Wasn't aware there was a dedicated OP12 thread! Awesome. Had mine for just over a month now. Loving it!! 12gb/256gb White version, Aliexpress, Global rom, R12.8k all in roughly... Aliexpress discount voucher used was around R1500 plus discount from the merchant too... fantastic value for money!!
I tried to find RTT, but was unable to. Searching the phone's settings gave me no results.
I actually had to look it up - didn't know this existed.
I agree with the comment about value for money. Getting a Chinese version flashed with the Global ROM turns out to be quite a nice hack to save a significant chunk of change, without any downsides. It was a bit of a gamble, but worked out very well indeed.
I'm quite often surprised by just how long app stay in memory. I'd open a app for the first time in 24 hours tk find it's in the same state I left it the day before. 16GB model here.
Recent OxygenOS updates also improved to UX in a couple of ways, better animations being one. I'm very happy.

Thanks for looking, bit of a bummer it doesn't have it
Also referred to as text call or call assist but you would have seen it I'm sure
I've had the OnePlus 12 for 2 days now and i must say this phone offers a lot for the price. The camera is great and I'm still trying to figure it out, has a lot of good features. This is the Chinese version flashed with Oxygen OS, bought it from someone here in Joburg (probably a member in here 
). 512gb/16gb, green, it has eSim but when i click "add eSim" nothing happens, it would be interesting to know if anyone that imported the Global version has managed to activate eSim with any of our local service providers (I'm with MTN).
There a lot that can be customised too in the settings menu, one feature that i think is worth mentioning is that there's a setting that allows you to force authentication to restart or power off, together with disabling access to notification bar when screen is locked. This adds a little extra layer of security in case it's lost and someone tries switching it off or disabling data connection or even turning on flight mode (so that the device can't be tracked).

Have mine for about 3 months now. Bought it in the US so im guessing its the global version. Esim works but i have only used it with Airalo. Don't see why it wouldn't work with our local networks.

esim does not work on Chinese models flashed with Global Rom. esim also not available not Indian variants
esim only available on EU and US devices
That forced authentication feature is also available on my S24 Ultra. All options locked besides volume modes.

Thank you, so with my model being the EU version, model number CPH2581, it should have eSim, maybe there's a different reason why it won't work/doesn't respond at this point when i click "add eSim"

CPH2581 is firmware number for both EU and Global roms.
I got Chinese OP12 on global firmware. I switched to EU just for quicker firmware rollouts.
Esim seems to be working (I use dual SIM).

Maybe download oxygen Updater to verify your devices rom status.

Change region without losing data.
First, you can only use this method if your phone isn't up to date. (Edit : apparently, it work with up to date OOS for some peoples) Download Oxygen Updater. Download the OTA of your current region (select incremental (full) in settings) Once...

This worked for me. Very simple procedure.
On the next screen, after clicking "enable", what happens when you click " add eSim option?CPH2581 is firmware number for both EU and Global roms.

Add esim had no effect. So you saying that's the same step you getting stuck at?
