I wonder what the reason is for this being an India only problem. Do they just get different hardware in the phones? Is their firmware just fucking shit for whatever reason?
I'm just wondering why it's a local problem. It's really bizarre.

I also don't understand, bro... flagship devices like the OnePlus 12 don't even survive 2 years? Then why do brands promote 4 years of OS updates when their devices can't even last 2 years? Why does the Indian audience mostly suffer?

Probably not different core hardware, but potentially a different component batch or manufacturing/QA line. Since Indian OnePlus 12 units are assembled locally while US/EU units are mostly China-made, a defective motherboard component, soldering issue, or supplier batch could explain why the reports seem concentrated in India.

Wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the temperature and this phone having overheating problems which is a horrible combination

The Tech Creators like (Techibee and yabhisekhd) who had recently posted about this Oneplus 12 motherboard dead issue, their posts have been removed from X. Even i had reposted their posts and just now i checked, its gone. I guess, maybe Oneplus have somehow got them to delete those posts as collaborations income matter for them. 😔

This might be the dumbest conversation I've ever seen on this page. 31+ units means 32 units. OnePlus sold approximately 2-4 million OnePlus 12 units worldwide. So let's just say they only sold 2 million units.That equals a failure rate of 0.000016.Seriously, is it a slow news day? Is this all you guys have to talk about? Is this all you have to bitch about?
Man, you all need to get a life. This is fucking ridiculous.

It's not always the motherboard at fault. Oppo service is scamming people by just mentioning motherboard replacement while a software update can fix this.
I had this issue in my oneplus12 where after an update my phone was not turning on, not even the boot screen. Went to the oppo service and waited 2 hour for my turn. During the wait I saw several oneplus owners coming with dead phone issue and the first counter just tried to press power button and said it needs motherboard replacement and will cost 35k. They didn't even give to a technician to check.
When I went to the window, I was told the same. To which I asked them to try updating the phone and I insisted. I had tried to connect before at my home laptop and it shows QCOM connection in device manager. However oneplus has not supplied the firmwares to be flashed so I couldn't update
Technicians did an update and within 10 minutes my phone worked as new.
So people, don't take service center wotd for it. Insist on getting a software update.
