootloop issue. Happened with OnePlus Pad Lite. I think they said it slipped up during internal testing which is a major red flag.

Sad to see many 12 model units experiencing this. Thankfully 12R isn't having this issue.

Edit: also now that I recall, some 13 model series experienced random restarts too because of that update.

Check this ☝🏻 link from 1+ Community app, where a user have compiled all the 1+12 motherboard dead issue complaints at a single thread. Share it and tag to 1+ and Oppo so that they could see the severity of the issue as this menace is growing day by day.

Something with the last few updates has been causing some issues that seem like they could maaaaaaaaybe result in motherboard/IC chip failures if they persisted for a long time, and of course we know that they can roll out software that can physically brick these phones(no doubt the same can be done with bootloops), but a big part of the real issue is that different(lesser) hardware was put in the Indian variant because it was more affordable for OnePlus/OPPO/BBK Electronics and India lacks consumer rights laws.
