Aside from the OnePlus 12, the company has also revealed the OnePlus 12R, a more affordable flagship phone. The phone has been in the leaks for some time now and is already available in China as OnePlus Ace 3. Now, this phone is coming to the international markets, and if you have been trying to save some money and still get a great phone, this is definitely something that you should be looking into.
The OnePlus 12R is ridiculously affordable for the specs that it has to offer
Now, the good thing about the OnePlus 12R is that it features some really powerful internals, and honestly, one can easily call it a more affordable OnePlus 11. The phone offers Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Under the hood, you will find a 5,500 mAh battery powering the device. The battery charges at 100W, so if you are worried that your phone might not charge in time, you will not have to worry about it.

The OnePlus 12R also offers a brilliant display on the front that can go as bright as 4,500 nits of peak brightness. The panel is the same as the one found in the elder sibling, with the main difference being the resolution, as this phone has 1.5K resolution. 120Hz refresh rate is also on the paper, so you can enjoy the smoothest experience one can possibly want.
The OnePlus 12R has a really impressive camera array with the Sony IMX890 primary sensor. You also get an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 2-megapixel macro camera. I really wish that there was a telephoto sensor, but I guess a macro camera is there for you if you want to try it out.
As far as the pricing and availability are concerned, the OnePlus 12R is available in Iron Grey and Cool Blue colors. The latter will only be available in the 16/256GB variant, with the bronze color being available only in China.
- OnePlus 12R (8GB + 128GB): $499.99
